However, the service tends to be quite slow. On several visits, we've experienced long stretches without check-ins, even with empty glasses and plates, and had to wait an unusually long time just to get the check--this has happened even during non-peak hours. That said, the most disappointing part of our experience was the hostess whose interaction with a customer came across as noticeably rude and unprofessional. It left a bad impression and really detracted from what should have been an enjoyable afternoon.

I discovered Fairlane Grill last summer 2024 when I happened to pass there and tried it out. I fell in love with this cute little place. Unfortunately, about a month and a half ago I was an earshot away of the owner calling someone over so she could tell them a joke. The joke was totally antisemitic and my heart dropped to my stomach. I did return two other times, once with friends, and once alone and tried to just overlook what happened however I cannot. In these crazy times, there is no place for hate.

The BYOB is a bit of a bother but all too common in PA and at least you can bring something you know you'll like. what was less good for the evening was a) the environment. I don't know if the a/c was broken but it was somewhat stuffy in there. not bad most of the year but when it 88+ degrees outside this started to get a bit much. the other issue were two very loud women talking at levels to obliterate any other conversation in the place-lady if you're reading this, no one cares if you're 65. They paid their bill and we thought they'd move off but they stayed talking and drinking loudly for more than half an hour with no attempt made to move them on even though the staff knew they were causing problems for everyone else there. it was the inaction more than anything that bothered me. Overall a good time and we'd go back, but just in case we'll wait until it's a bit cooler.

The bad: the tables…read morebeing so close together is cute (definitely helps the French bistro vibe) but means you're at the mercy of other diners' hygiene and conversation topics. Cute little bistro with warm atmosphere: loved the 19th c posters, and the brick interior wall made to look like the exterior of a French building with balconies. Small tables quite close together is a good way to maximize the tight space, makes the place lively, & helps sell the "French" experience, but also means that if a diner at the next table wears heavy perfume or (unfortunately in our case) has B.O., that will be part of your meal for as long as they are there. (And despite what people may say that was never an issue I had in France. Smoke yes, B.O. no.) The food was good but not exceptional, and the entrées feel a bit overpriced for the portions and quality. Surprisingly mediocre bread. The French classics are done better than you would get elsewhere (ie, French onion soup was very good--and actually a hefty size), but the more crossover dishes (steak & frites, salads) are better other places. To be fair though, I'm thinking of fine dining places (William Penn Inn, Bridget's) and they are even more expensive than Planchette. Also if you're going to a French bistro you should probably order uniquely French food. I bet the Coq Au Vin would have been great. I did not order that because I'm vegan, and the menu says they can accommodate vegan diners, which is why I chose this place for our anniversary. I was excited because French places are generally not at all vegan friendly. Unfortunately "accommodate" turned out to mean "we can give you a salad with quinoa and no cheese" and that's about it. I had that & a side of spinach, and also shared a side of haricot verts with my dining partner. I would not consider that an especially good meal. And the salad was just ok. The service, however, was very prompt & attentive, especially given how busy it was. Still, it's a place I'm glad we checked out (we live a few blocks away and I want to make sure we try all the local places) but not one I feel a need to return to.

There's something about La Provence in Ambler that just feels special. La Provence…read more It has that romantic French countryside ambiance that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. It's also BYOB, which makes it even better -- bring your favorite bottle and make a whole night out of it. The vibe is warm, intimate, and perfect for date night, but they also have a gorgeous outdoor space that can host up to 100 people, making it such a hidden gem for larger parties and celebrations. They opened in September 2019 -- just six months before the pandemic -- which makes what they've built even more impressive. It's truly family-driven. The husband, Manuel (from Spain), is the head chef, and you can absolutely taste the care and authenticity in every dish. Cindy, who is from Panama, brings so much heart to the restaurant as well. We started with Prince Edward Island oysters and the crab salad, which had crispy bacon pieces for a great touch of texture and the crab was incredibly fresh -- such a perfect balance of flavors and crunch. For entrées, the beef bourguignon was rich, comforting, and everything you'd hope for from a classic French dish. The Dover sole felt elegant and perfectly executed. We ended with the chocolate mousse, which was light, decadent, and the perfect sweet finish. And I have to mention our server -- Delroy was fabulous. Attentive, personable, and so knowledgeable. He truly elevated the entire experience. Between the ambiance, the hospitality, and the beautifully prepared food, La Provence is absolutely somewhere I'll be coming back to for an elevated night out.

Dined there last night. I'll start by saying the food was absolutely phenomenal!! 5 stars (or more)…read moreall the way. The food stood up to almost any restaurant we've dined at in Paris. It had been awhile since we dined there last. The problem, service. We arrived a bit early, but were sat right away. The server, Delroy had 5 tables, and we watched as he went back and forth to each table, being jovial and asking each table how was everything. He then came towards our table, and took a swift turn to give more water to the table next to us. He could have at least acknowledged us during his many table visits to every other table, but chose not to. After about 10-15 minutes of waiting he finally decided to greet us. My wife and I do not drink alcohol and the look of disgust on his face when he was removing the wine glasses from our table was quite obvious. At that point he figured a low check amount without selling a bottle of wine, so the effort to give a great dining experience went to zero immediately. He told us the specials and disappeared for another 15 mins. He came back to take our order, and that was the last time he visited our table! We never saw him again. The non alcoholic drinks were delivered by the back waiter, and may I say she was incredibly attentive to us. We were delighted by the appetizer, shrimp and crabmeat in a garlic sauce. Then the entrees came out. We actually enjoyed the appetizer so much, had Delroy decided to visit our table again, or bother to check how everything came out, we would have ordered another one. I wanted another drink, but was unable to get one because he was making multiple table visits to all the other tables, telling stories about his wine experiences, but again, never returned to our table, not even once! We really wanted to order the crème brûlée for dessert as it was my wife's favorite and we were celebrating her birthday, but he refused to come to our table. At this point, we just wanted to pay the check and leave, go somewhere to get dessert and celebrate her birthday. We finished our meal, and I actually had to call out to him as he passed our table to get his attention for the check, he glanced over and said, "one minute" and kept walking. Then he starting walking our way and just passed our table again, and went to water the table next to us for the fourth time, before turning around, staring at me, without a word, as I asked for the check. He said, "no dessert"? I said no, just the check. He sent the back waiter with the check, then picked it up from the table, after processing it, dropped it on our table without a word, and walked away. Against my better judgement, I still left him a 20% gratuity. We left and went elsewhere to celebrate.
