Best Bars And Lounges in Bryn Mawr

A perfect pick for our smallish family Thanksgiving dinner. We were stunned by the depth of the menu and the raw bar is probably one of the best I’ve had in a long while. They’ve nailed an elevated menu with comfortable and engaging service in an elegant setting that complements the Philly dynamic - it’s not New York because it doesn’t want to be. Our table lead, Erica, was absolutely amazing, responding to every ask with a yes and here’s something else amazing to go with it. Joe and George were bright spots, making a simple table service and plate clearing an event of their own. Totally and utterly satisfied. We found our new Philly Thanksgiving go-to.

Incredible experience for Thanksgiving thanks so much to the staff for accommodating Allergies and being unrelenting in their delivery of customer service. We always come back because of this experience thanks again. 

The ambiance was relaxing and the decor was stupendous! The food was extremely flavorful as we tried the appetizers and no entree. So collard greens, warm beans and chicken lollipops were all prepared magnificently. But we will be returning to try entrees at a later time. The drinks were very tasty, including the mocktail! The service was very attentive but not overwhelming. The level of music was quite unassuming, so conversations were held without any issue.

Was overall good. Sat us at a table that should not have been a table. We were basically on top of another 2-top and in their conversation, and my wife kept turning off the lights accidentally because the light switch was directly behind her head. I had put in the reservation notes that it was my birthday, and it was never mentioned, and I thought where they sat us was not in line with what 2 people celebrating a birthday would want. Brought us Aqua Panna when they asked if we wanted still or sparkling. That always feels like a money-grab gimmick to me. The default should be to offer tap (which is also still). They include a 20% gratuity automatically, which is fine, but good to know going in. We had oysters and a Caesar salad to start, which were very good. My wife got the lobster ravioli special (delicious) and I got a burger. Burger was pretty good. Heavy on the fried onions. I ordered medium and it came out rare/medium rare, but still tasty. Will go back, but probably not for a special occasion.

I made reservations for a family dinner on Thursday night. We were greeted promptly and shown to our table. Although the rest of my family had been there before, this was my first time. Our server Matthew was friendly and helpful. They have an extensive bar menu as well as Coke products. We had the Street Corn Crab Nachos, boneless wings, cheesesteak, and the chicken sandwich classic. We split an order of crab fries. The portions are not huge and are appropriate sizes. The food was delicious. There are many TVs playing sports. There’s a good vibe. There’s also a parking lot because the restaurant is near a shopping center in Drexel Hill. We’ll definitely be back.
