Lorna was our server and she was unbelievably engaging and charismatic. Coming from the industry, she is the mold of what most restaurants strive to replicate with their staff. She was well informed and communicative; she also struck the perfect balance of conversing/upselling and not “overstaying” her welcome.
The food - Brussels and wings appetizer were delicious. Even though the wings were on the smaller side, the unique sauces made the dish stick out as a whole. The farmers salad was a perfect blend of acidic, savory and fruity with just the right amount of crunch. My brother LOVED the corn risotto (so much so that he took foodie pics and he NEVER takes foodie pics). My husband ordered the fish and chips and it was a massive serving (and the batter on the fish was wonderful.
We all loved our drinks and were we not actively on our way to my in laws beach house where they have ciders awaiting me, I would have left with multiple growlers.

I do wish they had wine....that and the fact that it sounded like the customization may not be an option in the future account for the missing 5th star.. I know that it's largely about the PA laws, but I think they could have some local wineries' products. Those who had other beverages enjoyed them esp the Bloody Mary w the "stick" (extra but worth it w a large shrimp, hunk of cheese,...
Read moreDon't let the factory like exterior keep you from experiencing this unique restaurant! Boasting a spooky esthetic and delicious menu Titan Hollow winery/ Alloy kitchen is a must try. They were out of most desserts due to restaurant week but our main courses (Calabria pork chops, and the red curry pot roast) were out of this world with great portions. The service seemed slow in my opinion for as many ladies were working but that won't keep us from coming back.
