1091 Lancaster Ave. Berwyn, PA 610.725.9000 Rating: 4 Silver Spoons out of 5 Overview: Big, bold, (think Philadelphia’s Steven Starr) Asian Fusion comes to the Main Line. Nectar, a large, stone, $5 million dollar palace, rises out of nowhere just after passing through Berwyn (traveling West) on Lancaster Ave. Chef Patrick Feury (who opened the […]
610-341-8162 Rating: 3 silver spoons out of 5 Overview: Cozy Thai BYOB gem serving excellent steaks and Thai cuisine. Food: Although there are many traditional Thai dishes on the menu, two menu items steal the show: Filet Mignon and the red curry sauce. First off, you can order the filet several ways: red wine reduction, […]
128 Ford St. Conshohocken, PA 610-828-8494 Rating: 3 silver spoons out of 5 Overview: Stylish neighborhood bar/restaurant with creative American cuisine. The Gypsy Saloon is run by the same people as Stella Blu in Conshy (former owners of Bella Luna in Bryn Mawr). The saloon delivers a solid meal in a fun, comfortable atmosphere. Food: […]
105 Coulter Ave. Suburban Square Ardmore, PA Rating: 2 silver spoons out of 5 Overview: The notion behind Plate is reasonably priced, comfort food — something that isn’t really available on the Main Line today. Unfortunately, this idea falls a bit flat due to uninspired food and inconsistent service. Food: The menu at Plate looks […]
312 S. High St. West Chester, PA 610.436.4100 Rating: 3 silver spoons out of 5 Overview: Quaint, romantic neighborhood BYOB with an ambitious menu and solid delivery. Food: Appetizers are customary of this type of place — i.e. the Portabella & Goat Cheese Tart and the Tuna Carpaccio. The tuna was a decent choice but […]
Gay St. (Across the street from Iron Hill Brewery) West Chester, PA 610-431-0770 Rating: 2 silver spoons out of 5 Overview: A chain Irish pub in the center of West Chester. Crowded and noisy on the weekend, but manageable for a slightly older crowd. Food: Irish Pub fare — Sandwiches, Fish & Chips, Guinness Stew, […]
124 N. Wayne Ave. Wayne, PA 19087 610-293-9909 Rating: 4 silver spoons out of 5 Overview: Possibly the perfect neighborhood restaurant – good food, great service, nice people. Highly Recommended. Food: Italian bistro fare, with pastas, pizzas, and a solid selection of meat entrees. The pastas are uniformly excellent and the highlight of the menu. […]
863 Lancaster Ave. Bryn Mawr, PA (!) Rumors abound that The Grog will be opening additional locations in Garrett Hill and Wayne. Rating: 3 silver spoons out of 5 Overview: Upscale bar with food to match. Don’t expect fine dining at The Grog, but do expect a comfortable atmosphere with some of the area’s best […]
292 E. Conestoga Rd Wayne, PA (610) 687-1345 Rating: 3 silver spoons out of 5 Overview: By day, the best breakfast/lunch joint in the area. Breakfast: Nudy’s creative spin on comfort food is a step above standard diner fare in the area. It’s difficult to choose incorrectly with a wide variety of specialty pancakes, french […]
308 Fayette Street Conshohocken, PA (610) 567-0366 Rating: 3 silver spoons out of 5 Overview: A nice neighborhood BYOB with occasionally good but inconsistent food. The menu is highly ambitious, but never quite reaches the heights the menu descriptions suggest. The menu is a 3-course prix fixe, but is reasonably priced ($28.50 per person). Food: […]
