However, the menu leaves a bit to be desired, especially when the highlight items are not available 7 o'clock on a Thursday night. I ordered wings ready with my second choice lobster dumpling if there was an issue. After I placed the order 10 minutes later our server came back and said that we didn't have any wings I had to ask is there anything else you're out of? She said the lobster rolls, well of course! The drinks are good but overpriced for the serving size. The fried chicken was just okay the corn ribs just corn. Take away, realize you are traditional dining. Keep it simple don't try to be "fancy". If you can't deliver simple wings or your staple items and you're attempting to give a more upscale environment you just look pretentious. Would I return? Maybe but I will call first to see if they have everything on the menu. UGH

Went to The Ridley House today and was really disappointed with the service. Our server took a long…read moretime to come over initially, and after that we barely saw her. Our drinks were empty for most of the meal, and we had to ask another server just to find her. One of our drinks was made wrong, and when we finally got her attention, she seemed annoyed she needed to come to our table and actually walked away while we were still talking, which felt really dismissive. What makes it more frustrating is that there's an automatic 18% gratuity even for small tables. I ended up having to tipping $22 total, and for only seeing her a handful of times, it definitely didn't feel deserved. To top it off, when I mentioned to the head bartender (who was acting as the manager) that I wouldn't be coming back, he pulled $40 cash out of his own wallet and offered it to me to "give them another chance." It honestly made me feel so uncomfortable and was not an appropriate way to handle the situation. The food was fine, but the service and overall experience were not. For the prices and the built-in tip, I expected much better. I will not be returning.

I'm not liking the service here. There appears to be one person working the tables in the bar area…read more We were seated at 2:28pm. We placed a drink order approximately 6 minutes in. I ordered the soft serve margarita but they were out of cherry so I settled for one flavor only to hear the server offering cherry flavor to the next table when they arrived maybe 35 minutes after we arrived. We placed our food order at 2:40pm. I received my margarita at 3:09pm. We received our food at 3:16pm. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was really good. The thick steak like fries were fine. We asked for the bill and it took about 20 minutes and she has to be reminded when we saw her walk by to bring the check.

I had a watermelon salad and a passion fruit slushie and a Lemon sorbet…read more I had the lemon sorbet because a friend of mine was having it and I preferred lemon and creamier things over chocolate. It was fine but kind of mainstream for me. Their dessert menu was all very straightforward options pretty much. I think the menu has changed a lot from many years ago- my salad was fresh for a Tuesday evening especially. There were a variety of slushie flavors with nice combinations. The quantity would be a little for some, but it was enough for me since it had alcohol and that kept the prices more reasonable. I did not take pictures as I did not want to be rude on this particular occasion. Staff is very friendly and crowd was light but people were still around despite the heavy rain.

Had a local bachelorette for myself which was hosted by my bridal party. We were all very excited…read moreto try Tavolas based upon their website and instagram, however, the restaurant did not make the night special. My maid of honor had booked a table for 11 people (she had her mothers retirement there with more people mind you) and we were seated on their very large outdoor space but not the patio as stated on the reservation. The restaurant is all pretty open to the course and it appeared there was more "patio" area elsewhere. The hostess brought us to the fire pit depicted in the one photo and placed menus on the fire pit and walked away. We were confused as we thought we were getting a table, after going back up to her she said we could have the table next to it as she did not know and that we had the fire pit as well, which was a plus! The disappointing part was that it was never turned on for us. It took several minutes for a waiter to come over to greet us, and triple that to get our first round of drinks. When drinks were brought there were still 3 missing but were eventually brought out. All of our drinks were in wine glasses which was strange and we did not get wine. Our prosecco had the proper glassware however. The waiter then walked away but we called him back as we wanted to get appetizers. We placed them and off the waiter went. While we sipped and toasted another waiter come over stating they had a glass of champagne for someone at the table which had a piece of fruit on the bottom. I had a bride to be sash on and we assumed someone saw it and had treated me to it. Well 10 minutes later and almost done the drink they came over and said "actually that drink was not meant for this table". Did they expect us to return it? Why even say that to a party? That was not our mishap. How oblivious that I am a bride to be as well? Just very odd. It took forever for our food and drinks even more so. There was a decent crowd but nothing extreme. We all felt like it took forever, not just me, and one of the women works at a very busy and fast paced restaurant and she even agreed. Our server was just okay and did not make the night feel special nor did any staff for that matter. For the food--The peach crostini appetizer was pretty good but everyone could tell they were canned cold peaches on the crostini. Cheesesteak egg rolls were mediocre. I ordered an appetizer for my main which was the tuna poke. That was decent and fresh but could have had more sauce/dressing. No one at the table raved about their food. Once we got our food we never saw our waiter till the end when we were all over it and ready to leave, especially since their live music went from upbeat summer vibes to depressing jazz music. After we were done taking some group pictures and paid we left. Never got a congratulations, come again, nothing. Honestly I am so disappointed which is disheartening as I was excited for the night and the decor/atmosphere, which all that it has going for this place. We ended up going out to another local spot for better music, service, and dancing.

My friend and I had the cheesesteak egg rolls as our appetizer which were very good and tasty. The crust was nice and soft but had a nice crunch to it. I had the Pan seared Atlantic salmon, and this was on a bed of rice with a nice sauce and topped with broccoli rabe. The salmon was cooked to perfection the way I like it, and was so delicious. One of the best salmon entrees I have had in a long time. I do wish Streetlight restaurant was closer to New York City because I would love to have the salmon again, it was that good! For dessert I had the brownie sundae and my friend had the warm apple crumb cake, both were very good and yummy!!! Thank you Streetlight for wonderful meal. I look forward to visiting again in the future. Cheers!

I thought she would come back for my drink order (although she had not given me a drinks menu), but she didn't. When I finally caught her eye several minutes later, she said (can you believe this?): "Were you wanting something else?" I said: "Yes. I'd like a drink." It's a bar! I wanted a beer. I asked what they had on draft. Instead of telling me, she started negotiations around "What do you like?" Clearly she didn't know much about beer - for instance, I mentioned West Coast IPA and she said, "We don't have anything from the West Coast, it's all made around here." I said, "West Coast is a style, not a location." Then she thought it had to do with the degree of haziness in the beer, which isn't really the point. Well, she gave me some samples, and when I decided on one, and caught her eye, and told her, did she pour my beer? No, she did not. She made time-consuming cocktails for other people who arrived after I did. She got drinks for the table servers. My food arrived and sat there getting cold while I waited for a simple beer - after I'd already waited for a long time to order it. I don't stiff bartenders or servers very often, but this time it seemed warranted. Completely unacceptable. Otherwise, the food was excellent and the beer I finally got was OK. I have no idea what it was, since she didn't deign to tell me.

I almost thought it was closed, but nope! There wasn't a big crowd, but it was a Monday at 7pm. A bunch of regulars enjoying the space. It was fairly loud with music. Super friendly folks working here. Our server was very sweet and made some recommendations as well as advised the specials for the night. Small hiccup with the beer I was served, but it was wet, so I drank the beer I was given. Ordered up the baked clam special. BBQ sauce and cheese was an odd combination, but actually quite good. I had the mussels and spaghetti for dinner. I asked for the Diavolo sauce, but not sure I received it. The sauce was not spicy at all, but some added red pepper flakes did the trick. The mussels were fantastic and a ton of them too. Spaghetti was cooked well and swimming in sauce. Small loaf of warmed bread for dipping. My wife had a chicken cutlet sandwich and she found it a bit bland if I'm being honest. She dipped her bread in my sauce to give it a bit more flavor. They put on the home run derby which was appreciated. All in all, a fun stop. Not quite sure I'd return unless I needed a place to hang before that next run to PHL. They were very nice and appreciative of the business and we enjoyed our time dining here.

If you're looking for a burger and fries, then you should be good to go here - otherwise, I'd recommend opting elsewhere. Very few lighter fare/vegetable options to choose from - and when I did order one of few salads on the menu, it arrived with wilted leaves that tasted like they'd been sitting on a refrigerator shelf for a few days too long. The turkey sandwich was decent - but that was about the only redeeming quality of the meal. As a whole, Bogart's was a disappointing experience -overly high price tag, and underwhelmingly average food.
