10Best Says

Noted for its terrific service and great bar, Bistro Lancaster is a tried-and-true favorite. Its New American fare is reason in itself to show up, and the menu invites you to whet your palate with poached mussels or wild mushroom risotto. From there, it's hard to choose among dishes like Madras curried duck, seared blue crab cakes, and slow-braised osso buco. Nevertheless, anything you choose, and any time you opt to stop in for a meal, you're certain to be pleased.
