About the restaurant

Fresh food & fresh vision come together at Cork & Cap Restaurant. Our guiding tenet is simple yet uncompromising: use local ingredients and made-from-scratch, no-nonsense recipes. Our dishes pay homage to the rural heritage of Lancaster County, all with an extra pinch of creative license. Think Pennsylvania Dutch comfort food with a contemporary, cosmopolitan twist. Dine in plush leather banquettes alongside restored brick and stone walls, lounge in the Cork & Cap’s rustic bar area, or enjoy seasonal outdoor dining on our patio around Urban Place’s signature smokestack.

This is our second time eating here and I’m so glad we came back. Once again, everything was incredible. Cork & Cap has solidified itself as one of my Lancaster “must go’s” any time I’m in the area. If you’re going to be in Lancaster, make it a point to eat here.

About the restaurant

The Story of Josephine’s
The story of Josephine’s begins during our executive chef Daniel LeBoon’s childhood. At eight years old, working for his father’s catering company, Daniel discovered a passion for food. This love — and undeniable talent — saw him intern at Philadelphia’s prestigious Le Bec-Fin. He went on to work in Paris at the venerable Hotel Vernet working under the renowned chef’s Alain Solvere and Alain Ducasse. In 2004, Daniel purchased Josephine’s in Marietta and developed an extremely loyal following based on the combination of great food, great atmosphere and great hospitality. Although Josephine’s closed in 2011, the name and the experiences are fondly remembered by countless people.

Another enjoyable dinner. I had the scallops and my wife had the chicken. Everything was paired tastefully. We also order a side of broccoli in cheese sauce which went well with both our dinners. Service was very good and while we would say the noise level was moderate we were able to have good conversation which is always a plus to us.
