First time at the restaurant. The only negative I can say was we had made reservations for the restaurant side not the patio (however upon arrival after seeing the patio was regretting that decision), walked in to the first side and there was no one there it looked dead and we are just standing there as employees walked by. Then my guest noticed a side that said everyone will be served on the patio tonight. (I was happy with the situation, but the side would have been better placed outside the door so people didn’t even walk into the restaurant side door and went straight to the patio door. However, the rest of the evening was great. The views from the patio are amazing, the drinks were delicious, and the food a good quality for the price. Even with the tvs, the other guests and outside noise it was not loud, you could still have a conversation without having to talk loudly. Servers were pleasant. This place will definitely become a regular date night location.

Hi Tahara, Thank you for your review and we will be adding another sign to the front of the building to direct guests to the patio and inside dining area. We hope you visit with us again soon.

We had a great first experience. We had their meatballs, dry rub wings, burger, white pizza and braised short rib. They were all delicious. I loved their Lavender Lemon Drop. We love the patio area. We will be back.

It didn’t start out well when we arrived because the hostesses don’t pay attention to the reservations. We had a reservation for a table on the patio and we arrived on time for our reservation. The hostess asked the people who were in front of us at the hostess stand if they had a reservation and he said ‘no’ and she immediately sat them on the patio. Then when it was our turn at the hostess stand we said we had a reservation and she said there were no tables left on the patio so we would have to eat inside.. Why did she give our table to people who didn’t have a reservation when we did have a reservation? When we expressed that we were not happy about her seating people without a reservation but not seating people with a reservation and said we were going to leave she then said to wait a minute and then miraculously there was a table for us on the patio. The food was okay, but it was the first time I ever got a nachos platter as an appetizer that had no cheese on it at all, that seems strange to not put cheese on nachos.

Hi Sue, Thank you for the review and I apologize for the inexperience of my host stand with honoring reservations. I thank you for the feedback so I can explain to them how we need to properly seat our guests. We have just switched back to open table this month and they were not used to this many reservations from the old system we were using. Please give me a call when you can so I can personally apologize to you at 610-277-2323. Thank You, Shawn

They always seem understaffed. Apps and dinners came out at same time-lukewarm. Crazy loud bunch of obnoxious men next to us. Should have asked to move.

I’ve been here several times and it’s always good. We sat on the outside patio, which is always fun and comfortable. Lots of sports to watch. Get a bit noisy but not too bad. Pretzel bite appetizer was really good. Had a white pizza with sausage that was good fish and chips, and the chicken cheesesteak were also enjoyed by our party Overall great experience. Highly recommend for a fun night out.

Food was good; service was not. 5 entrees ordered - 3 delivered at once, 4-5 min later the 4th arrived; 5th meal did not arrive for a full 15 minutes later! I started my meal when 2 others were completely finished. Was patient throughout the experience & was offered zero compensation, and got a flat no when I asked so I took my discount out of my tip. I mean seriously… comp a beverage, the surcharge for fries, half off the entree… anything would have been in order & appreciated.
