Best Restaurants for Groups in Paoli

Great food and service. Festive atmosphere. We are already looking forward to next Thanksgiving there.

Our family enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving this year at the Desmonde. Everyone from my 91yo Mom to my vegan 25yo neice and all the rest of us really enjoyed the food. The price was reasonable and it was so nice this year to skip the grocery shopping, housecleaning, table setting, food prepping & cooking and especially the cleanup at my home like all the years before. We all said we would do it again.

We had Sunday brunch and it was our first experience at this restaurant! We had a quiet booth which was nice and secluded. Nick our waiter explained the entire menu which was nice that he spent extra time with us. We started with a small loaf of cornbread which was warm with soft butter . We had the Bellini bouquet which was 6 champagne style glasses with three different kinds of Bellinis ! We had lots of fun sampling them. Our breakfast food was outstanding as well as our dessert of pumpkin cake and a sundae! I would definitely come back again for brunch but would like to try lunch or dinner next time .

On the bright side, the food is so good! The place was jumping on a Saturday night. On the not as bright side, it was extremely noisy. People were enjoying themselves but it was hard to even have a conversation because of the noise from guests talking. Wondering if there are any changes to the dining room that the owners could make to lessen the noise. Will still go back because the food is excellent but maybe not on a Saturday night.

Always a good choice. The food is reliably very good and it’s always a fun night. Very good waitstaff. Sushi is always the highlight. It’s been in our regular rotation since it opened, but it has lost a bit of its specialness over the years.
