We wanted to sit at the bar, which was pretty crowded, but we were able to get seats. Shelby, the bartender, was friendly, and we started with crispy Brussels sprouts, which were tasty with a chipotle dipping sauce. We also ordered the pork tenderloin and a grouper special served on grilled watermelon, which of course, I had to try. The food was creative, original, and delicious. We definitely want to try the brunch menu.

The sweet potato fries was the highlight of the meal for me. The sandwich was so so. My husband ordered the crabcake that was served on a bed of rice. The crab cake was delicious, but it seemed a little odd to serve it on rice. The other couple seemed to be happy with their meals. One ordered a steak and the other the beef bourguignon. We noticed they have a happy hour menu. I would definitely go back to try that. The service was great and the ambience was very nice. There was also live music when we arrived, which was a nice touch.

The layout is pretty basic with a series of long high-top tables with a few lower tables to boot. I asked for a spicy Blood-Mary and that's exactly what I received ! Well done! Other breakfast items came as ordered and all of the food was very good . Prices were fair and we really enjoyed our time there and whenever in the area would definetly return.

The food is delicious and seasoned very well. It was better than many of the offsite restaurants we tried. Everyone there is so friendly and we got to know many of the servers, bartenders, etc. Kudos to Tiera, Victoria and Amanda who are all awesome! During our visits, we had the pan seared salmon, grilled pork chop, crab eggrolls and fried mozzarella. The salmon and pork chop were delicious! The eggrolls had a great crab flavor and a sauce that had a slight kick. There is inside and outside seating. I recommend River Rock Kitchen if you are staying at the hotel or in the area.

We recently held a celebration of life for my mom here, and from the moment we walked in, I knew…read morethis room was going to hold something special. Planning an event like this isn't easy -- there's so much weight to it, wanting every detail to honor someone you love -- and this team made that possible in a way I'll always be grateful for. The decor in the room was beautiful. Soft draping along the ceiling, a gorgeous chandelier, candlelight, and floral centerpieces on every table -- it felt warm and intimate, like the space itself was wrapping its arms around all of us as we gathered to remember her. Seeing my mom's photo up on the screens around the room, surrounded by family and friends sharing stories, laughter, and tears, is something I'll never forget. The service that night was incredible. The staff moved through the room with such care, making sure everyone felt looked after, but never once making it feel like just another event. The bartenders, especially, brought such an open, easygoing energy -- they were so fun to be around, and they helped lighten the mood in a way that let us laugh and celebrate my mom's life, even amid the grief. Looking back, that mix of comfort and joy meant so much. The food was super delicious too, and in moments like this, even small things -- a warm meal, a kind smile, a drink poured with a little extra care -- mean far more than people realize. I have to give a heartfelt and BIG shoutout to Amanda, the event coordinator/manager. She was an absolute sweetheart, and her calm, caring presence made it possible for our family to actually be present in the moment instead of worrying about logistics. She made sure everything -- from the setup to the TVs and microphones working perfectly for the tributes -- ran smoothly, and her thoughtfulness didn't go unnoticed by any of us. Hosting something this meaningful in a space that felt this beautiful, with people this kind, made all the difference on one of the hardest days. I am endlessly grateful to Amanda, the bartenders, and the entire team at Tonic for helping us celebrate my mom's life with so much love. I can't recommend this venue enough!!

Had a great time at dinner with a friend at Zollie's!…read more Very friendly staff, great atmosphere, talented jazz musicians providing entertainment for our Saturday dinner. It's a small place, and the music can be a little loud, so best for a smaller, intimate group of diners. Cocktails were solid --- my friend ordered the Winter White Cosmo (which uses white cranberry juice), which was delicious, and I chose the Lady in Red, a vodka drink featuring hibiscus and elderflower which was yummy as well. We started with the cornbread and the brussels sprouts. The cornbread was good, though the texture was more dense and less crumbly than I expected... and though it's pitched as "sweet and spicy," the emphasis is more on "sweet." The brussels sprouts with fig-balsamic glaze and parmesan were delicious, though! My friend ordered the gumbo, which she enjoyed but noted it was quite spicy! I chose the salmon, which is cooked en papillote with a banana leaf and served with a salad of arugula, bell peppers, mango, and papaya on top. The salmon texture was perfect, and it was a delicious, lighter option for dinner. Overall, the food didn't blow my mind, but it's such a fun and welcoming atmosphere that I would definitely go back.

The attendees all complimented on how wonderful it turned out. I met with Joe, the owner, who called me back immediately and met with me the same day. He was incredibly accommodating and I picked from one of their funeral reception packages but customized it by adding several more items. He even offered to stream the kind of music I wanted in the background. Because the restaurant doesn't open until late afternoon we had the restaurant to ourselves so parking was easy and there were no distractions. The food was displayed beautifully but more importantly it tasted good. Tyler, the bar manager, had a great personality and when not making drinks walked around clearing tables and offering to get people drinks since it was an older crowd. All in all, if you are looking for a place to hold an event I highly recommend The Marshallton. I thought it was priced reasonably and they really delivered. Really can't say enough about the food and management. Im so happy we chose the Marshallton and will definitely recommend them to everyone I know.

I enjoyed the bacon and cheese potato kegs. My wife and I split the BLT and grilled cheese. Hers came with a side salad mine with shoe string fries. My son has the salad. Salmon was very good, it was vodka cured; bloodline and skin removed (+++)! Grain was pretty busy for mid-afternoon on a Sunday. Modern pub/ sports pub feel. Phillies game on the TVs. Music playing. Service was OK. My one pet peeve is allowing servers to leave dirty dishes and empty glasses on the table. And our server, although attentive, did not clear any dishes or glasses. Thank god I don't have epilepsy, the light over our table kept blinking non-stop. Plenty of off street parking for patrons. Lots of varied seating, both indoor and outdoor. See warning sign in my pics (haha). As far as prices, they are in line with any other places, as far as these other reviews that said it is excessively expensive, not true. Lunches are $15-20. Apps are a little pricey. Nice beer selection in the $8 ish range. Forgot I wanted to get a pan dessert, next time. I paid using InKind and got a nice discount.

It's more of a cup portion than the price might suggest but quite rich and delicious. We each had a salad. The pork belly crisps in the arugula salad made it a bit more filling, so consider that in ordering. I had the butter poached halibut from the regular menu. It sits upon the thin spanakopita with the sun-dried tapenade on top. The latter was intensely flavored with tomato. A beautiful presentation, but the pairing of the pungent sides with the delicate fish didn't work. My friend had the jerk seasoned hake from the special. Accompanied by a pea risotto and plantains, it was outstanding! Generous pour if you order wine by the glass and for sparkling water, they bring you an entire beautiful blue bottle of Saratoga water. Espresso is odd. Just in a regular coffee cup? With a wedge of lemon? Maybe they just make it for the ubiquitous espresso martinis. Elegant old style decor
