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

“Drinks were good and food was great!!“

“we went to the Shebeen after a show at the theatre on Sunday 12/22. our initial experience was not great -we had major problems with our server who started out with us not taking a drink order and things being ordered incorrectly, and an all around bad attitude. After asking to speak to a manager, Demi came to our table, spoke to us and switched our server for the evening. She made a bad experience turn out to be a wonderful evening. everthing about her was fantastic! she accomodated all our requests and went above and beyond. Thank you Demi and we will definitely be back.“

“Great selection of freshly prepared and innovative food. Would definitely recommend the Mushroom Flatbread to share. Their “Fish & Chips” was delicious and boasted unique flavor combinations. Service is timely, and the ambiance is quiet and relaxing. Would come again if in the area.“

“I love Char & Stave. Their cocktails are top notch! The space is really inviting. They host live music here and have trivia. It’s a good time here. It’s also a great place to grab a drink before heading to a show at Ardmore Music Hall.“

“Incredible!!! The food, service, drinks and atmosphere….literally the best! It’s great for date nights and groups. There were options for everyone including vegan and vegetarian. I have been for dinner, entertainment and late nights and it’s always a great time. Can’t recommend it enough!! *Photo cred: Great eats by Midtown Social“

“2nd time here & 10/10 love this place will be going again. We had a decent size party and they really killed it. Thank youuu to the wonderful staff. Will be returning. 🥰🥰“

“This place is cute, it has a lot of potential to be really great but for now it’s just decent. Went to celebrate a birthday, as it is close by & saves the hassle of driving in the city. Made a reservation on Resy, specifically for the greenhouse, wanted the nice ambiance, got there and they sat us inside (wanted to give us a high top but I stated I wanted a regular table). I pointed out the reservation was for the greenhouse, she mentioned we could wait 10-15 min if we wanted.

Food:
The salmon was perfect and by far my favorite dish on the menu. Perfectly cooked, tender but also crispy skin. The cucumber celery citrus salad is fantastic also!

Rigatoni was also nice. Flavorful, burrata is a nice touch.

Butchers pizza was ok at best. Very salty, like very very salty and I enjoy lots of salt and seasonings. Also way too thick and way too crispy, almost hard. It was tough to bite into it. Maybe it was a one off thing but overall we were not fans of it.

Burger was also just ok. My partner asked for medium, came out med rare. Fine, we like a little redness but in burgers we prefer medium. Also the truffle fries, it’s “truffle” oil, you cannot taste the truffle at all, there’s no truffle shavings or anything of the sort. I wouldn’t order the burger and truffle fries again honestly.

Dessert: blueberry lemon cake was very tasty. We loved it! Presentation could be a bit nicer but flavor wise it is delicious!

Drinks: margaritas had no rim, flavor wise they tasted nice. Could use a nice touch of a spicy rim especially for the spicy peach margarita.

Server: she was very sweet, did provide a lot of info. I wish she would have checked on us a little more, a couple times we were looking around for someone’s attention and ended up asking someone else. But overall we were happy with her. It was a weekend night so she was probably very busy.

One thing that could be improved is flow of service. Our server did give us a heads up that things may come out separately, we were ok with that but we didn’t realize how long in between each dish it would take. For ex: we ordered the pizza as an appetizer, she mentioned it may come out with the food and we said that’s fine. But it turns out all the dishes just kept coming one at a time. First the burger, then the salmon, then the pasta and pizza. By that time the person eating the burger was almost done. The pizza came out last instead of an appetizer. We assumed she meant that the pizza would come with everything else, all at once not randomly scattered throughout.

Overall, I’d give it a 7/10. The place is nice, it has potential for improvement however. But it is definitely nice to have a cute spot in Delco as the area lacks in nice restaurants. I would definitely return and hope they keep tweaking things and continue to try to improve!“

“Let me start I did read all the bad reviews before heading over there so I didn’t have great expectations.However as a cheapskate and a craft beer lover especially searching for my lessor common styles of beer, I typically go by each bar and restaurant in airport and scan QR code to see beer selection and check pricing.Most places here in Philadelphia Airport straight rip off at 16 per pint, but when you want a beer you’re stuck. Anyway when I first approached the counter I was absolutely expecting to be poked since they didn’t show prices only beer menu.Luckily they had something for me that I was going to purchase regardless, A nice strong Golden at 8%.I was then blown away upon seeing I got a 20oz, normally higher ABV beers are served in smaller 12oz glasses. Any full pour of 20oz was only 10 bucks and I was expecting at least 20, left me room in budget to not only get 2nd beer plus a pretty solid hotdog and chips.Biggest plus was Connor the bar tender, was super cool and attentive, and then informed me I was safe to take my cup and walk back to my terminal, since I walked a fair distance just to check out all beer options.Lastly, unlike most other restaurants In airport it’s kind of obvious if your paying attention that their section is not owned and maintained by airport, as most restaurants have tables and chairs with chargers that kind of blend from restaurants into gates, so I kinda understand their right to ask people to patronize their business or ask them to leave, I was lucky to find a spot at the bar.Not excusing anyone ever treated rudely, and definitely not my experience.“

“The food was delicious although the shrimp might have been a little over cooked. The salads were fantastic. The desserts were sized appropriately excellent. The staff was very courteous and willing to have brief conversation. This may be our new go to place.“

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

“Absolutely love V&M's. Their Margarita pizza reminds me of fresh pizza in Italy. Lovely people who always greet you with a smile! One of our favorite places to dine in and take out!“

“Huzzah! This is my go-to place for the best Whisky in the Pottstown area. I'm not saying they should name a Whisky after me, but I am available for all marketing needs. Seriously, grab yourself a bottle of whatever their latest small batch is. You. Will. Not. Regret. It.“

“They food good the music is nice and bartenders are good“

“The venue was almost perfect! It is well appointed, the bathrooms super clean. The set up was great. The bartender was awesome! She was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Friendly and efficient. Good parking, well lighted exterior. I would recommend this place any day of the week.Thanks.“

“Streetlight Kitchen & Bar is a great restaurant to go to for dinner. Their smashburger is delicious and seasoned perfectly. Streetlight is a great place to eat with friends and family.The atmosphere is great and the servers are very polite. Would recommend people that love high quality food and great cocktails to go to this restaurant.“

“Recently started working in the area and have been frequenting Dan Dan for takeout. So far I’ve had four different meals, and every one left me excited to try another! So good! Big plus that the workers are so friendly, and I even get a text when my order is ready so I don’t have to wait. Keep up the awesome work, Dan Dan!“

“delicious food and great service 😋“

“First time at Rosalie we all ordered salads and pizza they were all delicious and the deserts were really good! We sat in lobby and loved the entertainment!! Would definitely come again“

“Food was good. Friendly hole in the wall Latin restaurant. Typical Central American,Mexican,and Puerto Rican food. Sit down tables and a bar area. Upstairs club was closed due to COVID. But the food was surprisingly good for a small humble place in Upper Darby.“

“BOMBA is right up there with some of the great street taco spots you might find in Brooklyn, the Bronx or Queens, or even down in Dallas, or Austin.

The only thing I didn't appreciate was that for Taco Tuesday, it wasn't marked on the menu, there wasn't a list available, of which tacos were included. I had to flag down my waiter and ask him.

Otherwise, like I said, one of the great spots to have a street taco in a sit-down restaurant vibe. If you don't know, now you know.“

“Instead of paying for a round trip Uber we decided to eat at the 1643 lounge at the Delta Hotel. The omelette we ordered was huge, but a bit overcooked, and the breakfast potatoes were really not that fresh (maybe sitting under the warmer too long). However, it did fill us until later in the day. I would suggest not cooking the omelette so long. I assumed that cheese came on the omelette, and if it was there, I couldn’t find it. I would try this place again, if ever in the area. We loved the atmosphere of this place and our server was accommodating.“

“What an interesting place ! I was initially greeted by the ritual greeting of ' let me see if a table is available " . After a slight wait my party of 4 was seated at a booth with a window view. I must admit I was amazed the first time the express train silently flew by. I ordered the Steak and shared the grilled octopus with my husband. The food was excellent, and my server was very pleasant. It was a very cold night however I found the environment very warm and accommodating as our party enjoyed a fabulous bottle of red wine . Our experience overall was quite good and look forward to a Friday happy hour visit !“
