    Gotta love the happy hour pricing
    Sherri S.

    Love happy hours! This was one of the best happy hours around (4pm-6pm). Still thinking about it today. Besides, you can't go wrong with half priced appetizers. Huge portions too. I ordered the half price lettuce wraps which were delicious and even had left overs for lunch. Plus, the drinks were a generous pour with great prices also. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Wish I were hungry enough to order the mussles which everyone around us ordered. They looked so good in the marinara sauce and bread dipping. Maybe next time... and there will be a next time. The restaurant is quite large and spacious. Has a large bar and outside seating. Portions for dinners looked impressive as they passed by. Service was attentive and friendly (bar tender Mark). Yup...it was all good.

    May 18, 2023, dinner for 3 - sadly we were last here as two couples many years ago... our dear friend Brian lost his battle to throat cancer a month ago. Our server Emma was fantastic, witty, and stupendously attentive. I was going to skip this review and just enjoy my dinner out on our 3,000 mile journey from Florida to NC to PA to my daughters college graduation. I have at least 5 pending reviews, but this one jumped the to fruition. Got a few cosmos for the girls, and I just a water with lemon. They declared fantastic and a very good value at under 8 bucks. 10/10 My Grilled vegetable sandwich with mushroom's, spinach, peppers on a focaccia roll was nicely cooked, not too oily/greasy/wet, and had nice product. If I had a quip a little bit TOO cheesy, but nothing horrible. 9/10 The girls both got the Aztec salad. With a wide assortment of veggies (corn, cheese, lettuce etc. and a spicy/Cajun shrimp and lemon chicken that BOTH enjoyed very much. 10/10 The place is almost surgical clean, crazy spacious and VERY easy to have a conversation and chat without somebody sitting in your lap or wait/bus staff banging into you. Silverware and glassware clean, clear and table linens serviceable and sanitary. I did not look at other reviews yet, but I am challenged to find any issues here. Service, food, facilities, value - check, check, check, check. Great spot.

    Her movements equated to Mozart's fifth Symphony, every pore was exact, and she moved with the gratefulness of a swan, Jen, not skipping a beat for a moment. She was so fast. The only images I could get would be a blur yet she took our order made our drinks asked us how we liked our dinner and all this in the moment. The food was delicious. The owner came over to us, and I told him how graceful of a swan this bartender us was. If you haven't eaten here at the bar and you're truly missed a great experience, although it seems like only a second.

    Proportion of bread to burger is a no from me.

    I was expecting much more. I hated their spinach and artichoke dip. I won't come back here. The service is great though.

    Heading to a different place for happy hour we got side tracked as we passed Gloria's and turned…read morearound to check it out. Glad we did! It is a huge place. Quite empty on a Wednesday afternoon at 4:30. I assume they get a younger crowd that works and comes later (we are retired). The happy hour menu impressed us. Speciality cocktails normally $15-ish were only $9. That got our attention. Plus $5 appetizers. Never see lemon drop martini, manhattan and expresso martinis on happy hour afterall. And those were our picks (3 of us). We were celebrating Mom's 93 birthday. For the $5. appetizers we picked pork spring rolls, potato chip nachos, and mozzarella sticks. The chips were the winner. BUT "never" get the spring rolls. Two very disappointing , tiny spring rolls that had a microscopic amount of pork. It was pathetic. Not even worth it for $5. I would stay away from those. Silly only two on the plate and there were 3 of us. Too small to share. Our server was efficent and sweet. She added to a nice happy hour. We enjoyed playing a few rounds of table shuffle board. Nice addition. The best part of our happy hour was a friendly couple (we just met them) at the bar surprised us and paid for a round of drinks since they heard it was my Mom's 93 birthday!! That surely made her day extra special and memorable.

Wings and the sweet heat sauce were pleasantly spicy--would get again. The service at the bar was definitely lacking. Grabbed my own menus from nearby even after the bartender acknowledge that I was sitting there. Took several minutes to get a drink, no water given, and several minutes with my credit card on the check to get it collected. The bar was full, 80%. And it's a large bar, but these are excuses. I'm intrigued by the food. So I will definitely be back again to check it out maybe at a table

    We stopped here for drinks as we were exploring Doylestown for the afternoon. The restaurant's…read moredecor (hats and chandeliers) were quirky and memorable. While the drink was fine, the bartender was fun and friendly. The pace was quick but not frenetic. Customers were in and out rather quickly, and the food seemed to follow the same pattern.

    "I'd only get salmon if it can be prepared RARE." "Yes! It…read morecan be," replied our server. It wasn't. With that I deduct a star, but all told my meal was pretty darned good. String beans, not my favorite vegetable, were delicious -- crisp and very garlicky. The menu says 'almondine' but I don't think they were. The beet puree is a nice aesthetic touch, albeit lacking distinct flavor. T went with the restaurant's spin on pot pie. The filling (roast chicken, carrots, onions, peas, celery and potatoes) was excellent. The pastry topping, somewhat brittle. We chose the Hattery because I had one thing in mind: al fresco dining. There are maybe five tables on the patio out front. The restaurant was formerly a hat factory (no surprise), cigar shop, shoe store and speakeasy during prohibition. It's located on the first floor of the historic Doylestown Inn, which is still in operation. (Note my photo of the lobby.) The Hattery's menu isn't extensive, but I think they cover most bases. It's worth a look if you happen to be downtown. But don't order a margarita if it's some kind of fruit concoction. We both gave it thumbs down.

    Genevieve's has been on our must-try list for quite some time, and with another couple tonight was…read morethe night that we were gonna try for the first time. It was all exciting about trying some very interesting dishes on the pre-fix meal, but unfortunately, it was not the stellar experience that I was hoping for. For starters, our server and "Director of First Impressions", Amber, was cold, aloof, and disconnected. She was just running through her role in a very detached manner. We made no connection with our server and the server is 50% of the experience. She was rushing. No one was there yet to take her time, and we felt that we had no connection with our server whatsoever. She didn't show any passion for the dishes other than sharing what she felt were her favorites. In a restaurant, speak in creative terms about the food, have and show passion for the food you represent. The four of us discussed the menu, and we all aligned and were going to taste around the table. Between the four of us, one tried the Thai pork dish, one the shrimp dish, and two the eggplant Parm dish. In summary, we all felt that they were underwhelming, and they missed their mark on expectation and wow factor. For example, the Thai pork dish that I had was supposed to have a Thai flair to it. If there was any, it was on the lower end of the flavor profile. It was a tiny dollop of some sort of red Thai chilli sauce, but it wasn't enough of a flavor profile to make me say yes, that's Thai-inspired, and frankly, it was lukewarm, yes the meat was tender. My wife and a friend had the eggplant Parm dish and also felt uninspired by their dishes. One was overcooked compared to the other; the two asked for additional sauce to give it some more flavor. Yes, it was a nice evening out, and you get a lot for your money with a multi-course dining experience. One other oddity. During the dessert course, which was a type of bread pudding, we were not offered coffee nor tea. Even it would have been extra, who doesn't offer a hot beverage with dessert, especially in the artic temps we are experiencing this winter. I had nearly an hour drive home, and coffee would have been most appreciated. Oh well. So in summary, I would have expected this to be a five-star review all day long. Unfortunately, it's not even close,e and this is coming from 2 couples opinion.
