New American Restaurants in Philadelphia, PA

“We got the chefs menu and sat at the counter. Service was excellent and food was incredible. The scallops were absolutely delicious. Sitting at the counter to watch the chefs and asking them questions was an awesome experience. Missing one star because the dessert was just not good. I’ve been to a lot of great restaurants that just aren’t dessert places, not sure if this is one of those or if it was just the dessert they had on the menu at the time. Will definitely go back.“

“Celebrated our 5th anniversary here tonight while visiting Philly. Beautiful ambiance and impeccable service. Rebecca our server was kind, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our experience great. We did the Chef’s which was seasonal, thoughtful and delicious. Each serving was creative and intriguing. Compliments to Chef Kevin McWilliams. If you live in or near the Philly area please give this place a try!“

“Beautiful lounge with cool vibe!!“

“Amazing experience as always! Front-of-house staff was friendly, proactive, and deeply knowledgable about the menu (especially the food runners, which is not typical for all restaurants so was a great surprise here!). I always get something from their seasonal menu here, and their Mac & Cheese with Ramps was great (I will say that their ramps dish from last year was even better).“

“Everything looked so great on the menu. It was hard to choose! We tried something from all of the sections on the menus. The oysters with grapefruit mignonette was delicious! The oysters were shucked and cleaned beautifully. The quail was excellent. We also ordered the pasta and duck. Both were delicious! We capped off the meal with the chocolate torte which had a bit of honeycomb cookie. The servers and food runners were excellent. Our food runner in particular was very enthusiastic about our dishes. Also loved that there were Zero-Proof beverage options! The menu is a bit pricey, but we thought it was worth it. I would happily go back and try more dishes.“

“Customer service was exceptional. Seating area was a bit small but everyone was so friendly and worked as a team. Honestly the best service I ever had. I went for restaurant week and ordered the shrimp creole. Omg I cleaned my plate and was still salivating over the idea of more when I got home. My partner ordered the crab soup and the salmon. Eyes rolled in the back of his head y’all. Everything was so well and for my first time they left a lasting impression. Would definitely dine here again. I’m just disappointed the shrimp creole isn’t on the regular menu.“

“I had a great brunch. Loved the atmosphere. Food was excellent. I’ll definitely be back“

“I enjoyed dining at Her Place, I definitely felt like I was having a meal in someone's home. The restaurant is tiny and every table has a view of the kitchen. I dined by myself so I was placed at one of the two window seats. My back was toward the kitchen and I had to turn around each time the chef was describing the dishes. The menu wasn't something I would have normally chosen for myself, it was very seafood focused but it was all around tasty. The main dish was a quail and morels. My favorites of the night were the chicken liver pate with radishes and homemade Ritz cracker. They really did taste like a Ritz but much elevated. My other favorite of the night was the dessert: the rhubarb, cream cheese semi freddo, and meringue was to absolutely die for. You could really taste the cream cheese. Also notable was the sauce Americaine in the quenelle/lobster dish, I wanted to scoop it up and lick the plate. I see people complaining how it wasn't enough food since you had to share, I didn't have this problem, as I was solo and was able to eat full plates of everything. I enjoyed the final touches at the end, giving out cookies and a bag of Chex Mix. Bravo. I'd maybe come back if I were to travel to Philadelphia again. $120 after tax and tip.“

“Amazing little bar with a great beer selection and excellent bar food. The wings were among the best I’ve ever had (and I’m from Alberta - we take wings seriously!) knowledgeable server and very friendly. They put a lot of care into the food and drink of this bar and it shows.“

“Best brunch in Philly! Everything is delicious!“

“Amazing food. Wonderful service. Go there!“

“Great food, music, and service!“

“Everything we ordered was so good! Very friendly, nice server and the cook! Genuinely happy eating there. A restaurant where you can eat carefully selected dishes at a reasonable price!“

“Great atmosphere, GREAT food selection and taste and service was awesome.....thanks Max!“

“We loved the food, the service and the ambiance. We will be back when we visit Phila again.“

“We were very excited to try this spot and finally made it on a Saturday to celebrate our anniversary, which I noted when I made the reservation. Overall our experience was good, but not as good as we had hoped. The vibe and decor is absolutely gorgeous (although we do recommend that they dim the picture lights over the art, as it was very bright and reflective). We had the 4 course chef’s menu and every single dish was really beautiful - this was one of the standout elements, as all the plates looked like art themselves. The flavors were not bad but some of the dishes were on the bland side, while others were quite delicious. We started with the hamachi crudo and endive salad - both were okay. Then the crab bisque and charred octopus - the bisque was the winner. For mains we ordered the lamb loin and sea bass. The lamb dish came out first but we waited about 5 minutes for the bass to come, and it seemed as though the lamb was waiting in the kitchen for a while because it was mostly room temperature by the time I started to eat it. The flavors were good but mild. The seabass was delicious. Also really enjoyed the love cake for dessert. So, overall, a 4-course menu for $70 is a great price compared to the individually-priced dishes. While not every dish was amazing, the meal had some high notes and I really appreciated how beautiful they were. I was a little let down by parts of the meal and disappointed they didn’t acknowledge our anniversary, but overall I think this place was worth the visit and I will likely go back to try it again and explore some of the other dishes.“

“Great atmosphere. Awesome staff. Of course, great drinks!“

“Food was awesome as were the drinks!“

“Ordered randomly through postmates bc of a promo offer they had. omgggg probably best delivery order I've ever received. Everything was fresh even though I ordered late! Made a bowl with herb chicken, rice, mashed potatoes, and an apple Kale salad. Also got mac and cheese and the 2 desserts. I was surprised that I liked everything. Hoping they open more locations not just in the city!“

“Their beer list was very nice. I enjoyed two different craft brews. My husband and I shared the Mac & cheese and it was delicious. I had the buffalo seitan nuggets and he had their signature burger, which he devoured. I really like that there were some different vegetarian options other than just salad or a plain ol’ veggie burger, and their house made ranch that came with the seitan nuggets was awesome! The atmosphere was really good, and the 60’s and 70’s music that was playing was just so nice for a change.“

“Amazing food well presented“

“I love coming to this place! Each time I come, the food and drinks are delicious, the atmosphere it’s just right and even if it’s cold outside they make sure to keep you warm. I want to personally recognize Juan, who is so attentive during each visit. He is very welcoming and kind to all the guests. He is always watching out to make sure every table is assisted and not waiting long. Truly amazing!“

“It was a really nice vibe and great food“

“I’m upset. I wish I had the appetite of four people. This brunch will be the crown jewel of the Italian market. The corn pancakes were phenomenal and there are 10 other things I can’t wait to try. Such a perfect atmosphere for brunch. I am already planning my visit for next week.“

“Our server, Liam was exceptional. The young lady receptionist and young gentleman who greeted us were most kind and accommodating. Felt like we belonged. Food was excellent and a good variety. Seems going out to eat nowadays is getting more and more expensive. And comparing to other restaurant pricing... It was fair for $ value. We will return.“

“In from va beach for vball tournament. Local friend showed me around and I was lucky enough to land here. The short rib with asparagus and potatoes as side was nothing other than amazing. My 2nd favorite meal over 51 years of life. The only reason there is one piece of Rib on plate is because I couldn't picture the next day without the taste.“

“We chose outdoor seating reservations. It was rainy and chilly, but they had the table beautifully set, it was covered, and we had heat lamps. Our waiter was completely delightful, and I would come back just for him! The food was creative, unusual and delicious. Beautiful presentation. One could tell how much pride and care, the owners, chefs put into the food. I look forward to returning soon.“

“Fast, friendly service.. Great food!!“

“Unique food, cozy, candlelit atmosphere. Our group enjoyed it tremendously. Highly recommend.“

“if you haven't been to LA Roma in Port RICHMOND I highly recommend this new asset to our neighborhood. Food is amazing and so is the service. Cannot wait to go back.“

“Went last week and had an amazing experience especially the assistance we received from our waitress and the pastry chef. I had the one of the special entrees of the day- duck breast and since I’m not drinking, their lavender lemonade was both cute and tasty. A little tart, but very lemonadey. My husband got a ton a stuff that I don’t remember, but he enjoyed every drink, appetizer ( it was a tuna bonbon special) and entree. I’ve driven past this place for years, so it was great to finally pop in. Added bonus, located in northwest Philly which is such an amazing part of the city.“

“I found this cute brunch place and tried their famous French toast—it was amazing!The granola-covered French toast had a slightly crunchy exterior and a soft interior with strawberry cream.It was a big portion, and after finishing it, I felt like I wouldn't want anything sweet for days. Next time, I'll try their Mexican breakfast and share it with my husband along with the French toast. Overall, it's a great place for brunch with yummy food!“

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.“

“One of the best new restaurants in Philly, and it’s BYO! Delicious forward-thinking dishes & excellent service in a quaint Philly row home. Menu is a fixed price and changes often. Included in the price is an appetizer, entree, and dessert.I have been at least 5 times since moving to this neighborhood. I have yet to have any dish that was not excellent. The menu is always creative, the dishes colorful, and service friendly. Cannot recommend enough!“

“Awesome fool and interesting wall art. Gotchu some of that Sunday Brunch. Grab a Mamosa while your at it.“

“Fun awesome food, service and atmosphere.“

“LOVED my wet breakfast burrito. It was really really good and the spicy sauce on top is *chef’s kiss*. Just a little heat in a well composed burrito. And big! If I wanted to stuff myself, I would have finished it, but ended up just eating half.The server was the bartender and couldn’t attend to us as she was really doing two jobs (prepping all the drinks and trying to keep our coffees full). But the food was so good that it didn’t bother us much.The outside patio is also so relaxing. Perfect on a nice day.“

“On Point was very on point with our brunch. It's a BYOB spot in heart of Point Breeze with some great flavors and vibes. The group sampled quite a few starters including wings and cheesesteak egg rolls. For the main meal I had to go with the Challah French Toast. Unique flavor especially with the cheese and nuts. The group really enjoyed all the food. Our server TJ was also awesome. Made some great suggestions. Catch me back at on point in the summer.“

“I’m a Philly Film Wedding Photographer and my clients had the most epic wedding day here! It’s definitely the perfect place if you’re wanting to have a smaller intimate wedding. They had around 90 people, the ceremony was on the outdoor patio and then they had a roaming reception. Basically you could grab a hoagie (they also had BBQ from ZigZag) take it to the dance floor, head to the bar when you’ve had enough dancing, then repeat. If you’re looking to have a restaurant wedding, definitely consider Martha!“

“Everything prepared with amazing attention to detail. LOVED the oysters with caviar and the house burger is a stand-out!“

“Great food! Great atmosphere. Beautiful setting. Everyone that works here is super nice. Great beer as well!:)“

“The outdoor patio is comfy even in chilly weather, the food and drinks are tasty, and the service is good. The prices are a bit high, but that's kinda par for the course and not exclusive to this venue.Vegetarian options: Not too many veggie items to choose from, but more than one or two.“

“This is the only restaurant I've found in the city who has homemade french fries, and they are delicious. We've ordered here on a few occasions and the food is always tasty, though you should be aware the burgers and sandwiches are messy to eat.Portion sizes are generous, prices are reasonable, and the food tastes good. What else can you ask for?“

“I visited on a thursday with my buddy who goes often. Being a workday night it seemed pretty active yet still a relaxed environment. Bartenders were very friendly and attentive, additionally the wings were great. Will definitely return.Parking: It is south philly so obviously parking is a bit challenging, but I was able to find plenty of spots about a block and half or so away.“

“The drinks are good. nice atmosphere and great food“

“Great service and great food!“

“If you're looking for a great corner bar with awesome bartenders this is your spot. They know beer and have the best circulating on tap. They have tvs for the sports games and a pool table, and if you bring your own darts, you can play darts.“

“Super chill neighborhood gastropub. I met a friend for drinks and food here. We loved the place, vibe, food, and drinks. The whiskey honey wings will make you move in! The First Kiss cocktail was tasty! The beer selection was awesome too. Service was prompt, friendly, and super helpful.“

“Everything is good: good service, good food. Nothing is great though, and it's quite expensive (think $32 for some flank steak strips with frites). There are better restaurants right on the other side of the Schuylkill (like Vernick on Walnut), so this one is really just for when you happen to be in the neighborhood.“

“Went for Top it Off Brunch for my birthday and did NOT disappoint! Food was great and drinks were flowing. We sat on the heated patio which was great. The restaurant opens up as you keep walking back, much larger than originally expected. Our waiter was super attentive as well. Have done many bottomless brunches before and this one is in my top 5! For larger parties you have to call and the email the management but the process was seamless. Will be returning.“
