Sorry no post yesterday. I wrote one, but due to a Blogger glitch, it didn't publish.
Finally got a table at the Blue Pear Bistro near West Chester, Pa. This is a place to definitely make a reservation, especially on the weekends.
It's the cozy, casual, comfortable and affordable sister eatery of the Dilworthtown Inn. (Same owners.)
The bistro, a former country store and hospital for Revolutionary War soldiers (and how cool is that?), is nestled next to the Dilworthtown Inn and has become increasingly popular since opening a little more than a year ago.
The bar would be a very fun spot to eat a cheeseburger and watch a football game as many were doing on Saturday night. (Well, it's a more upscale alternative to a sports bar.) The strolling guitarist was fun too - but maybe not so if you were trying to listen to and watch said football game. (Note to self: Keep this bar in mind when March Madness rolls around.)
Highlights of the meal: the barbecue short ribs over grits ($20.50); mussels in coconut curry sauce ($17.50); steak & frites ($21) and seared scallops ($22.25.)
Don't miss the chocolate trio dessert - I loved the homemade marshmallows in the cocoa and the chocolate sorbet - and the lemon torte ($9).
Blue Pear has a wine list, but does let customers carry in. However, the corkage fee is a steep $10. We didn't brown bag it and got a very nice, medium-bodied, slightly spicy bottle of E Minor Shiraz - Australian from Barossa Valley - for $26.
