Reviews for Altana Rooftop Lounge in Lancaster, PA
I love the rooftop lounge! 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 rollwas. I went again yesterday for my birthday. Although it was cool and a bit windy, I really wanted to eat on the rooftop andwatch the sunset. We were the only ones up there, and it was perfect. The sunset was gorgeous and it was worth being a littlecool. We started with the charcuterie board which was just the right size for the tow of us. Lovely selection of meats,cheeses and fresh fruit. I had one of the signature cocktails, the bourbon bramble. It was so good. For dinner, I had the porktenderloin, which was served on a bed of kale with baby Brussels sprouts, butternut squash and bacon. It was amazing! The porkwas so tender that you could cut it with a butter knife. The veggies were cooked perfectly and were very flavorful. My husbandhad the crab stuffed Cod which had a cream based sauce, and he said it was excellent. I also want to compliment our wait staff. Even though we were the only diners on the rooftop, the service was excellent. Josh, our waiter was covering a lot of groundbut we never felt ignored. I know it must have been extra work with just us up there, but everyone was wonderful. I did seethe indoor dining room and it is lovely - very warm and inviting. I know I will be going back soon to eat indoors, and to havethe crab stuffed Cod and another of Altana's signature cocktails. Read more
Simple menu - which is always a good sign, yet the food is just OK. Not bad, but not outstanding. They added some sugary syrup... on the sweet potato fries, which was a bit of a shock (kids might have enjoyed it), the medium rare burger was more like welldone, but at least the beer was good and icy cold. The rooftop should have a great view, but if you don't sit at the streetfront, you have to go awkwardly close to the other's table to enjoy it. Read more
This was the worst dine in experience we have had. My wife and I went for dinner. The service was the worst you can imagine. We... were seated timely for our 7 PM reservation. We finished our apps 7.45 and placed order for entrées. The server kept coming totell us that the kitchen is backed up and we are up next. Finally, at 9.30 PM the manager came and said, our order never went tothe kitchen. This is when the server told us the opposite and said there are 5 people waiting before us for the cod. She thensaid, she will have it to go. Came back at 9.45PM, 15 minutes before closing that they are out of Cod. By this time we were theonly people in the restaurant and had eaten only appetizers 2 hours ago. The manager packed us Lobster roll, flat bread and afrozen cheese cake to go!!! Great way to celebrate birthday!! Not coming back and would not recommend! Read more

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 soodelicious. 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???? Read more
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 tohave a few salami garnishes. IBERICO PORK TENDERLOIN's meat is tender? and their sauces are very different. Even the saladdressing I can't stop, really delicious. The waiters Dylan and Mariah were very friendly and attentive. We will be back. Read more
