    fairytale squash steak, grilled turnbroc, salsa macha
    Josie

    We had a spectacular dinner at Sweet Amelia's! The weather was perfect so we sat outside beneath the string lights and took in the quaintness of the town square. The staff were very pleasant and patient as we figured out what we wanted to eat. I tried their roasted butternut squash dish w/turnbroc while my fiancé ate the chuck eye steak. We were both impressed with our meals and sad we didn't have space for dessert.

    Don't let the lack of options keep you away - quality vs. quantity proves to be absolutely true here! My meat & potatoes loving husband was not looking forward to meeting four friends here because he didn't like the menu. Once there we ordered five "snacks" and devoured each one. There were only 5 choices for entrees, but that proved to be too many! I had a hard time choosing! I went with a pasta and it did not disappoint. I would definitely go back.

    Wow!!! My friend and I went to Sweet Amelia's for the first time last night and it was phenomenal. We were both so surprised that this gem is tucked away in Kennett and people don't seem to have caught on. Every dish was amazing - we got the chicken skin tea sandwiches, hamachi collar, lamb kofta, halibut, beef cheek ragú, and finished with the chocolate olive oil cake. Not one miss in the whole bunch. I highly recommend checking out Sweet Amelia's if you haven't yet! I will absolutely be back.

    One of the more unique dining experiences in Kennett Square! While the menu is always rotating, we were so attached to so many of these menu options! The steak was out of this world tender and the potato's were perfect. We really leaned into trusting our waitress with the experience and going off of her recommendations and I would highly recommend that. The ambiance was quiet but perfect for our intimate date night. Will definitely be back!

    Wonderful food!! Service by Zach was great. What a find. We ordered at lunch the sourdough toast with beets and the salad with buttermilk dressing. Everything was made to order and so fresh. Excellent presentation.

    We had brunch at Sweet Amelia's on Saturday, and the food was fantastic! We were just surprised that we were the only people in the whole restaurant on a Saturday at lunch time. The restaurant is so cute with brick interior walls and booth tables facing the sunny windows. The waitress was friendly and helpful! We were seated right away. We ordered shishito peppers, tomate toast and crab dip to split. The crab dip and homemade crackers were so delicious. That was my favorite! The shishito peppers were also super tasty! I loved the ricotta toast with egg. Everything we tried was full of flavor and beautifully composed. We were so happy we tried this restaurant. I hope they have more people dining there most days. This place is such a great find!

    Review specifically for dining, not cafe…read more Spectacular evening with friends at the Farm Table! From start to finish, everything was delightful! Purchasing the suggested pairings (ahead of time) added to the overall experience. We also had wines that were brought on preference and the paired wines won out every time as they perfectly complemented the prepared courses. Our two servers were friendly and attentive, explaining every course and refilling our wines without asking. Present, yet out of the way. The atmosphere is very cozy in the back of the cafe at Talula's Table - the original table as opposed to the smaller kitchen table added a few years back. Reservations still take a year (though it's easier to snag a cancelation or weekday as they recently added online reservations in April 2026). However, it was well worth the wait (and I'm not sure why I waited so long to try it)! We left stuffed between the hors d'oevres, eight courses, bread, surprise course, and plenty of wine to wash everything down. We experienced the Spring 2026 menu and look forward to dining again in another season.

Zappa, C.W.Stoneking, you don't hear this music anywhere around here. Started with an old fashioned which feature a "well bourbon" for happy hour. Don't recommend.

Came with 9, but my GLP drugs only tolerated 6. Overall I would try again, but with Bulleit Rye and just the shrimp. Or the fish and chips.

It's one of my favorite drinks, especially when I need a caffeine boost and at that time I definitely did!!) I wasn't planning on drinking alcohol, but it was so perfect that I ended up having 2 of them!! Lol For food, I ordered the smash burger and got fries instead of the salad. It was pretty yummy! My cousin's wife ordered the Baba Ganoush and it was delicious!! I was pretty impressed because we had no expectations!

We were seated at exactly 4:30, and our server was friendly and fast. RJ and I ordered Downeast Peach Mango Cider which was refreshing and delicious. We started with crab and artichoke dip and beef and weck eggrolls, and our table ordered 2 fish and chips, the "Luxury" seafood pie, shepherd's pie, and the beef on weck sandwich. My weck included onions, mushrooms, swiss, and bacon with a side of au jus and horseradish. Yum, what a salty, savory, spicy combo. The roast beef was very tender and juicy. The fish and chips were all enjoyed, as were both pies. We did not make it to dessert but will try that again another time. We were in and out in about 1 hour without being rushed at all. We will definitely return to the Whip!
