    Our go to spot! Love the food, drinks and staff. Built a nice gazebo outside but should have included a patio. Tables on grass are a bit unsteady.

    I love this place because it is local (I'm an Elverson resident) and the drinks are better than you'll get anywhere. Their gin is over the top good. Their live music is also very good. Last evening's experience was less than ideal because the table of 6 beside us was very loud and because I ordered an open face Cuban sandwich which was very greasy. If you're looking for a small place with atmosphere, good music and good drinks, this is the place for you. But, I wouldn't come if you don't want to spend $$ (food and drinks are pricey) and if eating options and portions are important to you.

    We had a 7 PM reservation. We showed up at 6:45 PM. We checked in with one of the staff members and they sat us at a table for two right next to the bar at exactly 6:50 PM. We sat there for 25 minutes with menus and glasses of water, but no one came over to offer us drinks from the bar until 7:15. It was frustrating to sit there and be ignored, yet there were people who came in after us and were standing around waiting for a table, and were served drinks from the bar. At 7:15, the server came over and apologized for making us wait so long and asked us what we would like to drink. We decided it was best to just leave. We were not happy with sitting there and being ignored for 25 minutes. Once we left the restaurant, someone from the restaurant came out to our car to apologize to us and offered to comp our meal. That was a very nice gesture, but at that point we were not interested in staying. I cannot comment on the drinks or the food since we decided to leave and go to another restaurant. The ambience of the restaurant is very nice and the gentleman playing guitar and singing was very talented. It was quite disappointing that we did not receive even a basic level of service from the Front-of-House staff.

    Poor temperature control, it was sweltering in the restaurant and made everything else uncomfortable.

    Wonderful lunch on a July afternoon. Enjoyed the seasonal squash blossoms, and the gimlet was fantastic and strong. The salad was not as seasonal as I'd hoped (canned artichokes and olives), but was delicious. Service was impeccable and the atmosphere was calm and welcoming.

    Very enjoyable. While menu is limited, choices were excellent. Service was timely. Easy to carry on a conversation at our table. Drinks were not skimpy. We had a fabulous time.

    Great food and drinks! There is live music on Fridays so it’s a bit loud, but just something to keep in mind
