Charming
Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines

Located in the heart of the Brandywine Valley, this modern American steakhouse is a short drive from Philadelphia, the Main Line or Wilmington. The complete redo of the 300 year old Chadds Ford Inn has created an excellent canvas with which to paint. The cuisine is strictly twenty-first century with an emphasis not only top quality cuts of beef, like the 16 ounce Prime Delmonico, but fresh seasonal seafood, like jumbo lump crab and wild salmon. The comfortable bar beckons you in with a Best of Philly burger and a local draft beer. Creative sandwiches, great happy hour specials and great steaks ensure we have something for everyone. Modern finishes to a historic building create an inviting, hip atmosphere that welcomes all-from tourists to business travelers to local families to private events in one of our many rooms.

Food was very good but we felt the prices were somewhat high. The house white wine-of-the-day was a bargain at $9/glass. The seafood ravioli was very good but 4 pieces for $19 is steep. The salad ingredients were delicious but we found both salads to be over-dressed. The blues background music was tedious. The service was excellent.

Overall, this dining experience was mildly disappointing. 1. The Bar. Seating time was for 8:15pm, but we had to wait about 20 minutes at the bar. The bartenders did not acknowledge us or greet us. They stayed busy with cleaning up - perhaps need some coaching on customer service. A quick "be right with you" would have been fine. We saw this for others, too. The bar does not have much ambience, which is also not helpful. Later in the evening, after dinner, when my wife asked for help making change (for tips), the bartended also said curtly "we're closed". 2. The Food. This is the kind of place where the only big decision is what kind of steak. Unfortunately, the steaks were prepared with too much salt, as was the baked potato I had. My wife did think her sprouts were spot on though. I paid for all that salt later, as I felt very dehydrated overnight. Tasty, yes. A bit of a shortcut for the restaurant to salt / brine everything so much, also yes. Desserts were pretty thin. It would have been great to see a few light and refreshing options on the menu following the (known choice) steaks. Unfortunately nothing like that was there. 3. Service. Overall, if 0 was awful / rude and 10 was perfectly poised and graceful, this was probably a bit below 5. Service when received was competent, but was not delivered cheerfully or gracefully downstairs. For this area, for a $200 check for 2, I expect better. It would not fly in a major city. In general, the vibe was a bit jaded and perhaps targeted at older affluent folks (65+). The meal was generally good, but we don't think we'll be back. The shortcomings in service and ambience made it a less than great date.

We had the lobster ravioli and 8 0z filet. All was perfectly done. The lobster ravioli had just the right amount of lobster. Service was excellent. We will be back as soon as possible to dine here again.

Our waiter was outstanding! He was very personable yet professional. We were a large party of 11. They gave us an upstairs room to ourselves which was perfect for conversation and we didn’t bother any other diners. Highly recommend this restaurant before Longwood Gardens Christmas lights tour.

Another wonderful meal and experience at Brandywine Prime. The holiday specials were fantastic with a twist on the 7 fishes dish, a few fancy twists to their steak dishes, and two cocktails that were lovely. Great service, and one of the best meals I have had. Brandywine Prime does steak the best, but never sleep on their seafood, especially when it is offered as a special. I cannot wait to go back!
