The Greathouse - West Chester

I will first say I don 't usually leave reviews but I could not let this one go. It was Mother 's day brunch , which I understand can be busy but our experience was just ridiculous and had nothing to do with the restaurant or server being busy. The restaurant is beautiful and hostess that sat us and person I spoke with on the phone when making the reservation were very nice but that 's where it ended. Our waitress was very off, just plain rude actually! From the time we sat down it was like she was annoyed to be there! She looked angry, there is no other way of putting it , just someone who didn 't like their job and should never be in the service industry. No good morning happy mother 's day, whatever, nothing! But that 's not the half of it. We were seated at 10:15 and were only 1 of 3 tables seated at the time and it looked like we were her first. Honestly wasn 't very busy at that time, and regardless we are patient people and were polite. Maybe she got called in on mother 's day and was mad I don 't know, but that should never be a customers problem. She literily said what do you want with an attitude while taking our order. I looked at my husband and was like what is happening?! At one point. My husband asked for another drink and she actually said when I have time !! It was bizarre, never asked anyone if they would like another or how anything was, it was like we were bothering her. Truly bizarre experience. She brought our food out and laid it on the table behind us leaving it there for a few before serving, eggs benadict were cold! My frenchtoast was luckwarm and came with bacon not the sausage that I ordered but I let it go because she was a trainwreak. Just a really uncomfortable and bizarre experience!

Stopped in for a nice lunch on Saturday and the Greathouse did not disappoint. Nice scenic, quiet dining experience. I had the Maryland crab soup which was delicious, followed by a delightful crab cake entree with fresh string beans and fingerling potatoes. Food did not disappoint! The service was excellent also even though he was ver busy serving a table of 9 also!

Just got back from a wonderful meal. Sorry no pictures but it it a very pretty restaurant with truly GREAT service. We split the crab dip for an app and it was one of the best we ever had. We had a crab cake sandwich and the Buffalo chicken sandwich off the bistro menu. Both were Excellent. It was very quiet for an early Wednesday meal and everything was top notch. Can't wait to return! Well done!

Driving and driving and driving...all I see is empty fields, thinking to myself is my girl trying to have me drive somewhere so she can wack me and dump my body somewhere in these woods lol...jk, finally got to our destination for a wedding and my first impression is, FANCY. It's was my girlfriends cousins wedding. It was well put together, place was real nice and elegant with the views you would like for such occasion. So to the food served, ah-maz-ing...kudos to the chef...the appetizers with the prechuto, salami, shrimp, Asparagus, cheeses platter was a winner...things got better with the creamy potatoe casserole, sliced beef, sliced turkey, mushrooms, veggies spot on...place is big enough for a small wedding...only took a star off because they didn't tel you when open bar ended!

May I just say... the CRAB CAKES! There's no breading or filler at all. The best crab cakes I've ever had. With that said, I've also had steak, pasta, antelope, escargot and other dishes at The Greathouse. All of which were delicious. The drinks are boozy and the room is big and airy. We'll be back!
