A cute little joint in Chestnut Hill! The pear mules were a unique twist and refreshing. We’d seen the lamb chop appetizer in reviews and it was excellent. Really yummy French bread basket as well! Our entrees (mango Thai shrimp salad and a classic burger) were solid. Great atmosphere for an outdoor meal on a warm day!

We walked in hungry and excited to try someplace new in Chestnut Hill. We’d always driven by and seen happy customers on the outdoor seating area and decided that that would be us for the day!

A convenient and universal lunch and dinner spot. Located in the bottom of the Chestnut Hill Hotel, this place has a personality of its own: upscale and mature yet diner-like thanks to the menu and hospitality. I got the Niçoise salad the last time I visited. It was exactly what I wanted – a voluminous salad with a crispy, seasoned filet of salmon. I tried to get a cappuccino, but their machine was down. Instead, I got a black coffee, but it was was too watery to drink. Limited vegan options (chili, hummus, fries). I ADORE coming here in the warmer months; the outdoor seating is nourishing in and of itself. Prefer to come here for lunch but will always take my mom and Mommom here when they’re in-town (there’s something for everyone)!

Me and my mom went for lunch and it was a great experience. It’s two levels and outside seating. It was cold so we didn’t get to sit outside. The downstairs dining doesn’t have bathrooms or great cell service the staff informed us. We sat on the main level. The server was nice. Food came out hot and was oh so good. My mom never had catfish and had ordered the tacos and didn’t like the texture of the fish so they were great offering her other options. I can’t wait to go back for dinner and happy hour. Mussels and entres are available after 4.

Service was great and the food arrived quickly. The brisket sandwich was a little dry but pretty good overall. The portions are large and the menu diverse!
