From the happy hour menu, the sliders, tuna nachos, and brussels sprouts were all very good -- special kudos to the brussels sprouts, which we went back for a second round of. Off the regular menu, the lobster bites were the standout: lightly breaded fried lobster, good enough to impress even though I'd just come from a week in Maine. The meatloaf was also excellent. The atmosphere is somewhat classy, the service was good, and the bartender was friendly. I'd definitely come back.

We had a bizarrely mixed experience at the Pullman…read more The pretty decor implies fine dining, but when you look more closely you see scuff marks on the dirty floor, fingerprint smudges on the light fixtures, dust over the ledges, and dusty cheap candles from the dollar store. The food quality and prices were equally uneven. The very small portioned chicken dish (priced the same as the wagyu meatloaf) was dry and flavorless, and seemed as if it had been barely reheated in the microwave. The star of the meal was the meatloaf: perfectly seasoned with the most delicious, moist, and tender texture. But this dish was served with a very strange rubbery bacon covering some asparagus. The potato puree was very well executed, not gummy or over whipped, but silky and delicate. Strangely, the vegetables were also highlights: perfectly crisp grilled asparagus and Brussels sprouts. The most offensive dish of the evening was the dessert in the form of an apple crumb described as "flaky" and "buttery." I am not exaggerating when I say that this tasted like an Ikea cafeteria dessert that had been stuck in the display case for a month. Truly the most abominable, rubbery, dense, dry dessert I've ever had. I'm shocked they had the audacity to serve this. Service was mostly excellent, but we were confused as to why another table had the specials recited to them when we didn't. Perhaps this is decent place for happy hour, but I wouldn't recommend a full meal here.

Located in Bryn Mawr on Conestoga Rd, there is a private lot and street parking available. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. We were greeted by a friendly server before we even stepped inside. The host station is right inside and we were welcomed warmly once again. They offered us our choice of inside/outside seating. Being our first time there we wanted to see the interior. I mentioned this and they gave us a great table upstairs overlooking the restaurant. The store is decorated with a lot of Italian transportation...small cars and Vespas. I loved the high ceilings, and the upper level seating. They also have a huge TV on the wall, and decorated for the 2026 World Cup, despite Italy not qualifying! Our server, Alex, was very personable despite being busy with a large bday gathering and several other tables. He made us feel welcome as he went over the specials and took our orders. I got the chicken Parmesan which is my goto litmus test, while my date got the beet salad with grilled chicken. The food arrived promptly and looked and tasted delicious. My chicken parm was yummy, crispy chicken with melted cheese over delicious spaghetti! The beet salad was also well received. We saw several tables getting some delicious bread and asked for a basket. I thought it may be complimentary however it was 8$ a basket. They make it in house and drizzle it with olive oil. Served with some fresh rosemary and soft butter, it was delicious and well worth the price, just don't fill up on it! We were pressed for time so turned down their house made gelato, however we passed the gelato station on the way out and regretted this decision, it looked amazing! I mentioned to Alex that my entree was delicious but what set the restaurant apart was the service and atmosphere. It was warm, welcoming, and friendly. Some Italian places can be a bit on the cool/formal side so this was a nice change. Stop in and check it out, save some room for that bread and the gelato!

The service was very good: attentive and friendly. The ambiance is similar to Not Your Average Joe's in Ardmore with the upstairs/balcony seating and downstairs and big screen TV showing sports, but much noisier, especially as the upstairs also was filled with guests. By the time we left at 7:45pm after a 6:45pm reservation, it was loud enough that we had to fairly shout at each other to continue our conversation. The food was okay, except the salad which was excellent, but not worth returning for just the salad. - beet salad - 4.5/5, plentiful small diced red and yellow beets, avocado, arugula, a light dressing and burrato with crushed pistachios. a very solid starter salad and the server kindly split a large order into two small plates for us to share - fried calamari - 3/5, having just eaten at Estia last night which has a very good fried calamari, this one was not breaded as consistently and some of the pieces were a tad on the large side for a reasonable bite and too chewy to be cut with the fork or knife. - penne puttanesca - 3/5, my husband ordered this and while he not a self-proclaimed foodie, for him to say it was just okay means it was really just okay - linguine vongole - 3/5, points for the very plentiful offering of clams, i counted probably 20 generously sized clams (sometimes you get miniscule clams with this dish), but overall the sauce was too salty and there's not much you can do to fix that, and the linguine was a bit overcooked, definitely not even close to al dente We skipped dessert as by that point our ears were starting to ring with the high decibels coming from around us on the balcony and the floor below. It looked like a lot of people were having a good time so maybe it's just not for us.

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.

Parking was also easy, with a garage directly across the street that the restaurant will validate for you--a nice bonus considering parking around a college campus can sometimes feel like its own competitive sport. The restaurant itself is spacious and also has private rooms available if you're planning a private celebration or event. We were seated at one of the tables surrounding the large bar area, which had a nice atmosphere. Our waiter was attentive throughout the meal and did a good job taking care of us. We started with the Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, which were really good and definitely a great way to kick off the meal. For my entrée, I ordered the Nova Cravers, which are essentially three sliders served with fries. The sliders were decent, although I do wish the fries had been a little crispier.

I first visited this location a few months ago on a Sunday, about an hour before closing. The ambiance was bright and welcoming, with large windows letting in plenty of natural light. I generally find this restaurant chain to have a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. However, they had run out of some basic ingredients (like apples for the pancakes), which, while not ideal, I could overlook. Unfortunately, the rest our order was greasy, and the young hostess we encountered had a bit of an attitude. She wasn't the best person to greet customers, though I understand she could have been having a rough day. I decided to give it another chance, hoping for a better experience. This time, the food was decent, though there were still a few mistakes with the ingredients. However, the overall experience just didn't make up for the lazy service from the waiter and the rude staff. While I'll continue to visit other locations, I won't be returning to this one. read more

The dining area is mainly comprised of booths that seat up to 4 people, but there are regular circle tables too. There are also framed pictures and decorations hanging on the walls and a spinning cake display is next to the booths as well. We ordered the following: Daughter had the 2-2-2 combo, which is 2 eggs, 2 sausages and 2 blueberry pancake. She thought that it was great. She loved that the pancake was blue from all the blueberries and the sausages were delicious! She said that she would order it again.

Hubs had the Dutch Benedict, which are poached eggs on an English muffin with scrapple topped with Hollandaise sauce and potato cakes. He said that the eggs were done perfectly and the scrapple was swimming inside the sandwich. I don't understand why Hubs loves scrapple. It's not healthy but he said once in a blue moon is ok. LOL. He loves the potato cakes and said that it reminds him of potato latkes from a Jewish deli. Lastly, I had the sweet pepper and scrambled eggs on a kaiser roll. This was simple and I loved it.
