Triple Crown Restaurant at The Radnor Hotel Saddles up for Grand Opening on July 24, 2025
The Main Line’s most anticipated opening, Triple Crown Restaurant at the Radnor Hotel, inspired by the equestrian lifestyle and classic American style opened on July 24, 2025.
Triple Crown Restaurant, 593 E. Lancaster Ave., St. Davids, channels the effortless elegance of Ralph Lauren’s equestrian aesthetic, paired seamlessly with a menu anchored by classic American fare featuring the finest quality fish, seafood, and steaks in the region that are hand-selected, expertly aged, and prepared to perfection. Guests can also look forward to a selection of impeccably crafted dishes, from house-made pasta and seasonal seafood to classic raw bar offerings, vibrant salads, and signature cocktails.
Triple Crown Restaurant will open for dinner on July 24, for happy hour July 28th with lunch, breakfast, and brunch service to follow at a later date.
Executive Chef Robert Reissner, who leads the kitchen at Triple Crown, was born and raised in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, where he discovered his passion for cooking at the age of 14. That early enthusiasm led him to formal training at Johnson & Wales University in Providence. After graduating, he secured a coveted position at The Four Seasons in Baltimore, working under the acclaimed chef Michael Mina. His culinary journey then took him to the West Coast, where he collaborated with renowned chefs Thomas Keller, Michael Mina, and Neal Fraser, before ultimately joining the team at Catch Restaurant Group in Los Angeles.
From mahogany-paneled walls and walnut flooring to emerald velvet pillows and tartan plaids, every inch of Triple Crown tells a story of quiet luxury and timeless tradition. Equestrian motifs—vintage riding boots, polo mallets, jockey jerseys, and silver trophies—are tastefully woven throughout the space, evoking the noble spirit of the sport. All of the rooms can be closed off for private dining for 10 – 50 guests.
Designed by Barbara Balongue of Balongue Design, the rich color palette of deep black, burgundy, and emerald-green sets an inviting tone, accented by gleaming brass, antique mirrors, and golden touches. Leather channel-back banquettes and upholstered ceilings enhance both comfort and acoustics, while brass sconces, library-style millwork, and a faux fireplace mantle foster an intimate, club-like ambiance.
Triple Crown Restaurant is the perfect space for intimate private events, with space for 10 to 50 guests. Triple Crown is also home to an elegant event space and outdoor garden, perfect for celebrations that demand a touch of grandeur with timeless design, warm hospitality, and elevated dining. The interior features 7,000 square feet, and the exterior garden area, which will be completed in September, features a glasshouse conservatory that can host 100 guests and a sailcloth tent that accommodates 300 guests.
