Comments on: Teresa’s Cafe, Wayne http://mainlinedine.com/rest/teresas.html Finally, a restaurant guide for Philadelphia's Main Line and suburbs Sun, 01 Aug 2010 01:57:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Ray http://mainlinedine.com/rest/teresas.html#comment-46954 Ray Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:13:51 +0000 http://www.mainlinedine.com/rest/teresas.html#comment-46954 One of the most consistently "good food" places around town. Obviously, it gets a deservedly good play, and that makes waiting an issue most of the time. The row of tables on the right wall are too small and too close together, and the decibel level is high. But, if you are looking for good food first, you'll find it here. One of the most consistently “good food” places around town.

During that hour we ordered at least 10 cocktails and four appetizers while waiting. The waiter approached us and asked us to order entrees or to leave. Note we occupied the table less than an hour and when we decided to leave due the waiter being rude our bill was $100.00. We have been there several times prior and have hosted 8+ parties. Not again!

We had dinner there on Friday night and the food was just slop. Their signature pizza was just awful and just plain old slop. I had a great meal here a number of years ago, but this visit was really poor. Service was below average which seems to be the standard on the mainline. What happened to this place????

Tonight I heard yet one more time a story about the rude comments made by people who work at Teresa's cafe. In my own personal experience, I had staff who had just served my friends and me drinks, proceed to go to the back of the restaurant and loudly talk about us because they wanted us to leave so that they could go to a birthday party. The lack of maturity, and the passive aggressiveness was unnecessary. A simple "I am sorry we are closing” would have sufficed. I am writing this because I hope the management of the restaurant is reading this and will address the problem.

I had spaghetti in a spicy marinara sauce and it was nothing but delicious. The waiter was very nice and truly accomodating. Everyone else that I was with said that their meal was very good as well. I think that they might need to vary their menu with a little bit more selection then pasta but it was a good experience! I came here for dinner and it was pretty good.

We were a tad disappointed in the place. It was packed for a Friday night with a 45min waiting time at around 830pm. We had a drink at Christopher's and waited in anticipation. Food: menu was kind of standard fare, nothing earth shattering or interesting - quite uninspiring. Did someone say that the menu was changing? Mood: is it me or is it too bright in the resto? it was noisy and far too bright for a relaxed dining experience. Not to be picky but there was no artwork or flowers or anything to break up the monotony of the place. Service: our waitress was rather spaced out and forgetful. we left unsure whether Teresa's served dessert as we were served with the bill before tea/coffee or sweets. Teresa's Next Door has a better menu and selection of beers and a more fun place to hang out than the original Cafe. Sola on the other hand was a sublime experience. Quite unparalleled in my opinion.
