The Third Place

Took a friend to lunch. Absolutely perfect. I love the concept behind The Third Place name. 'A "third place" refers to a social space outside of the two primary places in a person's life: "first place" (home) and "second place" (work), essentially acting as a neutral ground for social interaction and community building; the term was coined by sociologist Ray Oldenburg in his book "The Great Good Place".'Classy, elegant vibe. We had the squash ravioli (can you say "comfort food"?) and the Brie burger with a side salad. Hearty burger, cooked to perfection. The champagne vinaigrette is fantastic. I'd planned to have pumpkin spice flan but didn't save enough room. Maybe next time.

The food itself tastes pretty good, the theme and the vibes are cosy. My fiancé got a burger and he thought it was decent, I got the crispy chicken sandwich and thought it was decent as well. I just thought it was kind of mid, I wanna give a higher rating but this was our experience. The service was great though! We loved our waiters :) Don't think I'd go again but I do think if you're looking for something that has more of a cute-find-soft-DTLA kind of vibe in *Lancaster* of all places, this is the place to go. Make sure to make a reservation though. We didn't and sat at the bar, wasn't bad!

Unfortunately my meal was given to another. Then when everyone finished their food, mine came out. No comp on food, they took the food away and wouldn't comp the pictured drink when my experience out of a family dinner was non existent.... Been here before. Came with family for the 1st time ... Truly disappointed....

First time here, cool spot food was pretty good, service was good she was on top of it making sure we were good and she had a few tables they were busy. Atmosphere was cool, I'll go again.

Another great meal! Had the rib eye sandwich last month and it was really good. Went back last night and the menu changed, got the Steak Bahn Mi and it was just as good...I tend to worry about ordering steak sandwiches because either the steak is tuff or not enough of it, definitely not the case here. Always great food, service and old fashioneds. Need to make reservations or take a seat at the bar, great service!

I really enjoy my visits here. Food, service, and ambiance always make for a nice meal.Tonight's music was really cool too. 90's - 2,000's emo screamo vibe.

Really nice concept, good vibe and great service, but the food was not up to the value, for the price I was expecting better flavors.

Fantastic food and good service. Enjoyed the cocktails we tried. The risotto doesn't miss!

The Third Place in Lancaster is truly a hidden gem! The ambiance is so unexpected. It kind of feels like you've left the AV (I love the AV, I do not slander my hometown) Their mushroom risotto is pure perfection--creamy, rich, and packed with flavor. And the miso salmon? Absolutely divine, with its tender, flaky texture and perfectly balanced glaze. In my personal experience what really sets this place apart is my Mocktail experience. I love asking the bartenders to surprise me with a mocktail of their choice, and they never miss! Every mocktail has been creative, expertly crafted, and always on point. The atmosphere is cozy yet modern, making it the perfect spot for a date night or just unwinding with incredible food and drinks. I can't recommend this place enough!

Great food, great service, amazing ambiance. The food was really good, the servers and mixologist was on point, and the ambiance was cozy, and the place was spotless. You'd think they opened up three months ago. I always check the bad reviews. One person said there was only one piece of Brie on the Brie burger. There were two thick slices that covered the entire burger. Someone complained there were only six potato wedges with their burger. Mine came with 13. Someone complained they waited a long time for service and food. Not us. The servers were on point and attentive, and the food was delivered in a timely manner. We are definitely coming back for more food, drinks and great times
