Passerine - Lancaster (PA)

5 /5 Zak Shope: My girlfriend and I visited Passerine and it was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. The staff was great. Super friendly and our server was awesome. The food was honestly some of the best food we’ve ever had. We ordered quite a bit. Everything we had was amazing. From the drinks to appetizers and entrees. The chef and his team do an amazing job. Highly recommend!

5 /5 Better Living: We had an incredible dinner at Passerine in downtown Lancaster. The space is beautiful with exposed brick, wood floors, and a welcoming vibe that works whether youre dressed up or casual. It’s relaxed but still feels special. The menu changes frequently based on what’s in season, and every dish we tried was unique and delicious. Highlights were the spring peas in broth (sounds simple, but blew us away), the beetroot carpaccio with crispy sunchoke chips, and the whole grilled branzino, which was perfectly cooked and easily the best we’ve had. The snap pea crepe cake with caviar was also fantastic. Everything is meant to be shared, and the staff was helpful at guiding us through the options. Big shoutout to Weston, who made us feel totally taken care of without rushing us. Cocktails paired well and there’s even a wine shop inside. Expect to spend $50–$100 per person, and definitely make a reservation, especially after their New York Times shoutout. Passerine is awesome. Hyper-local, hyper-seasonal, and deeply creative. One of the best meals weve had in Downtown Lancaster. Search "Passerine Better Living" to see our full review!

5 /5 Abel B: It is difficult to save enough about how great my first experience at this restaurant was. The atmosphere is cozy and cool. Our server was so kind and thoughtful throughout the experience. And the food. My God. The freshness of every ingredient and the thoughtfulness behind its presentation and combination. I can easily say that every time Im in Lancaster, I will make time to come back.

5 /5 Jackie Rogers: A total gem! Had an amazing brunch for my son-in-laws birthday. Charming spot with a well-crafted menu of fresh and local products. We especially loved the Milk Bread French Toast—perfectly portioned and just a hint of sweetness, not too much. And the Shakshuka was delicious and the eggs perfectly poached! Even the OJ and coffee were top notch! Can’t wait to come back to our new favorite brunch spot in Lancaster!

5 /5 Fraser Martens: We had a very pleasant vacation dinner at Passerine, which was quiet when we arrived but grew quietly busy as the evening progressed. We enjoyed the crudités appetizer (which is really more of a composed salad), several of the vegetable plates, the branzino, and the crepe chocolate cake. Cocktails were interesting and the focus of more regional offerings in the wines by the glass was fun. Service was attentive and helpful, for everyone in the room. A very flavorful dinner in a beautiful little space.
