Great time! Came off cruise ship to watch Football at 10:30 AM. Zach, the Bartender & Emaline, the Server where the best! Zach offered cocktails which we hadn't had before & made sure the Philadelphia Eagles were on the screen. Emaline made sure our glasses were full as well as accommodating our food order. Would definitely go back again!! Thank you, Zach & Emaline!!
Amazing food, great drinks and service
Jules and Avery made our visit incredibly memorable, in the best way possible! We had a sizeable group of 14 and Jules kindly accommodated us. I had visited Temple Kitchen + Bar before, but just for drinking. This time we were able to try their food and were delighted at how good it was! Such a cool spot to hang out and kill time at (we were there for over 4 hours 😁).
