Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Bryn Mawr

We held our small, book club lunch here to celebrate the holidays. The waitstaff was professional and friendly. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

We were nicely greeted as we walked up to the hostess station. Most restaurants overlook this very important interaction, first opinions matter. We enjoyed the gnocchi (best I’ve ever had), tomato bisque soup, pistachio encrusted salmon, fettuccine bolognese and lastly, the arugula, golden beets and burratta salad…..dang the salad was outstanding! I would remove the artichoke special you had last night(w/melted mozzarella). That dish fell far below the quality of all our other dishes. Our server Rachel was attentive and personable!

Overall, we really enjoy our dinner and experience at Gullifty’s. Thank you!

Overall, it was such a wonderful experience. We had a gift card from the holiday and we have frequent Ted white dog restaurants for many many years.  The hostess seated us next to a table of 15 at 5 PM when the entire restaurant was open and empty or just about and while I understand you place people determine it upon the weight staff. It was literally right next to the group of 15 we just thought that was really odd and they were pretty boisterous. I decided to just get up and let the hostess know. We definitely needed to be seated somewhere else and we did and it was lovely. The chair that my spouse was in was a little bit old and dipped so once they moved that with a new chair everything was great with the table.! The waitress was just lovely. She really was but she was maybe new and definitely slow not in a delivery sense but rather took 35 minutes to take our food order and then kind of checked up on us. Kind of not we love the relaxed vibe of her, but I think it’s OK when you only have five tables to be a little bit more on top of things. We did however enjoy the over two hour dinner experience we usually get in and out in about an hour and a half but then when a bunch of checks were handed out, she took everybody else first when we were the first seated, I thought that was interesting as well Onto the food, which was exquisite great great job with the shrimp cocktail, adding the pickles and beans along with the salsa Verde. I hope this always stays on the menu. It was just divine. I actually can’t wait to go back and just have that. ! Then my main meal was the steak and it was as usual wonderful I love the fact that they serve it with some chicory. My spouse had the meatloaf and French onion soup and both were excellent. It was actually the best meatloaf they’ve ever had with a little bit of crest on the edges. It was just lovely. The desserts were equally excellent usually we do not get them, but they looked nice and we enjoyed it! 🍸🍸🍮🍮🥩🥩🍤🍤
