Mother’s Day evening - my wife and I had a wonderful Arctic Chat and a pepper scallops dish and we shared a red & golden beet salad. This was our fourth time there, and as usual we were pleased with the complete experience. Casual gourmet dining!

Service was excellent from being greeted to tables being cleared. Chef created an exceptional vegetarian stir fry dish with fresh seasonal vegetables. House made water-ice dessert was delicious. I’ll be going back again, and frequently!

Have been there several times but this was for Mother’s Day brunch. Always like the selection of food choices and the quality is excellent. Restaurant is on the small to medium size but I think that is a plus because it keeps in noise level down and service typically better. Is it a little high on price? Maybe a tad but again the Overall experience with serving time and food compensate for it. Highly recommend.

Great friendly farm to table style restaurant with delish dishes prepared with locally raised and grown foods plus a wonderful selection of tasty desserts. We eat here often. The food, service and non chain restaurant atmosphere keep us coming back.

The food was very good - only reason I didn’t give 5 starts was because we had the lobster frittata and it wasn’t great. But everything else was awesome! Great little byob with very cute ambiance. Would definitely recommend and will come back - I want to try the dinner menu!

My swordfish lettuce wrap was excellent, a bit scanty on the swordfish value-wise though. My companion's Cuban sandwich was too greasy, and not value for dollar. She will not return. I will! Love the ambiance ans BYOB perk.

Enjoyed the atmosphere in this quaint bistro BYOB. Service was very good and attentive. Food presentation was done very nicely. I had the beet salad and the dressing was perfect. Duck breast was very tender and accompanied nicely with the mushroom rye berries.

Wonderful lunch today! I had the market day pasta. Today it was linguine with lobster, scallops, ramps, and spring peas in a fresh tomato sauce. It was delicious! My husband had the lobster sandwich, which was also excellent. I also tried one of the yummy new mocktails. Can't wait for our next visit!

Wow, waaay overpriced. I paid $20.50 (before tax and tip) for an unsweetened iced tea and a mushroom, Swiss and spinach grilled cheese (replaced my fries with a salad). Good lord that is an insane price, I don’t care where the food came from. And it was average, nothing special, nothing you couldn’t get anywhere else in the area for much less. Won’t be going back or recommending.

Delicious BYOB farm to table food with great variety of offerings on the menu. Fresh ingredients elegantly prepared, with lovely waitstaff who are attentive and do not rush you. One of our favorite spots! Decor is upscale farmhouse and kitchen is open to view. Menu changes with the seasons, although there are some standing items. Definitely a hidden gem.

The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is due to the insanely foolish decision to no longer accept credit or debit cards. It's a shame since I was starting to love this place. I spoke with the manager and he didn't seem to disagree so... I'm a little confused at this under thought decision. While I hope it's not the end for this restaurant, I'm sure it will do quite a bit of damage to their revenue over time. Everyone I know has said they will likely go to many of the other fine dining restaurants where it's not a hassle to pay. This place is very good, but they have quite a lot of competition in the high income area where they are.

Having eaten at this restaurant before, we were looking forward to a pleasant meal. Unfortunately, the food and service did not live up to the menu hype. The server was quite perky and accommodating, but she failed on two counts: when asked if a fish menu item was wild or farmed, she said she did not know but then went into a long spiel about how they buy sustainable food etc; she finally brought the check but did not return to pick up the credit cards. The food was disappointing, with a few exceptions. The mushroom bisque was delicious. The salad was large but the dressing lacked any flavor or seasoning. The "beer batter" calamari had a soggy bready batter, not a beer batter, and seemed to have come out of a large bag of frozen product. The duck was served lukewarm, and when sent back was returned with fewer nuggets of duck and the whole meal sort of thrown on the plate. The char was overcooked and bland. Desserts were unappealing so we skipped them.

The menu is interesting but sadly the food was not well prepared. Veggies were undercooked, meat was over seasoned and the service was extremely slow. it took 17 LONG minutes for the wait staff to take our order and they never inquired if our food was ok. I will not return and would suggest that you dine elsewhere.

We enjoyed Eatnic. There were a couple of very minor bumps (they were out of our first menu choice at 6 PM on a Tuesday and then they were out of one of the two specials as well) but the food was good and we had a good time.

The restaurant was nice enough, but I'm not sure if I would go back. The waitress was very nice and friendly, however she never filled up our waters, either throughout our meal or as we sat and chatted. We were not made to feel like we had to rush though, as there was no one waiting for our table. It did seem like the cleanup service was slow, tables around us were not bused/cleaned for a while after the customers left. My friend got an herb frittata and she said it was okay, but there was not much cheese. I got the pork shoulder tacos and they were extremely dry. The meat itself was tasty but very dry, and there was no sauce, just a chopped pica de gallo style topping. It needed some kind of sauce or cream. I asked for something and she said she can get me more of what it's served with, which she did bring out, but I had already finished one of the three tacos by the time it arrived. What she brought out was not on my tacos at all so they must have forgotten that step initially. The coffee was tasty and the ricotta doughnuts were very good, but the blackberry jam served with the toast and the doughnuts was all tart and no sweetness, it really need some kind of sweetener in it (honey? sugar?). The interior's decor was okay, but a lot of items looked like they'd be better off in a more formal, french cafe style restaurant in a hotel lobby than a rustic farm to table spot on the Main line.

Server (Danielle) was very pleasant. Calamari was the highlight of the meal. Warm Brussels sprouts salad was pretty good. Shrimp with grits was a disappointment- very bland. Scallop crudo was almost inedible
