My husband and I attended the Killer Queen concert recently. We love the theater and are big fans!…read moreIt's much easier driving into West Chester than Philadelphia, the parking is cheap/free, and the neighborhood is safe. Everyone at the theater is so welcoming, and we walked in without a wait or any lines for the restrooms. So, what was the problem? Some audience members were out of control and/or intoxicated. Thankfully, we were on the second level, but right in front of us on the first level, we witnessed two fights. One started when one of the audience members who was visibly under the influence kept standing and holding up his beer. At one point, I believe he spilled beer on a patron and a fight ensued. The unhappy couple who had the beer spilled on them walked out, and no one from the theater came over to handle the situation. Shortly thereafter, another man from the same group started yelling at a woman who was seated. He stood over her wildly gesturing as if ready to strike her while a patron seemed to try to grab his arm from behind. Audience members kept looking back to see if anyone was going to address this situation. By the way, this all happened during the show which was extremely distracting and distressing. Finally, the theater manager came over to escort the man and his friends away. However, the man came back and tried to go back to his seat. Again, he had to be escorted away. If the theater is going to continue to serve alcohol, they will need to hire security particularly during shows similar to this one--and not just a theater manager. This is needed to keep their audience members safe and to continue to ensure a quality experience.

Fingers crossed for next season maybe Faust!I can only hope!

This was our first time visiting and are not wine connoisseurs. Our server Shannon was very helpful in explaining the wines and making recommendations based on our input. We enjoyed a cross section of the menu. We had the Olives, Bread Service, and Hummus from the Bites menu. The Hummus dish was very good. Among our party we had the Ricotta Gnocchi, Short rib, and slow roasted chicken. I recommend the short rib as a strong dish. The roasted chicken dish could use some attention as the included escarole was a strange side as it had the consistency of dried leaves and was really an inedible part of the dish. The chicken was also "just" done as it had a wee little pink that made the eater a bit nervous about doneness. My daughter had the white wine flight and found it a good way to try multiple different options. I enjoyed the right bank red blend that was recommended based on the mixed experiences of two of us who were sharing a bottle. It was a good choice. I would recommend Turks Head for a nice evening with friends or a romantic evening with that someone special. Another great dining option in West Chester that has been under the radar.

Turks Head, West Chester -- Beautiful Atmosphere, Excellent Service, Inconsistent Food…read more We recently visited Turks Head in West Chester as a party of four -- two couples celebrating two birthdays. Overall, we really enjoyed the atmosphere, wine, and service, but felt the food experience was somewhat inconsistent, especially considering the price point. Atmosphere 10/10. The space has a cool, sophisticated vibe that immediately stands out. We loved the music and overall ambiance -- it's clearly designed for lingering over wine, cocktails, and conversation. The atmosphere is easily one of the restaurant's strongest assets. Service Our waiter, Jack, was excellent -- attentive, personable, and knowledgeable. We genuinely enjoyed our interactions with him throughout the evening. The rest of the staff was also extremely friendly and accommodating, especially when we encountered issues with our entrées. Service overall was a highlight of the experience. Food The menu is structured around a first, second, and third course, though we opted for starters followed by entrées. The starters were a strong start. We tried the heirloom tomato dish, chilled shrimp, and Caesar salad with chicken. All were well received. The heirloom tomatoes and shrimp were appropriately portioned for starters, while the Caesar salad (with chicken added for an upcharge) was notably larger and very well executed -- one of the best dishes of the evening. For entrées, two of us ordered the branzino (market fish), which was very well prepared and paired nicely with the recommended wine. Unfortunately, the two porchetta entrées were extremely disappointing and had to be sent back. The staff kindly offered to remake them, but we declined, unsure a replacement would differ significantly. Instead, we ordered the lamb meatballs. While flavorful, they arrived cold and consisted of only two meatballs per order. The porchetta was removed from the bill, which we appreciated, though we were surprised the replacement dish was still charged given the circumstances. The staff handled the situation professionally, but by that point we were joking that we might need to stop for food on the way home. Drinks The wine program is interesting but somewhat confusing. They offer a white wine flight for $35 and a red flight for $35, with a "Gold" flight at $55 that includes both reds and whites. The structure felt a bit unclear, so we opted for cocktails and wine by the glass instead. The cocktails were excellent, and our friend enjoyed his white wine. During dinner, we ordered the Expedition Sauvignon Blanc, which paired very nicely with the branzino. The two Cabernet selections -- one from Napa Valley and one from Sonoma County -- were also well received. Desserts Dessert was a mixed experience. The chocolate tortes were good but slightly firm in texture. The lemon olive oil cake had a dry exterior but a pleasantly moist center. The standout was the selection of chocolates from a local chocolatier -- truly delicious. However, they were served on a warm plate and began melting almost immediately, which felt like an odd presentation choice for such delicate items. One additional surprise was that coffee or espresso was not offered after dessert, which felt like a missed opportunity given the restaurant's upscale wine-bar atmosphere. Special Occasions We mentioned we were celebrating two birthdays when asked. The staff did acknowledge them, which we appreciated. While we weren't expecting anything complimentary, a small gesture such as a candle with dessert would have elevated the moment and made the celebration feel more special. Overall Impression Overall, Turks Head excels in atmosphere and service. The space is beautiful, the staff is outstanding, and the wine and cocktails are very good. Several dishes were also genuinely enjoyable. However, the kitchen execution was inconsistent, particularly with the entrées, which makes the experience feel misaligned with the pricing and overall polish of the restaurant. Would we return? Yes -- but likely in a different way. Turks Head feels ideal for wine, cocktails, and light bites rather than a full dinner. With a bit more consistency from the kitchen, this could easily become a standout destination in West Chester.

I got fantastic service at West Chester Music Store…read more I brought my Ernie Ball bass in this had an electronic issue. I first took it to Guitar Center where they misdiagnosed the issue as a bad preamp. The guys at West Chester Music correctly diagnosed the issue as a disconnected battery terminal and had it fixed within 24 hours.

Got a little delayed because of the snow storm, but they got it done. Didn't test it out at the store because I was short on time, but got home and hooked it up... sounded great. Before picking it up the technician (luthier) gave me a call and explained the issue he found. Was honest - he told me that there was a loose connection on the preamp board which is potted. He said he drilled out the connection but could not re-solder the wire. He said that the bass will need to have the board replaced at some point. Maybe years or maybe weeks.... but it is working. I know that intermittent issues in any electronics are hard to find, especially when potted under epoxy. The store is a little quirky and crowded with product, but they did a great job. Looked around a bit - they have a huge selection of guitar strings, amps and pedals... new and used. Al, I'm guessing, took the time to walk around with me, pointing out product, talking with me about the basses he had, the email group they managed. They gained a customer.
