    Romaine Heart Caesar with Salmon

    A warm Sunday evening and an early dinner at Lola's. Quickly seated outside, though it seems they weren't using their main patio. Friendly server and fast service. We enjoyed the Brussels sprouts w/hot honey and our cocktails. I loved my Suburban Squared bourbon drink with lemon. Our salads were delicious and the falafel was perfectly done and a great pairing with the feta cheese. There weren't a lot of nectarine slices but they also weren't very flavorful so that was fine. It was lovely to sit outside by the fountain.

    We came here for dinner while staying at my sister's before she moved. We were seated outside. It looked like a nice and busy spot, lots of seating indoor and outdoor but mostly packed when we went. I got the pasta and hubby got the pizza, they were pretty good. We had a nice night.

    One of my favorite restaurants in Ardmore is Lola's Garden. The food is always so so good and their drinks?- 10/10. I highly reccomend going for brunch so you can pick between their amazing breakfast and lunch menu (the cinnamon rolls were top notch) This is a perfect place to stop by if you're shopping in the town center and need a bite! Once the weather stays nice out, their outdoor space is really lovely too!

    Came here for the first time for a friend's birthday. The staff were very nice and accommodating! Food was great to share in a spread. The inside was nicely decorated and bustling (even after a storm). A small thing that bothered me but really isnt a huge deal, was the layout of the seated tables inside. We were at a round table next to the fake tree inside, and next to the bathroom and bar, and anytime other guests on the other side of the restaurant were trying to get to the bathroom, they would shove themselves behind us to get through. It was a strange path choice considering there wasnt much room behind us and we were constantly interrupted and having to move our seat to let people through. I think the flow of the room could be better so this doesnt happen but otherwise it was a good spot for catch up with friends!

    Came here on a whim because it was always cute and I wanted to try something new in the Suburban Station area. The decor is pretty cute. Service was very lacking. Waited at the hostess area for 5 minutes to be seated. Tables and bar station were pretty empty. There were, literally, 5 people inside the restaurant when we entered. Should've known it was a red flag. Only ordered 3 things on the menu because nothing else really peaked my interest. The duck fat fries were okay. Crispy. The rigatoni was good but it did not come out piping hot. Semi warm. The scallops were not fresh. I was able to finish 4 out of 5 though. Truly regret eating that now because it really messed up stomach up. Almost didn't make it home because my tummy was turning and churning. Get my drift? Anyway, I wouldn't recommend going there. The place, literally, left a bad taste in my mouth with a sh!tty experience.

    We had a delicious dinner at Lola's Garden tonight. It's located in Suburban Square in Ardmore. There are many parking options nearby. The interior is rustic chic. There were many great choices on the menu. We tried the whipped ricotta as an appetizer. The presentation of the whipped ricotta and puréed beets was as beautiful as it was delicious. For our entrees we had the Amish fried chicken and the smashburgers. The portions were generous, and we devoured it all. Our server was Michael D. He was friendly and attentive. I told the manager on our way out how great Michael D. is. This was our first time going to Lola's, and I know we'll be back.

    A friend and I went for brunch on Saturday late afternoon. We didn't have a reservation so it was about a 10 min wait for a table. The inside was filled with pretty decor and we sat by an open window so it was bright and airy. I ordered a sangria a which was refreshing. For our meal we started by sharing the cinnamon rolls. They were a good size - the frosting was delicious, although the bread part was a little plain. For my dish I got the breakfast croissant - I asked for no meat and substitute avocado which they did for me, very much appreciated. The breakfast potatoes that came with my sandwich were my favorite - they were so crispy! Overall it was a nice place for brunch

    Pookie and I came here for a Friday night date night. We sat by the open window inside of the restaurant, and I reveled in the breezy fall air all through the evening. We ordered the following during happy hour: 1. 2 Suburban Wides - I ordered Hell or High Watermelon and Hidden Still Tequila, and pookie ordered Cape May Oktoberfest and Five and 20 Bourbon. Mine was way better, and I had the best buzz :) 2. Grass Fed Burger - We shared the burger, and it was juicy, but not particularly rave worthy. At the end of the day, it's just a burger. 3. Duck Fat Fries - Below average fries. The majority of the fries were bits and pieces as it was mostly the fried ends that nobody wants. I will say, the garlic aioli was nice though. I liked our server, and I loved the energy of the restaurant. It was perky, cheery, yet romantic. It was beautiful sitting by the window with fresh air and getting to watch the sky become dark was a treat.

    It's not often you find a comforting space that serves delicious brunch and provides great service, but Lola's Garden proved to be a winner with both. I visited over the weekend with a friend. She hadn't arrived yet but they allowed me to be seated at a table. It was a very busy day for Lola's, however, the staff were friendly and efficient. While I waited, I ordered an espresso martini. I haven't had one in a while but this cocktail didn't give me the jolt of energy I was waiting for. Still very tasty though! My entree was the falafel. I don't know what made me think the falafel would be served inside the pita bread but the pita was on the side instead. The falafel itself was amazing - not too dry and perfectly crunchy! The fries were excellent, too. Our waitress was so sweet and checked in every so often. She noticed we were catching up and reassured us there was absolutely no rush to leave. We ended up being one of the last few customers in there. There were other waiters and waitresses floating around helping to clear tables and refill our waters. I've heard Ardmore participates in their own Restaurant Week and I think this would be an awesome place to take advantage of the specials! Next time, I'll try Lola's for lunch or dinner.

    Absolutely beautiful location! Excellent vegetarian options and mocktails! Food was delicious! Would definitely come here again!

    Went in for late lunch and enjoyed every bit of it. Space is large with a verity of seating options and it's very clean. Sevice was quick and pleasant. The bar staff was friendly. The food was delicious. I got fries, brussel sprouts and a delicious chicken sandwich (so good I forgot to take a pic). And the most refreshing drink.

    This place has cute and cozy decor, and in the warm spring, it is open to the elements even when indoor seating is opted for. We made reservations last minute for Sunday brunch and were pleasantly surprised that the reservation probably wasn't needed. We were seated immediately. Our server was training, so we had plenty of attention from her and her coach. The service was very good. Food and drinks were even better! My daughter started with a clementine creme soda mocktail; it wasn't her speed, so she switched to a sprite. I took a sip of it and thought it was really good. My husband had a "taken for pomegranate," and I started with a "butterfly gimlet," finished with "gin violet sour," and I can't wait to try more of the drink menu! I wish I had noticed the cocktail flights earlier. My husband ordered the French toast, and it was topped with a yummy peach compote. I had the broccolini omlette with Ricotta cheese and breakfast potatoes and mixed greens as sides. The omlette was ripped with pesto, and leftovers even held up well. My daughter had the breakfast sandwich and French fries with garlic aoili, and she had no complaints.

    3 flavorless meals and an appy at our table. Below average, I would skip this place. Brussels were dry and not enough hot honey.

    Great little neighborhood pub that is probably overlooked by their flashier competitors up on…read moreLancaster Avenue. I've never been disappointed with my food here, and you like pub fare you're sure to find something on the menu that will hit the spot. The brisket grilled cheese was phenomenal (though more meat than cheese) and their roast pork rivals anything you'll find in the city. They have a wide variety of options on tap too. Worth checking out.

    I've been to McCloskeys a few times recently, and while I've heard great things about them...I've…read moreyet to experience it. I ordered the roast beef sandwich with fries...my friend ordered muscles and the ham sandwich special. The muscles arrived cold. Not warm, not tepid...just cold. They were sent back for a trip in the microwave which is a place that shellfish should never journey too...if you want them to remain tender. When I ordered, I asked about a few items and was assured that "people love the roast beef". Now I've had "French Dip" style roast beef before at other restaurants, and when done right...it's a memorable experience. Crusty toasted torpedo style roll brimming with thinly sliced hot beef...provolone cheese melted over the top and down the sides...served with a side of au jus dipping sauce, that you would want to slurp down a soup bowl full. But this...was not that! The sandwich arrived on a hamburger style bun...the meat was piled "adequately" in the center but sloped off considerably as it headed for the edge of the bun. There was no need to worry about meat falling out as I took a bite...as none of it protruded past the buns edge. The cheese was there...a single uninspired round slice covered the cold and somewhat soggy bottom of the bun... and wasn't melted...at all! I suspect that the kitchen assumed that the meat would melt the cheese...but the meat would have to be hot for that to happen. In this sandwich...the closer you got to the middle of the "meat mound"...the colder it got. And little did I know when asked if I wanted provolone on the sandwich...that it would be an additional charge. Now for my fries. They weren't hot...they weren't even warm...they were "ice cold"! I sent them back light heartedly joking that there must be a door open in the kitchen (it was a cold evening) and the server returned shortly with hot fresh ones...minus the pickles that were on my plate. This goes to show that fries can reach the table...hot. The hot ham and cheese sandwich "special", served on a pretzel bun, wasn't hot...and wasn't special. I saw no melted cheese...only thin dry slices of ham, stiff as roofing shingles, protruded from the roll. There was no mustard...no sauce...no "something special" to make the "special", special... just stiff little sad ham planks...wondering where they went wrong On both recent visits...the service has been "spotty". (I know that cell service in the pub isn't spotty, because on my first visit...both servers had their heads buried in their phones). It doesn't seem like there's a real system in place for insuring that the customers receive "attentive" service. To their credit...they did remove the muscles from the check without us asking...but I never got a feeling that the next party to walk through the door...would have a better experience. When you find a good local pub with great food...it's like going to eat at grandmas house. You know that you'll always leave feeling warm, wanted, and fed really well. And you'll be excited by the thought of a return visit. I'm still looking.

It's called Izzy's because at its core it's a casual Izakaya where you can enjoy sushi, bao, drinks, and more without even needing a reservation (https://www.phillymag.com/foobooz/2025/05/28/izzys-cocktail-bar-izakaya-ardmore/) four nights a week. But its all a passion project from the Ripplewood team that does all that with a good fusion twist that yields very little confusion. Your old fashioned might come with an aged dark rum instead of a whiskey, your salmon hand roll might be the perfect lox bagel without the bagel, and your bao bun might come birria taco style, and all of the above are absolute serendipity! The menu does shift regularly enough to the point where you'll find at least one new favorite among old staple with each visit, and you also want to be prepared to find out about specials and get spot-on recommendations from the welcoming staff. For cocktails I've immensely enjoyed their versions of dark & stormy's, olde fashioned's, the Last Word (https://www.phillymag.com/foobooz/2025/06/19/izzys-ardmore-last-word/), and then some. But they also have a weel rounded selection of Japanese whiskeys, and you best believe that they have Hitachino Nest beer! For food I've enjoyed the following; Salmon Philly Handroll - The perfect lox bagel without the bagel comes with sushi grade salmon, creme fraiche, and everything bagel spice in a seaweed wrap. Hokkaido Scallop Handroll - the perfect buttery scallops with an umami bomb speak for themselves! Miso Soup - You haven't had miso soup until you had this freshmaker version that perfectly serves two. Hands down the best version I've ever had! Nigiri - All the nigiri, all of it is good! Spicy Cucumbers - the perfect chilled vegetable to share with the table with a bit of spice and flavor that rivals my belove Han Dynasty and Dan Dan versions! Birria Bao Buns - Somehow the best queso free birria I've had might not come with a taco?! My favorite seat is the window booth that overlooks all of downtown Ardmore. But my second favorite is standing so I can play a free game of pinball!

    Pssst....want to know the BEST kept secret on the Main Line? Renting the hall at the Palombaro…read moreClub (AKA "The Big Club") for your next event. The Palombaro Club is one of two private social clubs in Ardmore. They are both on the same block of County Line Road, hence the name "Big Club" (the other club, the IACCA, is the "Little Club" because it's 1/3 the size). They have been here for a very long time, easily 40 years or more. The venue itself has an upper floor with a large hall, stage, long bar and catering kitchen. There's also a coat room and restrooms in the vestibule. The space with catering tables could hold 75 with a dance floor, 100 - 125 without a dance area. It is clean, well kept, not 'elegant' but also not 'tacky'. There are two flat screen TVs above the bar, for us we had them broadcast the playoff game which made folks happy. There is no smoking permitted in the large hall. The lower level is the social club with a larger bar, smaller tables, much more of a bar/club environment (people do smoke cigarettes down there, but you could not smell or hear anything from downstairs when on the upper floor). They sometimes will rent that out (Superbowl party, anyone?). This is a club run by the members, Charlie is the 'coordinator' for rentals, he is a sweet, straight-talking guy who works professionally as a glazer. He can be a bit hard to get and is not always at the club, but he is a seriously nice and accommodating man. They do not have a website or a club email, you call the club and ask for Charlie. He does return calls pretty quickly. Now the BEST part? Almost shamefully inexpensive. Your party dollar will go far with them. They supply a bartender and the alcohol (you can specify what options you want to offer, they run an open tab for you or you can cash bar). You supply the caterer, they do not have restrictions on who can be brought in, and you supply the entertainment (band, DJ, iPod). Plus, you're supporting a longstanding social club in the area. We had a wonderful event there and will definitely be back!
