NOTE: Clock Tower closed shortly after this post. Simple. Organic. Delicious. That’s the tagline for Clock Tower Natural Foods, a small cafe located in the Paoli Plaza shopping center (CVS) in Paoli. The cafe uses all organic foods, whole wheat breads, and no processed ingredients to make baked goods, soups and sandwiches. It’s a cute […]
(now closed) When we arrived at The Handcrafted Cookie Company in Phoenixville, it was about a half-hour before their official opening time, but owner Chad Williams had put out the “OPEN” sign and was getting ready for what was turning out to be a glorious late-summer Friday evening. Just a few seconds after we walked […]
789 E. Lancaster Ave. Villanova , PA 610-527-4888 Maia has closed. Overview: It would take many visits to experience all that Villanova’s Maia, a unique, multi-faceted restaurant that combines cafeteria-style takeout with an American bistro with a Scandinavian-influenced fine dining destination, has to offer. Unfortunately — based on our first visit — a quick return […]
700 W. Nields St. (Rt 52) West Chester, PA (610) 738-8800 Butterfish closed in March 2010. Overall: Creative, modern American BYOs aren’t that hard to find in this area these days, and Butterfish is certainly one of them. This restaurant, however, creates separation with a diverse menu, great execution and a vibrant atmosphere. Food: Innovative, […]
39 West Gay Street West Chester PA 19380 (610) 436-1110 Quick Take: Casual Mexican fare for a quick lunch or dinner. For lunch they have tasty burritos and quesidillas plus a variety of salads.

232 Woodbine Ave. Narberth, PA 610.660.0160 Overall: Margot is a lively neighborhood restaurant with original, creative cuisine that belies the location. Although an early visit showed a few flaws, this restaurant should quickly blossom into one of the finest area BYOBs. Food: Margot claims to be modern-American with flavors that promise bold innovation, and the […]
110 North Wayne Avenue Wayne, PA 19087 610.688.0800 Quick Take: The Freehouse is an english pub-style restaurant and bar in the center of Wayne. It features a small bar area downstairs with limited dining and an upstairs for dining. The pub is completely smoke free and has a good beer selection, including Magic Hat #9 […]
The Big Easy closed in October 2010. Quick Take: We haven’t had a formal dinner at The Big Easy, but have stopped in a few times for drinks and a little food. It’s a New Orleans theme with creole cuisine, a nice beer & wine selection and un-intrusive (from our experience) live music. We did […]
24 North Merion Avenue Bryn Mawr, PA 19010 (610) 527-7700 Rating: 2 silver spoons out of 5 Get a $25 gift certificate for $10 at Restaurant.com! Overview: Another tenant behind the firehouse in Bryn Mawr, another uneven experience. Blush certainly has the potential to be decent, but a first look shows flawed cuisine and service. […]
575 Lancaster Avenue (Route 30) Berwyn, PA 19312 (610) 644-1010 Shares a building with Bistro M. Rating: 4 spoons out of 5 Overview: The Berwynoutpost of this famous Narberth landmark offers the same great Jewish deli fare in a more upscale setting. Food: The new Murray’s sticks to the traditional Jewish deli menu that has […]
