Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Chadds Ford

We loved our private tent meal. Atmosphere could not have been better - unique, intimate, beautiful. Will say that there were many menu items that were out and therefore unavailable to us. This happened the last time we came to Terrain as well. Two entrees we had planned to order were sold out. The wine we chose was also unavailable. As was the dessert we had selected. This was disappointing. The food we ended up with was delicious. Hopefully the problems with inventory will be remedied - we will be back to try again.

Dinner for four on New Year's Day was superb. The seafood platters, clams with linguine, veal piccata, stuffed mushrooms, wedge salad and dessert were delicious and perfectly presented. Drinks were also excellent, and our waiter was very attentive and entertaining. The restaurant was so cozy on a cold winter evening, and we lingered until we were a bit late for our Longwood Christmas entry reservation! All in all, a perfect evening in Chadds Ford. Would highly recommend this iconic restaurant.

Had a good time with good food and nice atmosphere.

Excellent food and service. I highly recommend this restaurant.

As always, Chef Rucker knows how to bring it! The food, service, ambience, music and vibe were all on point. The swordfish belly app, lobster toast, hash browns, crab claws, blue fun tuna, cabbage, scallops, swordfish Milanese, sea bass, ham and squid ink biscuits and chicken were unreal. This is our third visit, and the consistency and quality were outstanding. We’ve probably had every menu item and have been enjoying the changing drinks menu as well. The matcha cocktail is a favorite, can drink it like water! The new mezcal Negroni was delish!!! You have to get the desserts. I crave them constantly now. The granola cremeaux is in my dreams.
