“Our children threw us a surprise 50th anniversary party here at Jockey Tavern. Every detail was perfect! The food, the wait staff, the room! Like us, Everyone was impressed. Thank you Jockey Tavern (and our kids) for making that night unforgetable“

“This restaurant is in a hotel.. dont let that fool you, this is a GORGEOUS hotel. Smells lovely when walking in and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. If the rooms are anything like the lobby, they are amazing.
We came here for mother's day brunch. The restaurant isnt big but it did not get overly loud. The food was very good, their crab cakes were delicious and the thai chili shrimp very tender and flavorful. Steak and french toast were really really good too. Loads of desserts, the highlight was the bread pudding which my wife loved as did I. It was not very expensive either which was a relief in this day and age. Parking was easy too. At the end of the brunch my wife got to pick a flower from the big display outside of the restaurant. We had a lovely brunch.
Recommend reservations for Mother's day etc as it was very busy.“

“I had gnocchi bolognese, my husband had penne with Pesto and mozzarella (burrata). The waitress was really nice and we had a great meal!!!“

“Very comfortable spot to dine if you're staying at The Desmond or in the neighborhood. delicious entrees, friendly and attentive staff.“

“Service was above and beyond. My colleague and I went to lunch today and it was the perfect break. We found out our waitress was only in her second day and were shocked - Caroline was so professional, upbeat, friendly, and communicative. She is a rockstar! We’ll definitely request her next time!
I’m local and love it here - the drinks are always on point (see pics!), the guac is a must have, and the tacos are tasty. In the summer, my family loves coming and sitting outside, especially when there is live music. It is family friendly, but also a great date night spot or work lunch!“

“5 Stars“

“We happened upon this place from an on-line search. If you dine here, you won't be disappointed!!!!. One of our party has celiac disease and the chef came out to personally discuss her preferences. A couple of us ordered the tuna. It was perfectly cooked. Another had the Lobster Risotto, with an ample portion of lobster. Our server was top notch. We would return in a New York minute.“

“Was there last night, our waitress never stayed at the table more than 2 seconds and it was not busy. She didn’t even say goodbye when we left. Yikes! Cocktails were yummy but the lights need to be lowered. Music was horrible as it kept getting skipped. Imagine dragons not a cocktail club vibe. Recommend a good vibe be set or will probably not return. Unfriendly waitress also made it way worse.“

“I’ve recently had several meals and drinks in the bar area. Food was delicious and drinks were great. Their house salad and pasta dishes are amazing!“

“Waited 40 minutes for hush puppies while the restaurant was nearly empty at 3pm. Primary food order came 5 minutes later and my son’s order was wrong. It’s a shame because the food is good. But the service has been so slow both times I’ve been here. They did comp his meal. Just expect to wait a while and enjoy your drinks. Don’t come if you’re in a hurry.“

“We were visited two time in this month, Food was delicious!“

“Emily M our server was fun and helped make dinner enjoyable. Food was good but Emily made it even better. Thanks Emily“

“Bar Avalon always delivers! The food, service, and ambiance are consistently amazing. We tried the wine and dinner pairing for the first time last night and were blown away—perfectly matched courses and a knowledgeable waitress made it a standout experience. A perfect date night. We’ll definitely be doing it again!“

“We celebrated our 50th anniversary at this particular Chop House in Exton. Excellent service, incredible food, delicious beverages. We ordered appetizers, and specialty drinks, our server Orville was so attentive and definitely knew the menu. The general manager, Maureen stopped by to wish us a happy anniversary and make sure everything was as it should be. The service and food exceeded our expectations, it always does. Maureen seems to be an amazing role model to her staff, she is the manager, but you definitely find her with “hands on”, it’s incredibly obvious how much respect they have for her. Our main entree was prepared perfectly. Dessert was not only perfect in presentation it was delicious! I cannot say enough about this location. From the time you are greeted by the hostess till it’s time to leave, you are made to feel special. Chop House in Exton, Pa you are the BEST!❤️“

“Food was so delicious! Wonderful outside balcony seating! Great service? love this place!“

“Amazing experience at The Pear last night! Matt and Francesca were both wonderful. Delicious food. If you haven’t made it out here yet definitely book a res and go. Soooo good.“

“I just held a 40th birthday party at Lock 29. Everything was great. The space was perfect, everyone raved about the food and cake (some people said it was the best cake they’ve ever had!), The servers were awesome, they made sure everyone had what they needed and did a great job keeping things organized and clean throughout! I would recommend parties here to any of my friends and family! Everything was exactly what I wanted!!“

“I had a private party (20 Guests) on a Saturday afternoon. Everything went PERFECT! Olivia Karlin was an amazing host and event organizer! She informed me that I needed to pick three meals and two starters for my menu. I had the room for 2 hours and it was so much fun! Checking out was easy and everything went the way we planned it. Would definitely recommend!!“

“I had a fantastic experience at Santino’s Tap & Table in West Chester PA. I went of a mini vacation to visit some friends in that area. I was starving when I got off of the plane, and met my friends outside of the airport. When I got into the car I made a comment about being a tad hangry haha. I was then told we have the perfect place for you. My friends took me to Santino’s Tap & Table and let me tell you it was amazing in every way possible. The restaurant was very clean, nicely set up and the staff were very friendly and very informative when asking questions about the menu. This place has it all appetizers, entree’s, pasta, pizza, sandwiches, soup and salads, a brunch menu, breakfast and even a children’s menu for the kids in your family that are picky eaters. Speciality cocktail menu, along with a full bar with knowledgeable bar tenders. I started off with a water, then decided on a Blood Orange Bourbon Sour it was perfectly balanced and a very good drink to chose. Looking through their Winter Menu they had a wide variety to chose from. For and appetizer i chose the Shrimp Lejon it was so delicious! For my main dish of the night I decided to try the Short Rib& Portabella Mushroom Ravioli hands down one of the best things I have tasted. The service was fast and efficient, the staff was so nice and knowledgeable. I left very impressed, with a full stomach and was fully satisfied. If I’m ever in the area again I will definitely make it a priority to stop by Santino’s Tap& Table. Go check it out for yourself, you will not regret it!“

“I ordered pad thai. It was very good. But there was noone there, (2 tables) and it took a really long time to order, I missed a bus. The overhead in Phoenixville is probably high but the cost and the wait was too much. She seems nice, there were three staff people and only two tables though. Hm. pretty inside. :/“

“We’ve been here three times now and I have to say, this is probably the best food you can buy in West Chester. We are working our way through the entire menu and every offering has been spectacular! My personal fav so far has been the oysters as an appetizer followed by the halibut for dinner. Wow! My wife has loved the gnocchi and striped bass as well. And the authentic French onion soup is a show stopper. A great dining experience every single time. Keep up the phenomenal work!🥂“

“We hosted our son's high school graduation party here and we could not have been happier!! Mike and his team are attentive, flexible and easy to work with! The staff was amazing, food was great and the room with games perfect! Our friends all had a great time and we received many compliments! We highly recommend Midtown Social for your next event!“

“I made a baby shower at cornerstone this weekend. There are no words to express how easy it was to work with Christine, the owner. She is passionate about providing a culinary experience like no other. The staff is amazing and everyone at the restaurant works hard to provide a top notch experience. The food is beyond words amazing. Soo delicious, fresh made. Highest quality ingredients. Thanks to Christine and the entire staff our day was truly perfect and a memory forever. If you are looking for the perfect spot for a party, or to just get lunch or dinner, don't look any further. This has been the best experience of any party I have ever made, and I've made a lot! Thank you again Christine and staff!“

“This place is awesome in every way. Great food, great beer, and a phenomenal environment. But what really makes this place top notch is the service. My wife and I and our three young kids have been in multiple times and every single time, staff goes out of their way to make us and our kids feel beyond welcome, which is not the case at many other establishments. Our kids leave with as big of smiles on their faces as we do and that is all because VK staff ALWAYS goes above and beyond. Can't say enough about this place. Looking forward to continuing to support VK!“

“Visited to prepare for an upcoming event and decided to have dinner. The service from the time I was seated was best in class. My hostess Cheryl was so friendly and professional getting me settled at my table. My server Mr. Relace was absolutely amazing. I had a few items from the menu. Baby back ribs with sweet potato fries, Atlantic Salmon with seasonal vegetables. A nice potato soup with Prosciutto garnish. The cocktails were poured generously. To top things off I had bread pudding soaked in Markers burbon with French vanilla ice cream. The entire experience was priced very well and I recommend as a hidden gem for fine dining.“
