The Log Cabin Restaurant

Four of us dined at The Log Cabin last night.  I had not been to this restaurant since it has reopened and was hoping for a wonderful experience .  It was not. I ordered the lamb chops and, although they appeared to be cooked as I wished ,( medium-rare) they were tough, gristly, and fatty. The portion was rather small but I could only manage to eat half of it and brought the rest home to puree for my dog . She wasn't fond of it either. Another companion had crabcakes.He commented that they tasted fine but  the portion was exceedly small compared to crab cakes one may get at other local restaurants, The two ladies with us were satisfied with their entrees. One had the  chicken breast and stated it was good. However, I believe it is exceedly difficult to ruin  chicken breast unless it is overcooked and subsequently dry. The other had pecan crusted grouper which was the daily special. She was pleased with this. I have heard from others that have dined there as recently as three days ago  that one should stay away from any of the meat entrees as whoever is their vendor is passing off inferior quality meats to this establishment .  I wish I had heeded their advice. Service was slow and by the time the waiter returned to our table  and I could express my displeasure with my meal my dining companions were half finished with their meals. He suggested he could bring me a menu and I could order something else, but I declined since by the time a replacement of some sort was served to me  my  companions would  have most assuredly been totally finished with their meals. I appreciate fine dining ,  do it regularly,  and have no qualms about spending $75 to $100 per person to dine.  That being said , with the many far better and more conveniently located restaurants in the greater  Lancaster area,  I  will not frequent The Log Cabin again ; nor would I recommend it to others. I am giving  this 2 stars based solely on the satisfacation of the ladies who dined on chicken and grouper.

By far, one the of the best restaurants in Lancaster County. A little out of the way, but so worth it.  The decor, as you guessed it, is that of log cabin home.  A very large home with an amazing patio to dine on.  They have great rooms that seat 8-12 comfortably to afford you a little privacy.

The food is amazing, and although the service is a little slow, it makes you pause, reflect, and engage the company you keep.  Great location for a romantic dinner for two!

The place is very quiet and exclusive in some sense. We were the only customers. Food was good. And as already known by yelp $$$ ratings, the place is expensive.
