Michael Horner From start to finish, this was a wonderful experience. My girlfriend and I stopped in today after a swim meet. We were pleasantly surprised at how awesome this place was. Old time pub atmosphere and very inviting. Our server was everything we could have asked for. Personable, attentive, and all-around good at her job. Sorry, her name escapes me. Then the food came. The deviled eggs were a great starter and got us excited for the rest of the food. She had the Ruben, and I had the butcher burger. Everything was cooked perfectly. I would love to go back for dinner sometime soon. Go check this place out in your in the area. Note: I cut the burger in half before I took the picture. Got excited lol.

Justin Barrett I love Saloon, this is my go to place for wings and whiskey. Their wings are top notch! They have tons of whiskey to pick from too! The only complaint I have is the volume of the music, it is LOUD. But overall a great spot.

Brian Duffy OK.. this is in West Chester??? This place is a gem! Went in on a Thursday night & as soon as i opened the door the wonderful scent of happiness wafted out the door… the food, the wood fired pizza oven.. THE MAN CROONING LIKE FRANK & DEAN in the middle of a huge crowd of people! The crooner made our experience that much more fun! My partner and i were stoked to eat here after meeting the owner We ordered the artichokes as an app! Great presentation, needed a touch more seasoning but was tasty The rigatoni Fiorrella was so tasty.. i ordered it with extra shroomies because i love them, the sauce was perfectly seasoned, the pasta a textbook experience in Al Dente My partner had the Penne Alla vodka. A classic simple sauce with so much flavor & again that perfectly cooked pasta!! Dessert was the tiramisu.. expertly soaked fingers, the mascarpone whipped and delicious as a perfect way to end a great meal The Nona Bartender was so sweet, a persecco & a glass of cab was all that was needed to round out such a great experience!!

Al .Martino Haven’t been here in years and we had an amazing, affordable, delish, birthday dinner. From the hostess to the bartenders, wait staff and manager everything was exceptional. Thank you for making our dinner special!!

Marco Acevedo Drove up from Wilmington to meet some friends who raved about this place. As much as they talked it up, it did NOT disappoint. We started with just about every appetizer on the menu and they were ALL amazing! The meals were equally awesome! The kitchen did not shy from a few adjustments to entrees, which was nice! Do not pass on the tiramisu!! Cant wait to come back to try other entrees!

Keirstin Miles The food was great! But the visit was made unforgettable by our server Sara. She was serving like 7 tables at once, while seating people at the same time, but still managed to be attentive, funny and informative for us first timers. When we come back for the charred octopus & crab capellini [add shrimp] we’ll be sure to request Sara!

Gwen Courtney My friend, Kathy, and I picked this restaurant from the list on Google maps for West Chester. We came in after the Friday lunch rush. We started with an appetizer of Flash Fried Brussel Sprouts which were fabulous! I brought 1/2 of them home with me along with the half of the Chicken and Hot Italian Sausage with peppers, penne pasta, and a tomato broth that I wasn’t able to finish. I’m quite certain Kathy’s selection of the shaved prime rib sandwich with sweet potatoes tater tots worked very well for her. Actually, I really wanted to save 1/2 of my lunch for my husband after our 2.5 hour drive home since I knew he would love both and I wouldn’t have to cook dinner for him! Win win! The service was excellent and I appreciated the music and conversation with both of the gentlemen that served us! We really lucked out with our restaurant selection! Thank you, again!

Tam If I could eat here everyday for the rest of my life, I would. That’s how much we loved it. The soup was such a beautiful medley of flavors that really warms your soul. The gentleman (I believe he’s the owner?) was a delight. He answered our questions and took the time to chat with us. I felt like I was a guest in someone’s home. The momo are fresh and packed with flavor. If you have a good spice tolerance, the habanero sauce is not to be missed. On your way out, take a milk tea for the road, you won’t regret it. Everything is halal and they have vegetarian and vegan options. We found this place by chance on our travels and I can’t wait to pass back through the area just to have another meal here.

Mariann Winkelman This BYOB Cajun restaurant is a gem. The blackened shrimp, chicken, and scallops over dirty rice was delicious—intense flavor all around. Coming in a close second was the blackened red snapper over shrimp jambalaya. The jambalaya is gluten free naturally—a win for those with a gluten allergy. Bring a bottle of Malbec to enjoy your meal and you’ve got a perfect way to end the day.

Kay Dai One of my new favorite places. They do everything well and with a freshness and passion. I tried a good amount of dishes here with my fiancé and am impressed which is difficult given my high standards for breakfast. This was the best restaurant bacon I’ve ever had! It was fried perfectly like it was slow and home cooked. Evenly crisp not just warmed and burnt under the broiler. The eggs were fresh and pancakes were fluffy yet crispy, something I never get to experience with pancakes and opt for French toast but did not have to do that here. The server was friendly, quick and efficient. Beverages were good and atmosphere was barn-y adding to the farm fresh theme. We loved it and would return again. It gets very busy but they seat quickly. The one deterrent is that exiting their parking lot is a little risky based on the location but it is worth it for the meal. I’m excited to try everything, not sure if they have cocktails/ alcohol but not a big deal. Highly recommend.

Brittany Braun Bar Avalon always delivers! The food, service, and ambiance are consistently amazing. We tried the wine and dinner pairing for the first time last night and were blown away—perfectly matched courses and a knowledgeable waitress made it a standout experience. A perfect date night. We’ll definitely be doing it again!

Anand Excellent restaurant. Their main attraction is bagel but they are not limited to those choices. We got some Avocado toast on a bagel and it was absolutely delicious. Their bagel chips are amazing. Their salad was also great. Definitely try their latte, they make it very well. We got their bagels to go and it was amazing. Unlike other bagels, if you get a flavored one, example garlic, you will find garlic on both sides of the bagel. Especially if you want share it with someone. Why wouldn’t you split it someone, the bagels are huge. Their cream cheese is also fantastic. Anyway, I highly recommend going to this place for breakfast. Their servers are friendly and the atmosphere is inviting. I can’t wait to visit there again.

MICHELLE COPE We had a very nice dinner. Will was an excellent and attentive server who offered suggestions and feedback so we chose the perfect entrees. We loved you could choose your own pasta. All made fresh BTW!

Ivan P Thank you to the Fellini Café for hosting “A Night in Rome” with the accordion performer Nick D. My father absolutely loves accordion music and it was a special night out with the family. The food was excellent - long hots, risotto, pumpkin ravioli and shrimp, the steak(cooked perfectly) cheesecake and limoncello flute. Bonus points for gluten free options. We will be back!

Gabrielle Richardson I went here for dinner and I ordered the Scottish Salmon, which was absolutely amazing. It was still early evening. But the vibes were nice and the service was quick. I thoroughly enjoyed my food, and can’t wait to go for another visit soon! Update, I couldn’t help but go back for a second night in a row and the food and service lived up to the previous night. A special shoutout to Mackenzie who was such an amazingly attentive and friendly server both nights. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone in West Chester.
