We weren’t sure what to expect, but COAL far exceeded our expectations! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the staff is friendly and helpful. The owner/ chef even came out to see how we were enjoying our night. Our entire dinner was delicious, and the drinks were fabulous! We highly recommend for either a romantic date night OR a fun night out with friends!

A beautiful night and we sat outside. The owner, who was our server was just the nicest guy. The food was delicious. Only problem was the wine list is only PA wines, not the greatest in my estimation, but the food was excellent. I will absolutely return there.
