We were seated promptly at about seven on a Saturday night. The waitress was extremely friendly, talking to us but not being overbearing. We ordered a sampler of all the beer, and we tried them each out. The waitress kept her eye on us but did not come over until we'd finished the sampler. I appreciated this as sometimes waitresses get a little uppity with the asking for orders. We were not extremely hungry but we both ordered soup. I also ordered a spinach and artichoke dip/hummus plate and my boyfriend a goat cheese and beet salad. Due to the prices we expected MUCH larger portions. His salad cost ten dollars and did not even fill the small dinner plate on which it was served. My soup I recognized -- it looked just like Progresso. My dip plate came with about four pieces of pita bread, three carrots, and three pieces of celery. I mean really. These are not things that cost a lot of money! They can afford to add some extra lettuce to a salad, or put more pita on my plate. For dessert, since we were drinking pumpkin beer, we asked if they had pumpkin pie. We ordered one slice, which took about ten minutes to arrive. There seemed to be a miscommunication between the waitress and the kitchen. Finally the pie came out...and it was partially frozen. We complained; they took it off the check; we paid and left. All in all it was not a very good experience. The beer was fine (nothing superb), the staff was extremely friendly, but the food was way way over priced and not very good. Definitely not worth the trip to Manayunk from the city.
Pros: Friendly service, beer okay
Cons: Food quality, parking is difficult
