    This is what passes for Picahna . 1.5 inches wide and 5 inches long.
    Mark S.

    We had high hopes, a long drive getting there etc. put it this way, the "prime" flatiron steak came out cubed and wasn't comparable to steaks nearby at Prime 225, Shafers or the Chesapeake house. No worries , that wasn't my plate. I ordered the picahna, which I'm quite fond of, having had Picahna for the last two weeks. Once in D.C. and once at home. I should mention that I purchase Picahna about every other week when I drive north from D.C. and pass through rosedale. This Picahna was not what I would consider a Picahna steak. Perhaps a Picahna roast stripped of all fat and the edge of it at that l, which contains a lot of gristle. For the Ashby's , I did not mention this to our server whom was polite. I don't want anything taken off the check, ever. What I would like to see is some standards so the chef understands when to put the last cut towards something else instead of the plated course. If you're going to change the menu and add Picahna...maybe try some at a Brazilian steakhouse first. Also who decided to cube the flat iron steak? Was that a handful of end cuts also?? The peanut butter bomb was to die for!

    We went to Cantwell's on Thanksgiving and had a marvelous time. The food was abundant and delicious. The service was outstanding. The ambiance was warm and inviting.

    Cool old building with lots of character! Food is decent. Service is super friendly!

    Swordfish served on mushroom risotto

    Our server Christina was amazing, she made us feel so welcomed and her service was perfect. I had the swordfish special with mushroom risotto. We started with wings and pretzel bites and finished with a chocolate peanut butter bomb. The room we dined in was quaint and comfortable with a fireplace.

    Great farm to table restaurant in historic Odessa in a building est. 1822 . I loved this 19th century tavern ! Perfect med Jammin' burger with arugula, tomato jam, and fresh burrata cheese with balsamic and basil. Fresh buffalo mozzarella wrapped around a filling of soft curd deliciousness. Replaced those fries with a beautiful side salad with homemade blue cheese. Dining companion had plant based portobello burger with blue cheese/arugula and side Caesar salad... delish. Impeccable service start to finish even with lunch rush.

    We were in town and heard this was a great place for dinner. We scored outside reservations and it was a perfect night in LSD! We had a terrific server and the food was so fresh and delicious! No complaints at all! Terrific for a Friday!

    Nachos with chicken
    Kim M.

    In the area and decided to come for dinner. For an appetizer we ordered the nachos with chicken. It came out so hot and piled high with chicken and melted cheese! For dinner i had the Salmon ciabatta sandwich, it tasted fresh and the crispy ciabatta roll just made it even better. We also ordered the Shrimp enchiladas and loved them. Jen our server was excellent, constantly bringing out water and more drinks. We loved our food and service was awesome. Nice bar area as well. We will be back!

    Cheesesteak
    Greg S.

    CANTwells...get it? Food: My cheesesteak hoagie was good. Great portion. Good choose of roll. Great shave of beef. The fries were very lack luster. Just very little to be desired. Service: can't do well Granted we sat at tables surrounding the bar...but still...we had to constantly go up to the bar to ask to get served. You know who did have her attention...these fellas sitting at the bar. Go figure. Ambiance: well....its a tavern affair.. You are engulfed in the history as soon as you step through the door.

    Wow! My companion…read moreand I stopped in on an early Saturday evening after months of "you know, we should try that place sometime." We are glad we finally did. 1762 was formerly known as The Warwick Hotel, and that's the prominent markings you'll see from the street. It is a really excellent spot on the square in Hummelstown with cozy charm and exceptional service. My companion was initially skeptical when she saw wine on tap but immediately changed her mind when she saw the offerings--good quality and reasonable price point. The beer selection is also good. Not a huge number of beers but well-selected. Although we didn't have a full meal we did enjoy the sausage and honey appetizer, which was outrageously tasty with sausage from a local butcher in Hershey. Service was efficient and friendly, especially considering the bar (where we sat) was hopping. We also met the owner, Dave, who rolled up his sleeves to assist at the bar while also personally greeting customers. Our biggest regret is that we waited so long to finally visit...and we'll definitely be back soon.

We started off with the mushroom flatbread, which was delicious. Hubby had the mahi-mahi special and I had a shrimp dish. I got to choose what kind of topping I wanted on my shrimp, which was really interesting. I chose the sautéed mushrooms. Yum. Plus, lots of great choices for sides. We will definitely come back when we are in the area!

Waiter brought me 2/3 of a cup of warm coffee and asked if I wanted milk or cream and sugar instead of bringing them over. Had to wait five minutes for my eerily specific request for a certain number of creams and Splenda. No spoon or other way to mix the cream and sugar. I couldn't find a single thing on the menu that seemed even remotely close to palatable, so I ordered an English muffin, thinking I'd be safe. Wrong. It was doughy and soaked with butter. Should I have told them to hold the butter because I was a jelly guy? Who knows. I've never felt more like leaving a zero dollar tip than I did at Greenhouse Gastropub. Skip it.

The food we had was fine. The mussles and frites were good, I would have thought the fries come with the sauce but they didn't. The risotto was slight malt under seasoned. The beet salad was really tasty! This resturant is always thorough when it comes to allergies. They have a hard time with the two server communication aspect. I've been here twice and both times they seemed one beat off from each other. Also for having two servers they don't check on you often enough. That could also be a communication/timing thing. (if you think someone else was there or not) we only ordered one drink because we didn't want to wait after we finished our food to order another. The drinks here are fantastic though. We dined for 2 hours and only was able to order one drink and apps. We probably would have enjoyed more but personally I didn't have to time sit any longer. I would give them one more try but 202 is a pain and this might not be worth the drive with so many comparable options of fine dining in Wilmington.

We also noticed a few times on our two visits that people got in the shallow water near land or used paddle boards to go out further. So, it really felt beach-y in other words. This in the backyard of Bohemian Manor which is a winery, which we also visited. It's down a hill, but they offer frequent golf carts trips to patrons to assist. One driver met us halfway as we were heading up, which was nice. The cocktails they served for movie night were $15 each. They were made well. The food: chicken tenders and old bay fries, as well as brisket and pulled chicken was good. I enjoyed watching JAWS while we snacked and enjoyed our drinks.

On one hand I want to try again for dinner but for the price, I'm not sure it's worth it. Pros: Amazing service - very attentive server(s); we had one in training/shadowing and she was just as good as our primary server, offering refills, clearing plates, overall greet banter Cocktails are fantastic - had the Minnie Ripperton and loved it - creamy yet refreshing and bright which is a tough combo to achieve Cons: Hidden entrance - after circling what looked like an abandoned building 2x we finally figured out the entrance was in the backy and down a set of stairs. I now understand the "speakeasy vibe" but the clutter in the front made the building look abandoned or under construction; not a great start to the experience for us Food service - the other couple we were dining with got their entrees about 10 minutes before ours and we were some of the first orders & diners of the day. Usually you might hold the whole table or refire some of the dishes so it all comes out at the same time. They finished theirs before we even got our to start, making it a strange eating experience Small print menu - with the low light of the speakeasy, the menu had the teeeeniest print I've ever seen making it very difficult to read the menu options. We also didn't realize that the menu changes/is seasonal (not called out on the website) so many of the items we had wanted to try were not an available option. I love a menu that changes but hope it's indicated on the website (aka: sample menu, subject to seasonal change) Hit-n-miss: Fried chicken Benedict- huge portions, amazing biscuits and perfectly poached (but unseasoned?) eggs. I don't know if the hollandaise soaked into the fried chicken or never existed at all - and that's the thing you want with a Benedict. If it existed, it never reached the biscuits because while they were good, but were completely dry Shrimp and grits - perfectly cooked, great consistency, but very under-seasoned Water - just an observation and maybe it's just the local tap water flavor but it tasted off or as off the soap hadn't been washed from the glasses Pro Tip: be aware of the automatic gratuity in some circumstances; if you don't know, check the website before your meal!
