    My wife and I dinned at 401 Prime on 2/15/2025 for a valentine’s date night. Steven was our server and I must say, the best experience we ever had. This was our first date night since moving to Lancaster from California and Steven made it a night to remember. Ask for Steven!!!

    Everything was expensive, but it was for a special occasion, and I knew that going in. Our server, Robert, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, both in the food and preparation, and for the atmosphere. As expensive as it was for my modest income, I would highly recommend Josephine’s, even if you only go for special occasions! The food, service and experience was definitely worth it!
