Fayette Street Grille - CONSHOHOCKEN

Not what it used to be. some food ordinary. other poor/

Good food, our server was excellent. When we arrived WITH a reservation the only table still available was in the doorway. We were informed if we wanted to wait for a more desirable table, we could be seated as soon as one cleared, but we would only have an hour to eat as that table was part of a large reservation arriving later. We agreed to the one hour limit but we felt very rushed as people were starting to line up in the doorway. We have been to Fayette Street Grill many, many times over the past 10 years and are always pleased with the food but not on a Saturday night. They have great bread desserts are made in house, so well worth the splurge. It’s usually noisy but it was extra noisy on the night we visited. Pluses definitely exceed any negatives. NOTE: ask for the high top table in the front window. We were able to reserve that on one occasion and it is by far the best seat in the house.

Great restaurant in conshocken we just wish it was closer for us to get together again.

DON'T GO AT 5. Hours are stated and posted as opening at 5-our reservations were for 5. It was dark and locked when we got there. Finally we called and someone picked up and they came and opened the front door-but no one had started in the kitchen yet so we didn't get fed until almost 6. They had a steak feature. I explained I wanted the steak steakhouse medium rare, and if they weren't sure-to do it rare. It came out medium. They offered to redo it, but we'd been waiting an hour already. The food was OK and the price very reasonable- $39 prix fixe for appetizer, dinner with sides and desert. I think if we had tried to go at 5:30 or 6 it would have been a much better experience.

My wife and I have always loved Fayette Street Grill. As Conshy residents, it’s a short walk and always represents a tremendous value in that the food you get seems much more expensive than the actuality of the prix fixe cost. The ownership recently changed with their long time Chef Sugalski buying the place. From what we can tell, this means more frequent menu changes and taking some very delicious chances with the menu. This time we started with Beef Kebobs and an Egg Dip appetizer. Both were amazing. We then both had the Lamb Shank, which literally fell off the bone when you touched it. We both loved it, agreeing it was the best dish we’ve experienced in a while (and we go out to eat a lot . Dessert was a tasty, but subtle, banana creme brûlée, and an apple crisp that was more like an apple cake, but still delicious. The decor hasn’t been updated, which is the only knock on the place: the decor is charming, but dated. It’s certainly no dive, but the interior could use a freshening up. The star here is the food that Chef Sugalski prepares, though. We’ll be back soon before the menu changes again. There’s more on this menu to explore. Just don’t forget to bring your favorite wine :
