“ So my family just got dinner at Letty's Tavern on their opening night and it rocked. We recently moved from West Chester because the college vibe kinda overwhelmed the whole scene but we were missing the restaurants there big time. Most of the restaurants we've been to in Kennett Square so far were on the stuffy side and served food that I haven't eaten since the 80's. Their drinks were garbage too. Letty's restored a historic house and redid the whole inside. Looks great! The servers were attentive and could make credible recommendations on the menu. The food was ridiculously great and had inspired spins on traditional food like an Asian style fried chicken sandwich. The drinks were strong, modern and tasty. The owner's partner was the Pastery chef so we tried the cake and was moist and yummy. My wife and I were dueling with our forks over the last piece. The owner (Jacob) stopped by to all the tables and checked on how folks were doing. Love to see the passion of a new business owner who really cares about his customers. Ballsy for them to open with COVID still killing business left and right. Show this dude some support and enjoy a kick ass meal while you're at it. ”

Dennis was our server and could not have been better. We had cocktails; What can I say? We left Longwood Gardens and headed home and stumbled upon Letty's tavern. We found parking out front easy.

“ We were here for New Years Eve. Great lively but calm atmosphere on the bar side. Prompt service both with food and drinks. Creative and tasty drinks, great presentation on all of the food. It tasted as good as it looks. Will definitely be back for another meal. ”
“ Consistently amazing food and drinks! The atmosphere is always positive, chill and the staff is always kind, welcoming and friendly. Highly, highly recommend Letty’s! My absolute favorite dish here is The Halibut. I travel a lot and Letty’s is on par with some of my favorite Vegas, LA & NYC food and cocktail spots. Everything on the menu is exceptional! ”
“ Another lunch/dinner date with my food friend April! This time we brought her grandson Michael with us. Our server Kare was awesome, very nice, attentive, and made some great suggestions. We all started with a bowl of Mushroom soup. We were all a little startled when we got it and it wasn't a cream based soup haha! But, it was delicious! Packed with mushrooms and the broth had so much flavor with a bit of a kick to it as well. Michael and I both picked up our bowls to drink every last drop of it! April had the pasta dish of the day, I believe it was the Cavatelli, delicious! Pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce was full of flavor and the mush just made it all that much better. Both Michael and I had the Italian Dip, mine with fries and his with salad, that we naturally just shared . The dip was very good, it was made with pork and had perfectly cooked broccoli rabe. The aju though, made the sandwich! As the aju always does with a dip. The layers of flavor were just perfect! The fries were also great, seasoned with just the right amount of salt and pepper, the salad came with a very nice, refreshing, light dressing that was much appreciated on a hot day! April's Cosmo was made just the way she likes, and when she switched to her vodka martini she was just as happy with that. Michael and I both had a beer, lager for him and an IPA for me. Both cool and refreshing and my IPA was delightfully hoppy. Will definitely visit here again! ”
“ Food was good. My burger was tasty. The wings were excellent. Steak frites got rave reviews! Fast service. We had lunch in the dining area but the bar looked like a good place for drinks. ”
“ Stopped by after visiting the book barn on our way to University of Delaware to drop off our son. Dining room was clean and has a friendly atmosphere. Our waiter was efficient and friendly as well. The chicken wings were soooo good and their ranch dressing was homemade. Delish! We also had the mushroom soup others raved about in the reviews- well deserved. Perfect for such a cold day. Son had poutine which he enjoyed. The pizza is a thin crust type with a decent amount of toppings but a smaller amount of sauce than usual. Personally I prefer that. Overall a really nice place I’d stop again! ”
“ The food and service were both amazing! I had my bridal shower there, and everything exceeded my expectations. I was so happy with how everything turned out. I highly recommend this restaurant!" ”
