For food - we got pierogis and pepperoni and cheese balls. They were outstanding. You could tell the pierogis were scratch made, and they covered with so much delicious butter. Pepperoni and cheese ball is a misleading title - these were mini calzones, and they were scrumptious!! The dough was excellent, and they were packed with pepperoni and cheese. For my entree, I had the sea bass, which was a special. My fish was cooked to perfection and had a wonderful caper sauce! I really enjoyed the food and experience here. Get a gift card - that helps secure a reservation, as the restaurant said they are honoring gift cards through email as opposed to the phone system of getting a reservation. Just going to be honest -- is it worth spending a whole day calling for a reservation? Respectfully, no. If you can secure one, go - it's worth it. If you don't, there are many restaurants of similar or better quality with an easier way of getting a reservation.

Examples of menu items are appetizers (e.g., shrimp cocktail and nachos), soups, salads, wings, burgers, flatbreads, entrees (e.g., pasta primavera, chicken, duck, pork chop, swordfish, and A-5 wagyu), desserts (e.g., limoncello and cheesecake), and drinks (e.g., mocktails, cocktails, wines, whiskeys, and beers). My husband and I have eaten here twice--once for lunch last year and once for dinner this year. Both times, we enjoyed the employees' service and the foods. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Passionfruit-Paloma Mocktail - 4 stars - sour. Spring Sangria - 4.5 stars - slightly fruity. Jumbo Pretzel - 5 stars - huge size with beer cheese and mustard sauce. French Onion Soup - 5 stars - This soup had a rich broth, onions, and cheese. Ybor Cuban sandwich - 4.5 stars - nicely crunchy toast with tasty pork, ham, and Swiss cheese and a side of crispy onion rings. Salmon - 5 stars - I ordered this entree both times. The salmon was perfectly cooked and came with flavorful farro grains, cherry tomatoes, and asparagus. Filet Mignon - 5 stars - This 8-ounce steak was cooked mid-rare as my husband prefers. It came with whipped potatoes and his choice of au poivre style (black pepper crusted with bourbon cream).

Excellent Food in a Family-Owned Spot, But Transparency, Noise, and a Few Service Touches Need…read morePolishing (4/5 Overall)** I visited Wexford Public (12087 Perry Hwy, Wexford, PA) recently for dinner with my family, drawn by its reputation as a locally owned, chef-driven American restaurant in the heart of Wexford. Owned by longtime locals John and Melanie Dober, it positions itself as a warm, community-focused spot blending upscale comfort food with a welcoming vibe--think handcrafted sandwiches, premium Black Angus steaks, fresh seafood, flatbreads, and daily specials, all with thoughtful wine and bourbon selections. We were excited for what promised to be a polished neighborhood gem, and in many ways, it delivered. The food was genuinely great and the clear highlight. Our dishes were flavorful, well-executed, and creative without being fussy--fresh ingredients shone through, portions were generous, and everything arrived hot and beautifully plated. It's easy to see why so many reviewers rave about the crab cakes, steaks, and chef specials; the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. This is elevated American fare that feels special yet approachable, and we'd happily return just for the meals. That said, a few aspects fell short and left us feeling the overall experience wasn't quite as seamless as the food deserved. First and foremost, the billing transparency issue was disappointing. They add a 3% bank/credit card processing fee to the check (which adds up quickly on a family dinner), but this isn't disclosed on the menu, at the table, or in any obvious way during the ordering process. There's only a small sign posted outside the restaurant. We only noticed it when the bill arrived, and it felt like an afterthought rather than a clear policy. In an era where many restaurants are upfront about surcharges (or absorb them), this lack of disclosure came across as sneaky and detracted from the otherwise positive value perception. The atmosphere was another mixed bag. The space itself is attractive--soft lighting, comfortable seating, and that friendly "upscale brew pub" energy the owners aim for. However, it was noticeably noisy during our evening visit. Conversations required raised voices, especially as the dining room filled up, which made it hard to relax and enjoy the meal fully. OpenTable rates the noise as "moderate," but on our night it tipped louder than that, possibly due to the layout or lack of sufficient sound absorption. A bit more attention to acoustics could make a big difference. Service was mostly attentive and efficient, but the management interaction stood out in a negative way. When we politely mentioned the surprise fee at the end of the meal, the response was an apology that felt scripted and insincere--like it had been delivered many times before without real follow-through or ownership. It didn't leave us feeling heard or valued as guests. On a brighter note, the owners John and Melanie genuinely come across as lovely people. The restaurant has that personal, homegrown touch you can sense even when they're not physically present, and locals speak highly of them. They were absent during our nighttime visit, though, which is understandable for owners juggling a busy operation--but their warmth is missed when the front-of-house team is handling everything solo. In summary, Wexford Public excels where it matters most: the food is consistently excellent and worth the trip on its own. The family-owned charm and diverse menu make it a strong neighborhood choice for special occasions, casual dinners, or even happy hour in the cocktail bar. However, clearer communication about the credit card fee (ideally on the menu or bill upfront), better noise management, and more authentic handling of guest concerns would elevate it from very good to outstanding. We'll likely go back for the cuisine, but with tempered expectations on the finer details. If you're in the Wexford area and prioritize great American plates, it's still a solid recommendation--just check the small print before you pay.

This one is a nice go-to and we were impressed with our first experience. It has a modern, up-to-date feel and a lot of space between tables. Our waitress was attentive, though couldn't personally recommend a cocktail because they can't drink there(?) I think it's good to have the wait staff sample the drinks and entrees. That way they can describe a flavor or recommend something based on the someone's individual tastes. The food was great. I got the fish and chips and my girlfriend got a burger. The fish filet was large and fried really well. The drinks were good, especially the margarita. We'll go back in the future.

The hotel restaurant at the Radisson in Wayne, Indiana was surprisingly satisfying. Visiting for a…read morefriend's wedding, our group made several stops to the bar between ceremony, reception, and the next day's catered brunch. Our bartender was great, able to handle large groups and incredibly patient for the long hours he seemingly worked. [He served us during intermittent visits between three in the afternoon and three in the morning. Hope he gets some overtime]. I first ordered a Negroni, which the bartender mixed with Aperol. This sin probably lies on me, as I did not notice the bar did not carry Campari. I quickly switched to a gin martini which helped me overcome the error in judgment. As a group, we didn't order much in terms of food, but the sweet potato fries were a highlight item. The bartender brought us extra sauces for dipping alongside the 'brown sugar aioli'--not an 'aioli' but delicious trumps nomenclature, I suppose. Our excitement for the late night return was curbed by the kitchen's closure. The bar did a great job keeping the party lubricated with alcohol and handled an influx of guests when a second wedding party sharing the hotel arrived for a whiskey-fueled raucous. The next morning's service--first we experienced with a new staff--was disheveled (not unlike our group) and the bar was unprepared to mix hangover-staying Bloody Marys. The bar does not open at the same time as brunch begins, so we were seated at a table while we waited for the beverages. The drinks were almost certainly made with a pre-packaged Bloody mix and somehow took nearly twenty minutes to prepare. The breakfast cocktail, the staple of a hotel restaurant's bar fare, was a big disappointment. Expectations at a hotel restaurant and bar should always be middling, and our experience at RBG fell within our expectations.

After which she started a tab, as usual. The owner/bartender then after running around doing other things came behind the bar. Very rudely I could hear him asking the waitress who I was and if I was O.K. She said yes and after sitting awhile waiting to order another drink, he finally gave me one. He then said my pizza was done and closed my tab out. Two beers and a large pizza. Since I was talking to other patrons, I ordered another beer and paid cash for it. He took the $2.75 for the beer but never gave it to me. I finished the beer I had and then asked for the one I paid for. He said he already gave it to me and the thru a baby tantrum and banged his hand off the counter yelling explicit words and names toward me. He then went to the Kitchen and grabbed my pizza throwing it at me still calling me the explicit names. I told him to check his cameras and he would see his mistake. Instead, he still kept calling me names as I left. I returned home to kids wanting some pizza only to find the pizza inedible due to what appeared to be several wads of spit on my pizza. Needless to say, I had to throw the pizza away and order another one from a different pizza shop. So, my adventure to try the new owners out, not only cost me getting ripped off the price of the beer and being called explicit names, I then had the cash loss off the spit pizza and had to waist time and gas to get another one from elsewhere.

Middle of nowhere goodness…read more Yeah, I think that sums it up. Just kidding, I must review this gem of a place. When you hear of a place in Moss Creek (pronounced mosscrick to the locals), your hopes don't usually go all that high. That was me when mentioned I would be dining here for the evening. Man, was I wrong about this place. The atmosphere inside is great. The room feels big and it is bright on the inside. No dark and dreary here. Wood gives it the feel that you are in a sportsman lodge. Seating is either at the bar or pick a table around the area, just not the pool tables. I opted for the bacon cheeseburger and loaded fries. When I was informed by members of my party that you won't be able to finish them, I doubted what they were saying. When my food arrived, I could see why they said that. The loaded fries are a plate to itself, and piled high with toppings. Cheese, sour cream, green onions, green peppers, bacon, and I'm sure I'm missing some toppings here as they were loaded. The burger was quite possibly one of the best burgers I have ever tasted, and I'm not just saying that. Cook perfectly to my liking, the bacon was crispy, toppings fresh and no need to add anything to it. As far as the bar aspect, they know what they are doing here, that being said, you are not going to find all the fancy beers you would at a bar situated in a more populated area. So stick to the basics here. They also have the capability to make plenty of mixed drinks. Make sure to use your GPS to get here, but believe me, it's worth it.
