Zoe Restaurant; Restaurant Alba; Blue Bell Inn Review

Very nice atmosphere and lovely decor.
The service was prompt and professional. My only disappointment was that for the prices, the portions were a bit small.
The food was absolutely delicious and nicely presented though, what there was of it. If you are a person with a healthy appetite, be prepared to have to buy your salad separately, and perhaps purchase an extra side.
I did not try any appetizers, so can not speak of the quality or serving.

Really enjoyed our meal here. The food was excellent. I had a perfect NY strip steak and the Branzino, Duck Confit and Short ribs my dinner mates had were also top quality. The dessert were also delicious, as were the cocktails we started with. They also have a well chosen wine list with good.variety and options for by the glass. It's pricey, bur worth the splurge! The service was also excellent and professional, right on time and on top of things without being instrusive. Well done!

Great food, smooth unrushed service, waitress willing to go above and beyond dealing with a toddlers needs

Food is to die for great entries and great drinks Good time for family or friends

It was Easter and we had the Crab Imperial before heading downtown and back to the Safehouse..remember?..do you?

This is our 2nd time to the Blue Bell Inn this year- and another disappointment. The first time we sat in the Oak Room - it was a great atmosphere which balanced the ho-hum over priced food. This time we asked for a "quiet table" and was seated at a high-top bar table in a smoke laced room. Every time workers went in and out of the back door we had the pleasure of tasting smoke with our food. We ordered the calamari - it was very strange, you had no taste of calamari - only the banana chip and oatmeal clusters it was paired with. (Very odd combination) . I ordered a $15 glass of chardonay - it had no taste. The 2nd glass I ordered tasted like I was drinking orange juice. What happened to the Duckhorn?? I ordered the All American Cheeseburger - $16 for something I can get at TGIF for $10. There was NOTHING special about this meal - the "truffle chips" tasted like burnt potato chips. My husband ordered the reuben - it was dried out, the bread was almost burnt and they barely had any sauce on it. He had to keep drinking just to get the sandwich down. This is a HUGE disappointment - I went here to celebrate my 40th birthday - $150 down the drain. I will NEVER be back.

I had my family Christmas party here this year. It was a lot of fun and the food was amazing. I really liked the bacon wrapped scallops. The bar service was fun and friendly, and table staff were very attentive. A great place for a family get together after the kids get a little older!

Had brunch here on a Sunday. Service was good, very attentive but not too much. Food was fine (had eggs Benedict) but nothing special and a little pricey for what was received.

The renovations here must have cost a fortune. Blue Bell Inn went from tired to modern and the inside looks great now. There are several different rooms so you could get a quiet dinner, or a loud one. Those renovations have to get paid off somehow, though - the food (and drinks) can be expensive.

The staff has always been accommodating, this is a great place for a special occasion.

If you don't want to get forced to valet park, come early!

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner with friends this evening. The food was outstanding and our server, Ryan, was very attentive and accommodating .
Will definitely return in the future.

Great place, good food. We've been there several times and always had a great meal. This time we ate at the bar and got great service from Mary. I recommend the Blue Bell to all of my friends.

Absolutely gorgeous outdoor scenery, especially this time of year. Perfect for date night or celebrations. You'll find a lot of unique items on this menu starting with their stiff cocktails and seasonal specials - the pumpkin lobster soup is fantastic! I would love to eat here again.

Food good and innovative. Nice place to drop in for a drink and upscale bar food. On the expensive side.

Great food and modern decor. Their raw bar is fantastic!

Great patio outdoors. Filet mignon and oysters were great. Cocktails a bit of a miss so stick with wine or beer.

Beautiful courtyard setting w/waterfall. Multiple dining spaces: cozy, party, family, etc.

Easy to get to, the atmosphere was excellent, and the food was amazing!

Meal -- delicious
Service -- Super
Surroundings -- Wow
We ate outside

Quiet, cozy and intimate. Perfect place for a casual glass of wine after a long day.

Food is always fresh and have not been disappointed with any of our selections each time we've gone here

Great food, great service... it's hard to have a bad time here.

Nice atmosphere, overpriced ,food okay.Paid 60 per person with one drink!Not for the middle class.Could go too a diner 3 times and bring home leftovers ,for what we paid for 1 meal!

Noon on a rainy Saturday... Fantastic food, MUSIC, and service. Taylor was exceptional. Party of five loved their meals.

Great brunch options with bottomless mimosas and bloody Marys

This is not a cheap place however the food and service were excellent.

Overpriced for what you get. There are significantly better restraunts within a mile of the Bluebell Inn. I won't be back.

Great jazz show even better happy hour service was nice and the scenery put u in a whole other realm

Stopped in for sunday brunch with a few out of town friends and this place was more than we could have asked for. The food was perfect, so many fun options. Outstanding atmosphere, nice staff, we loved it. Just moved to the area but we will definitely be back to the Blue Bell Inn.

I had my birthday lunch here and it was a pleasant experience. Can't wait to try dinner.

Great location with nice layout. Can get loud when it is crowded. There was a great band playing. Food was good and loved the breadbasket. the server for our table was good.

Enjoyed drinks in the bar area. Great band was playing, but virtually no dance floor.

Great food and amazingly helpful and friendly staff.

Great food and service. Not cheap but Just very good!

Fancy schmancy. Historic location. Recently renovated. Upscale crowd. First rate appointments, menu, and dishes. Service was a little slow but accurate on a busy night. Good drinks, fine dining. Very noisy environment, bring the kids. Free valet parking (you'll need it).

Always a great time. Great ambiance and food is always masterfully prepared.

Dinner was delicious on Thanksgiving. Staff was great.

Pleasant surprise. Not your parents eatery anymore. Gourmet quality.

Nice historical setting, beautiful fireplace, awesome food albeit somewhat pricey.

The best dining experience inside and out. Their beautiful renovation has completely changed dining in the area. The outside patio, especially on a gorgeous night feels like being in California. Sara K is an amazing server. On top of everything! Highly recommend. M.

Great atmosphere, great oysters and raw bar, pretty solid menu overall with a few misses. (To be expected with a Suburban joint). The bar can be a little loud and the service can be spotty if you're not regular, but worth the trip. Cocktails are more than respectable and the tap list is strong. Weeknights are easier to navigate than weekends. Check it put. A little pricey, so know what you're getting into. Always enjoy though...

Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food, great spot! Love it here.

Food, service, atmosphere excellent. For a top drawer inn, worth every penny!

Maybe it was a bad night for the staff,
starting with the kitchen, my breaded fried oysters were cold and soggy, it tasted like the frayer oil was dirty and old, same with the calamari + no simple seasoning, salt and pepper or seasoning salt, something...just cold soggy and old oil.
This was enough to end the dinner before we got to our entrees.
Was looking forward for a basic grilled 16oz. Rib eye and a glass of valpolicella, didn't have it, seriously..a 14oz. Strip steak or a 8oz. Filet is not the solution for a steak craving.
The wait staff had too many tables to be able to give good service, kept waiting for everything, it got old very quick.
So I decided to get something out of the box for me, something I would not get unless I was in New England or something..so I got the Lobster Roll ( waitress said people love it ), it had a nice flavor but it did not seem to be a lobster (1lb Lobster steamed and - deshelled) but it seemed to be just enough lobster meat to barely fill a 4inch roll.
sorry to say very disappointing.

Since the reno it's clean n a has a great crowd. Fod is delicious n atmosphere is pleasant. Can have friends at the bar n it is a cool place to relax for a cocktail n they do have music. Its an upgrade from the old place for sure.

Service was great, went with a few friends for a birthday. All our entrees were excellent. Well definitely be back.

Excellant food and service. Live music on weekends.

We went for Brunch and it was a wonderful experience! The food was delicious and the ambience was perfect. Our server,Lindsey was attentive and courteous and allowed us time to talk and reminisce! I definitely plan to return!

Service was excellent but the music at the bar was very loud. If you go, get a nice quiet table.

My husband and I recently had a divine dinner here. Wine was great food awesome dessert yummy and our server couldn't have been better. We think this place beats William Penn NY a mile!! Barb and Bob

We dined on the patio. I was with my wife, her Aunt and Uncle and cousin Paige. The food was hot and delicious. The drinks were tasty and our waitress was very attentive.

Lovely environment, two bars, live music and great food!

Phenomenal. Our server Kyle was awesome. Knowledgeable and very helpful, awesome recommendations and great service. My ginger pear Spritz was pretty good, I think it could use some tweaking. Wine selection was great though Id prefer a slightly larger glass selection especially of Italian wines. Duck and filet were both incredible but I felt as though the cheese board was a bit small. Either way me and my wife left full and satisfied. Dessert was great with a classic cheesecake.

We had our rehearsal dinner here. The food and service were amazing. A little pricey, but very well worth it in our opinion. Guests loved the food and servers kept the drinks coming!

We visited on Christmas Eve. There was a special holiday menu. We all enjoyed our meals.

A bit overpriced but really good food. We were seated fairly quick but taken back by the price for three people and what we ordered. Something to check out if you re in the area it is worth a visit and the money

What a wonderful place with some rich history! We reserved an upper room for a company banquet and thought the open bar and food were excellent. We enjoyed being in this old part of Pennsylvania history and would highly recommend this to families and businesses as a great place to meet and dine.

Nice audience great staff courteous pleasant able to explain the menu and specials without instant no hesitation in their descriptions they were on point with all the information that we requested

We had dinner at the "new" Blue Bell Inn this evening. I cannot wait to return.
Upon entering, we were greeted warmly immediately. We gave our reservation information and were seated right away. The bar area is very noisy and that was our first impression. The new outdoor seating area is beautiful. We were escorted to a back room, and given a tour and description along the way. The room we were seated in was cozy and warm and quiet. Dinner was delicious and service was impressive. Scott, our waiter, was attentive without being overbearing, charming, and paid attention to detail. I would ask for him again. It was a wonderful night. Welcome back Blue Bell Inn. You did not disappoint.
