• Steakhouse • West Chester
Booked 19 times today
Located in the heart of the Brandywine Valley, this modern American steakhouse is a short drive from Philadelphia, the Main Line or Wilmington. The complete redo of the 300 year old Chadds Ford Inn has created an excellent canvas with which to paint. The cuisine is strictly twenty-first century with an emphasis not only top quality cuts of beef, like the 16 ounce Prime Delmonico, but fresh seasonal seafood, like jumbo lump crab and wild salmon. The comfortable bar beckons you in with a Best of Philly burger and a local draft beer. Creative sandwiches, great happy hour specials and great steaks ensure we have something for everyone. Modern finishes to a historic building create an inviting, hip atmosphere that welcomes all-from tourists to business travelers to local families to private events in one of our many rooms.

    We had the Wednesday night prix fixe menu. All was superb including our Market Manhattans w the warm rosemary focaccia! We had the following: crispy duck confit and shrimp toast for starters; bucatini alla gricia and the porcini-rubbed hanger steak cooked to a perfect med-rare; for dessert the chocolate entremet cake and pistachio cake! It was the perfect birthday celebration. Service and food and cocktails were all spot on and amazing!

    Chris our server was excellent - very attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. Loved the citrus bubble drink- very unique and tasty. Mushroom soup the best we’ve ever had! Blistered shishito peppers, tuna poke and lamb meatballs yummy. We sat outside and the inside was beautifully decorated. Bathrooms pretty! Highly recommend!!!

    Once again Brandywine Prime has succeeded in making our night out a totally worthwhile evening. The food, as always, is excellent and the service remains as outstanding as it always is. Consistency in delivery in all aspects of our dinner is exactly what we have been able to enjoy every time that we make the drive from Wilmington. You can't go wrong when choosing Brandywine Prime to spend your evening
