Had dinner here on a Thursday night with my lovely date. It was my first visit, while it had been several years since my date had last been back. We were seated immediately and warmly welcomed by the friendly staff. At one point another server even recognized us from a previous date at The Exchange -- are we becoming regulars already? Lol. Wilson was our server and was wonderfully patient as we took our time deciding what to order while getting to know each other better. It happened to be jazz night, which added a relaxed, intimate vibe in the background and made for a really enjoyable Thursday evening. We started with the whipped feta dip, which was creamy, tangy, and just slightly sweet -- the kind of appetizer that's hard to stop dipping into once you start. For dinner I chose the Duck and Saucisson Bolognese. The sauce was rich and deeply savory, with tender duck folded into a hearty, slow-simmered ragù that clung beautifully to the pasta. My date ordered the Roasted Butternut Squash and Tuscan Kale Spaghetti, which struck a great balance of sweet and earthy flavors -- the squash adding a natural sweetness while the kale brought a slightly rustic bite that kept the dish from feeling too heavy. Both our plates will be revisited at home for a couple of days as the serving sizes were large! We both absolutely loved our meals and left talking about how good everything was. Between the atmosphere, the service, and the quality of the food, Plough made for a memorable Thursday night out. I want to especially highlight Wilson as he was super attentive and helpful in every way that you would expect from a fine server. read more

We stayed at the hotel and came downstairs for a business dinner. We were a group of 4 and we had the BEST time here. Our server had amazing attention to detail and came around often to answer questions and grab what we needed. It was nice staying at the hotel because we could try all the seasonal drinks and not have to worry about driving. They were all amazing!! And great atmosphere here. It feels like an upscale lounge. The bar is swanky and cool as well. The food was amazing and they gave us nice sized portions. read more

I have been following Plough for about a year on social media. On a trip to Lancaster we finally got the chance to eat there. It was worth the wait. To start, the dining room was nice. Not over the top at all. The food was everything I hoped and more. The melon and buratta were a huge hit. The whole meal was outstanding. Finally our waiter couldn't have been nicer or more attentive. All I can say is if you get yhe chance...go. read more

My family stayed at the hotel for a dance competition, and our meal of small plates was just what the doctor ordered after a long, exhausting day. I'm at the point in life where I would just rather eat in than spend money on another mediocre meal, but the food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The service was excellent. read more

My experience at Plough started off pleasantly. It was quick, easy, and convenient to get a seat, and the waitress was delightful. Based on the menu, I placed my order, but I was unaware that one of the dishes contained cilantro, which I'm allergic to. Shortly after taking a bite, my mouth began to swell. Thankfully, I had Benadryl with me and was able to manage the reaction.I decided to order something else since I was there for dinner, but the second dish was not to my liking at all. I didn't eat it and informed the waitress that I was unhappy with it. Despite this--and despite the allergic reaction I had just experienced--management never came over to apologize or even acknowledge the situation. They also refused to remove the second dish from my bill or take it away from the table.This was extremely disappointing customer service, especially since the waitress never asked about food allergies. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. The customer service was subpar, and I likely would not return because of this experience. read more

We stayed at the Marriott and tried to go without a reservation, the wait was 45 minutes if we wanted a table. They had plenty of tables but maybe not enough staff? By the time we got in I wasn't very hungry so we decided to get some drinks and a few things to snack on. The service was great their timing was very good, the food and drinks were very good and the place is beautiful so we had a great evening. The price was good for its location I would recommend for someone staying near by. read more

Good food and kind servers. The beef tartare had a delicious flavor, although I didn't love the texture. It was a bit tougher than I would prefer. The broccolini was definitely my favorite dish, it was savory and bright with a cream sauce. Atmosphere was very intimate and dimly lit. read more

The food here was great, very rich and filing. I got the mushroom lasagna and surprisingly got full half way through! The presentation was also super pretty and there was this delicious peppery tomato sauce on it surrounded by ricotta. Our server was super kind and apologized many times for the wait but we didn't mind since we were in town for a big event. read more

Hubby and I, on a weekend get-away, stopped here at our hotel for a nightcap and met my BBF (best bartender friend), Gabriel. He made me a take on a French 75 with a hint of cherry (OMG), a NY Sour with Bulliet Rye for hubby, and a Hugo Spritz with some gin to round out my night. All of our drinks were amazing. This place is the pace to go for real craft cocktails, and Gabriel is the guy to see if you want someone to just improvise. Tell him your vibe and he will create magic. 10 stars out of 5!!!!! read more

Beautiful restaurant at the lobby of the Marriott. No issues with wait staff, nothing spectacular. The ambiance was perfect, definitely makes up for the food a little. I got the cavatelli sausage. It was absolutely not edible. A few of my members got the crab cake, they liked it. Some other members got the mushroom pot pie, no comment after finishing it. Kind of disappointed considering it's fairly simple to makes these dishes tasty. Ambiance is enough to return I suppose read more

Well, my second visit to plough in the last year while traveling to Lancaster. The reason for even giving 2 stars was the service. Our server was professional and attentive. We had the tomato bisque turned into a crab soup while very over priced was actually good. My wife and son's meal was average at best my meal was utterly a disaster. I had a pork Chop that was served under cooked. It came pre sliced which in its self odd and very fatty again odd. It was almost like it was pieced together from random pieces of pork. I had asked for it medium well to well and it fell very short of that. It did not seem like a pork chop .It clearly did not meet the menus description. We were all very disappointed. read more

Worst service I've ever had. Food was pretty good and the "server" tried her best - it was the bartender who was also working ~7 tables. This business staffed 2 people to work the entire house on a Sunday afternoon. Longest wait times I've ever experienced. The poor "server" tried her best and we tipped her well but would not recommend going here until management figures out how to run a business. Won't be back, extremely overpriced for the lack of service. read more

Located in the square, this bar is part of the Marriott Hotel in the beautiful old Watt & Shand building. It was a busy Saturday night & 4 of us lucked out with the last 4 bar stools. Shout out to Kevin who was great & kept us entertained. We just had drinks, no food, but enjoyed our visit. read more

Stopped in while walking around downtown. We didn't get food only drinks. Our drinks were okay. I expected to be blown away since they advertised craft cocktails but it was the same as any chain restaurant drink. The bartender greeted us, gave us one menu for two people and took our order. She wasn't rude or mean but definitely not as welcoming as I would have hoped. The lounge is beautiful and provides a nice vibe. The location is downtown so it's street or garage parking. read more

One year later and I finally got a chance to visit Plough again, I really love this place and am so thankful this hotel is local to one of our offices. Reva was my server/bartender and she's the sweetest. I couldn't decide what to eat (so many options) and the menu has changed since I was here last. I saw homemade pastas on the menu, along with many others. I asked Reva her favorite, which was the spicy Lamb Rogu I had been eyeing. I went for it and she was right. So delicious! Until next time Plough. read more

Housemade Focaccia with whipped ricotta and honey- yum! The bread came out as flavorful and a flaky texture even without the spread . One of my friends didn't care for the honey addition. The sea bass was good. The sauce was fine but the taste was alright to me. The presentation of everything was excellent!! Staff very attentive and came to fill our glasses even though we already had a pitcher of water. read more

I really wanted to like this place because the restaurant was very inviting. They had live music and the bar drinks were amazing. I wish I could say the same thing about my food, but I was very disappointed in the menu. I also did not like my food and my waiter was very apologetic, but the manager never came over And didn't even bother to ask what was wrong. I will say the mushroom soup is amazing but check the most current menu before visiting. read more

Food was phenomenal. Got the Mushroom Toast as an appetizer, it was crispy and flavorful. Roasted Lancaster Chicken was juicy and the seasonal vegetables/gravy had great flavor. Atmosphere/service was a little weird. Music was loud, felt like it was music you'd hear in a much more casual or upbeat place. People walking in from the hotel randomly. Hostess literally didn't say a word to us when we walked in and took us to our table. Vibe just was a little off. Overall, the food was amazing but I think atmosphere-wise there's better places around the city. read more

Surprised by the overall reviews. My coworker and I always have a great time here for lunch and dinner. The staff is kind and attentive when it's not extremely busy, but they do check in which is perfect. The food is always good. I've tried a decent portion of their lunch menu and some dishes on their dinner menu, only disappointing fall menu item was the focaccia (don't get it, very flavorless and dense). The meat is always cooked to perfect, the flavors are well balanced and definitely some of the best food in the areas. Presentation is also a plus, I always appreciate the clean/modern aesthetic The restaurant certainly feels posh if that's the right word. Modern style seating and lighting with a large bar. Because it's connected to the Marriott they seem to get quite a few convention goers/business around the dinner hours. They also stay open LATE which is a blessing considering everything in Lancaster county loves to close at 8pm. Will definitely keep this on our regular go to list. read more

Made reservations here for a Saturday night before catching a show. Being right on the square, it was a great location and walking distance from anything. Very nice atmosphere inside as well. Greeted by the server, he was polite but did have a few odd comments and was not very helpful. In the end he seemed to be okay, but did not match the high end farm to table restaurant. We ordered the house-made focaccia and a brussel sprouts caesar salad to start both unique dishes but were good. Ordering the short rib beef bourguignon dish and a squid ink spaghetti pasta with lobster dish for entrees. Dishes were both very good and would be a reason we return. Pasta had quite the kick, that did make it tough, as it was very good but hard to finish. Overall good experience and excited to try it again! Would recommend the entree dishes! read more

We came here to celebrate my birthday and had such a wonderful time. J was our server and was very kind and celebratory. The ambiance was the perfect spot for a date night or special occasion! It was quiet, moody and romantic. The food was hot, flavorful and everything we were looking for in a good meal. They switch their menu seasonally and it was perfect. We started with the focaccia and warm autumn salad. Both were fantastic. For our meals, we both had pastas. They came out so hot and fresh. We loved them. The short rib pasta was so good, I took my left overs home but shortly ate them once I got there. Make sure to save room for dessert, as their desserts are also great and the ice cream is also made from scratch and so good. Definitely recommend coming out! We would love to come back if we are in the area again. read more

The mushroom pot pie was very salty The mushroom ravioli was a 4 x 4" piece of tough, undercooked pasta with a small pouch-like piece of pasta filled with cheese, placed on top. The mushrooms appeared to be canned and were just splattered over the top. There was no hint of hazelnut or lemon and no spinach anywhere. They decaf Americano looked like tea and tasted terrible. The waitress appeared to also be working the bar and was nowhere to be found in the restaurant All in all a very bad experience. read more

First time dining at Plough our service from L was spectacular, They made great menu suggestions and was very knowledgeable about the menu. Portions are large, we both took half our dinners home. We did enjoy the Brussel sprout appetizer. And the drinks had a fall theme twist which were delightful. We really didn't have room for dessert but couldn't pass up the coffee and donuts and wow chefs kiss! Overall nice dinner would recommend read more

I recently came back to Plough (last review I left was from early May experience). Landed at Plough by chance after striking out with no reservation elsewhere. I was pleasantly surprised by a new summer menu! It was not too busy, lovely for a late dinner, our server was attentive and was able secure me fries despite not being listed on the menu. The crab corn dip was delicious, the fries were like luxury McDonald's (thin and crispy! Lots of seasoning) decided to try the pastas and wow! So much flavor, fettuccine crab dish and the gnocchi pesto dish, scrumptious. Glad I gave this place another shot because it was 10x better than the first. Seeing now they change the menu around I'll be back to see what's new in the fall. read more

We were there for lunch and not very crowded. Seated quickly with menu but had to flag down server to take our drink orders.

With so many other choices in Lancaster, we won't be back read more

I arrived early for a convention center event, so had lunch. I had never dined her previously, although I live in the area. I really enjoyed it. I loved the open kitchen.

Just don't order the peaty blinders drink. It tastes like an ash tray. I'm not kidding. Even my husband who is a smoker couldn't drink it. I, in my 12 years of drinking have never just not drank a drink I paid for.. I will usually push through even if I don't like it. And I never leave reviews because nothing is ever that serious, but I knew I had to save others from the atrocity. You're welcome. read more

My wife and I had dinner here. Wonderful. One of the best meals we've had in a while. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to welcome us.

We'll be back soon and often. read more

This is one of those places I wish I had tried sooner.  Plough is the sister restaurant to the Exchange, which is the rooftop bar also within the Marriott complex.  This is more of a sit-down dinner kind of place.  Our table of four ordered a bunch of items to share: including the House Baked Focaccia, BBQ Grilled Carrots, Creamy Potato and Onion Soup, Roasted Cauliflower, Crispy Rock Shrimp, Spring Bean Salad, and Plough Burger.  I think the bread was my favorite.  Everything else was great, but this focaccia is something else.  The bread itself is great, but the salted lavender coriander butter served on the side is just delicious.  The carrots and cauliflower were close second-favorites for our group.  The burger, featuring wagyu beef, was good but not exceptional.  We all felt the bean salad left something to be desired as it was kind of bland. The service here was terrific.  Sean was personable, attentive, and took great care of our party.  I can't wait to return to try brunch! read more

Went for lunch and hands down the best cheese steak I have ever had. I have tried most of the hype places in Philly but the better places are in west chester IMO. This place takes the prize largely because of the meat and the seasoning. Service was friendly and top notch. I'm an hour away and will be coming back for sure. read more

For starters, either the "Plough" hamburger or crab toast appetizer gave my daughter food poisoning. Not cool. Drinks were fine, and the service was great for it being a crowded Friday evening (with many events taking place in the Marriott). I ordered the Mushroom Raviolo and it was good, but the ravioli needed to be cooked slightly longer. We just could not believe for the price we paid my child got so sick... read more
