My wife and I were told by a fellow traveler in Lititz Pa. that we had to try Maison in Lancaster. We were able to reserve a 6:30 table on a Saturday night...lucky us. From the moment we were greeted by the lovely owner we were impressed and pleased. The servers took time to explain the restaurant's concept of fresh... More

After reading mixed reviews on Tripadvisor, I decided to come try it for myself. I was happy that I did. I thought the waitstaff was friendly--and yes, they do go through a detailed discussion about being farm to table and local sourcing...but our table found it interesting not annoying. The food was really nice and while it was a bit... More

I loved that so much of their menu is made with local ingredients. The service we had was wonderful. The staff are friendly and knowledgable. Great portion size ( not too big but filling). The food was relish. My husband had rabbit, I had bass. We both enjoyed our dinner. The dining room gets a bit loud but it didn't... More

I went to Maison with high expectations - and left swearing to never go back. Never again. The woman who was the hostess, later I found out was one of the owners, was not welcoming. Apparently she is the wife of the chef. The tables were pushed so close together that my date felt crushed. Awkward would be a compliment.... More

It is all too difficult to have a really good meal anywhere. And the failure of Maison to provide one is certainly forgivable. But after the lectures one hears before dining of their careful sourcing of ingredients--their search for the best purveyors, produce from their own farm--, the food might have been better than it was. Certainly, it might have... More

If Maison served wine, it would be near perfect. The menu is short, but the dishes are lovingly prepared and tip-top quality. The ruling concept is locally acquired food whenever possible (some of the seafood and meats come from far away--we tried to avoid those). The servers will direct you to a wine store a block away once you have... More

Had a delicious meal at this eclectic restaurant in downtown Lancaster. It's BYOB and kinda pricy but well worth it. Would definitely recommend it! Great service, food and ambience.

We both enjoyed our meals from the wonderful bread to the main event. The wait staff was exceptional and very pleasant making for a more enjoyable meal. The only thing keeping me from 5 stars is the noise level. I would think that it would be worthwhile for the restaurant to invest in some sound buffering on the ceiling, walls... More

If this restaurant had opened last week, I might flinch about giving it such a low rating. We had a reservation for a table early on a weekend night. Maison is a restaurant in downtown Lancaster in a vibrant part of town. I wanted to like the restaurant because the Website was enticing. The physical space is a small dining... More

From the energetic atmosphere, to the amazing staff, the food is nothing less then incredible! The dishes are so full of flavor and fresh home grown goodness, it is always exciting to see what's on the menu! Hands down some of the best food in Lancaster. Thanks for bringing this little piece of heaven to Lancaster!
