The former John Harvard’s location in Wayne/Devon has been taken over by 2 seasoned pros/vets in the restaurant biz – Joe Carney (Carney’s Cape May) and Steve Finley (Finley Catering). Both partners, who live locally, are very excited about bringing their new concept to the Main Line . . . which will be a tailor […]
Some good info on Villanova’s upcoming Maia (May 6!) in the Inquirer’s blog: A Look at Maia
The Main Line’s version of Restaurant Week kicks off Monday with $30 3 or 4-course meals at places like Yang Ming, Bistro Cassis, Meridith’s and Cosimo. Personally, we’ve never found this “deal” to be a particularly good one, especially when the restaurant limits their menu, (plus, who orders 4 courses by themselves, ever?), but that […]
J.R. Monaghan’s, a sports bar with 13 plasmas from the Brownie’s 23 East owner, recently opened at 30 E. Lancaster Ave. in Ardmore. Best part — it’s smoke free! Owner Joe Rufo suggests that Brownie’s might not be far behind on that front, assuming things go well here.
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. Service is very plesant and attentive. Lunch $7-15. Feel free to view reader comments or add your own review.
Conshohocken’s Stella Blu has retooled, updating their menu to move away from traditional Italian and focusing on small and large plates with a Euro flair. Nightly specials will feature fresh fish and premium grilled meats. [SB menu] (pdf) Also, the owners of Stella Blu and Gypsy Saloon (and former owners of Bryn Mawr’s Bella Luna) […]
Due to reader requests, we’ve added a page for Yang Ming reviews. Since we haven’t eaten there in several years, we kept this to a “quick take” review. Enjoy!
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 […]
After a short run, Lew’s NY Deli is closed in Paoli. Personally, we had hit or miss experiences there, loving the “Fancy Schmancy” and the “Einstein”, but not really liking the pastrami (there’s something wrong with that, of course). At least we still have Murray’s!
