- always goodkaterinaDined on 11/13/2014Service, food, drink, always good here. The quality is always on point with interesting combinations of ingredients, seasonal variety.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Usually excellentProfOJGDined on 11/8/2014But Saturday night was an off-night for the kitchen. We have always enjoyed going to the Gibraltar, our favorite place in Lancaster. But Saturday night the scallops were undercooked maybe by a minute or two, and some were quite bitter inside. We explained this to the manager, and I think he would have offered us a substitute dish. ... The problem with the restaurant Saturday night is that service begins very nicely, but as the restaurant fills to capacity, service becomes very slow.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Best inland seafoodravmichDined on 9/27/2014Great restaurant with wonderful seafood and service.Special Features:
- Very good...butdgatesDined on 9/25/2014Everything was first rate...except for one blip. My wife ordered crabcakes. The plate had two of them, one had a pretty dark sear on the top side, darker than the other one. Obviously one cake had cooked too long. She asked that it go back to the kitchen. They removed the plate nicely, but when it came back it looked an awfully lot like the same crabcake...still very dark on top. We chose to not ruin our evening by fighting with the kitchen. Did not expect such a snit from the chef in a restaurant like this.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- bjmrVIPDined on 9/23/2014Really great food. Enjoyed dinner, Service was very goodSpecial Features:
- Menuluv2dineDined on 9/20/2014I ordered crab cakes which were great and in and of themselves constituted a full meal (there were two) without the need for an appetizer or dessert. Big news is this restaurant is re-locating at the beginning of 2015.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our Favorite PlaceNiteOutDined on 9/19/2014Everything from the ease of reservation on Open Table to the dessert was perfect. We enjoyed a lovely table for 2 and our server was very attentive. The oysters were amazing and our entrees (scallops for me and the fish soup for my husband) were generously portioned.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food but no nice ambianceIrinaDined on 9/5/2014Food is great, service OK, but for the price that we pay I expect a nice ambiance... It does not feel romantic or expensive... Instead, decor is outdated, dead flowers in pots, dirty ceiling, feeling of a cafeteria in a cheaper hotel... Also, the choice of music is not the greatest, and you can barely hear it... Would be nice to listen to a light jazz... And, they do not serve lunches anymore...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Price/Value highRixreviewsDined on 8/29/2014The service was fantastic and the food was excellent! The prices though were high though for the food/experience.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/29/2014They have created a very attractive decor within a commercial building. Spacious and airy. Seating is nicely spaced, avoiding congestion. The menu featured many tempting seafood selections. My wife's scallops entre was perfectly cooked, seared just to doneness. My sea bass filet was tender and delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Steady as a RockBurtDined on 8/29/2014We look forward to our dinner at Gibraltar as a highlight of visiting Long's Park Craft Show in Lancaster. With the weather being perfect, we dined outside. The specials for the evening being fig and prosciutto as appetizers and wonderful striped bass for dinner, there was no need for menus. After extended cocktails, we enjoyed a spectacular dinner and outstanding service from our server, Majid. We have been coming here for many years and never been disappointed. With plenty of free, easy parking, a beautiful dining room with caring waitstaff, a great night out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fantastic!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/26/2014Fantastic! Head Chef Carl accommodated a special request for a menu item that used to be featured on the Gibraltar regular menu: Lamb Chops. They were done to perfection and really elevated the evening for my mother-in-law's birthday celebration. Thanks again!Special Features:
- Worth trying!AnastasiaVIPDined on 7/19/2014The menu isn't special. If you're looking to try something exotic, try elsewhere. If you're looking for standard favorites, with a few unexpected items, the menu is great. Food was fresh and delicious and the service was outstanding. Each course was served with impeccable timing, not rushed and no naps in between. Kelly was friendly and attentive but not hovering. I didn't like the tile flooring - looked like Denny's, but the overall ambiance and atmosphere was chic and pleasant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Seafood in PA Dutch CountryDSP1Dined on 7/19/2014The ambience was quiet and subdued casual elegance and the staff was knowledgeable and attentive, but not obtrusive. The menu was primarily seafood and the food was excellent and presented very well. There were not any negative issues at all during our dinner. The cost for two will be about $100 including appetizers, entrees, dessert and a couple of drinks (much wine will increase the cost greatly depending on the choice). I heartily recommend Gibraltar for anyone who wants an elegant seafood dining experience in "meat and potato country" Lancaster County.Special Features:
- Another Great DinnerCurleyGrey1Dined on 7/12/2014The new summer menu is in place. There are the all-time favorites and the new ones to make your choice a challenge. We can't recommend this restaurant too much!! It is a very congenial opportunity to enjoy GREAT food. CurlyGrey1Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Experienceready2eatDined on 7/10/2014We went here for our anniversary and were treated exceptionally well. The service and food was beyond our expectations. We were surprised by an extra starter on the house and our desert plates were decorated for our special day. Overall one of the best dining experiences we have had in a whileSpecial Features:
- Monday night delightFoodlover66Dined on 7/7/2014We had not eaten here before, and chose it from Open Table. It was difficult to find a restaurant open on monday evening in Lancaster, but this one was, and what a great find! The menu was excellent, and was predominately seafood. We had a wonderful wait person, Virginia, who was peppy, personable, and provided excellent service without hovering. We had mussels as an appetizer, and as Virginia promised, the broth was delicious. Then as entrees we had scallops and crab cakes. Everything was delicious. We chose to eat inside, but the outside patio looked lovely and was probably delightful.Special Features:
- ImprovedBmanDined on 7/5/2014Me & my wife had dinner at Gibraltar on July 5. The service was good and the food great. I sat in the exact booth as last year and I noted the booths had been redone. Our food was excellently prepared. I hope they expand their menu selections to offer more great tasting meals. I would encourage anyone to have a dining experience here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- truly amazing experience!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/1/2014We celebrated our proposal by going here afterwards. We were treasured wonderfully and the food was out of this world. We will definitely be going back for more! If you are looking for an escape to luxury and perfection, try Gibraltar, you won't be disappointed. I am ecstatic knowing we have made this our special place to go.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great veggie plateGAR777Dined on 6/28/2014I asked for a plate of mixed vegetables (not on the menu) and the waiter said no problem and brought a wonderfully tasty plate. It was so go, I almost ordered a second one! Thanks Gibraltar!Special Features:
- Always OutstandingSatisfied2VIPDined on 6/27/2014When ever there is a need for excellent dining, we always pick Gibraltar, and are NEVER disappointed. The food, the service, and the ambiance are always the absolute best.Special Features:
- One of my favorite placesIrinaDined on 6/25/2014This is one of my favorite restaurants, but I decided to try something different- and I did not like their arugula salad- was too much dressing on it, and it was soggy... The crab cakes and my hudband's filet mignon were pretty good though! Also, the dessert of chocolate and peanut butter cake was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always excellentReginaVIPDined on 6/24/2014I have been coming to this restaurant for 15 years and have not had a bad meal yet. Their food is consistently good. I highly recommend for anyone who loves seafood. The restaurant specializes in seafood, but always have dishes for carnivores and vegetarians alike.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best in area!!BritonVIPDined on 6/21/2014An all-around superlative dining experience. Perfectly-marinated fluke ceviche with a fine dice of bright-flavored salsa followed by nicely-textured gazpacho with a hint of heat leading to perfectly-cooked, creatively-crafted entries of salmon and snapper (w/wondrous sauce), artistically plated and served with cordially-knowledgeable old-world charm.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Two adult males and a female at this pond today.
I can't tell if these are perhaps Female Redheads or some different type of duck?
My first ever observation of a Redhead. I will need help with these other ones, I can't tell if they're Redheads or not.
This bug just happened to land on my hand. Unusual because they are difficult to catch.
Loud. Very colorful. Did I mention LOUD!
This was my Mother's Rhubarb plant from up North Pa, Pittston.
Relocated to my house years ago, when she came to live with us. My Mom passed away this year, and not only did it bloom for the very first time, so did the our Hydrangea. Thanks Mom!
Am I the only one who has been petting these critters since I was a kid? Their fuzziness is just inviting a petting!
Large spider about 1" scrunched up after I screamed! Probably 2 1/2" outstretched. 3 foot web, on my deck chair, first day I shooed it away and it climbed up the house. Next day went to sit on my chair and it had made a web right where I was gonna sit! He was relocated to the side of the house!
Beautiful Hawk, sitting on my fence. Lancaster Pa
At a local park, 30 white and a few mixed color pigeons. Tired and worn, seemed tame. Called Lancaster Bird Club, confirmed they were racing pigeons. No tags on legs. Published the info in the local paper, but no one ever claimed them. They never left, but their numbers dwindled.
Found crawling in the house.
Found crawling in the house.
Several northern brown snakes were found under stones and brush in an urban city yard.
My first Green Heron of the year. This was the only one in the park this day.
I'm sure these are just hybrid mallard ducks but it was odd that they were both so obviously brown colored. These were the only two ducks like this in the entire park. I'm guessing they were just captive bred and left here.
Had a nest of babies but the nest was too obscured by foliage to photograph. What was interesting was that it was on this little island that you can walk onto in the middle of this pond which is heavily visited by people. The bird was very un-afraid of people and allowed me to get very close to get a photo.
Not sure of the exact species. Was in this city pond though with many others.
Saw three Juvenile Bald Eagles passing overhead flying downriver within minutes of each other. Each photo is a separate juvenile. I was so upset yesterday because when we were there fishing we saw a juvenile catch a fish right in front of us after making a couple passes. Worst time to leave my camera in the car!
There were a pair of these two birds, I'm assuming hawks? They were so far up and away from me I tried my best to zoom in and get as good as a photo as I could. I enhanced the image so that you could maybe see some markings on their undersides.

Amnesty days?
Lydia Kaufman of 308 Pleasant St. came to the board about possibly having two amnesty days a year to get rid of any garbage or debris usually not allowed to be thrown out in the village. The board agreed to look into having a day in the spring and a day in the fall for clean-up dates. Kaufman also said, that even though it seemed frivolous, she wondered if taxes could be paid by credit card. Treasurer/Clerk Bryan Gazda said this option was something he was currently looking into and that surcharges would somehow need to be charged back to the residents that would use a credit card, but it was an option worth having.
Taxes was also an issue causing confusion due to the tax rate decreasing, but the taxes actually being paid, increased. Trustee Natalie Minor said she was experienced the same thing and it relates to house assessments and the tax year. A house's assessed value is shown on the next year's taxes, meaning this year's taxes are based on last year's assessments. This lead to confusion with resident Walt Stroud because even with the decrease in the tax rate, his property value increased last year and he saw an 11.9 percent increase in his taxes this year.
July 4 awards
The awards for the Fourth of July parade were announced at the village of Manlius board meeting June 10. The Distinguished Citizen Award is going to the Manlius Fire Department. Berkley Associates will receive the Swan Award, which is given to a local business that has made a positive contribution over the past year. The Special Recognition Award is going to Anne Menter and the Service Recognition Award is going to village planning board member Helen Chamberlain.
Menter and Chamberlain were both on the Vision Manlius Steering Committee, which put together the Comprehensive Plan for the village. Recreation Director Jim Raulli said that right now, a Grand Marshall for the parade has yet to be decided.
There is a missing fire hydrant on Northfield Lane leaving about 800 feet of area without coverage. The board can have OCWA install the hydrant at a varied rate over 30 years, with this year's payment at $192.27.
The Manlius Village Board will next meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday June 24 at the Manlius Village Center.

November 26, 2014
Posted Monday, June 4, 2012 --- 5:25 p.m.
PORTAGE, Wis. (AP) -- Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett says he thinks the recall race against Republican Gov. Scott Walker is now a dead heat heading into Tuesday's election.
An exuberant Barrett spoke to about 100 of his volunteers in Portage in one of several stops he made on the final day of campaigning before the recall vote.
Barrett says the recall effort started as a grass roots movement and it's going to end that way with turnout of his supporters being the key factor that he believes will lead him to victory.
Barrett says the election is about the middle class reclaiming the future of Wisconsin.
Polls show a tight race. Walker said during a tour of a plastics plant in Fitchburg Monday morning that he also expected the outcome to be close.
