Our meals were great, service was okay but the price of the martinis was twice the cost of our food. Not acceptable 😔.

Very enjoyable evening. Short ribs were delicious and very tender. Burger was huge. Villanova fries were loaded with brisket and cheese. Waitress apologized for slow kitchen but it was not too much of a delay. Will definitely return.

They seemed short on help. We were seated quite a while before we were served even a glass of water. They must have realized because the host actually came over and poured our water and apologized for the delay. Next up were drinks. Two were fine and 2 seemed skimpy. We didn't complain but when I reordered another it was twice the size...seems very inconsistent. Not sure why the first pour was so skimpy. When it came to entrees, 3 out of 4 were fine but the last one came out wrong and was sent back. When it did come back the meat was not at the proper temperature. We have been there several times before and always had a good experience. I will chalk this one up to an off night. However, it may be quite a while before we return.
