Best Historic Restaurants in Willow Grove

Sunday night so not all that busy at the Jarrettown Inn. Staff was great and gave us just the right amount of attention. The daily specials were all great choices and the chosen was done to perfection. Had a great time and definitely would return Only changes I would recommend would be to the appetizers and small plate dishes that would be starters or happy hour offerings. Would love to see offerings that were more in line with comfort food leaning towards maybe an Italian twist to regular American fair. On way home from the office the Jarrettown would be a great place to have a cocktail and nosh on some not so formal offerings while chatting with friends.

We had a wonderful experience. We were seated as soon as we arrived. The hostess was very friendly and wished my husband a happy birthday. Our server, Justin greeted us shortly after we were seated and took our drink order. The drinks arrived quickly and were perfect. The food we ordered was delicious and arrived hot and in a short amount of time. Our server was very attentive and checked on us multiple times throughout the evening. We never felt rushed.

As far as Christmas decor, just beautiful. The food was good but I am partial to my food being hot. Some of the chafing dishes were lukewarm. The pastry chef outdid her/him self! Our party was 4 adults and we all enjoyed the hot chocolate bar. We were all satisfied.

We returned to LaStrada a second time because of the deliciously prepared food. As I mentioned in a previous post, it would have been nice if they had heated up the Italian bread when they brought it to the table instead of room temperature bread. Also I did not like the fact that the servers are all constantly trying to clear diners’ plates before everyone has finished their meals. I definitely felt rushed while I was eating my salad and the server wanted to take the plate from the person sitting next to me who had just finished their salad. Same thing happened while I was still eating my dinner. It’s not proper to clear the table when not everyone has finished that course. Other than that complaint, everything was excellent!

We were seated in the Fireplace Room as requested in our reservation. Waiter was very professional and knowledgeable about the menu. The food continues to be well prepared. During the winter you do need to dress warmly.
