    The food was delicious ( as usual!) but the portions were on the small side so it seemed kind of expensive. We will still go back again and again but figured we could at least share the feedback. It’s also possible it was short staffed because the wait times were lengthy. It’s always a fun atmosphere. And the staff is very friendly.

    It just was very underwhelming, the staff was fine but the food was overpriced and not that great.

    The food and service were wonderful. This time the portions were just rights however it was exceptionally noisy that’s why I didn’t give you 5 stars

    Food was good. Service was good. Hard to find (this is OpenTable’s fault). Address omitted “East” so it took us to Berwyn, not Villanova.

    Normally like the atmosphere. We were seated next to a family apparently celebrating graduation and children were screaming (not crying)for the duration of the evening. Parents were oblivious and apparently didn’t care. The server was very nice and caring. Appeared a bit over stretched. Ordered same meal I had previously. Inconsistent with last time we were there. My wife ordered bronzino the last time there. Small portion and not that good. This time she ordered salmon. Very small and not that good. Prior to coming again will check to see events happening and avoid coming that night. Wait for meal was long possibly because of large parties. Will give it another try in the future. There was some discrepancy in feed back for food allergy.

    Shared blueberry pancakes and mushroom flatbread. Very good. Tea could have been hotter.
