the covert restaurant is housed in a converted stable filled with leather and riding accoutrement.
This place is full of ambiance and cool history, complete with hand-crafted wooden floors with exposed brick walls. Food was first served on the premises during the early 20s, when the second floor was converted into a speakeasy. The European hand-crafted bar unit dates back to the 1800s and a front section, made from an original door from Franklin and Marshall College, dates back to 1787.
this creatively cool Carriage house loft boasts a French chef and a selection of delectable delights ranging from land to sea, as well as vegetarian dishes. Members of our party raved over the ever-popular tenderloin tips, which literally melt in your mouth. Prime rib is served Friday or Saturday. Veal dishes ( perhaps the best veal in the county), chicken (black & tan chicken, chicken portabella and more), seafood (orange roughy, surf n' turf / lobster and filet, shrimp, crab cakes, fruits of the sea combo platter), pasta (penne marinara, mariner's bounty / shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels and catch of the day over angel hair pasta, Horse Inn chicken n' shrimp) and sandwiches round out the menu. There are also several daily specials, including a catch of the day. and kiddie menu.
Draft beer selections are almost all Pennsylvania brewed, while the wine list features several made in nearby Chadds Ford, Chester County, although I opted for Arrogant Frog Chardonnay in honor of my French, moody husband.
We cannot wait to go back and work our way through the menu.
