SaturdayLunch Near BLue Bell

[jazziellen]

I was invited to lunch(Lucky me) and was told to pick a nice place~~~ ALsions is not open for lunch on Saturday~The person is coming from the Mainline and I am in Abington and last time we met at the BLue Bell Inn(Sort of half way) I always enjoy it there as it is at least consistant~

What do my foodie friends suggest ???(Two mature(Who me) people)

Thanks all~

If you like Chinese/Japanese, Lai Lai Garden on DeKalb Pike is very good.

Thanks, I knew I could count on you ~~~~~ WIll check out both Blue Horse and Normandy Farm(Have not been to either) Being single Phil's Tavern is more my speed(Smile) Have been to Tai Orchcid which I liked! WIll report back after the lunch~

Well My friend and I had a lovely lunch at Coleman"s at Normandy Farm~~~~~ He had the petit filett and I had the salmon~They were able to change the salmon for me as I can not have SPICEYYY adn whatever they did it was DELICIOUS~ Portions were more then adequate for a lunch protion~
That was the good news~~~~ The less positive was the service~ Apparently a server called out(At least that was what I was told) and there was only one server(Only 3 tables eating when we were there so that should not have been a problem) but I was told he was new when I mentioned soemthing to the hostess~ NO rolls served and when I asked server said he had to heat them up and we got them when we were almost finished with our lunch~

We enjoyed sitting in the lovely garden afterward as it was a lovely day but I will not hurry back expecially when I saw the dinner prices~

Thanks though for the suggetion~

As I said, Coleman's can be spotty!

If you like Mexican, Tamarindos in Blue Bell has great mexican food, more upscale than tacos and burritos. If you like Thai, Thai Orchid in Blue Bell has a really nice and reasonable priced lunch menu. I'm not sure if the Blue Horse Tavern in Blue Bell has a lunch menu, though I'm sure they do. I've never been, but Normandy Farm in Blue Bell always seemed like a nice spot for lunch.

I agree with Tamarindos and Thai Orchid. Not a fan of Blue Horse. I know they changed chefs but I have had no desire to go back. It hasn't gotten good reviews here. Coleman's at Normandy can be really spotty.
