About Us

Visit Us!

Enjoy casual dining in a restored warehouse along the Susquehanna River. Our Four Seasons Dining Room, a timbered structure room that is enclosed on three sides with glass, has a breathtaking view of the river at one of its widest points from any seat. The temperature controlled dining room is open year round for lunch, dinner, Saturday breakfast, and Sunday brunch. When the weather suits we always offer outdoor seating options.
Our Seasonal Pizza patio is open from May – September featuring our flavorful woodfired pizzas along with many other delightful favorites. All of our menus include fresh and locally produced foods that vary with the seasons. In the summertime, some are even grown on the premises. Reservations are highly recommended during every season. Unfortunately, due to space we can’t always guarantee a table for all outside reservations during sudden storms.

Our Dedication

At John Wright Restaurant, we always do our best to provide the freshest ingredients possible. We take pride in the quality of our food by purchasing from local farmers. Our personal relationships with our farmers, ensures that our products are never processed or pre-made.
We strive to provide a unique dining experience with exceptional service.
