This restaurant is located inside the Inn at Chester Springs. First off it's a restaurant within a hotel/motel, which already puts it at a serious disadvantage. It's tough for these types of restaurants to really stand out and distinguish themselves. They have to pretty much be doing everything right. The place is fairly cozy - read small. In fact the bar of the same namesake right next door is actually twice as large as the restaurant. The place is done up to be slightly upscale in terms of decorations and table settings. As for the food, we were there on a Friday night and it turns out they have a buffet on Fridays. It smelled good and the price was right so we opted for it. For starters they had mixed greens salad which was fresh and delicious, a mozzarella salad, breads and chilled shrimp. The chilled shrimp where the medium-small size and they had a really off/chlorine taste to them. Fortunately I only took a few of the shrimp. For entrees they had a cook to order station with choice of pasta, toppings and sauces. They also had a chicken dish, tilapia in a butter cream sauce and prime rib. The sides were mashed potatoes, squash and a few other typical sides. The pasta was so-so. The chicken was the same. The big stars of the night were the tilapia, the prime rib and the mashed potatoes as all were delicious. My wife even commented that the tilapia and the mashed potatoes were amazing. The desserts were in a word, horrible. It was painfully obvious from just looking at them that they were the mass manufactured type (you know, the kind that taste like Little Debbie) and not at all fresh. We sampled a few between my wife and I but were disappointed by it all. The service was half decent and friendly, though not exceptional. Our server was MIA at various times which for how small the dining area is and how empty it was when we were there is a bit ridiculous. Another strike was that the first wine glass I was given had obvious lip marks on it. YUCK! This is a fairly benign place that I think wishes it was more than it is but just doesn't have the tools to quite get there. I would really be curious as to what items from their regular menu taste like but I doubt we'll bother going back just to see. read more

I go for the bands, but the bar pretty much is below average. Music can be great- don't expect much else

As a guest at The Inn at Chester Springs I ate at Arthur's several times. While there is little memorable about the decor, the staff makes Arthur's human, warm and likeable. Their food is strictly "alright," with no surprises and nothing to recommend. My stays were with a group of European business colleagues for whom end-of-work-day was synonymous with start-of-drinking-night; the bar was strained to keep up with them. read more

Hotel is now a Wyndham Garden and restaurant has been upgraded. I ate twice at the Friday and Saturday buffet and selected the Friday buffet as the setting for an impromptu wedding reception for 26 adults. This took up over half of the restaurant. The staff was very accomodating. Some creative elements included the inhouse made dessert shooters, which were cakes and pies in shot glasses. These were very popular with guests. Dessert items made inhouse were better than the ones that were outsourced, The prime rib at the buffet was excellent and the chef was willing to use the skillet at the pasta station to cook mine to medium well. Staff went out of their way to accommodate our wedding party and the guests had only nice things to say. The faux library setting gave a nice intimate feel, better than a banquet room. The two love seats that the restaurant has replaced some chairs and one of them was used by the wedding couple. It is a small restaurant and the buffet was not crowded on the days that I visited. read more

The waitstaff was so accommodating and very attentive. The salad bar was fresh and the peel and eat shrimp were very good. The cocktail sauce seemed homemade because it was a little spicier and very good. The prime rib and made to order pasta were both excellent. The pre-made items in the steamer trays were the only downfall. Typical buffet type fare, not bad just nothing special. They serve Starbucks coffee and the desserts were also nothing special, but fine. The wine list was pretty good for a hotel and the craft beer selection was very good, too. Overall, we had a very pleasant evening and with a restaurant.com gift certificate, the price was right. read more

I actually found out about this restaurant randomly through restaurant.com. I figured $2 for a $25 gift certificate could compel me to try something new. Walking in, you will immediately see the entire restaurant consists of 13 tables... that's all. It also has the feel of a study with couches in lieu of chairs at some tables. My girlfriend and I were fairly apprehensive at sitting down. The table was covered in fancy looking table cloths, towels, and silver serving platters. We happened to go on a Saturday night and were greeted by a chef standing behind a buffet line. She was rather pleasant as she cooked fresh pasta to order as well as cut prime rib. Our waiter was extremely attentive. I rarely saw him but as soon as I put my fork down, there he was to bus my plate. The food, even for a buffet, was rather good. They had prime rib, chicken marsala, pasta cooked to order, parmesan salmon, mixed vegetables, baked potatoes, salads, soup, and shrimp. All that I tried was good and well worth the $21.95 price tag. Off the menu I ordered Crab and Corn soup (although I think it was a chowder) which was amazing. Overall I would suggest it for anyone who is looking for something new. The actual menu is a bit pricey but if the food on the buffet is any indication, it is worth the cost. read more

We have gone there a lot for their buffet. The steaks are very tasty. The all you can eat Schrimp are on the small side but still good. The deserts are plentiful and fresh. A really secret gem. Very under rated. read more

This is a small open dining room. The wait staff is very polite and proficient. The server on the buffet is friendly and very helpful for first time visitor. The buffet included Prime Rib, a very good Flounder and a chicken dish, plus bread, soup and salad bar on Saturday. There is also a dessert and coffee service. The selection as you can see is not large but the quality was very good and quantity is what ever you want it to be. This coupled with the service and the quiet environment (you can actually have a conversation) made it a good choice for our date night before heading to People's Light and Theatre. read more
