This may be my go to restaurant in PA for Happy Hour. 50% off all wine and beer. Local has a great selection which makes it as great HH spot. I really like their chicken tacos. They load them up with meat for HH. Seriously good grub. Service was good. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

I'm surprised this popular place isn't rated higher under the Cafe' category. The restaurant is small and at 1:30pm on a Sunday there was a long line to order, but moved quickly. The selections are great. We tried the Crabcake and Salmon Benedicts which were very satisfying. Our tiny table was just a few inches from other diners' so I inquired about their juice. I recommend trying the 1/2 orange and 1/2 carrot juices; delicious! I would give this place 5 stars if it were more spacious with better seating.

Came here today for a retirement party. The food and service were both very good. Had the lobster bisque, sea bass, and chocolate cake for dessert. The side dishes included au gratin potatoes, lobster mac and cheese, and brussel sprouts. All good and tasty. Great atmosphere.

For starters had roasted octopus and for my mains seared scallops. Cooked, prepared and presented to perfection so delicious and sumptuous. It really wowed my taste buds. I would highly recommend you try. Enjoyed the experience. It had a smart casual feel you can come in a jacket or a jogging suit which i did and felt comfortable. Healthy food.

We visited this restaurant after shopping in the mall. The location is excellent! The atmosphere of the restaurant is also excellent, with very âyoungâ outlook. The service is very kind, helpful and quick. The food is very good. Probably a little bit expensive.

After some much needed renovations, we had high hopes for the re opening. The bar is great, but the food is just awful--burned broccoli, rock hard old carrots, and somewhat overcooked salmon sitting on a bed of runny humus. After complaining, they offered me a chocolate chip cookie, which was in fact the best part of my dinner.

Had a wonderful Saturday dinner here at the (highest) recommendation of family friend who is in the seafood business. Dining room is cozy and pretty (very romantic). Under chef's expert and minimalist preparation, all dishes were prepared to reflect the freshness of the seafood. We (5) had just about everything on the menu: kampachi crudo, pan roasted pacific cod, local smoked trout, local short ribs, etc.The only blemish on our otherwise perfect evening was that even with a 8:30pm reservation we still had to wait almost 20 min to be seated.

Today was my 4th and final attempt with Cafe Borrone. Every time I go, I order a 16oz vanilla latte. I get something different every time, either the wrong size or flavor. Today, the barista made my drink iced instead of hot, then remade it in the wrong size. The lines are insane, the staff is snippy when informed of mistakes, and the quality is good enough to go back.

Consistently great Reuben sandwiches. Thick flaky pastrami-probably the best youâll have. Nice selection of beers on tap and huge bottle selection. I like the Belgian beers. Prefer Kwak. They have lots of other crafts too. Some of the more rare options are served in 4 oz pours for about $10.
