On Orange

When I moved to Lancaster, On Orange was called Wish You Were Here. "Wish My Food Were Here," my friends quipped. "Wish I Were Elsewhere."

When Melissa Watro took over in 2010 I tried it again—and haven't stopped going back. 

On Orange is the best kind of brunch place:

• Friendly service
• Coffee brought promptly
• Familiar food with a twist

In Central Pennsylvania it is one of the few places you can get a spicy breakfast dish. Two, actually: the Indian omelet and the chilaquiles.

There are sunny seats upstairs, cozy corners downstairs and tables on the back patio in warm weather. 

The hearty whole-grain toast alone is worth the trip.

Some restaurants are all attitude and no good food. Others just give you what you pay for. On Orange impresses with simple quality. It's the perfect start to a Lancaster weekend.
