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.

“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!“

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

“Jockey Tavern was perfect for a large family gathering of 20 people. It was a last minute reservation but they were able to accommodate us and gave us our own room that was the perfect size. Food is great and there are many options to please lots of people. Standouts were chicken Marsala risotto, ribs, deviled eggs and lettuce cod wraps.“

“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!❤️“

“Most pre-fix menus are smaller portions of the regular menu but not here. The caesar salad was big as well as 2 pieces of sea bass. The bread pudding was enough for 2 people. Well worth the price. For a Sunday night, i was surprised it was not busy. Definitely will be going back.“

“Our first visit will def be back!!! Chilli was amazing. I asked for something not on the menu a Turkey Special. They had a CornBeef special on the menu. It was the most delicious Turkey special ever. The coleslaw was amazing, the turkey was fresh Turkey ,the bread so fresh !!!! Our waitress was so sweet and accommodating. Can’t wait to go back !!!“

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

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

“We had our second visit to the stables last night. We experienced their new menu. Being gluten-free I really appreciated the options. My boyfriend also loved his meal and dessert! Both times we’ve been there we’ve experienced some of the really awesome staff. From the great manager to the servers, specifically, Hannah and Jack.“

“Had the spinach and white pizza - and being from New York, it was very good. My husband had on the bone wings dry and loved them. My son had the kids cheeseburger and fries, and actually ate the entire meal even with having the pretzel bites appetizers. Pretzel bites tasted fresh. Cheese sauce tasted like melted white American, which wasn’t bad, but it was definitely heated up prior to the pretzels being ready. My husband had the VK original IPA, which he liked, but he definitely enjoyed my Dreadnought IPA better. Specials on a Sunday for beer and appetizers, which was a nice surprise. They also have a special on Sunday for when you purchase a pizza, you get a kids pizza free.“

“We had a great time at this establishment. The only problem was that we did not get out appetizers. They gave us 2 complimentary dishes though so it fine. Our waitress was never actually there and we always had to ask someone else to order. The tiramisu was a bunch of cream, a little bread, and straight coffee. The pizza was great 😊“

“Had a great time celebrating my son’s 20th birthday 🎂. We had a party of 12, fast serve, great food. Highly recommend!“

“Staying in town for a couple of nights to visit Longwood Gardens, kinda dumbed into choosing Letty's seeking a diverse menu.

Honestly, we liked the many dishes that included mushrooms. We are big fans and when in mushroom country like this, you have to take advantage.

The craft beer selection is good, cocktail list looked very tempting and there is a decent wine selection. We enjoyed Tired Hands Crushable Church. A good hazy with under 5% ABV.

We started with the mushroom arancini, which were delicious. Came as a set of 3 small arancini, perfect for two people.

I enjoyed the mushroom pizza which is a flavorful combination of fontina cheese, mixed sautéed mushroom blend and sautéed sliced mushrooms. Crust was crispy and crunchy. Good combination. My wife enjoyed the mushroom Po Boy sandwich, also a good choice.

They do pass the 3% credit card fee onto the customer just so you are aware.

Overall it was a good choice and a delicious meal. When we return to the area, we will definitely make sure we eat here again.“

“First time at Bomba. Amazing! Our server Gwen was alot of fun and did a great job explaining and directing us on what we should order. Their food is made to order and fresh made. No goopy cheese dip here.

The chips and hard shell tacos are terrific and created in house. Great selection of margaritas and beers. Lots of tv’s for us sports fans and a big outdoor area for kids. Chill vibe. Get here now!“
