Best Wine Bars in Glenside

My husband and I were here for what turned out to be a fabulous lunch. He had the mushroom bisque and stuffed mushrooms. His comment was ‘wow’! They were both delicious as was his Bulleit Old Fashion. I had the butterfish with the sides that originally came with the sea bass. Totally wonderful! I highly recommend the butterfish. We each had dessert and my husband had espresso. Our waitress, Megan, was also terrific. We will be coming back before the menu changes and I’ll definitely have the butterfish again.

CAPITAL GRILLE, KoP , remains overall my top place in the greater PHILA area. Always seated promptly in our requested area, the service is routinely pleasant, and most competent. The food was excellent as always.Starting with the small Seafood Tower (just my son and me )we enjoyed the 6 shrimp, oysters, and lobster claws, all with appropriate sauces, immensely. We love the crab meat cocktail so much that we ordered that as well. It was outstanding per usual. The main course was , naturally, steak. Filet for him, my usual KONA for me. Both prepared to perfection and most satisfying. Dessert was creme brûlée and chocolate cake. Perfect finale to a super meal.

My server Natalie was phenomenal, as well as the food, drinks and every other aspect of the meal (such as timing of courses, server and support staff presence, etc.) felt very welcomed and warm while there with everyone I interacted with, which is a rare quality in my opinion. Highly recommend!

We visited Amada during Philadelphia restaurant week. We arrived for our reservation slightly early and were seated in the back room, where it was rather dark and chilly. We moved to another table away from the windows for warmth and light. However, when we ventured back into the main restaurant it was substantially warmer, cozier, and more vibrant. Few other tables were occupied in the back so the ambience was disappointing. The food was fabulous so here's the tip: ask to be seated in the main area or sit at the bar and get served your food there!

Everything we ate and drank was superb. Waitress was attentive and nice. Cold seafood platter was great way to kick things off and $70 for 4 people at high-end restaurant was reasonable. Onion bread in bread basket was a dream come true as was the French onion soup. Honestly that would have been more than enough food and was glad both couples split their steaks as that saved money and was plenty of food. No one left hungry. I wasn’t thrilled with the bottles of wine offered - but found one that was within my budget that we enjoyed. Chocolate flourless cake was split amongst us / and one bite was perfect way to end delicious meal. Only other weirdness was giant black heaters? that really detracted from ambiance of rooms. What’s that about?
