Quotations

I agree with Kim B. I'm a local, and could be a regular. EXCEPT, the owner is a real unfriendly dude. Mr. Owner, when I ask what your gluten free options are, don't treat me like a leper. When I ask you about a specific vodka , don't rudely say "Well, I didn't name that one, did I?" And when you tell me you're giving me a gluten free beer, actually do it. Instead, you gave me hard cider, which was the only silver lining in this sturm und drang. Never had it and turned out to be excellent. Would've been real serviceable of you if you actually poured it into the glass you slammed down next to it, as any real bartender would do.

I've been coming to Quotes for a few years now and overall there is not a better spot in Media. Great beer selection, reasonable prices (for Media at least), terrific staff and an owner who has always taken great care of myself and friends. I see some rather harsh reviews on Yelp and it baffles me. Mike the owner may be the type of guy who you need to get to know for a while before truly embracing but one thing is not up for dispute. He works his A$$ off and takes care of his regulars as well as anyone.

The food is good, not spectacular, but tasty and reasonably priced. The beers are varied and excellent, and the restaurant itself is well lit and well laid out. If I have a minor criticism it's the TVs, located mostly in the bar area, are non-HD (for whatever reason), but otherwise the experience of watching a ball game, meeting up for a date or having a nice dining experience with friends and family is excellent.

One other thing that I've always enjoyed is the crowd who goes there. Seems to be mostly polite young professionals, classy without being snobby, hip without being "hipster", a nice mix of folks reminding you more of an upscale joint in Montco more than the vast majority of central Delco bars. Lastly I'm a huge fan of the wait staff. They're attentive without being overbearing, thoughtful, and the service is quick and efficient.

Went here twice...the first time with a friend and the next time with my usual dining partner.    Ok, I get the quote thing- quotes all over the place with pithy sayings by famous people, but ultimately it is the food and/ or the drink that keeps you coming  back.    We are now seeing all sorts of places in DelCo where you can get a decent brew.  Unfortunately the beer we got here tasted like it had been sitting  around for a long while.   It's a bar and it smells like one.  The food is nothing to write home about.  I'm not sure why I would want to come back here- it's not the food, the brew or the ambiance- so I won't be back.
