Per Diem

Pizza, tacos, truffle fries, & yummy cocktails, what more do you need?

One place that has been on my list to check out for dinner for quite some time is Per Diem Lititz. I've been here before for drinks but always wanted to try a meal at this restaurant.

For dinner, we ordered:
-Hot Soppressata Pizza
-Roasted Corn Ravioli
-Barbacoa Tacos
-Truffle Fries
-Grilled Summer Squash
-Fire & Ice dessert
-Tropical Cotton Cheesecake

Per Diem is a neat place if you're looking for a bite to eat & good drinks in the Lititz area! They have a cool vibe with indoor & outdoor dining and sometimes, you can hear musicians practicing in the building next door to the restaurant/ hotel!

My husband and I spent the weekend at Hotel Rock Litiz for a little anniversary getaway. Our first night we made reservations for 5 pm at Per Diem so we could head to a Lancaster ghost tour in time.

We arrived and were immediately brought to our table. We were nervous at first because we could see they have those little trendy metal chairs that are the worst for larger folks, but the server brought us to a small round table with a booth on one side and regular chair on the other without me having to say a word.

We started with cocktails ( an Aperol spritz for me and a riff on the old fashioned for him) and were brought over two slices of focaccia style bread. There was no butter or spread but one bite and you realize it packed so much flavor butter wasn't needed at all.

I went with the coffee bourbon braised short ribs and my husband did the cavatelli Mac and cheese with added short ribs. We also decided to do the truffle fries with bacon jam mayo because we are celebrating and why not.

Everything was delicious but shockingly the fries were my favorite. Don't get me wrong, the short ribs were tender and flavorful, but that bacon jam mayo was sooo good and the fries were perfectly crispy.

Our server informed us we would get dessert on the house for our anniversary so we went with the brown butter pecan pie.
It was more of a pecan tarte with butter pecan ice cream on top, but complimentary dessert is always amazing.

We were impressed for a hotel restaurant to be so good and would highly recommend.

When at Clair for prep or work, you will most likely eat here on several occasions and it does not get old. Well done everyone and look forward to seeing you again on the next tour.

Great food, great service, great cocktails. The space is a bit loud but not overbearing. I wish they had a better wine list. It is a perfect setting to enjoy better quality wine. It is located in the lobby of a hotel.

Pretty good food, great friends, I got the steak frites. A few pieces of steak were pretty tough but the flavor was good. Nice drink menu. People at my table loved the pasta. Cool vibe.

Had a great date night dinner here. Tried the fried Brussels, which were crispy and flavorful. Meatballs good enough to make an Italian grandmother proud. Lobster ravioli was divine. My favorite dish was the steak frittes. The beef was cooked perfectly and the fries cooked in tallow haa a great old-school French fry flavor. Extra credit to the server, who took the Brussels off our bill because we had to wait to be seated. We showed up for our reservation early so technically we were not seated late, but they discounted our meal anyway. That's above and beyond. I'd definitely go back.

I randomly ended up in this neck of the woods. The restaurant is inside the hotel. And food was most amazing. I ordered cauliflower. And boy was it fresh and grilled perfectly. Absolutely loved it.
My partner ordered burger. And he was just raving about its greatness. Absolutely perfect. Meat fresh. Cooked as asked to perfection. Fries were a bit thin and dry. But. However. Who needs fries when your burger is everything. Great place.

We were served quickly, were checked on an appropriate amount, and the atmosphere was 10/10 as was the food. We started with cinnamon bun to share, and got the breakfast pizza, traditional breakfast and eggs Benedict which my husband asked to have customized and they did it no questions asked. We got the full service mimosas with a bottle, and had such a nice time we ordered another and moved out to the lobby which the staff happily encouraged. Every time we eat here we are pleased.

We loved everything we ordered! Not sure what magic they did to the fries and wings. They were delicious but not oily and somehow I feel healthy after eating them. I love the spices they added to the fried Brussels and butternut squash. The servers were really nice and efficient. And the restaurant is located in such a cool place.

A great experience from start to finish- beautiful venue- top notch service and the food is so good- everything our party of 6 ordered was amazing- we can't wait to go back
