Trattoria San Nicola, Paoli
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 […]
Margot, Narberth
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 […]

Carmine’s Creole Cafe & Blues will open at its new location, 818 W. Lancaster Ave. in Bryn Mawr, on January 16th. In addition to the same authentic Cajun menu of the Carmine’s in Narberth, chef John Mims will also offer lighter fare, a full service bar, a bar menu that features New Orleans staples and […]
Turks Head Inn Closed
West Chester’s Turks Head Inn has closed its doors. The location is currently under renovations and will be an outpost of sports bar Barnaby’s. Although a fun sports bar is always nice to have around, this is a sad day for foodies, as yet another restaurant spot in WC makes way for a chain restaurant […]
Gypsy Saloon, Iron Hill Breweries Go Smoke Free
We’re happy to report that two bar/restaurants in the area have decided to prohibit smoking in all areas of the restaurant. Iron Hill in West Chester (and every other Iron Hill) went smoke-free as of 11/30/06; with both it and Kooma (plus upstairs at Ryan’s before 10), it is now quite easy to have a […]
WC's Teca Expands

The Italian tapas-style appetizers and salads remain on the menu, but fuller meals are now served in the evening and include a selection of fish and pasta dishes. They also feature an extensive international wine and […]
