I have been here serveral times. Last night was the first time I sat on the beautiful outside patio. Started at the inside bar, which was tended by John. He is very professional, friendly and accomodating. I rarely order a drink without specific "instructions" as to how I like my drink. He did exactly what I asked, without having a bad attitude, like many bar tenders. The Whiskey sour was delicious and not Pre-made like most bars. I ate, while at the bar, a wonderful Mushroom flatbread. Unlike most flatbreads I have had in the past, this was perfectly done! Correct amount of cheese and mushroom ratio to the bread itself. Nice plump, Fresh, mushrooms, definitely not of the canned variety! No skimping on the shrooms!! My friends joining me got scallops with Risotto and Pork Chop Tenderloin. I tried both. Both dishes were AMAZINGLY crafted by the owner and chef, John! I am not a huge fan of pork chops,usually, but this one was thick, moist and perfectly cooked! I wish I had taken pictures of the food. Everything was right on point! They had a very large crowd on the patio last night, as there was a very good trio playing. I'm not sure they were quite prepared for all of the guests last night, but the owners and staff did a great job tending to everyone's needs, considering the crowd! If you haven't tried this place yet, please do yourself a favor and give it a test run. If you are looking for actual great food from a Delco restaurant, this is the place to find it!! I wish this little gem of a restarurant the best of luck and...
Read moreVisited another new place on the weekend. Taste & Sea Seafood, Steaks, Libations. I had very high hopes since Google Maps reviews are at 4.9 (but I noticed just before we left for dinner that Yelp was at 4.0). Which rating do I agree with? The vibe was okay but I would say mostly reminding me of a seafood place at the shore (“a little too blue”). It also was a little cold throughout the restaurant (although we were told it was 70). Service was excellent (thanks Jayden!). I had the “okay” mushroom soup (slightly lumpy and too much cream; not as good Iron Hill’s Brewery which oddly is my favorite). My entree was Venison Diane with fingerling potatoes and a mustard/mushroom sauce. I liked this very much although ever so slightly under-seasoned but cooked to a perfect temperature. I finished with apple crisp. I told Evan and Ginny that my favorite apple crisp was what we were served in high school, so go figure! This was not that. Mostly oats as the “crisp” and seemed to be lacking the butter and brown sugar to bring the topping together. Evan said his scallops were perfectly cooked but the risotto was only lukewarm and had a really odd taste. Ginny tried a few appetizers and they all seemed fine. The standout she ordered were the scalloped potatoes. I tried some and they were phenomenal!!! So was the experience more Google Maps or Yelp? Definitely more Yelp, but worth...
Read moreJust want to say after reading this post and all the recommendations, we have a list of places the wife and I plan to try. Tonight for our 27th anniversary (we’re not really that old are we?), we chose Taste & Sea Seafood, Steaks, Libations. I can’t speak to which is the best and we all have our opinions, but every part of this evening was perfect. We made reservations, although probably not necessary for Thursday. We arrived early for drinks at the bar. The bartender was great and cocktails were delicious. We checked out the patio that we had reserved but decided inside would be quieter (road noise). The host had no problem switching us and remembered it was our anniversary from the online reservation. Once seated, John our waiter was the perfect mix of attentive and not in our face. He was fun, engaging, and informative. We had lobster bisque and roasted Brussels sprouts for starters. Having lived in the Virgin Islands, the lobster bisque rivaled any 5 star restaurant there. We enjoyed steak, lobster and crab cake for our entrees. Steaks were cooked perfectly. Sides were delicious.
Yes, my steaks on the grill are better 😉 but for a special night out, I can’t recommend Taste & Sea in Glen Mills...
