Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Swarthmore

This was our first time at lock bar and overall it was very good. We did not know being Christmas Eve of the kitchen was closing early which we were not thrilled about because we had a later dinner reservation and it forced us to order before we wanted to. The server also had a few miscues on the timing of things sending out the food too early but they rectified it and it was all okay. We both have the cream of crab soup which was very very good. I have the crab cake and the server said it was considered some of the best in the city and I would agree with that it was all pure crab meat no filler.

We enjoyed our own private room as it was a quiet night. Our waitress was delightful! I’m sorry to not remember her name. She’s was very engaging and attentive. We could not have had better service!

Absolutely wonderful. Delicious food and friendly service. Our favorite place in the city for special occasions.

We were a party of 8 on a very busy night for dining out in Philly. We had such a fun night at Viola Bistro. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was excellent!

Love this restaurant. Their foods, drinks and services are the best!
