restaurant reviews in main line, wayne, malvern, paoli, bryn mawr, villanova, devon, berwyn, rosemont, ardmore, lower merion, wynnewood, gladwyne, narberth and other philadelphia suburbs.
Quick Take: Though one can’t always judge a restaurant purely on its burger, the one we had at The Paddock certainly suggests that someone in the kitchen knows what they are doing. It was a perfectly cooked medium-rare, charred on the outside and pink throughout — one of the best we’ve had in the area. […]

5 Brookline Blvd., Havertown 610-446-2780 Reviewed by our friends The Dining Duo in the Trend. (Sorry, review has been removed — If the Carnivore sends it to us, we’ll post it here!)
Conestoga & Haverford Roads (1051 Conestoga Road) Bryn Mawr, PA 19010 610-527-3200 Quick Take: Yangming’s 15+ year reign at the corner of Conestoga and Haverford in Bryn Mawr speaks enough to its popularity and consistency. Serving elegant, well-prepared traditional Chinese cuisine, Yangming is a great place for eat-in or take-out. It’ll cost a bit more […]
125 Market Street 484-760-6100 Quick Take: Pietro’s Prime, an upscale steak house operated by the owners of longtime Chester County market Giunta’s, is now open in the former Murray’s Deli space in West Chester. Went to Pietro’s for lunch, and it was ok. The space itself is gorgeous (though they owe much of this to […]
309 Lancaster Ave. (Westgate Plaza) Frazer (Malvern), PA (610) 240-9930 Rating: 3 Silver Spoons out of 5 Overall: Excellent Thai cuisine in an elegant but casual setting. Also offers take-out. Food: Traditional Thai dishes with a touch of innovative flair makes Royal Thai Orchid one of the best destinations for Thai in the area. Start […]
119 Fayette St Conshohocken, PA 19428 610-397-0888 Overall: Trendy, creative Conshohocken BYOB with loads of potential. Unfortunately, the cuisine and execution at Blackfish are too inconsistent to rate it among the area’s finest. Food: Creative Modern American fare with a focus on seafood. Everything started brilliantly during our first visit to Blackfish. Wonderful whole wheat […]
4799 WC Pike, Edgemont 610.353.4871 Italian BYOB on West Chester Pike in Edgemont. A recent review by “The Dining Duo” (in the Trend) suggests that it is a Fellini Cafe-type joint, with simple, inexpensive Italian fare. I didn’t get the feeling that the Duo was overly impressed, but then again it seems like a popular […]
4 Manor Rd. Paoli, PA 610.695.8990 Rating: 2 silver spoons out of five Overall: San Nicola serves traditional Italian food that is well-prepared but lacks creativity. It is absolutely a reasonable neighborhood restaurant for a weekday meal, or someplace to take a larger group where everyone will be satisfied. For a special night, however, the […]
19 E. Lancaster Ave. Paoli, PA 19301 610.644.6767 NOTE: The Paoli location has closed. There are several other Fellini Cafes in the area, though not all are the same ownership group. Rating: 2 spoons out of 5 Overview: A micro-chain also located in Berwyn and Ardmore, Fellini is a wildly popular Italian BYOB. The buzz […]
