Philly is filled to the brim with standout BYOB restaurants that feature eclectic and elevated menus, but in the suburbs the options are few and far between thus making them harder to find. But it was my dad who impressed me (I taught him well! by finding this crown jewel of a BYOB in an unassuming Havertown neighborhood, and it was Edgewood that managed to deliver an impressive dinner for my mom's birthday. The interior is roomy and comfortable decor with plenty of booths that can hold up to four. It also has an inviting decor with an open view that allows you to catch a glimpse of the kitchen staff at work. Upon arrival we were quickly welcomed, had our bottle of wine opened, and where pre...
First off, I don't usually do reviews, I mean to but I just never get around to it. However, Kelly, our waitress of the evening deserves some praise. This was my first time at this hidden gem. When I arrived, I was seated immediately with my party. Bonus for points for not having to wait for the entire party to arrive to be seated. The waitress checked on me and the other guest occasionally until the whole party arrived. Once everyone was there, she ran down the list of specials and I must say, her explanation had me blushing. She made everything sound so good that I wanted one of everything! I didn't order anything from the specials since I had made my mind up on the Pan Roasted Salmon. She...
Chef Ferro didn't know it but we seriously put him to the test one night last month. Not one, not two, but three Yelp Elites and serious foodies showed up to put him to the test. Although not a Yelper the lovely wife was along for the ride and she has a very discerning palate. SO WHAT WAS THE TEST? We ordered four DIFFERENT entrees and four DIFFERENT appetizers to see if Phil had the depth and breadth of experience and talent to blow us out of the water. Guess what he did it! After many many visits this wonderful BYOB is easily the premier dining destination in Havertown and challenges many restaurants in the surrounding towns! My Yelp Elite daughter (Jennifer B. posted several pics includin...
While visiting my parents, we decided to try a local BYOB restaurant in their area. We started with mussels, which everyone said were delicious, although they were on the small side. The sauce was very flavorful. The bread was okay, but could have been improved with a few minutes in the oven. The house-made butter was unsalted and mixed with honey, which was a nice touch. The fillet egg rolls with crispy onions and horseradish sauce were a must-have. The menu was not too extensive, but offered a variety of options. The crab cakes were a good size with just enough filler to hold them together. The Cajun tuna with crab was tasty. We tried two specials - the Bronzino was light and flaky over co...

My husband and I went out for our Anniversary dinner last night. This place has an interesting ambiance- dark and reddish but fine for a date night. Casual and somewhat cozy. Appetizers- filet egg rolls were good- cheesy, crunchy. Crab asparagus soup was creamy and tasty. Overall though, both apps were very salty. I couldnt even eat the croutons on top of the soup- tasted like a salt lick. We opted to skip salads. Entrees: my husband had a bacon wrapped filet and I had the shrimp and catfish special. His was served over whipped potatoes and asparagus and mine was over a pancetta risotto. Again- mine was super salty- didnt taste my huband's. Mine was so salty to the point of I couldn't even r...
I really enjoyed this place. BYOBs are sometimes hard to come by in the suburbs, so I was eager to try this place out. It's a very intimate and romantic environment. Low lighting and kind of quiet. The service was great, our server was super attentive and helpful. Quick with refills and details about each dish on the menu. I got the muscles and I can't even express how good they are! They were super clean, no grit, and the sauce is perfect for dipping some bread in after. Clean seafood is a must for me, so that made a big impression. The prices were reasonable as well. I would definitely recommend grabbing a bottle of wine and checking it out on date night. It's small inside, so definitely c...
Apologies for the late review Edgewood. Visit: Thursday Dec 29, 2016 Located in a tiny strip of pre-war storefronts in a Havertown neighborhood of the same era is this BYO gem. Fellow Yelper Regina M and I along with our men brought a bottle of wine and hungry bellies to Edgewood and we were thrilled from the start. We had an awesome server and I am sad to have forgotten her name. She was training another server that evening and that didn't affect our service in any way. It was 5 stars. And the trainee was good too. All 4 of us dined on 5 star entrees and said we will definitely be back.
We had a birthday celebration with a group of 14 at this restaurant. The food was exceptional and the servers were excellent. We appreciated the BYOB policy. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so the long tables for larger parties felt a bit cramped with limited space to move around. We enjoyed some delicious appetizers, particularly the coconut shrimp, and tasty main dishes that included a large steak, veal dish, grouper special, and more. The beet salad was also very good.

I am extremely saddened to learn that this restaurant served its last delicious meal on September 13, 2020. I have made countless happy memories dining here with friends and family throughout the years.
One step above from food poisoning, kept those of us who had fish and risotto on the toilette all night.
