Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Chestnut Hill

Good place for a meal before a show across the street.

We had come into Philly to enjoy some holiday shopping and I thought Dandelion would be a nice, cozy spot for lunch on a cold December day. It was perfect! We were shown to a lovely corner booth upstairs where every table was full, but the noise level was a non-issue. Bella proved to be a knowledgeable and professional server and had good suggestions regarding beverages and menu selections. I enjoyed the salmon pate and my husband's burger was terrific. It was the typical Stephen Starr restaurant experience: creative, authentic decor; well-trained professional staff; and great food.

Food was good but part of my main dish was cold. My waiter was a little slow but he was handling two different sections. The manager did ask how was our dinner but I didn’t feel like going into the issues above because by this time we were done eating. I prefer the Huntington Valley location. Never had any issues there. I would give this location another try because in the past I had a much better experience. Even had my bridal shower here 8 years ago and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Never disappointed eating at Butcher Bar. The best is the Ribeye cheesesteak. Unfortunately, it is only a special -- please add to the daily menu.

This was a wonderful surprise find on a busy Saturday night! The menu is full of interesting items (we shared the spinach artichoke drip - so yummy!)the restaurant was decorated and festive for the holidays and our server was wonderful. We will definitely be back!
