   We went to the door only to have the restaurant closed down.

   Unfortunately, we got a fantastic table on the very last night that the black squirrel will be serving dinner. Our server was fabulous and friendly as always. The food was fantastic. We ate the green green salad, tandoori, wings, fish, and chips and had fabulous cocktails! I will miss this place so very much and I’m so sad that they are closing.

   Our server, Ray, couldn’t have been more helpful and kind. He was extremely attentive to us, and his personality was awesome. Food was terrific! We will be back.

   I love this cute little place. They make a great burger. The bun is made in-house, and it’s one of our favorites. The music here is great, and it’s the perfect volume for great conversation! The bar is cute, and people often gather on a weekday to watch the Phillies. We will definitely return, and we recommend it highly.

   First time here. Will definitely be back. Enjoyed the fun drinks and the green salad. We had a hard time choosing what entrees we wanted. But we were both happy with our selections: mussels and clams and short ribs. Yum! Will definitely be back to try more!

    Been here a few times now. Great food and service. And a quaint atmosphere. The menu is somewhat limited and changes seasonally but I always find something tasty to eat. They also have excellent cocktails and other drinks. I've never been into oysters but my sister got me to try some here and oh boy I was happy I did. Their mignonette (?) sauce and cocktail sauce were awesome and really sold me on oysters in general. My only "complaint" is no dessert menu! But I guess they don't get a lot of requests for dessert and it probably doesn't make sense for them from an economic standpoint. All in all highly recommended dining experience and reasonable prices especially considering the high quality of their dining fare and drink.
