A very relaxing corner in lancaster offering a creative and fun experience. Brings together a lot of unique people that are open minded and artistic and not afraid to express themselves. It's a very refreshing environment. Everyone was very friendly including the other patrons. The food was absolutely excellent. The service was wonderful. The salted beets are a MUST try!!

I stop in about once a week for the great drinks and to see what they're offering on their special menu. Had the Beef Wellington last night: really amazing.

Stopped in for dinner on a whim- most pleasant surprise & find in the whole city. This place truly is a gem- my mother and I both had the burger. It was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. The fries were crisp to perfection. The standout is the SERVICE. We were gladly served by Shannon, who was astounding and the most friendly & accommodating server i’ve ever had in the entire city. It was my mother’s birthday dinner, and she talked about it the whole way home!! The decor & atmosphere is well curated & comforting. Extremely laid back vibe. While we didn’t get to enjoy the theatre, we will return to do so in the coming weeks We will be dining here regularly without a DOUBT!!

We had brunch before the matinee play, “Beautiful, at the Fulton Theatre. Zoetropolis is a “Three in ONE,” Restaurant, Distillery and Cinema for viewing independent, documentary and foreign films. At Noon on Sunday, the restaurant was reasonably busy and it provided both outside and inside seating. You could scan the bar code displayed at the table, to read the Menu online, on your phone , no paper menu, but available on request. My friend had Eggs Benedict and I had a PA Dutch specialty, Chicken and Cornbread waffle. Both excellent! Service was good and non intrusive. Definitely recommend!

Great place for a late evening beer. They have a short but varied draught list. Atmosphere is nice. We sat at a table outside next to the flag-waving Jesus on a Friday night. There was a three-piece outside playing some fun tunes, and our waitperson was cool, funny, and accommodating.

We took the whole family to Zoetropolis Cinema Stillhouse for Mother's Day, and the food was excellent, as always. They serve the best Brussels sprouts I've ever had, their pizza is fantastic, and the cocktails are delicious. The service was outstanding! We will definitely be back soon!

What a gem! This cute spot that was kind of tucked away but also in plain site was everything I thought it would be! I went for Sunday brunch. My group got a variety of items but I personally got an orange crush and the omelette with a side of gravy and a Biscuit! The orange crush was fresh and delicious! The omelets was fluffy and the ingredients tasted super fresh. The gravy was the star!! Rich and flavorful with a slight kick. Paired perfectly with the Biscuit however, I had to split my Biscuit between that and the delicious fruit spread and butter that came with it! My friends got the chicken and waffle, the burrito, the eggs Benedict, and the biscuits and gravy. I'm not kidding when I say that everyone raved about their food!! 10/10 recommend!

This place is great, came with my wife J our 2nd time back. We were here last week and brought 2 additional guests this week. Good food, good cocktails, good service, and good atmosphere. *Please try to have the crab dip, we ordered it and unfortunately it was sold out.
