Good Morning! I was very excited to go to this restaurant. We had a 12:00 reservation. We arrived at 11:30 am, and were seated immediately. The waitress provided us with coffee and bread. After that we had to wait almost 20 additional minutes to order. There were only 5 tables that were being served and 2 waitresses, so there was no reason why we couldn’t be served sooner. The one waitress was standing having a full fledged conversation while holding the coffee pot.
When the waitress finally came over, we were already making reservations to some where else. She didn’t ask us why we were leaving. We offered to pay for the coffee but she said we didn’t have too. I’m so disappointed with the lack of service. I was expecting great service since your restaurant was recognized as one of the Best on the Mainline. I realized that if you are not from the area or a particular color that you may have to wait awhile.

Incredible family-owned and operated restaurant. As the lobe vegetarian in our group, I was blown away by the goat cheese veggie pasta. It was an elegant delicious dish, and the cheese was so creamy. The desserts were over the top in the best possible way. Amazing experience, can't wait to come back.

We just returned from our third anniversary dinner in a row at Ryan Christopher's, one of a half dozen or more times we've eaten there. If the fact that we've chosen to spend so many of our anniversaries there isn't a sufficient comment on how much we love eating there, I'll mention that we've never had a single meal that wasn't superb from start to finish. Tonight was no exception: we had Crab Bisque, Crispy Coconut Shrimp, Poached Pear Salad, Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes (Voted best of the Main Line), Grilled Red Snapper Livornese, Coconut Chocolate Cheese Cake, and Blueberry Lattice Pie, each and every one up to the celestial standard of Ryan Christopher's. For those who don't know, the restaurant is family owned and run, from the chef down to the servers. It occupies a corner property in a mostly residential neighborhood in Narberth, PA. The ambiance is more like a homey country inn than a fine restaurant, but a fine restaurant it is: it won the Main Line Tines Readers' Choice for Best BYOB on the Mainline in 2025 -- well deserved. Prices are in line with other top-quality restaurants, but since it's a BYO there's no over-priced liquor, so the bottom line is delightfully reasonable -- and since the portions are very generous, you might find yourself with some scrumptious leftovers for the next day's dinner: we almost always do. Next time you're looking for fine food, at a reasonable cost, in a charming and welcoming atmosphere, give it a try. You won't regret it, and you'll find yourself coming back again.

Simply put, RC's is a perennial contender for the best food around. And a warm environment that makes you happy you just went out. Reasonable prices for what you get. Money we'll spent. Thanks!

Great good and very consistent. Reasonably priced too. Highly recommend.
Food is ahhhhmazing! It's super cute and cozy inside. It's a BYOB so stop at the wine shop first! There's no rushing you, it's family owned and run and you can tell!

A family-run gem off the main streets in Narberth. The food is reliably good, and recently over the top with duck l'orange on the dinner menu. Come for weekend brunch. Come back during the week for dinner
