    Bookbinders is in a lovely historic building which lends charm to its ambience. My husband and I dined there on Christmas Day. Our server was friendly and attentive. I think the food is very good, a bit overpriced since it doesn’t rise to the level of gourmet fare. The owner came by our table to wish us happy holidays and even took pictures of us in front of the large Christmas tree. That was great. Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience and plan to return in 2025.

    We enjoy Bookbinders every time we visit. The ambiance/building, the food and the staff are all wonderful! We used to visit very often, but have moved -- however, we always come back for Thanksgiving & Christmas Dinner & will continue to do so.

    We had a delightful experience. The food was excellent, service outstanding, and ambiance was great. John E. has done a phenomenal job of carrying on the tradition of Old Original Bookbinders. Worth the trip from Philadelphia for a very memorable evening with the family.
