"Philly is filled to the brim with standout BYOB restaurants that feature eclectic and elevated menus, but in the suburbs the options are few and far between thus making them harder to find. But it was my dad who impressed me (I taught him well! by finding this crown jewel of a BYOB in an unassuming Havertown neighborhood, and it was Edgewood that managed to deliver an impressive dinner for my mom's birthday. The interior is roomy and comfortable decor with plenty of booths that can hold up to four. It also has an inviting decor with an open view that allows you to catch a glimpse of the kitchen staff at work. Upon arrival we were quickly welcomed, had our bottle of wine opened, and where presented with a menu of delectable options that were hard to choose from. while wild mushroom risotto fritters and and short rib flatbreads sounded like winning appetizers; we were instantly drawn to the cheese plate which featured brie, burrata, gorgonzola, and accompaniments like toasted almonds, fresh honey, and a delicious apple raisin chutney. with options like porterhouse style lamb chops, southern fried chicken, jumbo lump crab cakes, and bacon wrapped filet, any entree is a good decision. But I was especially drawn to and ended up ordering right with the shrimp and crab scampi with angel hair pasta, roasted tomatoes, and baby spinach in a pinot grigio broth.Choosing dessert would have also proven difficult if they hadn't of featured a 3 for $20 dessert sampler. My folks were satisfied with their vanilla creme brulee and honey ricotta cheesecake, and I was especially tantalized by the molten chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream. Overall Edgewood is a BYOB that can contend with those standout city ones. But it remaining on an unassuming suburban block gives it a solid hidden treasure status."
