The Dello Chef salad with grapes, pears, and Gorgonzola was big enough to share as an appetizer.
Melissa R.

We met friends for dinner at Teca in West Chester. Although we've been to the one in Newtown Square, this was our first visit to their West Chester location. We liked the darker, pub-like decor of this one more than the one in Newtown Square, especially since we were seated in a booth away from the bar. It was noisy but not so loud that we couldn't have a conversation. Service was on the slower side maybe because the restaurant was busy. My husband and I shared the Dello Chef salad with crumbled Gorgonzola. It was a good size for sharing. For the table, we also ordered one of their huge meatballs which was one of the best we've had. As an entree, I had the Linguine Allo Scoglio with mussels, clams, calamari, and shrimp. I was happy that they didn't shy away from a little heat as the dish was topped with a slightly spicy San Marzano tomato sauce. It was hot and delicious, and I ended up taking some of it home. My friend liked her Gnocchi Pomodoro, and her husband said the Chicken Parmigiana was equally good and filling. Both left with leftovers. My husband liked his lasagna too which arrived in a mini pan. Overall, it was a satisfying and delicious dinner, and none of us walked out hungry.

Seasonal special goat cheese ravioli with chicken and cranberries- excellent!

We made reservations for Teca during a West Chester downtown event and open table said they had no availability. Called the restaurant and they got us in before the dinner rush. We went and were seated right away and the place was busy. We ordered the special ravioli and it was awesome but the gnocchi dish was just ok. They do not bring you bread unless you ask. Many people get drinks and eat at the bar. Our server was great! This place may be better during the summer when they have outdoor seating.

Salmon wrap

I always enjoy Teca. Impeccable service; Katie was impressive being able to go through all of the special. My salmon wrap was delicious along with the figs. Great lunch. Last few days to sit outside.

Lobster Ravioli
Lexie K.

Great location in downtown West Chester. Tons of outdoor seating which is perfect for a cool summer night. If you like wine, this place is for you! They have an entire menu boom of just wine; I've never seen so many wine options before. I had The Bitter Man drink which was delish. It tasted like a Manhattan- Old Fashioned hybrid. It was smooth and strong with just a hint of sweet. Highly recommend. The starter hummus plate was a great start. I loved the roasted peppers with it. Everything on the plate was very fresh and flavors were perfectly complementary. The lobster ravioli were delicious. I was very hesitant to get them but am so glad I did. It was creamy and very savory without being overwhelming. There were big chunks of lobster in each ravioli.

Eatin in the street
Matthew B.

I guess I have a love-hate relationship with Teca. I do like the vibe and the outdoor seating. And I will say that their wine by the glass selections are typically outstanding. Stopped in last night to have a quick bite before the show - we got the cheese and the charcuterie boards. I will tell you that for the price both of them were lackluster. Not awful but simply little imagination - the charcuterie board Was more like cold cuts. The part that really got me was the very slow service. We waited almost 40 minutes to get what should've taken maybe 10. The social scene here is good, just wish they could maintain some type of consistency in the service and food department.

Orange martini
Briana N.

Stopped in on a very rainy Saturday night and was not disappointed! There was a private event going on upstairs and the dining room was quite full,, but we were able to sit right away with no reservation. We were seated upstairs in a separate room with no other people in it. By the end of our dinner, other people were in the room but it was a bit awkward. All the staff we talked to were very nice and accommodating. We got the burrata (recommended by waiter) and Calamari di fritti for apps. They brought out bread and olive oil too. We got the tortellini special, lobster ravioli and rigatoni for our entrees. All was delicious! I also got an orange martini, which was very good. It is a bit on the fancier/ more expensive side for downtown west Chester, but I didn't feel underdressed wearing ripped jeans. This was a great dinner spot!

Lasagna

Everyone loves Teca, it's a West Chester staple. The staff is almost always professional and the food is phenomenal for the area. We've also had several events here including a large gathering where we rented the entire side room. All great experiences. Tonight we went for post COVID outdoor seating and it seemed super safe but also good vibes.

NY Strip, w/mushroom and Gorgonzola
Jim B.

Interesting to read some of the reviews here and I respect everyone's experience and opinions. Definitely sorry to read some of the encounters with apparent ownership... Our visit was the first for all of us, an indoor booth of 6. Cassandra could not have been nicer or more attentive and accomplished. She took great care of us. Our seating was 4:30pm on a Saturday. The outdoor sidewalk/street setup looked great too but we opted for indoor reservations due to possible weather... Drinks were great, tap beer was tasty, wine by the glass started off well and evolved into a bottle for table. Hummus, grilled octopus, bread and mozzarella started us off. The hummus was wildly great! Veal chop, lobster ravioli, NY Strip (with mushroom/gorgonzola), rigatoni, lasagna, all fabulous entrees. The tiramisu to finish was exceptional. One chocolate cake made an appearance as well and disappeared too. I know there are a lot of choices in West Chester, we were visiting, this choice was made for us; it was a good one! Thank you again Cassandra for taking great care of us and serving up a 5-star first experience!

A quality neighborhood bar. Saturday at 2 PM and the place is packed with some people not having…read moreseats. Seemed like an early rush for a bar. I don't know of a game going on today. The bartender at the time was particularly very friendly and I could tell he gave off the same vibe to everyone. As I left this bar with a friend, one of the (assumedly) local patrons was telling us we should've purposely nudged a guy seated so that we could more easily leave the bar instead of slowly crossing over. That particular patron looked back at the first guy very annoyed. The first guy was probably already at least semi-drunk and just kept trying to go on with his "joke". Another thing that surprises me is that this bar is closed all day Sunday and that they open at 8 AM according to the Yelp page and stay open until 2 AM. Those are mad hours This coming Sunday, there was a big game with Eagles versus the 49ers. I've never heard of a bar open so early in the morning and not open on Sundays. Not open on Sunday because a lot of regular church-goers in the area, or the staff need a break and maybe they would want to go to church? Reminds me of Chik-Fil-A without the super late hours and instead of family friendly style food and drink and chicken icon, booze instead. There were no smokers when me and my friend were there. I was thankful for that. It looks like PA started to ban smoking in all bars in 2021. Personally, don't miss it! I already have a hard enough time breathing and sleeping without being around that stuff! No food at this establishment. Quality drinks on tap and reasonable prices. Nice staff. From a neighborhood bar, can you ask for anything more?

Great little bar. Cheap on tap beers, friendly bartender, fun atmosphere. I have never seen a truly…read moreon tap before & was excited but disappointed with how flat it was. It is a small tight area but if you go when it's not too busy, it's perfect for a group. Lots of t-shirt sizes. I'll be back!

The decor and color palette create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. We started our evening in the speakeasy. It's on the smaller side, which I enjoy--as long as I can grab a seat! Otherwise, I might wish for just a bit more space. Once seated, our server struck the perfect balance: attentive, friendly, and incredibly patient while we took our time deciding. The food arrived beautifully presented, hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Overall, a great experience--we'll definitely be back soon!

Excitedly anticipated reservations at West Chester Seafood Kitchen and our stay out stood the expectations. Oh what fun it is to brunch!!! We arrived with 10:30am reservations, arrived and were promptly seated in the middle of the dining room. This place has so much space! The tables are proportioned about well and love the long bench seating opposed from the kitchen window. Decor is tidy and of modern aesthetic ocean vibes. Everything complemented, including the floor pattern - which I obsessed over, lol. Absolutely adored the built in and all the nautical knick knacks. Our waitress was a doll. Charming, attentive and spoke with great eye contact. We decided on eats and a mid morning cocktail. I had the standard espresso martini and my husband tried one of peanut butter variety. Both deep in espresso flavor and not too sweet. Oysters to start. A half dozen of 3 varieties. So wonderful to be able to select a few kinds to sample. We enjoyed them all. Very clean and super fresh. My husband loves horseradish, so it was so nice they offered their standard cocktail sauce with extra. The mini Tabasco sauce we had to take home as memento. Brunch entrees- my husband went part poultry and I kept true to seafood. He had first the Clam Chowder. Lumps of clam and a mid-cream broth. Nice balance of stock and cream. Potatoes did not overtake. This was light but hearty. He dove into those Chicken and Waffles with delight. A savory waffle - how can you not love. And the honey jalapeño butter, I found as much as I could to dip into. Chicken was most and crisp. Hitting all the texture and flavors- sweet, spicy, crunchy with this dish. Delicious. Now my Lobster Roll- LOBSTER!!!! This was incredible. I ate the whole damn thing. The roll was toasty and buttery. The lobster was juicy and plentiful, it was allowed to stand on its own. Didn't push up on too much mayo, or celery, or tarragon. Let the seafood shine - and it did!! The fries were hand cut, and freshly fried. Only critique was the slaw. It was just there. Would recommend to nix it. It didn't add to the dish. This Lobster Roll I will keep in my thoughts of how I am now tainted against all others. Wonderfully done. We cannot wait to venture down again and experience more of their menu. Ahoy!! Come here to eat! King of the Sea in the Dub C!
