Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Chestnut Hill

Highly recommend dining at Valley Green Inn. The food was excellent and our waiter, Tristan, was very friendly and outgoing. Felt at home here. The restaurant is vintage and has history in our area of Philadelphia, and I love it! I’m embarrassed to say I’ve been living here for over 35 years now and have never dined at the restaurant. Boy was I missing out! haha! Go there asap! You won’t be sorry.

We went for lunch & shared charcuterie, cheese plate, & Trout Almondine. All were excellent. Our server, Makenzie, was delightful & attentive without being intrusive, and helpful with suggestions. The only negative was uncomfortable chairs. Otherwise, we had a lovely leisurely lunch.

We went to our usual go to, Iron Table in Chestnut Hill. We had a reservation,we were seated promptly and a server arrived immediately. Beers, food all great. Its a very good place!

Absolutely amazing dining experience!!! The grilled octopus is by far the best appetizer, our favorite and only restaurant that has it down to a science! The flavor is outstanding, temperature is always just right! I am a loyal customer and always order the house entree “PESCATORE”…you can never go wrong with a dish named after a restaurant….this dish NEVER disappoints. The crab gravy is beyond delicious, shrimp, clams and mussels are always done just right. We also ordered the salmon special which was over a lobster broccoli risotto, from the very first taste it kept getting even more flavorful….This is a must try. Double espressos (with our BYO Sambuca) and their homemade tiramisu was a perfect ending to an amazing dining experience. Aside from the food, the staff went over & beyond….with the change of ownership/management, you definitely feel a positive change in the climate….Asad is so very personable, welcomes us when he sees us and makes us feel right at home. The female server (Armenian, just forgot her name) has a great personality, goes over and beyond and truly cares about the customers. Evan…what an incredible young man….Truly loves the food industry, kind, personable and very engaging! Thank you so very much, Asad & staff, and the amazing chefs/cooks in the kitchen, we never get to meet you, but truly appreciate your talent and thank you for such an amazing dining experience. And to the new ownership, we love the changes to the decor, lighting and overall ambience….Many thanks and all the best and great success. Thank you!

This is our go-to restaurant. The staff is friendly and the food is excellent.
