    Chicken and filet tips
    Jennifer D.

    Love this place! Our server, Rayna, was the best! She really went above and beyond. We didn't order dessert but she knew it was my friend's birthday and lit a candle for her to blow out. So sweet! Also, the hostess was so sweet and the bartender makes great drinks! Apps- roasted long hots were sooooo tasty and the margarita pizza, I couldn't stop eating. Entrees- cutlet lemon and crab. Delish and a crispy cutlet. I want to get chicken parm next time. My friend got the chicken and filet tips which she loved. Steak was cooked a little over the medium temp she wanted but she didn't mind. Will def be back!!

    happy hour menu

    Another happy hour trip here and i have to say the HR apps and cocktails are well above average. I suspect we're not the only ones that feel this was as the bar was packed at 4pm on a Friday and thinned out only as it came to a close around 6pm. Everything we tried on the menu was good. it made for a truly "happy" two hours lol.

    burger
    Julie Anna E.

    It was pretty good! I liked the bar experience. We went here in the evening and the drinks were really great. Kyle was a really good bartender and took care of us. We came back the next morning for brunch with my family because we had such a good experience at the bar. It was pretty good overall. We wished they had more breakfast options as the brunch menu was limited & a ton of lunch/dinner food like heavy pastas, chicken parm, etc. My mom's eggs benedict was cold so I felt bad about that. My food was also cold. I had steak & eggs and aside from the temp, the food was good. My dad loved his french toast, my fiancé really enjoyed his burger (he added an egg on it to make it a brunch burger) and my sister and her husband enjoyed their pasta & chicken parm. I would return here to try their dinner and appetizers since I stuck with breakfast food

    Hugo drink

    Always a great time here at the bar, great happy hour specials, food and drink. The bartenders are nice and the bar is always quite lively. I also enjoy the parties the bar throws. Last night Santa was there and it was an amazing experience with Xmas music and pics with Santa. Highly recommend.

    Chicken Milanese, Judy Foodie Pasta Dinner, and a special that night Filet Tips and Shrimp.

    Excellent customer service. Every dish was more delicious than the next. Cant wait to go back!

    Cannot beat the bar. The staff is always on it and the vibes are unmatched. Order the Hugo Spritz!

    Mimosa Board
    Eva B.

    I haven't been to Bar Avon in a couple of years and I had never been for brunch, I was totally missing out. The staff was so friendly and attentive, the space was so much larger than I originally thought it was so there are plenty of tables. A friend and I went for their Sunday Brunch and we each ordered a Mimosa Board! The absolute cutest idea for brunch and I've never seen it anywhere else. It would be great to share if you are planning to get other food or perfect to enjoy yourself if you are having that as your meal (which you totally can). It is such a good deal, for less than $30 you get two mimosas and a huge board of delicious food (French toast, beignets, cheese, parfaits, fruit- it also came with some salami/meat, which I do not eat so I gave that to my friend). It was a genuinely fun meal and I cannot wait to go back again!

Excitedly anticipated reservations at West Chester Seafood Kitchen and our stay out stood the expectations. Oh what fun it is to brunch!!! We arrived with 10:30am reservations, arrived and were promptly seated in the middle of the dining room. This place has so much space! The tables are proportioned about well and love the long bench seating opposed from the kitchen window. Decor is tidy and of modern aesthetic ocean vibes. Everything complemented, including the floor pattern - which I obsessed over, lol. Absolutely adored the built in and all the nautical knick knacks. Our waitress was a doll. Charming, attentive and spoke with great eye contact. We decided on eats and a mid morning cocktail. I had the standard espresso martini and my husband tried one of peanut butter variety. Both deep in espresso flavor and not too sweet. Oysters to start. A half dozen of 3 varieties. So wonderful to be able to select a few kinds to sample. We enjoyed them all. Very clean and super fresh. My husband loves horseradish, so it was so nice they offered their standard cocktail sauce with extra. The mini Tabasco sauce we had to take home as memento. Brunch entrees- my husband went part poultry and I kept true to seafood. He had first the Clam Chowder. Lumps of clam and a mid-cream broth. Nice balance of stock and cream. Potatoes did not overtake. This was light but hearty. He dove into those Chicken and Waffles with delight. A savory waffle - how can you not love. And the honey jalapeño butter, I found as much as I could to dip into. Chicken was most and crisp. Hitting all the texture and flavors- sweet, spicy, crunchy with this dish. Delicious. Now my Lobster Roll- LOBSTER!!!! This was incredible. I ate the whole damn thing. The roll was toasty and buttery. The lobster was juicy and plentiful, it was allowed to stand on its own. Didn't push up on too much mayo, or celery, or tarragon. Let the seafood shine - and it did!! The fries were hand cut, and freshly fried. Only critique was the slaw. It was just there. Would recommend to nix it. It didn't add to the dish. This Lobster Roll I will keep in my thoughts of how I am now tainted against all others. Wonderfully done. We cannot wait to venture down again and experience more of their menu. Ahoy!! Come here to eat! King of the Sea in the Dub C!

Do not park in the lot next to the building because it is for the US Postal Service and your vehicle will be towed. There is a parking garage around the corner on the corner of Walnut and Chestnut Streets. The cost is 25 cents for every 15 minutes. We ordered an Old-Fashioned with Woodford and a Blueberry Shaker. The Blueberry Shaker was only 3 dollars more than the regular drink and it yielded a total of 4 drinks for my partner. The drinks were good. For our meals we had the Steak and Shrimp Bourbon, Bourbon Street Burger, and a side Caesar Salad. Everything tasted very good. The decor is New Orleans Style although not completely authentic. There is a beer garden for those who want a less formal atmosphere. The hostess was incredibly good at her job. She was very friendly and engaging. We really enjoyed her service.

First, my girlfriend and I arrived to the restaurant. We requested a specific table, and the host was gracious enough to do so. We then waited 8 minutes before our table was even touched, and it was just our (server? No intro, nothing) ASKING us if we'd like water. We say yes, and then waited an additional 5 minutes just to receive water in PLASTIC cups. Again, this person never told us his name, and we weren't even sure if he was taking our order or not. He appeared to be about 18, and was most certainly high Then, we requested glasses, and since it had been 15+ minutes since we sat down, said we were ready to order when we got the glasses. The guy took our order. We both got cocktails, which also took about 10 minutes. Finally, our appetizer came. We weren't even halfway through before the entrees came, we probably had about 10 minutes to finish it. This all could have been negated if our order was taken correctly, and things could have been staggered correctly. The "two bite" check occurred within 30 seconds of our food being dropped, and by then I hadn't even touched my food. It was way too early and felt like he was just trying to get it out of the way. At that point both my girlfriend and I were just ready to eat and we said everything was fine. I had to ask the guy for a bag on the way out, rather than him giving me one after our food was put into 3 boxes. I want to be empathetic of whatever was going on at The Social that Sunday. Yet, if you are going to make your steak $42, the service needs to justify that price. I will not be going back to The Social, and encourage their management to speak to their server who flubbed the ENTIRETY of my experience there. Myself and my girlfriend both work in the service / restaurant industry, and we know what good service is. We also understand that there are bad days. This was just abysmal. 4/10.

The dirty martini was described as "filthy" which was actually very funny, but not exactly what she was looking for. The other cocktails were fine and the food was mostly very good. The main weak spot food-wise: shoestring french fries served with the burger were ice cold. Otherwise everybody enjoyed their meals. One bonus of this place is that they serve a lot of gluten-free options and have a very diverse menu.

The bartender at the time was particularly very friendly and I could tell he gave off the same vibe to everyone. As I left this bar with a friend, one of the (assumedly) local patrons was telling us we should've purposely nudged a guy seated so that we could more easily leave the bar instead of slowly crossing over. That particular patron looked back at the first guy very annoyed. The first guy was probably already at least semi-drunk and just kept trying to go on with his "joke". Another thing that surprises me is that this bar is closed all day Sunday and that they open at 8 AM according to the Yelp page and stay open until 2 AM. Those are mad hours This coming Sunday, there was a big game with Eagles versus the 49ers. I've never heard of a bar open so early in the morning and not open on Sundays. Not open on Sunday because a lot of regular church-goers in the area, or the staff need a break and maybe they would want to go to church? Reminds me of Chik-Fil-A without the super late hours and instead of family friendly style food and drink and chicken icon, booze instead. There were no smokers when me and my friend were there. I was thankful for that. It looks like PA started to ban smoking in all bars in 2021. Personally, don't miss it! I already have a hard enough time breathing and sleeping without being around that stuff! No food at this establishment. Quality drinks on tap and reasonable prices. Nice staff.
