The Log Cabin Restaurant, Leola PA

Recently we had the pleasure of dining at the historic "Log Cabin," just north of Lancaster, PA and south of Reading, PA
The site was once occupied by the Nanticoke Indians, and built in the early 1800's.
The new owners are Executive Chef, David Eshleman and his wife, Linda Eshleman, and Kirk and Pam Liddell.
Nestled in the woods, you have to go over one of the few operative, one lane, covered wooden bridges.  Just driving there, sets the stage for dining in the cabin in the woods.
The cuisine is basically American, with impeccable preparations and attention to presentation.
I absolutely loved the Calamari appetizer (calamari sauteed with smoked bacon, garlic, white wine and herbs) - simply lush!!!
Since I've been there twice, I had the pleasure of enjoying the Rainbow Trout, with fingerling potatoes and lemon-parsley browned butter.  Simple, but delicious!!
From the grill, the Filet Mignon with a red wine-demi-glace just melted in my mouth.  Outstanding!!
The service was very personable, with the wait staff having a knowledge of the menu selections.
The wine list was average, and fairly priced.
The menu changes seasonally, and we look forward to dining there again soon.
Congratulations to the new owners!!
