New American Restaurants near Downingtown, PA

“I’ve only been here twice, but both times the food was excellent. We happened to come on a Sunday without knowing they closed in about 45 minutes, Angie was our server and we offered to get our food to go so she could close. She wouldn’t hear of it! She made us feel so comfortable and not at all rushed. She gave us one of the best services in a restaurant setting, she was friendly, informative on the menu and provided an all around 5 star experience!“

“Everything we ordered was prepared perfectly and presented well. Service was exceptional. They were very accommodating of splitting entrees including plating split portions in the kitchen. Seating on the patio in good weather is the way to go.“

“My wife and I went to Sovana on reccomend from the folks at Phillips Mushroom Farm. We are very glad we took did! From the semi-twin ladies opening the doors for us, to the fun atmosphere, to the great food. They compt' my wife's dessert 'cause it was her birthday and made a GREAT Bloody Mary! But even better than all of that was our server, Racquel T. She was fantastic! She was very friendly, made us feel right at home, was chatty but didn't waste time, she knew the menu very well, even though she said she was relatively new. Absolutely delightful...the kind of personality that makes you want to come back. Thank you all for a wonderful time. John G.“

“It's a great place to eat; you feel like you have a one-on-one chef serving you. You place your order; it is served hot filled with excellent taste and outstandingly prepared with freshness. Cost is more than fair a pleasure to eat here. The atmosphere is quiet and you feel very welcome to be here.“

“A really nice and cozy place! Would recommend taking your kids there. The workers are nice. It doesn’t take too long to get a seat or get food. Everything tastes good and everything is pretty clean. There is plenty of options for food and drinks. I love going here for breakfast. One of my favorite breakfast places in West Chester.“

“The service was top notch. The owner goes above and beyond to ensure that all of her guests are pleased with their experience. The waiter staff are also very personable and friendly. As for the food, I found my meal last night to be absolutely delicious and so did my fiancée. I had a Shrimp and Scallop St. Jacques which was such an amazing dish and crème brûlée for desert which was wonderful. My fiancée had the Seared Halibut and loved her dinner.“

“The food and the experience was great. Definitely try the maple vinaigrette if you have a salad.Parking: There is a small lot behind the building, a small lot in front of the building, and a small lot across the street. Otherwise, parking is pretty difficult to find. Catching an Uber to get here is a good idea if you're close enough to make it economical.“

“I have never been to Sedona, but it was highly recommended through Facebook friends. When I arrived, I love the atmosphere. It’s clean . I love the vibe. The waitress Adrian went above and beyond for everything. We had an issue with the food that we ordered, not realizing that it contains some things in it and we were able to eat, but they took very good care of us., Will definitely be back!“

“Roots is the best! Even when you have to wait for a table it’s WORTH IT! Sometimes they are super busy and it’s a small place so I give them grace! Servers are attentive and friendly and as mentioned by a reviewer below, “servers (are) walking by regularly”, so you know you can get help whenever you need it. The other reviewer below with the same last name mentioned how cute the atmosphere was and I just have to agree! The garden is blooming right now baby!!! Mocktail list is absolute fire and I will request to eat their chicken sandwich on my death bed.“

“Always a great experience at Foxfire. The menu has so many great options. The food is so good and a good value for upscale dining. Love that the salads are big enough to share. The Delmonico steak was cooked perfectly and we love that the entrees come with sides such as a starch and some vegetables. I still don't know how their vegetables taste as good as they do, even the grilled cauliflower is fantastic! We also had the crab cakes and a mushroom quesadilla off the back side casual food section. Great dessert menu too. The apple cobbler is enough to share but the chocolate cheesecake was a a little to small to share among four of us. The service was great too. Very friendly and accommodating staff. We will definitely return.“

“I’ve been to the whip twice and enjoyed it both times. It was well worth the 45 minute trip from Wilmington De. The scenery along route 82 is incredible and the food and atmosphere are great. I can’t wait to return when it’s warm enough to sit on the patio.“

“Already familiar with the Springfield location and happened to be in the West Chester area and figured we'd stop in.Dining room was empty for a Thursday afternoon but that's fine with us .Ordered 2 combos with gravy fries. As usual, it was excellent. Our waitress was prompt and professional.Always a good experience at Nick's.“

“I almost don't want to do this because I don't want too many people to find out about it! This has to be the greatest little bar in the Philadelphia area! We sat with Kathy at the bar who made us outstanding holiday cocktails that we've never had anywhere before. If I could give her six stars I would!“

“Been here several times, and it's always a hit. They tend to sell out by late afternoon and early evening on some days, especially weekends.It's got the vibe of a takeout pizza joint, which is pretty normal. The steaks however are as gourmet as they come -- the bread alone is magnificent.Honestly, two people can usually split one cheesesteak and have enough food. They're expensive, but enormous, so splitting is what we do and it's plenty.“

“This is a really nice place to stop by and grab something to eat, super casual and laid back and the outdoor area is dog friendly. They even brought my buddy some water, the service was excellent. I highly recommend the onion soup and Reuben sandwich. My husband ordered the Carolina pulled pork sandwich and it was also really good. The drinks are on the pricier side, $14 for a hot cider so definitely something to keep in mind when ordering. The food was fairly priced. Overall i recommend this place and definitely would return.“

“Jen at Bar Avalon coordinated a 35 person sit down rehearsal dinner for my daughter a few weeks ago and the event was spectacular. The food and service were excellent. Jen communicated with me frequently to make sure everything was exactly as we wanted it and even set up a microphone for speeches. I highly recommend Bar Avalon and I will definitely use them for future events.“

“A solid place to go for happy hour. They have several HH specials. We decided to make a meal and order several HH starters. We both loved the maple sriracha wings and the buffalo chicken dip. I had a nice glass of wine and my friend had a beer. We ordered a total of 5, $5 starters and 2 HH cocktails. Our total check before tip was about $35 for 2 adults. Pretty good IMO. Will definitely be back.“

“We went to slow hand on a very busy night when the bar and kitchen were backed up. Our server, Alex, (who is normally a bartender) was absolutely amazing. He was so personable, checked in on us often, and did anything he could do to help serve us more quickly. We ordered desserts to go, and we left a bit early since one of the desserts was taking a while. Alex chased us down to give us a gift card for the inconvenience. He is awesome and made what could have been a bad night a great one. We will definitely be back ?“

“Always good food here and a great place to watch any of the games, plenty of TVs around the bar area. The wings are cauliflower crust pizza are great. Note that the "hot" wings are very hot, "mild" are more like regular hot wings from other places.“

“If I could give Andiario 10 stars I would. My husband and I left beyond satisfied reminiscing about the service, food, and atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, the hostess and staff were extremely kind and welcoming. The food was to die for with so much thought put into each flavor pairing. We could tell there was pride put into every dish. The atmosphere was warm and we never once felt rushed like every other restaurant. We were able to take our time and just enjoy the delicious food and evening together. 10/10 would recommended over ANY other restaurant in West Chester.“

“Took myself here for a solo date night (Saturday 8pm). Excellent experience from start to finish. Most importantly, I was greeted with a big smile! The 2 hostesses were beyond sweet and extremely helpful when I couldn’t decide where to sit.There was a live band playing and the atmosphere overall was laidback and comfortable (St. Patrick’s Day weekend).The St Paddy’s Martini was DELICIOUS, it tasted like mint chocolate chip. I’ve had takeout plenty of times, so I knew the food would be good! My servers, a young lady with cute temporary eye tattoo for the holiday (whose name I didn’t catch) & Drew, were both attentive and polite!10/10 Recommend“

“The manager was extremely kind and helpful. We arrived very late and the kitchen was closed but he offered us a few pizza options and we were more than grateful!! Pizza was delicious and the wait staff was very friendly and attentive. We can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu and really appreciate how customer friendly everyone was.“

“Went for dinner on a Wednesday and the place was packed! Glad we had a reservation, so no wait at all. Shared the Tavern Short Rib Fries, excellent. The Wild Mushroom Bisque had a flavor I couldn't pin down but was absolutely delicious. Also had the Fall Harvest Salad, equally yummy. This place proves that if you serve quality food at reasonable prices, people will come! Also our waitress, Kathy, did a great job and kept us entertained as well!“

“I stopped in for the first time today during my lunch break and saw many delicious options. I was greeted at the door and shown to my seat. My server was incredible. She was knowledgeable about the menu and offered suggestions that she agreed with what I thought would be a great lunch. I will be back to try many other options on the menu. Staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was cozy and service was fast. I apologize I don’t recall her name. Thank you and I will be back soon.“

“Although it was a busy Friday night, the establishment was still pretty well maintained and the servers were on top of helping each patron. The food alone was incredible and great portions for the price. Would love to go again if in the area.“

“Food as always was fantastic. Can't ever go wrong with crab stuffed shrimp, which translates into “a crabcake on each shrimp”. Also had the lobster bisque which is always good. My wife had the Clam Chowder and lobster roll. How do you go wrong?!?!?!“

“Service was amazing! Alessandro (sorry if I didn’t spell that correctly) is an AMAZING waiter!!! Super attentive, friendly, personable, and fun! He was fantastic! We went there for a birthday dinner for my mom, and he made the experience even better. The food was also extremely delicious! Everyone at our table was raving about the taste of their meal…dessert as well! I got the Kennett Square Chicken and Ann’s Chocolate Banana Cake… sooo good! My husband got one of the chefs specials that night that was a noodles with shrimp, crab and scallops on top in some delicious orangey pink looking sauce. It was phenomenal! (I tried some). My brother-in-law got the filet mignon and he couldn’t stop talking about how amazing it tasted…especially the sauce on top…saying he could drink this sauce! Lol. Overall wonderful experience! We will definitely be back!“

“Great restaurant in Exton! They have outdoor seating and are very dog friendly. Brought out a dog bowl with our drinks! Apparently, if the owner is here, he gives out dog treats :) didn't get to experience that tonight but that's lovely if it's true! The food was great, lots of options on the menu (lowkey overwhelming with so many choices!) you cannot go wrong with any of the sandwiches here. The outdoor seating was very nice and spacious and our dogs loved it.“

“Went there on Easter Sunday, the menu had a good selection. I had the prime rib which was very delicious, same as the veggies. The only thing I didn't like was they charged the veggies 10 bucks over the price over the prime rib. In my opinion the veggies should have been included in the price.The service was great, it seems that the staff worked together very well. They deserver a good tip.My over all experience was very good, would I come back again? Yes when ever I get back in the area.Food & drinks: Great food“

“We haven't to Iron Hill in West Chester in awhile & it is still very good. We went for lunch & it was quiet, service was terrific & food fairly priced. My only complaint was that I felt it was chilly--our table was quickly changed to a cozier table--“
