    Sautéed tiger shrimp

    This rating is for their burger. Probably the BEST burger I've had in Malvern. White Cheddar burger - the burger was (medium) cooked perfectly. The meat was juicy with the white cheddar cheese was a great combination. The French fries were warm with good portion size. Quality and quantity was great. Would definitely get this dish again. Valrhona Dark Chocolate cream pie - tasted like chocolate pudding on a crust. Only negative....the Diet Coke was always flat

    If ever there was a place where I want to rate it 5 stars, or even 4 and a half, and it pains my heart not to, the Hunt Room is it. The Patriarch, The Queen Mother, The Reverend Dr. Steak, Honorable Pastor Baby Back Ribs, Faithful Dining Companion and the Young 'Uns all headed out to the Hunt Room for a celebratory dinner. The hotel and the dining room are tastefully done in the way that hotels used to present themselves before the Invasion of the Chain. The room has touches of Colonial style with large brass chandeliers and such, but also lots of burgundy and tan and touches of 'hunting' (paintings of horses, men, foxes, etc.) as it is after all the "Hunt Room". The room was a mix of tables (round, square) and booths, and there are also half wall partitions creating dining 'spaces'. As it is the "Hunt Room" we were not at all surprised by the offerings - mostly meat though there is a mushroom ravioli. They had three selections of Angus Beef, several seafood selections (Salmon, Grouper, Scallops, etc.), Wild Duckling, Veal, and Chicken entrees on the menu. Surprisingly, they did have a children's menu filled with the usual fare (cheeseburgers, chicken fingers, pasta, grilled cheese). Food overall was excellent - the Prime Rib, the Filet Mignon and the NY Strip were all ordered and devoured. The herbed butter on the NY Strip made it luscious, and both the Members of the Supreme Church of the Carnivore mostly made grunting noises and nearly licked their plates clean of the Prime Rib. These are good signs. The Filet was done nicely medium well. Scallops were proclaimed quite good. The ONE soft spot was the veal - very tough, difficult to cut even with a steak knife and despite all the preparation, surprisingly tasteless. It was promptly removed from our bill with apologies. The only other soft spot would be the salads - which were, just OK. The Wedge wasn't a wedge, but a slab of iceberg, great bleu cheese and good bacon but the peppercorn dressing doesn't do it justice - it needs Russian dressing. Garden salads were 'ok'. A special moment was the service of the two soups - mushroom and lobster bisque. The soups arrived with just the solids - either the roasted mushrooms or lobster pieces. The server then hand poured the respective cream soups into the bowl for you. What a lovely, lovely presentation. Both soups were proclaimed delicious and empty bowls were returned to the kitchen. Now for service - I cannot say enough good things about our server Elide. She was fantastic, professional, swift, personable and patient. The Queen Mother has 'memory issues' and can be high maintenance. Elide handled it beautifully, repeating the order multiple times without a hint of annoyance. Each time it was as if she had never been asked. When substitutions were asked for they were cheerily handled and in one case, anticipated as the standard side is a polenta dish - and the Patriarch long ago proclaimed that we would never be so poor as to eat polenta (as he had done as a child when the food ran out). Further, and this was really special - when one of the Young 'Uns became, well, itchy, she told him that the chefs had told her there were only 40 french fries on the plate but she was sure there were more so they made a bet. Could the Young 'Un help her win by counting the fries? This kept an itchy child perfectly happy for long enough for the rest of us to finish. Bless you, Elide. The Young 'Un happily proclaimed that there were 87 fries on the plate, got a high five and as a bonus got tips on how to turn his take out bag into a house for a pet squirrel puppet. This was SO SO SO close to 5 stars it hurts my heart not to give them. I feel obligated to take off for the unremarkable salads and the tough veal. Please don't let this deter you. It's a lovely place to enjoy a traditional meal with fine service and also a place to help your children become accustomed to fine dining in a receptive environment. Hunt Room, we'll be back with pleasure. Thank you for a remarkable, special meal.

    The Fork & Bottle is located in the Desmond Hotel Malvern, a DoubleTree by Hilton on the first floor. Today was my first time visiting here for brunch and I was very impressed!! Everything I ate was amazing (breakfast and dessert) and I certainly left stuffed. The servers were extremely attentive and on top of everything, the dining hall was neat and so were the bathrooms I really can't think of one single grimace I had this visit! My family is definitely considering returning next year, and making this a tradition!

    We've essentially "adopted" The Jockey since we were regulars at McKenzie before. Aside from the…read moredécor--and maybe a slightly smaller beer list--not much has changed. Overall, The Jockey is solidly average when it comes to food, service, and ambiance. Nothing outstanding, but nothing terrible either. Where The Jockey truly shines, though, is its Happy Hour value, which is easily the best in the area. Drinks are a great deal compared to nearby spots: half off all beers on tap, plus discounted house wine and cocktails. The Happy Hour appetizer selection is larger than most, and the quality is surprisingly good. Buck-a-shuck oysters! Only one variety, but for a dollar, you can't complain. Bonus points for offering Happy Hour on weekends, which is rare. If you're in the area during Happy Hour, it's absolutely worth stopping in.

    My reviews are different. I do not announce myself or tell anyone. I am here to do a review!!…read more It was my birthday week, and unfortunately, my Tesla had been vandalized. True to my nature as a "prior proper planner," I already had an appointment scheduled in West Chester, so I headed down to get the repairs underway. While I waited, I decided to find some local eats. A quick Google search led me to The Jockey just outside of Philadelphia. The reviews mentioned it was a family-owned joint, and the decor looked incredibly inviting. The aesthetic actually reminded me of The Polo Bar in NYC; it has that same sophisticated, equestrian charm. Personally, I love horses--I know all the horses in the world, and they know me--and I know the horses. so I was eager to check it out. My mother picked me up from the dealership, and we "galloped" our way down to the restaurant. The Food I was surprised to find the place packed at 12:30 PM on a Tuesday, but I assumed we had just hit the peak lunch rush. We started with the calamari, my mother ordered a sandwich, and I opted for the salmon with drunken noodles. Honestly, I think the chef in the back was more "drunk" than the noodles. * The Salmon: It arrived super crisp and borderline burnt. * The Calamari: Overcooked, greasy, and wet--it felt like it hadn't seen a strainer or a paper towel since leaving the fryer. * The Sauce: The marinara was watery, almost as if the back-of-house was running low and decided to stretch it with water. The Verdict The only saving grace was the aesthetic. The decor is lovely, and they have a very inviting event space in the basement. However, you can't eat the wallpaper. * Food: 2/5 (A hard pass on the kitchen's execution.) * Service: 3/5 (The staff never checked on us while we were eating.) * Location/Convenience: 4/5 (Close to everything in a great area.) I likely won't be visiting this place again. I'm genuinely surprised this is a local favorite in such an upscale area--perhaps the locals just haven't ventured out enough to know what they're missing.

Service was friendly and the menu was surprisingly deep. Overall, the food did not disappoint. We started with the French Onion soup - it is on point and if you like French Onion, I recommend it. I went with the meatloaf sandwich. It was good, but the BBQ sauce was a bit sweet for my liking. Still a creative and enjoyable sandwich. We also got a poke bowl, which was very fresh. I'd recommend getting the dressing on the side as that could overpower some of the aspects of the bowl, but no other modifications needed. I've heard this place can get busy and is a bit of a dive bar. Given its location, I am sure it can get busy so I would plan ahead if you want to eat. As for dive bar, not sure I'd call it that but if I did it would more bit a complement. I say give Berwyn Tavern a go if you are in the area.
