Best Steak Restaurants in Pennsylvania

DEPAULs is among our favorite restaurants. Centrally located in ARDMORE with convenient valet parking, it is a most pleasant atmosphere with a wide ranging menu and top quality service. We had crab cocktail, caesar salad, salmon, lamb chops and sides including spinach and haricots verts. Drinks -both cocktails and wines- are well prepared and fine quality. Desserts -we had cheesecake and the brownie a la mode- were delicious as well. We had been to DEPAUL several times before . It has been consistently very high quality. My only complaint is that the prices on all items continue to rise. This may be necessary to maintain business profits, but are still getting a bit out of hand. (lamb chops for 64 dollars?). Despite that ,however, we all (4 of us) had a most enjoyable meal with the basic elements of food/service/atmosphere all top quality. We will be back for sure -hopefully prices will not continue to increase each time we return

Really nice lunch, food and wine was great and they were very tolerant of our babies during a non-busy time at the restaurant!

We dined here Tuesday night. It is the prettiest restaurant in the area. The food was very good. White bean dip, Misto Fritto and Pasta. Everything was delicious. The sound level was really good… you could actually hear each other! We really enjoyed it.

Nice place, nice people. Kitchen was slow but food was delicious and served hot (not just surface hot, but hot throughout and stayed hot through the meal like it was cooked at the exact right temperature and then served to us at the precise right moment). Cold beer & tasty drinks topped off the meal. My recommendation is to check out the menu and if you see something you like, go there. You will not be disappointed.

It was our first time at Hook and Ladder but it won't be our last. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was lovely. We were one of the first tables of the night to be seated and I wasn't thrilled about being placed right across from the restroom but that was the only negative aspect of our evening. The spicy tuna starter was amazing and I had the Chilean Sea Bass signature dish which was out of this world! My husband had a steak and caesar salad both of which he raved about, and we shared the creamed spinach which was also delicious. We were so full that we couldn't even attempt dessert. Definitely a place we will visit again!!
