We started with some gratis apps including flutes of cool spicy watermelon soup --well chilled with a nice heat and tempered with cilantro and a duo of hearty olive bread and butter. Entrees included shrimp with rice vermicelli and hanger steak--both were delicious and excellent choices. We ended the meal finishing up our wine and sharing a creamy panna cotta topped with a compote of fresh berries. Finally, I would be remiss if I did not give a shout out to Roy our server for excellent service even though he was juggling both inside and outside tables.

The space appears brighter and more inviting than before, and their menu although small had additional specials. The young man who greeted us at the door was also our server. When I asked him about the French onion soup, he said it was their most popular appetizer, so we both decided to try it. Toasted French bread and a delicious butter flavored with a bit of tomato was lovely as we enjoyed our own wine. (The restaurant is still BYOB.) A complimentary "shot" of mushroom soup was hot and creamy. When the French onion soup came out, we couldn't say enough about it. It wasn't overly cheesy or "bready" as it just had a few toasted croutons on top. The soup itself wasn't too salty as onion soup sometimes tends to be. As an entree, I had the special which was rock shrimp with a Fra Diavolo sauce over pasta. It wasn't as spicy as I had hoped, and I would have loved bigger pieces of shrimp/more shrimp, but it was still good. My husband enjoyed his harissa lamb ragout over cavatappi even though his was spicier than expected and, similar to mine, could have had more lamb. Our attentive server made sure everything came out at the right time. The restaurant was quiet and comfortable, and we enjoyed a rare weeknight out. I'm sure we'll be back.

The lobster and vegetable salad was an amazing start. The pastas are always fantastic and the cappelletti with morels may have been the best yet.

My husband and I had dinner at Andiario a week or so ago when we spent a day in West Chester. The…read morerestaurant offers pre set dinners (four courses for $85), with a menu that changes every week, inspired by the season and the bounty of Pennsylvania produce. The restaurant is beautiful and still very comfortable. And the service was outstanding. They brought me a little stool for my purse, which is such a nice touch. And they were so helpful and friendly as they stopped by our table to explain each course on the night's menu. I also really enjoyed my wine, and my husband his cocktail. While the experience was lovely, I was underwhelmed by the meal unfortunately. They brought us a little starter (off menu) - a fritter with duck confit, which had good flavor but an odd texture. The first course was turnips and squid, which was okay (I didn't get the squid on the dish - it didn't have much flavor or do much for the dish). The second course was Pizzoccheri - a pasta dish made of hearty, dark buckwheat pasta with boiled potatoes, Savoy cabbage, melted cheese, and butter. It was delicious and rich and great for winter (it snowed later that night - the first of the season). I was glad they served a single portion for two people - because it is rich. But I'd eat it again for sure, my favorite dish of the night by far. The third course was a strip loin with salsify and leek cream. This dish was pretty good, too. I loved the salsify - I'd never had it before. And the jus was delicious. I didn't love the cook on the strip loin - it was medium rare on one end and over medium on the other. The dessert was a profiterole with candied quince and cherry. It was too sweet for me, and I didn't taste much of the quince or cherry. The dish I'd want to eat again is the Pizzoccheri, for sure. It was a lovely meal - the restaurant has a great ambiance and the service was wonderful. I didn't love the food on this first visit, but their menu is creative and it's very possible that on another night it would blow me away. I do love a set menu/tasting menu at this price point and with only four courses - a great value, and a great portion of food (not too much like some tasting menus). It's beautiful spot in West Chester; I'd be happy to try it again if I'm in West Chester for dinner again.

Yes for pub atmosphere, yes for Irish feelings, yes for huge portions. Maybe for comfort…read more We came in right before valentines day and loved how over decorated the place was. We got seated right behind the live music and I'm so glad we asked to move since we got the cozy fireplace table and there's no way we could have heard eachother otherwise. The chairs were weirdly uncomfortable and seemed a mix of styles. When everything else called to be cozy that was an odd misstep in a cold winter night. They were out of a handful of things but they did have a super extra special menu to try. We had to sample the mashed potato balls but honestly they were dense and dry without a lot of flavor. If you mixed with the sauce they were ok but don't really recommend. The stews were amazing, and the shepherds pie will absolutely take you back to the island, and huge portions. The yak burger really tasted great but it was one of those "too huge to fit" type of burgers so be aware. The desserts really weren't inspiring so we skipped. This is very popular and the bar area was totally packed when we headed out. I'd say worth going but ask for where you want to sit and be prepared to just take awhile.

We got to the restaurant and were seated promptly, given that we had a reservation. We walked…read morethrough the front room, which was setup like a typical bar, and into the dining area in the next room. A live guitarist was setting up for the evening in the space between the two rooms. He started playing just after we were seated, and it was a bit loud from the proximity, but a member of our party asked if we could move. After checking with the hostess, we were whisked away to a cozier table by the room's fireplace. Given the cold weather, it was quite nice. That table also had some more comfortable seats, so I'm glad they could accommodate the switch. Our server was quite personable, and took good care of us as we ordered drinks and waited for the rest of our group. She did need to check on some menu items and they had some sold our dishes, but there were plenty of options still. When the food came, one of our entrees had a small mix up, but it was resolved before the rest of our food made it out. My shepherd's pie filling was deliciously rich. The mashed potatoes on top were broiled to crispy perfection. I didn't love the bread on the side, but I had more than enough pie to fill me up. Overall, I'd love to go back and try some other menu options.

I suppose a restaurant almost has a disadvantage when one has heard endlessly about how fantastic…read moreit is, thus setting one's expectations quite high when making one's reservation. A friend and I came by for a quiet supper to catch up and hopefully have an enjoyable dining experience. To start off, the Caesar salad and focaccia were indeed quite tasty. After being talked into trying the tasting menu, I was disheartened upon taking my first bite of the chicken Parmigiana and accompanying pasta. Both seemed as if they had been sitting for a while and then were unevenly reheated. The pasta, in particular, was lackluster and worse than anything I might have hurriedly boiled at eleven at night upon arriving home after a long trip and finding only packaged pasta and canned tomato sauce in the cupboard. But I could have lived with all of this had it not been for the service. Clearly my friend and I were the afterthought of all afterthoughts to our disinterested waitress. After hounding us to order before we had properly reviewed the menu, she promptly put us on the pay-no-mind list, as dirty dish after dirty dish accumulated at the table from the tasting menu she had so strongly urged me to try. I also abhor cheapness on the part of restaurants. Would it have killed Rosemary to offer us a second piece of focaccia, given that there were two of us and the portion was a better fit for just one? Lest anyone accuse me of having expected the waitstaff to read my mind, I indeed asked. It's not like we weren't spending a pretty penny there. The business could have well afforded to allow each of us a reasonable portion of its much-touted starter. After we finally managed to flag down our waitress amid the plethora of dirty dishes still sporting some of the mediocre food, I paid in cash on account of the restaurant informing me on the bill that a surcharge would be applied to a credit card transaction. Another joy! When the waitress took the note, she said, "Thank you," and that was that. I decided against calling after her to request change since it was one of those borderline instances where the note was close enough to twenty percent that it is a bit awkward to request someone return with change. So she walked off with a 26% or so tip after having left us on the dining equivalent of "read" the entire night. And then there's the issue of price: While not outrageous, everything is 15-20% more expensive than it should be, and after one pauses to think about it, the tasting menu offers barely any deal at all. If one orders the chicken like I did, it is no cheaper than ordering the starter, entrée, and dessert à la carte. If Rosemary had also offered, say, a soup, then it would be a deal. But clearly generosity is not in its owner's purview. The tiramisu, I will say, was excellent, and my friend and I enjoyed every morsel, and for that reason, along with the Caesar salad, I can muster three stars. Had I not walked through the door having heard so many people rave about Rosemary, perhaps I would have found it to be a restaurant with a pleasant ambiance, a good appetizer, and fine dessert despite a thoroughly middling entrée. But a Delco gem it is not.

Fortunately, I was served a different dish after I demonstrated I couldn't cut into the short rib with the knife I was given.

One of my favorite parts of the night was just sitting at the bar and talking with the good people on both sides of us. Always a sign of a place doing things right. I ordered the Black Truffle Cheesesteak. This thing brought a TON of flavor. The meat was finely chopped, tender, and easy to eat with every bite. The truffle added a rich punch without taking over the cheesesteak. It came on a traditional roll... but I think this steak deserves an upgrade. Give me a roll that can match the flavor level happening inside. The cheesesteak came with fries and checked in at $22. You already know my feelings about cheesesteak prices... For drinks, I went with the passion fruit margarita. Since I was with Jen, obviously passion fruit was the move. I enjoyed it, but next visit I'll save the extra $2 and stick with the classic margarita. Good people, good atmosphere, and a cheesesteak that leaves room for debate.
