“Delicious!!! My friends and I were so excited to try Bar Jawn, especially since we’ve loved Pizza Jawn for a long time! The food and drinks were all fabulous - Bar Jawn has a chill, relaxed atmosphere but boasts an elevated bar menu that is so much more and so far beyond typical bar food! Some of our favorites were the drunken ravioli, the buffalo arancini (so inventive!!!), the chicken parm (make sure you get it with ravioli!), the mozzarella triangles (mozz sticks with an upgrade!) and the eggplant stack! So excited to come back as the menu changes and try even more awesome options! Thank you, Bar Jawn!“

“Great atmosphere!! Very festive for the Holidays!! Love their Sunday Brunch!!“

“Amazing“

“I recently celebrated a milestone birthday with a dinner at Elwood with family and friends. Chef Adam and Jenny were wonderful to work with and the meal was absolutely delicious. Everyone loved the venison scrapple amuse bouche. We shared several orders of perogies and cheese platters to kick off the meal, followed by a couple of orders of the tri- tip beef, the sea bass, and the rabbit, which are served family style with a whole host of accompaniments, including exceptional mashed potato that got rave reviews and deserves it's own mention. Several of the diners had never had rabbit, but they all tried it and it was a hit! I already have plans to come with some friends for an afternoon tea, and my husband and I will definitely be back for dinner and/or one of the dining events that Chef Adam hosts. Adam & Jenny, thank you for my birthday dinner one to remember!💖“

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

“The atmosphere here is a lot of fun! We had an issue with our food and the manager and waitress both did their best to make it right. The drinks are tasty and the crispy calamari salad was delicious. The peanut butter chocolate mousse dessert was very good.“

“Had dinner at Bar Sera for the first time in 2023-06-16 for a 7pm reservation. We got seated right away, not waiting at all. All our drinks and food came out on time and was absolutely delicious. We had the best server named Rachel. She had many tables but still was amazing, very attentive and would engage in conversation with us as. She made the dining experience so much better than any restaurant I’ve been to in a while. The food overall was amazing. I highly recommend this place. If you can, ask for Rachel, she won’t disappoint.“

“Fantastic food and service. Favorite burgers and wonderful fries! Healthy options as well.“

“Those late night half priced apps are bangin. Food quality here goes crazy compared to any other Applebee's I've been to, servers are super helpful and friendly, and they never question how much ranch you ask for. I wish I could give them 6/5 stars but I can't so 5/5 it is. I love you Aramingo Applebee's.

Vegetarian options: Not a lot of vegetarian options as is, but plenty that you can just have the meat removed. Plant-based burgers available. Might be difficult to accommodate a vegan.“

“Buck a schuck oysters, double braised short rib over rigatoni, key lime pie and even got a hug from the beautiful Solidea D! Everything was exquisite. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“food and drinks were great“

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

“This place consistently delivers a fantastic experience. My wife and I always have a great time whenever we visit. The bar is
the perfect size, not overwhelming but still offering a vibrant atmosphere. We especially appreciate the impressive selection of liquors and the rotating draft beer options, keeping things interesting. Only issue stems from the TV situation, particularly when trying to catch any Philly sports. The picture quality tends to be pixelated, making it difficult to watch comfortably and even causing my wife's eye strain.“

“So good! The best bread before dinner ever! My favorite crab cake now and the hashbrown potatoes were amazing! We will be back!“

“Fantastic dining experience! The staff was exceptional and the food was out of this world. The tasting menu was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect.“

“I ordered the Roasted chicken with gravy and it def reminded me of a Thanksgiving plate minus the cranberry sauce! So wholesome and full of flavor 😋 I will definitely buy again. Only thing I would add is just an ice dispenser next to the water to make the temperature of the water colder.“

“The Blue Bell Inn food and cocktails are the best in the Blue Bell area. The food is always consistent, of high quality and made to accommodate special requests. Food is delivered timely and with a smile by their polite and efficient food runners. Our favorite part though is the bartenders especially DJ, Adam, Lou and the awesome bar back Dan. They always greet with a smile and provide delicious drinks. When the bar is busy they go out of their way to accommodate people to try to get everyone seated as best they can. BBI is our regular spot and we enjoy talking with all of the patrons and the bartenders on our visits. Top notch always!“

“Great place to kick back & enjoy their excellent signature drinks that you won't find anywhere else(I've had most of them & everyone I order keeps getting better...no lie) this place isn't like a bar...it's a layed back hidden gem when you just wanna relax & enjoy a different/ridiculously good drink! You won't be disappointed!!“
