The Belvedere Inn

While the grilled romaine is supposedly the claim to fame, it was OK.  Missing some garlic in my opinion.  However, everything else we had was superb. My daughter ordered the mussels, my husband the pork belly and my son (4) the lettuce wraps. We all cleaned each other's plates.  My daughter's filet was perfectly done, my husband's short ribs were succulent and served with some delicious mac and cheese.  I had the pasta with crawfish and it was topped with the most delicious deep-fried okra nuggets.  

The building itself was beautiful inside and out with tons of charm and character.  The service was fabulous and while it could have very easily been just a "date" restaurant, they accommodated us with our two younger kids without missing a beat.  This place will definitely be a "do again" during our annual trip to Lancaster.

Air reeks of old fish. Sticking amaretto in sangria is NOT a "port old fashioned." Weird  crowd, poor service.

I must have missed something.  This place is ok, not great.  This was our 2nd stop of the night.  The first stop of the night was Pour and it was so good that the Belvedere probably didn't have a chance.

We started with the short rib dumplings.  They weren't bad, the sweet spice in the meat is different.  I'm guessing they had some cinnamon, brown sugar, or a combo of both.  They were served in wonton-like wrapper.  Nothing special.

We also had the Duck spring rolls.  Not good.  The sparse amount of duck was bland and flavorless.

My wife had a Grilled Petite Caeser.  It was good.  I had the Large Petite Caesar with Shrimp.  I admit it was good but it was also 21 bucks.  Wow, that is ridiculous.

One note, our server was Scottie and he was solid.
