Restaurants near Eastern State Penitentiary

This is my 2nd time at Vernick Fish and it was even better than my 1st trip. Food, service and professionalism of the entire staff were OUTSTANDING! The Lobster & Blue Crab Rice was incredible and the Scallops were also great. All in all, we had a great dining experience.

Excellent environment, food had great variety and all the dishes prepared expertly. Bar selection had some interesting cocktails and plenty of choices for all palates, wine, beer and liquor. Plenty of comfortable seating. If you are looking for a fun time with a cool mid century vibe this is for you.

Great food and service always! We got the cheese plate and they were all a 10 out of 10. The stores dessert was delicious and unique and the remoulade for the frites is so good! I don't think I have had a bad server yet and today was no exception.

On a cold late fall day, is there anything better than sitting by a roaring fireplace enjoying light bites, delicious beverages, and friendly conversation? Dandelion delivers on all fronts in a way that many places do not including other Stephen Starr restaurants. It has separated, intimate spaces that allow many people to enjoy confined conversations in the little pockets in between. My friend had many food sensitivities and was able to navigate the menu to find 4 things they could enjoy while holding to their standards. All in all, this restaurant consistently delivers and excels in this time of year as a warm respite from the cold wind of the city.

Had a great lunch and a glass of wine with my wife. The Quiche Lorain was delicious with enough to take home. The mushroom soup was a large serving and very good. I had the chicken curry sandwich which was also delicious. Also I recommend the deviled eggs. It was very festive with the decorations and holiday shoppers. The staff was very attentive and pleasant especially our waitress Danielle and a young man that chatted with us for a bit who may have been the wine steward. We have been here several times and will continue to go back.
