   We made this reservation based on the Philadelphia Inquirer's recommendation of great BYOBs on the Main Line. The food was delicious, and our server was incredibly polite. However, the time to take our order and the time in between different parts of the meal were both incredibly long. Our reservation was for 6:30, and we finished everything at 8:45. Worst of all, the server hovered over me as I paid the bill, which we understand is something that's taken hold in the past few years but is annoying. In addition, the suggested tip of 20% was calculated incorrectly, as the handheld machine based it on the total bill (including tip).

   My wife and I had a great time at The Choice last night. We ran into friends and ended up sitting with them. The food and service were both excellent. This is a real BYO gem in Bryn Mawr.!

   It's been several months since we last ate at The Choice and after leaving there last night I was wondering why I waited so long to return. Excellent food and highly recommended.

   What a gem this place is... the menu has plenty of options and every single item is delicious, fresh, excellently made. I've been here several times and it never disappoints. I love that it's BYOB too.

   What a wonderful dining experience! Chef outdid himself!! The ambiance is inviting and warm, the staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming and the food…amazing!! We ordered an appetizers…a cold crispy rice with tuna tartar that was just fantastic. Our entrees were Duck with a coffee, orange caramel redux…flavors that subtly exploded and the duck was as tender and moist as butter! The menu is extensive with plenty of choices from fresh fish to steak and venison, best fries ever, and fabulous creamy leeks. This is a great restaurant for a celebration dinner or for a relaxing evening of great food and conversation with friends and family!!
