New American Restaurants near Ardmore, PA

“So I thought I was walking into Sweet Green as it was next door and wasn’t paying attention. I ordered a hot honey chicken bowl my go to. Turns out Dig Inn had their own version. Until she made it I was thinking to myself that isn’t what I ordered to figure out I was in the wrong place.
Instead of being mad at myself I decided to try it and I was pleasantly surprised and was not disappointed that I made the wrong turn!
Chef Twee(I think that’s her name) is awesome and I will definitely come back!

Great job y’all!“

“I was super excited for this place, came for my husband’s birthday and after dinner my expectations weren’t met. We tried two of their daily specials, the smash burger was amazing!! We also got their prime rib sandwich and this was a miss. The price was a lot for being basically an overdone dry steak sandwich. The real kicker of the night was the service. We had Matt N. and he was not attentive and made us feel like we inconvenienced him. Honestly I will still recommend this place to my friends and family, but wish the service was just better for a special occasion.“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“Worth the wait. This was our last Philly Michelin m-starred restaurant to try. It’s the absolute best. The food was extraordinary and I’m already dreaming of my next meal there. My particular favorites included the buckwheat tart with morels and both pasta courses (one was an add on). Sadly I will now never feel satiated unless I’m eating Chef Schulman’s triangoli. A beautiful and intimate space with incredible care by the entire staff. Amanda Schulman was incredibly welcoming and engaged with the diners. Wine pairing was outstanding as was my Negroni made with Bruto Americano. The marzipan rhubarb cake was the stuff dreams are made of. So, so, so happy after this meal. Did I mention? Attentive and wonderful, wonderful staff. Thank you for an amazing evening!“

“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.“

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

“Great menu, nice bar scene!“

“The food was very good. I liked that they gave complementary sparkling water with lemon.
Service was excellent. I had the steak with latkes and it was definitely very good. Apps and desserts were shared and most of them were delicious. Some we didn't love but it wasn't bad. I'd come back again!“

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

“Over a month ago my daughter and I had lunch at Seasons 52, King of Prussia. I am really careful regarding eating out because I have sensitivities to certain foods which include onions, scallions, shallots, leeks, chives, and garlic. I explained everything to my server. She went above and beyond and consulted with the Chef to make sure there were no mistakes with my order. She did a wonderful thing! David Jacobo, the Executive Chef Partner at Seasons 52 came to my table and discussed what he could do. He prepared a special appetizer of "Flatbread" which was artfully plated and decadent with fresh basil. He also added a special side to replace a dish that was not on my diet. Chef David came to our table several times to question how I was enjoying his specific dishes. I know firsthand about being turned away from a restaurant because they could not accommodate certain dietary requests. A wonderful experience from the start with an attentive waitress and caring Chef. Highly recommend.“

“My wife and I came here for our date night Friday for half price pasta happy hour. We were greeted at the door by owner Wyatt who was very welcoming and passionate about his menu. He suggested the hen which came out sizzling with a crisp skin that bursted into a juicy body when I cut into it.
My wife and I split two pasta dishes which were perfect portions to share. We also got a cheese plate and some fun mocktails on our server’s recommendation. All the staff was working together and we had a great time sharing in all the goodies.
Great overall experience, will definitely be back!“

“The seafood is spectacular. My husband and I got the Grand plateau and we were blown away by the presentation and the flavors were on point. The seafood is so fresh and clean. What makes our experience the cherry on top would be our waitress Peyton. She was so warm and welcoming. Being that it was our first time there, She took such great care of us!“

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

“Great food, music, and service!“

“One of the finest restaurants we’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. A++++++“

“Stir has been a a great addition to a trip to the PMA since it opened. But, something has changed and it is now a “wow!” restaurant.it is an overall culinary treasure in the city. I had lunch at Stir on Sunday and the menu is fantastic, it has so many unique and delicious options. The food was as phenomenal as it sounded, cocktails were excellent, and service was efficient. Stir is worthy of destination dining on its own! Thank you, Stirrers!“

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

“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“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“very yummy restaurant, you could tell the ingredients were fresh and the food was delicious! a little pricy but pretty much everything is these days and the atmosphere and service were great as well. I loved the decoration and natural lighting. the pizza crust was the best I've had in a while, chewy with a nice char.“

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

“What a wonderful place for the whole family to enjoy a dinner together. Our daughter has Celiac, and most places have a few options for her, but this is finally a place with a full menu for her, including appetizers and desserts! They have a gluten free menu, but most of the food is prepared without gluten anyway, and everything was delicious! It was so nice to be able to share plates, appetizers and desserts with her! My son, who has no allergies, but is very picky, said it was the best mac and cheese he's ever had, and wanted more for dessert! The service was wonderful, and the staff was very friendly. I mentioned in my reservation that I am disabled and that we were celebrating 2 birthdays. There were 2 hand drawn birthday cards on the table when we arrived, and they sat us in a very accessible location. A delightful experience!“

“Our group of six had an absolutely wonderful meal! Focaccia and salad appetizers were delicious as were our main courses - tile fish, pasta, vegetable lasagna, and lamb. We finished up with one of each dessert, sharing with great pleasure. Our waitress Shannon was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient and made a special evening even better. Would highly recommended this terrific restaurant to anyone who loves great food!“

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

“Holy cow! Honest to God, the most amazing service, (we came for drinks and then for brunch) with actual personal service and thoughtfulness. Brunch was THE MOST AMAZING food I have ever tasted. I kept talking about Michelin stars because of the blend of flavors and presentation! We had Matia as a bartender one night then Brendan for brunch, honestly, it’s like old time service, with actual care for our happiness and pleasure. I cannot say enough about his place! You should check it out!“

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

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

“Best brunch in Philly! Everything is delicious!“

“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!“

“insanely thoughtful bar food in a dim and intimate dining area tucked behind a neighborhood bar. the kid's cheeseburger paired a supremely peppery 4oz beef patty with a soft potato bun and the platinum standard for American cheese, Cooper Sharp. the lime gimlet was fresh, limpid, and married the premium gin with mint and citrus flavors. the preserved citrus slice drifted elegantly in a coupe glass.“

“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.“

“Pup friendly location with delicious menu!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Alice is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out can be an art form. As a visitor to Philadelphia, the meal felt less like dinner and more like an invitation into a creative conversation between the kitchen, the ingredients, and the season itself.
What impressed me most was the restaurant's confidence. The menu is ambitious and inventive, yet never feels experimental for the sake of novelty. Each dish was thoughtful, balanced, and deeply satisfying, allowing exceptional ingredients to shine while still delivering moments of surprise. There is a clear point of view behind the food, but it is expressed with restraint and precision rather than excess.
In a city celebrated for its dining scene, it takes something special to stand out. Alice manages to do exactly that. Every course felt intentional, revealing a kitchen that is both imaginative and disciplined. There was always something unexpected to discover, which made the experience feel exciting from beginning to end.
The atmosphere complements the food perfectly—warm, welcoming, and intimate enough to encourage lingering over each course. It is rare to find a restaurant that feels both elevated and approachable, where serious culinary talent is matched by genuine hospitality.
Philadelphia is known for outstanding food, and Alice has distinguished itself as one of the most memorable and rewarding dining experiences I enjoyed during my visit. Long after returning home, I still find myself thinking about specific dishes, flavors, and moments from the evening—a testament to how thoughtfully every aspect of the experience is crafted.
For anyone visiting Philadelphia in search of a truly exceptional meal, Alice deserves a place at the very top of the list.“

“Drinks are to margaritas 16.00 come on wow“

“Where do I begin? Well let’s start with I had a change of plans and found this place through recommendations and felt like taking a night out on the town. I drove from Glassboro to here and I was greeted with great professionalism, the atmosphere was amazing, and the music was perfect. Now as my first time coming in, I had no idea what was good but my waitress Josephine L. made fantastic recommendations! I had the Steak which was fantastic and the cocktail she suggested, Risky Business, was a perfect blend between sweet and sour! In short honesty (and very nerdy talk) I wanted to feel like Bruce Wayne tonight and the staff did a very fantastic job of making me feel like it! Will definitely be returning!“

“Fun awesome food, service and atmosphere.“

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

“Stopped by Yards because they had a parking lot. That was honestly our selling point. I'm glad we did.

Kelly was our server and she was absolutely amazing. She walked us through the menus, letting us know what was her favorites and what was the favorites of the regulars.

We had the wing phlight and the eggrolls. They were honestly better than I expected. The Sriracha ketchup was divine. The portions were huge. I enjoyed the bowl of chili and the cornbread.

I have no complaints and would definitely come back.“

“Pretty atmosphere and good food“

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