   Food was good. Dessert could have been better. Prices a bit high. Atmosphere very nice and inviting. Server was pleasant and friendly but should really get more familiar with the menu. (She noted that it was her first night working there.)

   Food was a bit disappointing compared to previous visits. Light on flavor.

   3 of us ate. Mixed reviews on the plates. Consensus that the hush puppies were too dry, although the accompanying remoulade was good. Duck confit also dry. Pork belly was quite good. Chop salad very good. Desserts were great (donuts, but especially the pecan cake). Wines were good--we were driving so we decided against cocktails, although there was an interesting drink menu. Dining out is getting expensive everywhere!

   Our first visit to Slow Hand and we really enjoyed it! I tried a seasonal cocktail that was really delicious, and after all the holiday indulging my husband and I split 2 apps and 2 small plates that were the perfect amount of food. The hush puppies were pretty authentic and Nashville hot chicken wings are definitely going to warm you up on a cold night, they were crispy and spicy and delicious. The mussels were perfect with the delicious broth and a hearty serving for a 'small plate,' and the pork belly was really good (after reading other reviews we decided to try it)! My husband wished for more of the potato puree and he didn't love the pork rind that came with it (too hard). The service was a little slow and the place is a bit noisy but it was full of energy and we were able to sit back and relax.

    Unique little gem in the heart of West Chester. Nice ambiance! The drinks were exceptional, we got the slow hand and the Georgia peach! Bartenders are wizards and create magic potions with exacting precision! Friendly staff with a fun southern flare menu. Mac and cheese and hush puppies were my favorite! Good happy hour prices too!

    Our server got our order completely wrong, kept forgetting to bring us items we ordered and the majority of our meals were freezing cold by the time they came out. Other than the server apologizing, no manager visited our table to apologize and we got zero concessions on our bill. The band started mid-way through dinner and was extremely loud - we were sitting on the other side of the restaurant from the band and I couldn't hear anyone at our table. It was a terrible experience. This is the 2nd time I've tried Slow Hand and had bad experiences both times. It's a cool place with an awesome atmosphere - just wish the food and service was better.

    Went here recently with my parents and Fiance and had a wonderful time. For four individuals, 3 appetizers, 4 entrees and 6 drinks the total bill for brunch was $150 which was a steal. If you go for brunch you HAVE to order the corn chowder, one of the best dishes I’ve had in a while.

    First time at Slow Hand for dinner. Food and service were good. Our only issue was that it was too dark inside. We used our phone flashlight to see the menu which was fine. However, it was difficult to fully appreciate the food because it was so dark.

    I love Slow Hand's ambiance but I wish their brunch menu was a little larger. Overall great experience. I recommend this place to those who enjoy specialty cocktails and are looking for some lite fare. However, I would not recommend the brunch.

    Had been looking forward to trying Slow Hand for a while, but unfortunately we were disappointed. We had read in previous reviews that they had excellent cocktails and were accommodating to dietary issues, but we did not have that experience. We both ordered an Old Fashioned cocktail, and it was average. The biggest disappointment was that they were out of many items on the menu. It is a small menu, and they were out of my first two entree choices. My husband has a dairy allergy and when asked to substitute some salad greens for the side with dairy that came with his entree, we were told that they only had enough salad greens for the entrees that specified them. The food that we did receive was pretty good, but my husband basically just had a pork chop on a plate. In fairness to our server, she was serving inside and outside tables, and bussing tables and understandably seemed overwhelmed. The restaurant does have a cool vibe, but is really dark inside.

    My fiancé and I came to Slow Hand to celebrate our anniversary and WOW was the food good! Everything we tried was crafted with so much thought and was truly a delight to eat. I also had an amazing cocktail from their unique drink menu. Our waiter was so nice and attentive even though we could tell he was super busy. Only downside was the VERY loud live music that started after we’d finished our meal. I had wanted to stay for dessert but the volume made it impossible to carry on a conversation. I would definitely come back here, just maybe a bit earlier to avoid the band.
