The food was amazing! We visited during Chestnut Hill Restaurant Week but I'd pay full price for their food. Our waitress Becky was great too. She was very attentive and friendly. I'd recommend this place for the food, service and ambiance. Nice gem in the city.
Seated quickly- served quickly by a pleasant, knowledgeable server - the server's recommendation was exactly how she described it - the chicken salad sandwich was delicious - I give Chestnut Grill a 5 star rating on food, service and atmosphere
We just had the house-made hummus and the spinach and chicken salad but it was all so good we wished we could go back for more. We did take out up to our room in the Chestnut Hill Hotel - which was perfect. I went down and ordered directly from the bar and carried the food upstairs.
Pretty affordable prices. Had the Chestnut Grill Burger it had salami and provolone and I was surprised how good the combination was. Worth the try and I'd go back.
Love the owner Greg!. It's nice to have a smiling, friendly owner of a local eatery on hand, and that's Greg. He's active among the merchants and always wants the best for his customers. Now as to food: love the salads! in particular the one with shrimp, sesame, pine nuts, etc. slurp...and also the big chef's salad with EVERYTHING in it. Soups change daily and are great. I like sitting in the bar where I can eat dinner and watch the news, or in a big booth, or downstairs in the rathskeller, a nice, intimate space with lots of tables & booths and beautiful flower closeup art on the walls. Very reasonable and good food!
The Manhattan clam chowder was flavorful, and the clams were not chewy. The coleslaw was more vinegar based instead mayonnaise based, which is always a nice surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The catfish could have been seasoned better. The service and atmosphere were welcoming. The restaurant was very clean.
A beautiful experience for our group of 12. We all loved our server, the food and venue. Amazing service.
A cute little joint in Chestnut Hill! The pear mules were a unique twist and refreshing. We'd seen the lamb chop appetizer in reviews and it was excellent. Really yummy French bread basket as well! Our entrees (mango Thai shrimp salad and a classic burger) were solid. Great atmosphere for an outdoor meal on a warm day!
Had a late lunch after a Dr’s appointment. Everything was good, service, food and atmosphere. I definitely would go back.
Me and my mom went for lunch and it was a great experience. It’s two levels and outside seating. It was cold so we didn’t get to sit outside. The downstairs dining doesn’t have bathrooms or great cell service the staff informed us. We sat on the main level. The server was nice. Food came out hot and was oh so good. My mom never had catfish and had ordered the tacos and didn’t like the texture of the fish so they were great offering her other options. I can’t wait to go back for dinner and happy hour. Mussels and entres are available after 4.
I enjoyed my dining experience here at the Chestnut Grill and Sidewalk Cafe, it was very lovely inside, and the service was really special..I was celebrating my Sister's bday so it was a location that was picked earlier, it was easy to get to, It was all so delicious also the assortment of meals to choose from..I loved the hot wings with bleu cheese wit the cole slaw and spinach salad...I enjoyed the brisket on roll..Mmmm all so very delicious!!
We didn't care for much for the basement floor dinning room, only those with big groups will find dinning in the white brick wall isn't unpleasant. Our server and the host were great and know how to make us feel less uncomfortable, the food was good, but wasting/using shredded iceberg lettuce on our plates are so uncalled for. Onion soup needs a little work to make it perfect. The burger was also perfect except the burnt that makes me wonder when was the last time they cleaned the grill.
I love this place,.. relax ambiance with reasonable price and the food it's awesome..a bit packed though on weekend, but overall I will come back and highly recommended if u in chestnut hill area.
Easy becoming our go to place in the neighborhood. Great food and great service always. Love the Catfish Tacos
Waitress Ashley was EXCELLENT!! She's meant to deal with people and the food was awesome...they did a few different things to the outside, nice improvement! great time all around.. definitely will return 👍🏽
