Our first visit to Altana unfolded like a well-kept secret—Lancaster at its most graceful. The rooftop offered not just a view, but a vantage: golden light washing over quiet streets, the hum of early evening, and cocktails crafted with quiet confidence.

Rarely does a dining experience exceed my expectations. Dinner for 2, rooftop. Crab stuffed cod and chicken piccata. Both dishes amazing. Every entree that was brought out by the servers looked unbelievable. Portion size extremely generous, a fantastic evening. Will definitely be back.

The atmosphere grabs you the second you get there. The service was outstanding. We had the flatbread, crab stuffed shrimp, and Altana burger. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back.

Loved the host that set us, loved our waitress and loved loved loved our food! The salad was perfection and the French onion soup was so delicious. It was very different than any other type of french onion soup that I had ever had but I really appreciated their version of it. Cheesecake was just so so but the presentation was beautiful! This is a do not miss restaurant when you are in Lancaster! Call ahead though for reservations.

My first time here & had a great experience. Rooftop bar is gorgeous. Wasn't able to eat up there as it started raining but they quickly took our food at the indoor dining area. I had the market cut & apparently its a New Zealand lamb & it was soo delicious. The wine was amazing too! Overall will definitely come back again! PS please make the rooftop chairs bit more comfy. That is my only tiny complaint😅

We love trying new flavors and different styles of restaurants. Was not disappointed, it was amazing, This restaurant is hidden on the third floor of a downtown building. CHILEAN SEABASS Delicious fish and lobster sauce, lots of fresh veggies and seems to have a few salami garnishes. IBERICO PORK TENDERLOIN's meat is tender, and their sauces are very different. Even the salad dressing I can't stop, really delicious. The waiters Dylan and Mariah were very friendly and attentive. We will be back.

I first went there in 2021 with a friend for dinner. We both had the lobster roll and it was delicious! I'm from New England and am a bit finicky about my seafood, and was happily surprised at how good the lobster roll was.

We have visited Altana on many occasions and the food and drink are always absolutely delicious. We have never been disappointed. Also, the host, especially on our most recent visits has been such a gentleman and it shows he truly cares about his job. The only complaint I have is that they pretty consistently start trying to get you to leave around an hour before close. We like a late dinner, around 8pm (this week we were trying to catch the 8:15 sunset) and pretty much every time, we’ve been warned about an hour before close (9pm) that they are “about to close.” We never intend to stay past close but we do like to enjoy a drink and a chat after dinner. I totally respect the staff and would always leave well before close. They are not super pushy but the warning makes you feel like you need to down your drink and run. If you eat earlier, I’m sure you will have no issues whatsoever. Excellent food and customer service on the front end. Bartenders make the most perfect drinks.
