Triple Crown — Restaurant in Radnor Township

So, I do feel guilty giving them a 3-star when their service is so good and the atmosphere is great. And you can tell that everyone there wants to provide a great experience. A few things before I mention the food "issues" I've had there in my two visits.

One, the runners don't seem to care about bringing a spoon for the soup or a fresh set of silverware for the new course after the old silverware was taken away, making us wait for silverware for a few minutes, or ask for silverware, which is unusual at a nice restaurant. Also, and this is more of a high-end restaurant thing, but I don't want to tell the person bringing my food which item/s I am getting. That's their job to know and to place it properly. It's something that good servers will indicate on the order, which food goes to which seat.

To the food now. The first time I went, I enjoyed it, but the loaded baked potato was perfect until I tasted the bacon, which had a vinegar sauce it was mixed into. That flavor combo is disgusting/off-putting and the manager agreed with me, as well as my dinner guest. Yuck!

The main issue I have (besides the fact that the chef is trying, unsuccessfully, to reimagine many of the classic/traditional dishes that they make, and don't do them well when they get creative) is that not only does the chef not know how to properly cook a steak, but the server/s do not know how to identify each steak temperature. And before I go further, believe me when I say I am a steak guy and drop a pretty penny at nice steakhouses every couple of months. We ordered a medium-rare prime rib, and my guest asked that it get cut close to the medium side. This isn't something you would ask from a standard ribeye or such steak, but it can kind of be done in a prime rib as this roast is done with a slight scale of doneness as you get down the roast. Instead of it being a medium or medium-rare, it was about as rare as you could get, to the point (and I used to really like rare steaks, but not so much now) that I couldn't eat more than half of it. It was colder than rare, and we pointed that out to the server and a manager. They were kind enough to bring us out a partial cut of a prime rib, and said that it was more medium. It was definitely not, rather it was still very rare. Neither the service staff/manager nor the chef could identify medium rare from rare, or even medium from rare! Not only that, but apparently the kitchen doesn't even make a medium-rare or medium option with a prime rib, or they would have brought that out with the "fix".

Anyhoo, I like much of what I ordered there. Not really a big fan of their reimagined horseradish as it's just not as good as the real thing. And definitely won't order the prime rib again (or maybe even a steak). This "steakhouse" is in for a lot of problems after the initial shine wears off with the community if they can't get their dishes done correctly. Maybe stop reimagining dishes. A traditional steakhouse is definitely needed in the area considering Sullivan's is okay and then next closest one is a chain...

It was our very first time visiting this restaurant at the Radnor hotel and we had an absolutely "phenomenal" experience.

As soon as we entered the restaurant our jaws dropped because it was absolutely beautiful and really stood out amongst the other restaurants in the area. The hostess gave us such a warm greeting and showed us to a beautiful table in one of their dining rooms. Our server Simon came over, introduced himself, had a big smile on his face and welcomed us to the restaurant. That really made us feel at home right away.

While we were enjoying our cocktails we were chatting with Simon and really got to know him very well. You could tell that he really loved his job, was passionate about working at this restaurant and knew the menu inside and out. He had an awesome sense of humor which really entertained us all evening.

We ordered the heirloom tomatoes, the shrimp cocktail and Caesar salad. My guest that ordered the Caesar salad was raving over it and thought it was one of the best that she's ever had. We then ordered the truffle bordelaise and two orders of the Branzino. They were plated so beautifully & it all tasted awesome. We thought the stuffed hashbrowns that Simon described and recommended to us were just out of this world and such a unique addition to the menu. The heirloom tomatoes were absolutely fantastic as one of our appetizers, so much so, we ordered it again as one of our sides. We ordered the chocolate layer cake and sorbet for our desserts. Thank you Simon for the complementary dessert it was very much appreciated.

Eva, the manager came over a couple of times during our dinner to check on us. She was absolutely delightful and had a great sense of humor like Simon. Thanks to Eva, Simon and the chef because this was one "over the top" dining experience that we will talk about for many months to come. I can't wait to bring all of our friends back so they can have the same experience. Thank you...

My husband and I chose Triple Crown for our Saturday date night last week—and it did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by more than five staff members, all radiating positivity and genuine hospitality.

Arriving a bit early, we headed to the spacious, luxe bar for a pre-dinner drink. Bartender Mike was both friendly and efficient in taking our orders. The zero-proof Hibiscus Piña Colada tasted like a tropical vacation in a glass. (Worth noting: there are four non-alcoholic cocktails on the menu—a thoughtful and refreshing touch.)

When we were seated, our superb server Maria greeted us both by name, mentioning that several team members recognized us from other Fearless Restaurants we’ve visited. That personal acknowledgment and attention to detail are exactly what set this place apart.

We began with the wedge salad, which was beautifully presented and just as fresh and flavorful as it looked. For mains, we chose the TC Smash Burger and the traditional Filet Mignon. Both were delicious, though the filet truly reached new heights once paired with a side of béarnaise—absolutely worth the addition. Our loaded baked potato side was generous enough for two and perfectly prepared.

A special shoutout goes to Corey, one of the team members who initially greeted us. He checked in throughout the evening and was an absolute highlight—funny, engaging, and effortlessly charming with both kids and adults. He clearly brings a spark to every room he enters.

We’ll definitely be back. Triple Crown is a fantastic new addition to the Main Line dining scene, and we're lucky to have it in...
