Description
During renovations, workers found in the floor beams a signed inspection stamp--November 5, 1890--with the name of tobacco inspector John J. Jeffries. We named the restaurant after him. We've designed our menu based on local, seasonal, sustainable and organic agriculture and delicious recipes. Please join us and taste the difference of local farm-to-table sustainable cuisine in one of Lancaster's best fine dining restaurants. As the Chefs and Owners of John J Jeffries, we believe you will find our passion for supporting local businesses and preserving the land we live on, to be contagiously obvious in how we run our restaurant. All of our meats are raised locally, confinement-free on fresh green grass pastures. No hormones, antibiotics, steroids or forced-fertilization occurs. Our produce is local organic or chemical free. We use local grass fed cream, butter and eggs. We also provide sustainable seafood and support sustainable fisheries.
After all the great things I had heard about John J Jeffries, I was a little bit disappointed. The menu was a little bit weak, although the food we had was good.
This is one of my favorites places to dine out in the Lancaster area. The food is always fresh, delicious and well presented. The menu is varied and changes from month to month to reflect what is locally available and in season. In addition, the service is exceptional and the environment is unique, interesting and comfortable. Whether its for a casual dining experience or a large party I have never had a bad meal at John Jay.
The staff at John J Jeffries is always friendly and helpful. The best part is that the menu is always changing, so you are always pleasantly surprised with the variety. The atmosphere is wonderful, it is one of my favorite places in Lancaster.
