They put St. Germain in their Aperol Spritz - even when they made a second one without it- the drink was not great. No flavor , no Prosecco. I got the no bun hamburger salad - basically a burger with cheddar cheese plopped on a salad. Positives - fried mozzarella was great and my husband had this chocolate bomb for dessert and he said that was excellent. I am going back to our stand bys, Exit 13 and Alessandro's in Wayne.

Ate here again tonight for the second time. As much as we loved the first meal, this meal was…read moresomehow...better. Service: each person with whom we interacted (hosts, manager, food runners and especially our server...she was fantastic). Food: For the table, we got Calamari: very light and crispy, but the meat was nice and tender Pepperoni and soppressata pizza: excellent, with an amazing sauce, sausage and crispy outside tender inside crust. Dinner: The kids both got the Rigatoni Vodka. This is what I had the first time we visited. It was just as delicious. Packed with flavor and the sausage was perfect. Tender, and just a touch of heat. My wife got the Gemelli. A pistachio pesto - this was probably the best pesto I've ever tasted. Creamy, fill of flavor and a touch of acid that brightened it up nicely. Incredible. I got the Bucatini Amatriciana. Pomodoro sauce with guanciale. Blew me away. The pomodoro was unbelievably well balanced. Exact amount of sweetness, slightly acidic and the guanciale brought the salty note, in the form of crispy crunchy bacon flavor, but surprisingly tender. Blown away. We had to try dessert. Tiramisu: it was as good as expected. Very well made Vanilla Panna Cotta: this was exceptional (like pretty much the rest of the meal) delicate and creamy, and a huckleberry compote (?) that was insanely good. A touch of salt was in there to make it positively sing. I could not more highly recommend giving this place a try. Absolutely the whole package. Loved it and will be back!

Carina Sorella was soooooo worth the drive!…read more We started with the calamari , it was perfectly prepared, beautifully seasoned and served with a lemony aioli that was delicious. For my main course, I had a crispy fried chicken cutlet topped with a perfectly dressed Caesar salad (not on the menu but absolutely worth asking for). I believe it was around $31 and worth every bite. The frosé was spot on too but order it as soon as you sit down so it has time to reach that perfect consistency. The service was amazing . Everything was on point. I'll definitely be back!

This place is awesome. It's been around for nearly a century and not much has changed. It has an…read moreauthentic vibe that you won't find anywhere else on the main line. The bar literally has a phone booth in it. It's totally unique and is a staple in the area. The bathrooms are a little funky, but it's all part of the experience. The beers are cheap and the hot dogs are delicious. This is a great place to stop after work for a bite. It is a smoking bar, so thats something to consider, but I didn't find the smoke to be too overwhelming around happy hour. Lots of character! Check it out

I came in with some friends one late afternoon/early evening, and it was a really fun spot. Not…read moreall that big inside, but a really friendly vibe inside, very small town like with some historic charm with all the decorations. There's a strange-looking critter up top along with just random stuff riddled around the bar, and a bunch of popular beers on tap. All the staff were really friendly (shout out to Kevin!), and they were on top of keeping drinks filled. I also ordered some food - a double smash burger and some fries. Both were really tasty - that burger was really juicy! Great fixings on that burger, but it's a bit on the small side, so if hungry, probably a good idea to order the extra patty. Fries were really good too. They take cash or card, and they hold on to your card in a cup near the register until you close out - not what I've usually seen, but makes sense, I suppose. I'd return for another hangout with the guys! Kevin, come toss some discs with us!

The food is exquisite - the Kenneth Square mushroom soup was lovely, and the spicy Lamb Bolognese was incomparable! I'm a good cook and I was so impressed by this dish... Our server was new, but very sweet and really went out of his way to be helpful. The business is farm to table, sustainably grown within 50 miles of the restaurant. I really like that. All in all, I highly recommend this place. It's not cheap, but it's worth it.

Garrett Hill Ale House has stuck in there for years, after the previous restaurants in the same…read morebuilding vanished as quickly as they started. They are open from 4PM on all days except Sunday, when they have their delicious brunch. Their beer list is EXTENSIVE. They have plenty of local and not so local brews. You can also build your own 6-pack to go. They have a great dinner menu. Think sandwiches, burgers, ribs, wings. Really good too, not just pub style. The brunch menu is big. Once our table of 8 ordered different items from the brunch menu, and no one got the same thing. The chicken & waffles and French Connection (French toast) are my favorites. They also have a build-your-own Bloody Mary station. Sometimes the mimosas have a station as well, and that includes liquor-infused gummy bears. Those are good days! Check out this Garrett Hill neighborhood gem!

We decided to stop at The Grog Grill which I had only been to once before in the 23 years I've lived in the area. I recalled that at that time, the Grog burger had been named best of the Main Line so I tried it and thought it was definitely not the best burger. The service was excellent, the pub environment was pub-like, we were seated at a high top at the back of the restaurant and next to a door to to the outside which made it very cold! I wore my heavy coat the entire meal. Cobb salad - 3/5, I think it's hard to mess up a cobb salad, but this was just okay. Tons of bacon bits and not a lot of salad greens, almost like a deconstructed salad which is weird for pub food. Mushroom flat bread - 3/5, just okay What redeemed our lunch was that when we asked for the check, our lovely server told us that the older gentleman at the bar had taken care of it along with the checks for several other patrons that day. That's never happened to me before! I will need to pay it forward...just maybe not at The Grog Grill.
