“Like it here. Clean. Good.”

“Good service and cheesesteak was yummy too.”

“Went to get the tomato pie. A bit disappointed as it was more garlicky then I remember. Have had the tomato pie for many years with a fond memory for the taste. Feel like the recipe was changed.”

“Just went through the drive thru line and the lady that helped me had great customer service. It’s the morning of Black Friday and she just made our day better by her smile and positive attitude. Great job!”

“Evelyn was very pleasant and got everything we needed. Would recommend bertcci’s and our lovely server to everyone! 5 stars”

“😍Tucked just off the road like a well-kept secret, Snuff Mill Steakhouse & Butchery is a revelation—a celebration of fine dining wrapped in the warmth of a neighborhood favorite. Step inside, and you’re greeted by a cozy, intimate interior that feels both polished and personal. High tables, rich wood tones, and a welcoming bar set the tone. And just to the left of the entrance, a gleaming meat case—like a culinary altar—builds anticipation with its marble-cut promise of things to come. Whimsy lives here too, from the surprise artworks to the playful presence of pigs in unexpected places (don’t miss the one keeping watch near the door). The wine list? Impeccably curated, with a focus on hand-selected bottles that beg to be explored. Cocktails are more than drinks—they’re small works of art, mixed with precision by bartenders who clearly care. Then there’s Bill Irvin—proprietor, oyster whisperer, and front-of-house magician. A certified oyster expert, Bill pairs briny beauties with grace and authority. The chef and kitchen brigade bring French-influenced finesse to every plate, sourcing only the finest local ingredients. The results? Steaks seared to sublime, seafood that sings, and appetizers that linger on the palate like a good memory. The in-house pastry chef seals the deal—so save room. The desserts are nothing short of transportive. Snuff Mill is more than a meal; it’s a destination. Guests travel from near and far, and once you’ve experienced it, you’ll understand why.”

“I came to Metro Diner this morning off the humbug. I was starving & was craving some chicken & waffles from somewhere close in the area. Surprisingly the chicken was very seasoned and crispy. The waffles were also very tasty and soft. The strawberry butter mixed with their signature hot sauce was also pretty good. Alicia was my server. She was such a doll :) Her knowledge of the menu is impeccable and she took very good care of me. If you are in the Newark area and would like some tasty and quick diner food, go there & ask for Alicia <3 Thanks Alicia will be there again real soon !”

“Ole Tapas has come to our event for two years in a row and they are definitely a favorite. The food is always prepared to perfection and the staff is always so kind and professional. I personally always recommend the street tacos. We are so grateful for the hard workers over at Ole Tapas.”

“Our second time here and we love the food and laid back ambience. Everyone is always friendly and we enjoy the 80s music!”

“TY for accommodating our party of 18 on a Saturday… Your fried calamari was so yummy, the flight of soup was a brilliant idea for someone who’s undecisive to be able to sample 3 different cups, my crab cake was so amazing - I’m drooling just thinking about the jumbo lumps of crab chunks!!! By the way hubby & I noticed the American Psycho decors right away as we’re huge fans of the book & movie. Last but def not least, the service was great even though there were 18 of us with some loud kiddos.”

“The bartenders there serve people that are obviously visibly drunk and falling off their stools! When I brought it up to the bartender, she said I misread the situation and it was none of my business! So, I went to the manager and she repeated pretty much the same statement like it was scripted because it continuously happens! I wonder if the owners are aware of these actions because honestly the bartender and manager should be fired for those kind of attitudes as it's illegal to serve visibly impaired patrons at a bar! Sad! 🤔😔 I actually have to add, it's a shame that the staff isn't the best, because the concept is great, the events are fun and our group which usually numbers 10 to 15 people enjoy hanging out there for the events and the food which is reasonable and pretty good! 💝😎👍”

“Yummy. Breakfast so good,”

“Administrative details - While you usually must make a reservation a year in advance (which I did), there are a very few earlier spots available on their website. In addition, if you are on the email list, they send the occasional last-minute availability. Talula’s is BYOB. The price was $125 and with all the other things, taxes, gratuities, it came to $160. The Nook Table is available for 6-8 diners and the Farm Table is for larger parties. Website link is below. Everything is presented in “tasting” small portions. In addition to the menu, they provided a couple of additional offerings. I did not do a good job of capturing the delightful descriptions of the food provided by our server. (The next time I go, I will video the descriptions if they allow.) The group did a great job of bringing wine which was beautifully poured in appropriate glassware by our server. The server also paired the wine with the offerings for us! The service was exceptional without being pretentious. After each tasting, plates, utensils and glasses were cleared and refurbished so discreetly that you hardly noticed. The menu changes with the “farm to table” availability. My favorite was a squash tarte. [I was delighted to find that I did not like the foie gras. It is “made” in a most inhumane and horrible way. This is the only time I have eaten it and I will never eat it again.] I was sorry to find that by the Black Garlic Beef Ribeye (#6 on the list), I was getting to the point of “too much food.” The only downsides were “too much food” for most of us and the wines they suggested for the pairings were hard/impossible to find. I personally did not like the varieties of wines they suggested for pairings. The rest of the party enjoyed the comparable wines they were able to find and allowed the server to pair with the tastings. I will be making a reservation for next year very soon. I have already made a reservation for the “sister” Talula’s Garden in Philly for September.”

“So I had never tried an Açaí Bowl, but my mini me Kalena raves about them. Last week she introduced me to the one of the most incredible food experiences. If you like them or if you want to try it, run don’t walk ( or drive quickly 😊) to The Juice Joint 2.0!!! The food is great, the owner and her staff are amazing and the atmosphere👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽”

“Very delicious ice cream! Great location, Awesome unique flavors served every way you can imagine. staff are super friendly and helpful. we'll definitely be back to try more flavors .10/10 recommend. thank you!”

“Everything was phenomenal. From the service to the food. Highly Recommend.”

“Amazing experience as always. There was a large party in the dinning room which made the noise level much higher than normal but that is totally out of your control. The food was delicious. The service was top tier and we appreciate the hospitality. Can't wait to come back.”

“I had the best Cuban sandwich! I found out they use their own marinated pork, instead of ham. Puts the generic versions offered by chain restaurants to shame!”

“Was pleasantly surprised at the quality and level of service at this restaurant. Ordered a scallop dish and a pasta dish and were totally blown away! Will definitely go back next time we visit.”

“We ate here last night, we had the best food and the best waiter! It was a treat all around!”

“I brought my daughter as we recently moved to Kennett. The restaurant was very clean and the entire staff was so welcoming. The owner came over to make sure we were enjoying everything and couldn’t have been any nicer. The pizza is very good and my daughter loved the cheesesteak. They offer delivery as well which is convenient.”

“Deliciously fresh, served by really nice/attentive wait staff, moderately priced REAL GREEK Food!! We will be returning --repeatedly!”

“My (non vegan) friend and I enjoyed a delicious lunch here. It’s a charming restaurant with a great menu. Lots of options for vegans. I highly recommend it!! Updated from previous review on 2025-08-22”

“Excellent pizza! Didn't want to judge too quickly so decided to wait until we ordered again. This time, it was just as good and the service was just as helpful and friendly. I am gluten free, (not celiac) so we gave theirs a shot along with the regular ones we ordered. All I can say is WOW! I have tried so many places in the area hoping to find a GF crust that resembles 'real' pizza, and Stone Mill has figured it out! I asked if it was cauliflower crust or a blend, and the person answering the phone happily gave us the ingredients of what it is made from, without sounding annoyed at the time it took to explain. The crust is great, not pre-made and thankfully not cauliflower. It's not paper thin and came out well done with that charred look and wood fire taste like original crust has. But most importantly, it was delicious. It's not a tiny little 10" crust, or a personal size - it's the same size as all the others. (I was so excited when I saw it I dove right in without taking a picture!) The whole experience, from the politeness when ordering on the phone, to the finished products were great. It's amazing how many places make it sound like they are doing you the favor when they take an order. Great pizza and great service. This is the only place we will order from going forward.”

“We love the Kennett Square victory! Great food, great people, and obviously great beer!”

“Been coming to this place ever since they’ve opened up. They have the best banh mi I’ve had since I moved closer to Delaware. If you love some good cracking pork in your banh mi. You should look into the fire cracker banh mi cause it’s amazing. My experience with the staff has always been amazing since they’re all are so kind and friendly.”

“Great happy hour menu !! Dinner was delicious”

“Theeeee best veggie/vegan spot🙌🏾 they're my absolute favorite! The OG bowl and the protein junky are my go to but can't go wrong with the rest of the items. The staff are also so sweet🥹 I'm totally rooting for this business🫶🏽”

“Wasabi3 serves up the most delectable sushi, with the kindest, most courteous service, every single time! Simply the best around!”
