    Our first time visiting Kefi - we were celebrating my birthday with an evening out and so glad we chose Kefi for our dinner. Our server (Christine, I believe) was attentive and kept us updated on our entrees. The place was hopping and we were in no rush whatsoever but we did appreciate her regular checking in. We started the evening with French onion soup and fried eggplant which was delicious. We then enjoyed the halibut and the lobster ravioli (a special for the evening) and both were out of this world. I wasn't expecting halibut in a tomato-based broth/sauce, but it was divine. I had some leftover for lunch later in the week and it heated up beautifully. We ended the meal with a lovely piece of chocolate cake brought to me as a birthday treat with a huge sparkler on it to help me celebrate. All in all we really enjoyed the evening and will return as there are several other items on the menu that we want to try.

    The waitress was very kind and accommodating. The food took forever and was bland. My son’s order was nothing like described on the menu. Way over priced for the quality of the food. We won’t go back

    Our experience at Yorgos was phenomenal! We had a 5 PM reservation but arrived early. We were seated in the Bar area and our server Judy was exceptional. The ambiance was perfect! Although we are mature adults the music was entertaining and the food was delicious! Definitely visit this place again!

    The four of us ate here for a birthday dinner. We originally made reservations for the 2nd floor, but that was closed due to a private event so we were seated on the 3rd floor. The table arrangement was a bit odd - 2 small round tables pushed together, but we made it work. Our server seemed to be working as fast as she could but maybe on multiple floors? Drinks were good, but took forever. Food also took nearly 45 minutes to come and once arrived everything was cold, mashed potatoes were cold paste. We picked at it and dealt with it since we had already been there for an hour and a half at this point. We likely will not return for dinner again. Service and quality did not match the price.

    I have eaten at great Greek restaurants around the country. Yorgos was a nice experience but not the best I've had. The ambiance with comfy, quiet table and relaxing background music was the best part. We had French Onion soup and it did not compare to other local restaurants who offer it on their menu because it lacked enough seasoning and expected rich broth. Our entree, Gyros, only included one piece of pita so the should say Gyro. The accompanying salad was sparce. We will go to dinner here again and try other menu options

    We stumbled upon this place while staying in Lancaster and we were so glad we did. On a Sunday night the place was not very crowded. The service was excellent with our server being warm and friendly. We ordered the Souvlaki and the spanakopita —both were excellent. We hadn’t planned on dessert but then decided we just had to share the baklava cheesecake…..incredible! This place is a true gem!

    What a gem this restaurant is! This was a wonderful , even memorable dining experience. We dined upstairs where the decor is lovely and the ambiance is quiet and warm. Our table was next to a window that looked out to the street below. Our cocktail was generous and well-made and the food is all made in house and delicious. We started with yummy spanakopita bites and enjoyed the best moussaka we’ve ever had. We only wish we had room for dessert as they all sounded delicious. As great as the food is here, what we appreciated the most was the service. The owner, George, and our server were so nice and engaging. We truly felt welcomed here. Lancaster has a surprising number of good dining options, but be sure to include Kefi on your list. You will not be disappointed.

    We were completely pleased with both the service and the food at Yorgos. Our server, Diamore, was pleasant and proficient. She was attentive to our requests, and made several helpful suggestions about our meal choices. Every item we ordered was perfectly prepared and quite delicious. The owner stopped by our table and we had a pleasant conversation. Absolutely a wonderful evening. And the baklava cheesecake that Diamore topped our meal with was nothing less than astounding. Thanks so much.
