John J. Jeffries, the exquisite restaurant on site at LancasterArts Hotel,is named after a tobacco inspector from the late 19th century. The restaurant’s name was chosen after an intriguing discovery when the building was being renovated – a ticket from 1890 bearing Jeffries’name was found on the property.
Diners will enjoy only the freshest food served at the restaurant,where Chef Cavanaugh believes in support- ing local farms and using organic ingredients. Cavanaugh works with farmers within a 25-mile radius of the hotel. Locally made cheeses and locally raised buffalo are some of the menu’s unique samplings. The bar and wine menus feature many local beers, wines and ingredients that make original and memorable cocktails.
