However the people (customers) at the bar were such bad vibes. We ended up sitting in the other room and it was all older couples talking so loudly we could hear every word. It was hard to decide what to get because there were so many cool unique options but I ended up going with one of the servers recommendations. The chicken was fantastic! But it was over this gnocchi that was not good... the cream sauce was OK but nothing special. Absolutely worth a try! This is a creative menu and unique spot. I'm hoping to update and give a better rating next time I try.

Left waiting for the server for quite a while after we finished eating. Too little eggs in the short rib hash; one egg just doesn't work for the amount of potatoes and shirt rib.

What a disappointment. We've been to Terrain before but this time wanted to try their outdoor happy…read morehour for our daughter's 22nd birthday. We made the reservations for happy hour specifically to sit outside and listen to the live music. When we arrived, even though we had reservations for their happy hour, we were told there were no places outside and they wouldn't even honor their happy hour menu inside. They later came back after realizing they were in the wrong and said they would honor the drink prices but not the appetizers on the happy hour menu. We saw an empty high top table with no chairs outside that we would have stood at, but that wasn't even an option. Instead, we were told we could purchase drinks and walk around outside. Since we were there for a birthday (indicated on the reservation), this was upsetting. We left and found a nearby restaurant with delicious food and all-day happy hour nearby.

Every time we think we've had the best meal at Andiario, we go again and it's better than the last!…read more This past weekend may have been the best yet. Every course was spectacular. The lobster and vegetable salad was an amazing start. The pastas are always fantastic and the cappelletti with morels may have been the best yet. The short ribs were fall apart tender and the sour cherry strudel was a great ending. And as always the wine pairing was perfect. We can't wait to see how they top this in a few weeks.

My husband and I had dinner at Andiario a week or so ago when we spent a day in West Chester. The…read morerestaurant offers pre set dinners (four courses for $85), with a menu that changes every week, inspired by the season and the bounty of Pennsylvania produce. The restaurant is beautiful and still very comfortable. And the service was outstanding. They brought me a little stool for my purse, which is such a nice touch. And they were so helpful and friendly as they stopped by our table to explain each course on the night's menu. I also really enjoyed my wine, and my husband his cocktail. While the experience was lovely, I was underwhelmed by the meal unfortunately. They brought us a little starter (off menu) - a fritter with duck confit, which had good flavor but an odd texture. The first course was turnips and squid, which was okay (I didn't get the squid on the dish - it didn't have much flavor or do much for the dish). The second course was Pizzoccheri - a pasta dish made of hearty, dark buckwheat pasta with boiled potatoes, Savoy cabbage, melted cheese, and butter. It was delicious and rich and great for winter (it snowed later that night - the first of the season). I was glad they served a single portion for two people - because it is rich. But I'd eat it again for sure, my favorite dish of the night by far. The third course was a strip loin with salsify and leek cream. This dish was pretty good, too. I loved the salsify - I'd never had it before. And the jus was delicious. I didn't love the cook on the strip loin - it was medium rare on one end and over medium on the other. The dessert was a profiterole with candied quince and cherry. It was too sweet for me, and I didn't taste much of the quince or cherry. The dish I'd want to eat again is the Pizzoccheri, for sure. It was a lovely meal - the restaurant has a great ambiance and the service was wonderful. I didn't love the food on this first visit, but their menu is creative and it's very possible that on another night it would blow me away. I do love a set menu/tasting menu at this price point and with only four courses - a great value, and a great portion of food (not too much like some tasting menus). It's beautiful spot in West Chester; I'd be happy to try it again if I'm in West Chester for dinner again.

My family and I visited Harvest Seasonal Grill around 7 PM yesterday to celebrate my daughter's…read more21st birthday, and I needed to leave a review after such a great experience. First, the food was excellent, as it always is at this location. That's honestly something we've come to expect whenever we dine here. What really stood out this visit was the staff, especially our server, Jonathan B. We didn't have reservations, and we didn't make a big announcement about celebrating a birthday. Somehow Jonathan picked up on it and went out of his way to make my daughter feel special. Nothing felt forced or scripted. He was attentive, funny, personable, and seemed genuinely invested in making sure we had a great evening. Turning 21 is one of those milestone birthdays, and Jonathan helped make it memorable. The entire staff was warm and welcoming, and you could tell everyone genuinely cared about the guest experience. I also believe great staff are a reflection of great leadership, so credit is due there as well. Teams don't provide this kind of service by accident. It's clear there's a strong commitment to hospitality at this location, and it shows. Thank you to Jonathan and the entire team for helping make my daughter's birthday such a special one. We'll definitely be back.

We ordered the burger and the crab cakes. For $18 the burger is ok but I can get better elsewhere for that price point. The crab cakes were just ok not much filler but over done with Old Bay. The garlic mashed potatoes were lackluster (not much garlic flavor) and even though this was about a week ago, I can't remember the veg. A quick look at the menu online reminds me it was a southwest corn preparation. Since corn is out of season at the moment, my bar was set low but this was clearly commercially prepared corn. I suggest an in-season alternative. Service was ok. Even though we arrived pretty early by the time 5 PM rolled around, the place was full with every table inside and outside (very nice weather for outside dining) was taken. It reminds me a lot of the old Iron Hill from 20 y ago, just not as elevated dining as IH (RIP) originated with. Tried it, probably won't return. Entrees were not picture-worthy

But I've had enough mediocre experiences here that I won't be returning. Most recently, it was trying a side dish that was one of the worst things I've ever tried at a restaurant. I tried to politely explain to the waiter that it wasn't to my taste -- I didn't ask for it to be taken off the bill -- and I got back a rude reply shaming me for not finishing it. It was jarring. I know that everyone has a bad day, but it just seems like something goes wrong every time I've been here. I wish I loved White Dog as much as other reviewers, but it's just not for me.

I'll tell you what I told the waitress before we walked out after having been seated. "Disgusting."…read more We were seated. Place was freezing cold (and I run hot so that's saying something). I reached for the water glass - covered in filth. Not fingerprints, filth. I checked the other glass, same. I said something to the waitress. "Just grab one from the other table." Proves the saying you can't pay someone to care about their job. I looked at the glasses on the adjacent table to my right. Same. I looked at the glasses on the table to my left. Same. "We don't wear gloves when we set the table, they're just fingerprints." No, they were covered in muck from whatever was on the person's hands (who was too lazy to wash them) when they set the table. And having worked in restaurants, trust me. If that's what the front of the house looks like, the kitchen is 10 times worse. Got up, told the waitress this was disgusting and left.
