Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but our experience was not at all like many other people whose reviews are so positive, and I am not really picky about such things. The restaurant has great decor and it really is a picture perfect setting.
My family and I went there for brunch and ordered a combination of some omelettes, sandwiches, and coffee/tea/orange juice, etc.
By the time the eggs came out, they were practically cool, the water for the tea and coffee was lukewarm, not hot. The fries were almost cold, and the chips were so few that I was laughing. Beautiful presentation, but hardly anything on the plate, a lot of style, but little substance.
Normally when you make omelettes, the seasonings are supposed to be mixed into them, but it was completely bland, and sprinkling salt and pepper on a sunny side egg might work, but not the same on an omelette.
The servers and hosts were extremely polite and friendly, so I don't blame the food on them, but the food did take quite a while (about 30+ minutes) to come out. Maybe it as done earlier and sitting on a counter, waiting to be brought to us.
But given the money we spent (for two adults and a child), I am not sure...
Read moreWhile I’ve dined here several times and always enjoyed my experience, I want to specifically review a wonderful reception I hosted at The Silverspoon recently. We were baptizing my son at a Villanova and were looking for a nearby venue for a post baptism brunch. Rich and Ruth were very quick to respond and very accommodating. They offered to stay open for my party of 22 between the brunch and dinner hours on that Sunday and worked with me and their chef to create a three course menu that would suit my party! The service day of was excellent! Servers not only kept up with ordered drinks and food, but also kept refilling our glasses with our byo beverages. Everybody was also very friendly and cognizant of the several party members who had dietary restrictions. Afterward, my family would not stop talking about how good all the food was from the coffee, to the mushroom soup, to all the delicious desserts. I was very happy with my choice to have lunch here and will look for future opportunities...
Read moreIt was our first time here and we absolutely loved it. We had reservations for outside and prior to our reservation we received a call letting us know we were confirmed for outdoor seating as we requested however they did not have heat lamps and asked if that was okay and if not we could sit inside. We really appreciated the courtesy call and chose to still sit outside. Once we got to restaurant was seating immediately and Michael our waiter greeted us and introduced himself and repeatedly thanked us for coming since it was our first time dining there. His recommendations were spot on. The food and service was impeccable beginning with the starters and ending with dessert. Michael even surprised us with a free takeout container of the mushroom bisque which we loved and raved about. Michael our waiter went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this restaurant and we will...
