Exit 13 — Restaurant in Radnor Township

We went in for an early dinner and our server forgot a lot and took forever to get to us. There was like no one else in there and our food took ages. My oysters were brought after my entree...dishes not cleared away. The chicken Caesar was strangely sweet? Like a blend of honey mustard or something.. it was weird. The chicken was so dried out it was about a minute away from turning into jerky. The margarita pizza was oily, at first I thought it was olive oil maybe as a garnish but why on top of cheese? They used shredded mozzarella instead of fresh buffalo so basically it’s a cheese pizza with basil. We ordered a couple of bottles of flat water for the table, and a couple of cannoli to go, totally overpriced. We laughed to think we’d spent nearly $30 on 4 cannoli and $16 on 2 bottles of water. Didn’t check the price so that’s on us. Overall disappointing experience and the food quality was subpar for a gastro pub. That being said, I brought the tagliatelle home for my husband and a cannolo ( that’s the correct Italian spelling for one single btw, since they are so adamant about using italian spelling for broccoli “rape” ??.. which is freaking weird, my husband, from the Veneto/Lombardy region of Italy, said he spells it broccoleti di rapa.. so that’s an interesting spelling choice on the owners part) he enjoyed both but the pasta was a bit bland. The cannoli were great, so I added a second star for the decent pasta and...

One and done. The food was subpar and overpriced for such. We ordered a bunch of appetizers. The octopus was beyond dried out and over salty. This is the first restaurant I have been to that doesn't know how to cook octopus. The calamari was lightly breaded which was good, but no seasoning on it and the maranara tasted like it was out of a can. The egglplant was hard and again very bland, no taste to it. The prosciutto on the eggplant was dried out in some portions of it and the mozzarella did not taste fresh. The artichokes were too charred. Very disappointing. The only good appetizer was the stuffed long hots. Our waiter seemed irritated and snappy before we were even seated and continued the same way through the dining experience. Nothing irritates me more than a restaurant being overpriced for subpar food.

This is my response back to the owner's reply to me, since it will not post to this thread, and only show up in my gmail response to the owner.

Not true. I do not have more than one child and she was not screaming, as she is a teenager and well behaved. I was not irritated from the time I walked in, as we were really excited to try your restaurant since we saw it on a TV review and like trying new places. When asked how the food was I said, "Egh/so so." You must have me mixed up with some...

This is our family's favorite restaurant, and there's not really a close 2nd. Great for date night. Great for our kids too. And their party setup is awesome!

We hosted my sons baptism luncheon in the late spring at exit13. We received a ton of compliments on the food, the service, and the overall experience/look of the restaurant. Such a fun day!

We also just did our first catering experience with exit13 two weeks ago for my son's first birthday. Incredible again. A ton of food. All great - pizza, apps, salads, and chicken parm trays. They helped us setup all the food as well. We couldn't ask for more from everyone at exit13. From the ordering process and taking thru how much food to order, all the way to the delivery and setup to ensure all the food was out when our guests arrived for the bday celebration. Figuring out the right amount of food for kids and adult isn't easy, but exit13 made it easy! We had at least half a dozen folks ask about the catering.

We basically look for any excuse to go to Exit13 and will...
