Definitely a special occasion place The food is impeccable, but you will pay for it. Their caesar salad (made table-side) is world-class, as are their steaks, seafood, wines, and desserts. I only go here when I'm willing to spend about $200+ for myself and 1 other person...you'll want to have drinks, appetizers, salad, entrees, and dessert - trust me, don't skip dessert. The pepper-crusted filet is to die for, as is the creme brulee. Just be careful about your wine selection - I ordered a bottle of $55 wine once and they cha... read more
Outrageously good! Dilworthtown Inn is one of those 'special occasion' places as the place is very pricey, but the service is superb and the food is even better. I would rank it as probably the single best restaurant in the west Chester, PA, area. The decor is beautifully and tastefully understated and rustic and the outdoor area is fun in warm weather. Across the street is the Innkeeper's Kitchen where you can see food being prepared in a large demonstration area and of course, you get to eat it afterwards. This is popular ... read more
Dilworthtown Inn I have been dining at the Dilworthtown Inn for years and years. The food is exceptional and the waitstaff is superb. I especially enjoy eating al fresco in the restored "stables". The restaurant is a beautifully restored 18 century inn. I would highly recommend treating yourself to a memorable meal here.
Go for the ambience, not the food – We went for my birthday and were largely disappointed. While the ambience at the Dilworthtown Inn is very nice and service was generally very good, albeit slow, the food just doesn't live up to expectations for the price. I had to send back my $40 steak which was way, way over done. A high end restaurant would offer to re-do your wife's meal as well (so you can eat together), but not here. After 15 minutes (by then, my wife was done) it arrived. Still over cooked, but not nearly as much. S... read more
An historic colonial inn offers exceptional cuisine in a cozy setting. – In Short Built in 1758, this one-time boarding house has been a dinner-only destination since 1972. The restaurant seats over 200, but its three floors of 15 separate dining rooms each offer a more intimate atmosphere. Gas lamps, candles and fireplaces help too. The menu boasts creative cuisine that leans toward New American with Asian influences. Main course standouts include roasted Chilean sea bass and tender grilled veal chop.
A Winner! – This was our 5th time dining here and my wife and I have loved it every time. The food is excellent, from the crab cake or ginger lobster appetizers to the chilean sea bass and venison entree's....tasty desserts, friendly wait staff...and don't forget to stop by the fireplace bar for a cocktail before or after dinner. a wonderful place to dine, especially around the holidays. We always look forward to our next visit.
Fabulous!! – It has all the class of a great center city restaurant without the parking hassles. Service was great and the food was even better!
Dil(notworthit)town Inn – WOW! What a complete waste of time and money! The wait my companion and I endured for the quality of food and service was excruciating. What has happened to this grande dame? Won't return, won't recommend!
Overpriced, pretentious, mediocre service (forgot our soup, waited LONG time bet. courses, had to BEG for rolls), old-fashioned, loaded w/ butter. "Hi I am your waiter, Bozo, etc." No idea as to what was in "specials" . . . typical Chester County hype. Some flash, no substance. Save your money. Oh yeah . . . new chef from Alabama!! It shows.
