Post Valentines dinner with grandkids. Our server Colleen was fantastic. Apps were very good. French onion soup wonderful as always. Shrimp lejon a bit overcooked but the cheesesteak eggrolls were a big hit. Kids each had pizza, and hubs and I opted for sandwiches which were both yummy. Truffle fries were awesome.

This was one of my favorite restaurants I’ve been too in the southeast PA area, Philly and media included. The food came out extremely fast and was fine dining quality with unique dishes. The beef tartare, lobster crepes, duck entre, and fried cheesecake were all amazing. They also accommodated our 1 year old daughter with a high chair.

Simple Irish Menu. Too many potatoes for my taste. Irish stew was tasty, but 80% potato and three bites of meat. Giant potato wedges, with one thin piece of fish in the fish and chips, again tasted fine, just overwhelmed by potato.
