- TDToddDvipNew York / Tri-State Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe sat at the bar and the bartender was very distracted, we were not offered a drink for a long time. We got appetizers and when our meal arrived we had to clear our own dishes. We always have great service and love the food there but it was a bad experienceMore infoEstia Taverna – RadnorPrice: Expensive• Greek• Radnor•4.6
- FfamouslitagentvipPhiladelphia / New Jersey Suburbs •42 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoI've been to the Refectory a few times and my food experiences have been mixed. I went with a group for brunch and was very pleasantly surprised. Everyone in the party enjoyed their food. Portion sizes were good. I had an egg sandwich that had a square baked egg casserole (for lack of a better word) on it. Sausage was well spiced and the cheese was properly melty - it was delicious! Two desserts shared by the table were also excellent. Value was good. A bit noisier that I would have like, but it was a busy day. Would certainly return for brunch.More infoThe RefectoryPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Villanova•4.6

Discover Philadelphia
No longer just NYC’s 8th borough, Philadelphia is a well-kept secret, especially when it comes to food. Sure, you can still get a cheesesteak or its lesser-known, debatably better cousin—the roast pork sandwich—but the restaurant scene has taken off in recent years, with Israeli, vegetarian, and Spanish food in the mix. The provolone-lined cheese shops of eras gone by exist in bigger, better versions and the large, welcoming brasseries that dot Rittenhouse Square make you feel like you’re in Paris. Reading Terminal Market pays homage to Lancaster County’s Pennsylvania Dutch fare, with a bounty of pretzels and apple butter, while local bakeries, baristas, and breweries set a high culinary bar for the City of Brotherly love.
