   In general, I find the food is not as good as in the past and a little less healthy than I expect given current trends. The service was a bright spot, very friendly and accommodating.

   We live by your property in Chadds Ford and have eaten there probably 3 times and each visit were underwhelmed. Last night by chance we tried your property in Malvern Our server was Alania and she was great communicator on the food from menu and confirmed a special that was delightful. We also had short rib that was very good. Interesting with the soup was a toasted crostini that was amazingly good Might I suggest your beer offering to offer maybe a Lager or Pilsner to your beer on tap. I did try a light Mexican beer that I already forgot

We always strive to provide excellent service to all our guests and are happy to hear that you had a great experience with Alana. Our tap beers are on a rotation so hopefully we will have a lager or pilsner for you to try when you visit us again. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

   Great new restaurant. The decor and food were amazing. Could use ways to dampen noise level but other than that, I would definitely return soon!

   Our food was very tasty and the service was great. We made a reservation because it was a very busy place on Friday night.

   Everyone in our group liked their meals. 3 of us had the scallops and shrimp in coconut curry sauce, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the library room atmosphere.

   The burgers are great and so are the apps we’ve tried. Service also great!! Atmosphere beautiful!! However last night I got the avocado wedge salad and it was very disappointing… hardly any avocado or blue cheese crumbles… mostly just lettuce.

   The drinks were very good -- but extremely pricey. I would have had two had they been a bit more affordable. $15.00 for a cocktail is just too dear for me.

   Overall, it is a great place to have dinner. But we were terribly disappointed since we had called ahead two weeks prior to reserve a six top in a back corner room. We were celebrating three birthdays and had been in this back room before and loved it. Unfortunately, the morning of our reservation we had a text come through explaining that the room had been reserved to a different party and other accommodations would be made. We wanted a private area to celebrate, and the first table they put us at was made for a five top not six. So he asked to be moved one more time and they brought us out to a larger room which was OK. The kicker was, that they never assigned a server to us and we had to flag down another waitress After a 15 minute wait with no one showing up. Thereafter, we made the best of it and the service, food in room worked well enough. We will go back and give it another chance, but in the end, we were highly disappointed. PS. Surprisingly they don’t give a free dessert out to the birthday person. 😞

    The food was great, but they brought my husbands meal out with the appetizers so by the time dinner came out it wasn’t as warm. My child’s burger came out without cheese so they took it back and reheated it with cheese.
