We went in winter but I'm sure it's packed in summer. The Crab Cake Sandwich is a must. It's actually full of lump crab meat instead of just being a bunch of breading and filler.

If you want a four top and two top tables together to seat 5, you have to sit in the land-side dining room. Service after seating was pleasant and helpful. Menu items vary from bar food to upscale dining choices, old school to trendy. The standout here was the old school clams casino. The flavors were nicely balanced and enjoyable. We would order these again and it's probably the only thing that would bring us back. We tried the fried fish sandwich, roast beef dip sandwich and roast pork sandwiches. All of them were generously large and 1/2 sandwich was enough to satisfy. While the roll was delicious and the fillings plentiful, they just did not have enough flavor.

As the Christmas holiday approached, they had mini pine trees on every table. Nobody watered them and the pine trees died. They stayed on the tables. Little dead sticks in Christmas wrapping paper. It was amazing. You can see it from the interstate, but it's tough to get through the warren of Chester streets to get to it. Your best bet is to just walk down 17th street towards Philadelphia. When you think there's no way that a BAR could possibly be back HERE, you're almost there. The road ends in Maggie May's, basically. Cheap drinks, cozy space, friendly bartender. Show up 3 times and be polite and you'll be a regular whose drink orders are remembered. I love this place.

This is one of those times. With the inaugural cruise out of Philadelphia, hundreds of people were staying at the Clarion Hotel and planning to eat and drink here. This wasn't a surprise. They had weeks to prepare. They had one waitress. One bartender. We walked in before 5 PM, got told to wait, then told to seat ourselves. Found the only open table--it was dirty. Sat there for a while with no service and eventually just left. Never even got to try the food. Big crowd, guaranteed business, and they weren't ready. That's the bottom line.

The restaurant has a charming and casual vibe. Both gentlemen tending the floor are from Italy, adding an air of authenticity. You can choose to sit outdoors -- I really like the way the patio is arranged --or in the cozy dining room. Once seated, you're brought a plate of roasted peppers and a basket of hard rolls. I sprinkled olive oil and grated salt on the plate, which proved a good idea with the peppers and rolls. There were a number of appetizer specials, but we went with a basic Caesar salad. One order, pre-apportioned in the kitchen, was perfect for the two of us. I ordered branzino as an entree T, linguini Pescatore. The whole fish is brought out and fileted tableside. While I took a photo, it was just one unflattering shot of the head (which I'm not posting.) The branzino was mild and flakey, good, though the seasoning didn't break through the skin rendering it a little bland. Excellent grilled potatoes and vegetables completed my dinner. My husband's linguini was delish; while the pasta isn't made in house, it tasted like it could be, served al dente, of course. The tomato sauce was spicy enough to bring the dish over the top. Portobello is byob. (Another Yelper mentioned an $8 corkage fee, but unless they forgot to charge us, they disbanded the policy.) After our meal, with takeout box packed -- there was a lot of fish -- we were offered amaretto as a digestif. A nice touch! The restaurant isn't all that convenient to where we live but we enjoyed dinner enough to warrant a repeat visit. Next time I'll try something Italian. Or maybe salmon, which looked pretty good. Reservations suggested, particularly on weekends.
