New American Restaurants near Ardmore, PA

“What a great happy hour! The bartenders are attentive and personable. The bartender, who was serving us, made a special drink for my wife who wanted something with vodka. He nailed it and she loved it. The Ripp fries are an absolute must if you want a delicious bar snack. We also tried the squash blossom (recommended by the bartender) and it was amazing. Definitely a must go!“

“Fabulous service and amazing food. Our server was SO sweet!! I was visiting from Mississippi and will definitely be coming back to LG on my next trip to Philly!!“

“This is my first visit and I have found myself never wanting to leave! The food is delicious and the staff is exceptional. The staff team work so well together and give off such phenomenal energy. I ate and smiled the entire visit. If I had more time to be in the company of the phenomenal staff, Chef Asia (AJ), Chef Asha, Chef Carl, Chef Janelle and Chef Tweet, I would have placed my credit card on the table and stayed for lunch, dinner and breakfast. Great eats and great greets at this establishment. That is a difficult find.“

“IDK how this place is in Ardmore. It's absolutely one of the best meals I had in my life.“

“I was excited to eat here because i heard good things, but unfortunately the quality food was disappointing. And as we were leaving our table on the second floor, a mouse darted from one of the planters, to under our table then to under the bar. Definately not coming back.“

“It was an unforgettable dinner. The moment I stepped inside, I felt as if I had been invited to a close friend’s or family member’s home for a warm, intimate meal. The space is small, cozy, and wonderfully personal. The two chefs prepared and served each course with perfect timing, offering fresh, beautifully crafted dishes one after another without a single moment of dullness.

It was a joy not only to taste the food but also to watch the careful, thoughtful preparation behind every plate. The flavors were excellent, the progression of courses felt seamless, and I left with that perfect feeling of satisfied fullness.

There is no doubt that this restaurant fully deserves its Michelin one-star rating. A truly memorable dining experience.

The only thing I found disappointing was that, although I mentioned it was our wedding anniversary when making the reservation, nothing was acknowledged at all. The staff’s prepared guests’ birthday cakes, special party hats, cards and even a moment where the lights were turned off so everyone in the room could celebrate together. In contrast, our table didn’t receive even a simple mention of our anniversary.“

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.“

“The Love. was simply incredible! We came here with our 6 year old son. Our waiter was fabulous and very accommodating to our 6 year old which you don’t always find in Rittenhouse. The atmosphere was light and airy and the food was great! Make sure to try their Dubai Chocolate Sundae and if you’re going with children they do have special kids cups and will accommodate the menu for them.“

“Great menu, nice bar scene!“

“Each dish, from first course through dessert, was almost indescribably delicious. That had my family sharing our plates all evening. The servers, especially Jonah, were friendly, very attentive, and helpful. A wonderful dining experience.“

“This place is awesome. The food, the staff, the service were all top notch. It doesn’t feel like a stuffy 5 star restaurant but your food tastes every bit like it would at a 5 star. It’s BYOB and one of the wine bottle we brought had a cork that disintegrated and they kindly filtered it all out and put it in a decanter for us. Every single course was delicious!! We each got a different appetizer, two different entrées, and two different desserts. Every one of the appetizers was amazing, but I thought the wax beans by far were the best. The carrots were also delicious and everyone really loved the rice noodles too. Each dish was unique and super flavorful!! The steak appetizer was excellent. My scallops were good but not my favorite mix. The desserts were very good and we had to get them to go so I’m sure they would have been even better fresh. I will 1000% be back. Bravo Helm, you know what you’re doing!!!“

“We loved the food, the service and the ambiance. We will be back when we visit Phila again.“

“Such a cute place and the food was absolutely amazing. My friends and I went for brunch and loved it. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely love love love Kiddo - the menu changes based on what's in season, and the chef's thoughtfulness and attention to detail are unsurpassed. Many dishes are veggie-forward, creative and sensational, but my (fussy) husband swears the pork is the best he's ever had. Drinks are perfect, fresh bread heavenly. Can't recommend highly enough!“

“We had a reservation for 5 at 6pm. We showed up 10 or so minutes early. We were asked our seating preference and sat immediately. We had a few birthday to celebrate and we were given special treats throughout the meal. The entire experience was so enjoyable. I would highly recommend for casual evening out and when celebrating. Service and food were excellent.“

“Great atmosphere, GREAT food selection and taste and service was awesome.....thanks Max!“

“delicious. exactly what I expected from the sister restaurant of River Twice. they are very consistent with their food. the presentation is beautiful and the food is mouth watering. it is well portioned. I sat at the bar and the bartender was nice, informative, and provided well placed service. I had the octopus with the collards, the hasbrowns with crab and uni, and the sea scallops as my main. the penicillin milk punch was so well balanced. my white wine paired well with my scallops. I was a little sad to not be able to get dessert since they didn't have any gluten free. absolutely a great solo dining experience and will be going again in the future“

“Everything was perfect from the moment I entered. The front host greeted me with a welcoming smile. I dined at the bar. My bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and walked me through a beautiful meal. Service was top notch. The team work was beautiful to watch. Great attention to detail. The food absolutely amazing. 5 stars“

“Unique food, cozy, candlelit atmosphere. Our group enjoyed it tremendously. Highly recommend.“

“This place is a great spot for happy hour or a date night. Its really sleek and cool place. The bartender here is great! The food is good. The have outside seating too. Try the caramel macchiato martini, you wont regret it. Also this place is open late on weekdays.“

“Everyone who was working there was genuinely friendly and the food is amazing. I definitely recommend the wild mushroom toast.“

“One of my favorite spots to come to. Good and service is amazing!“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here, with all dishes carefully and well prepared. The scallop ceviche was excellent, and we loved the pasta with ox tail (nicely done al dente) and the fried stuffed quail. A good dessert was the pear Tarte Tatin. From the small list of available wines, we chose a Joel Gott Cabernet Sauvignon, way overpriced (as wines generally are in PA restaurants). The reception was a bit frosty (we came way too early and even though the tables in the dining room remained empty, we were ordered to wait a half hour). A very good eating experience inside one of the great museums of the world.“

“Everything prepared with amazing attention to detail. LOVED the oysters with caviar and the house burger is a stand-out!“

“IT WAS AMAZING WTF ELSE DO YOU NEED?“

“GLENN FIXED MY FRIENDS SHOE AND WAS AMAZING MADE AMAZING DRINKS YASSSSS WE LOVE GLENN“

“I had the Smoke Show pizza and it paired perfectly with the Goats Beard Alpha Acid Trip beer. Our server was excellent!! Highly recommend coming here! We will be back!“

“Friendly Service and a great setting. Felt very laidback and comfortable there“

“I came a couple weeks ago and the food was amazing I got the Burger I don’t know what it was called exactly but it was amazing and perfectly cooked, also the Caesar salad was amazing too it had crisped parmesan chips in it and made it a lot better. The service was good too and very friendly.“

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.“

“We had a good, not great meal here. For the price (which was considerable) we were definitely expecting a bit more. The cocktails were great and the service great, the food was a bit underwhelming. We went with the tasting menu instead of a la carte and found the dishes good, but not anything particularly special. They were very accommodating with an allergy which was very nice. I'd like to try the bar menu but probably don't need another dining room experience.“

“Best brunch in Philly! Everything is delicious!“

“It was alright, no complaints other than the sandwich being under seasoned. I heard a lot about this place but can't say it lived up to expectations. Not that it dissapointed either, just fell somewhere in the middle for me. Maybe I just visited on an off day but for the price I don't think I'd go back.“

“Great food, music, and service!“

“Pup friendly location with delicious menu!“

“Everything we ordered was so good! Very friendly, nice server and the cook! Genuinely happy eating there. A restaurant where you can eat carefully selected dishes at a reasonable price!“

“Round 1 (read the second part)

They sat us next to the bathroom for starters and yes there were other seats available. The interior is very small. Now to the food, the wings had absolutely NO flavor to them. I ordered the lamb and that was undercooked and not so tasty. At this point, I was afraid to even touch the asparagus I ordered. My date had the meatballs and Mac and cheese. I suppose the only edible thing was the Mac and cheese. Plainly put I make the most outta bad situations but I couldn’t turn the corner in this place sorry… DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! P.S. I ended up having to order Chinese food later on that evening cause I couldn’t even finish the leftovers.

ROUND 2….. 11/22/2025

I went back! After the first go around. I was invited back by Michael, the GM of the restaurant. Good man btw. This time around The Butcher Bar definitely redeemed itself. Had the fried cauliflower with Brussels sprouts, amazing! For my entrée in went with the steak and the fries. My date had the burger. Definitely safer choices than my last meal and who knows over time I might work my way back up to lamb again. As it turns out the place is a lot bigger than I thought but they are busy so always set reservations… other than that I loved my experience and sure am glad I came back. Definitely a delicious redeemer here….“

“Cozy atmosphere reminiscent of a speak easy. Apps were delicious…broccoli and potatoes. Pizza was excellent….thin, crispy crust with great toppings. Definitely on our list of new spots to go.“

“LISTEN UP CLOSELY PHILLY!! YOU HAVE A NEW CHEESESTEAK KING IN THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE!! DOWN HOME DINER WOW IS ALL I CAN SAY… BEST CHEESESTEAK IN PHILLY/JERSEY RITE HERE INSIDE THE THE READING TERMINAL MARKET AND THE WORKERS ARE ALL SO NICE!!!“

“You will not be disappointed, from the ambiance, the friendly, professional service and the delicious food!“

“Pretty atmosphere and good food“

“Yards is fantastic! Great food and great beer! Best brewery in Philly!

Bartenders are always on top and make sure they check in on you.
You have to get the chicken cheesesteak!! Pair that with a brawler and you're set!

Definitely check out Yards if you are in Philly or visiting.“

“Awesome food and service! We will definitely be back.“

“Our dinner was outstanding! It may be the best salmon I’ve had to date. 👌🏼“

“Customer service was exceptional. Seating area was a bit small but everyone was so friendly and worked as a team. Honestly the best service I ever had. I went for restaurant week and ordered the shrimp creole. Omg I cleaned my plate and was still salivating over the idea of more when I got home. My partner ordered the crab soup and the salmon. Eyes rolled in the back of his head y’all. Everything was so well and for my first time they left a lasting impression. Would definitely dine here again. I’m just disappointed the shrimp creole isn’t on the regular menu.“

“Drinks are to margaritas 16.00 come on wow“

“We extend sincere gratitude to At The Table for their invaluable support of the Radnor Post Prom Fundraiser, as the donation of a Gift Card to our fundraiser proved to be a major hit with parents, highlighting the importance of supporting local small business owners who consistently go above and beyond to facilitate successful events.“

“Awesome fool and interesting wall art. Gotchu some of that Sunday Brunch. Grab a Mamosa while your at it.“

“Great food, atmosphere and an even better server. Craig was a superstar. Can't wait to come back“

“This restaurant is a love letter to food. The service was amazing, the ambience was fantastic, and the food was some of the best I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing in Philly. My gf and I stopped during a busy Friday service and got seating right away at the bar with full menu available. I hope every employee here is shown gratitude for the excellent restaurant they are running. We will be back many more times!“
