Spring House Tavern

My girlfriend and I decided to stop in here for lunch today. We were a bit unsure as you enter through a dungy basement door. However, after opening the door it was as if we were pulled back in time. For the most part the room was lit entirely by candles with a beautiful stone wall, the atmosphere was wonderful! We were seated at the bar because it was a bit crowded, this was not a problem because the bar was the original bar from 1818 and it was beautiful. We were waited on by Pat the bartender. She was super friendly and a wonderful waitress. Pat had suggested the Onion Soup, we were not let down it was by far the best onion soup I have ever had and I love onion soup. For dinner I had the Burger and my girlfriend as their equivalent of a french dip, both were delicious. Overall we loved this place and the experience.

My family and I like to try local restaurants when we are out of town.  Our goal is to stay away from the restaurant chains.  Yelp helped us find Springhouse.

The reviews were correct.  It is like stepping into the past.  The food was better than good and the service was very good.

Thanks to everyone who posts on Yelp.  We would not have found this had it not been for your posts.

Stopped here with co-workers for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is VERY interesting. It's very dark and almost "mideval manor-ish". They have REAL candles the light each table but if you have trouble seeing forget it. It's very dark but it's historical and unique too!

Co-workers had the onion soup which they raved about. I have the grilled ham & swiss on foccacia with potato salad. It was very good. Co-workers had a BLT and the cheese/fruit plate and we all left feeling satisfied and intrigued in a way. It's almost like you enter a time machine when you walk down the steps into the restaurant.

The staff was very polite and overall we had a lovely lunch!
