“The food and service were great, and for that reason my wife and I would go back. Prices were a little high in my opinion, but worth it for special events. I also appreciated the little details: it was my birthday, and instead of the traditional cake they put a candle on a plate with the phrase “happy birthday “ beautifully written on it with chocolate.“
“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.“
“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!“
“It’s a nice small area in the city! I definitely wanted to try a meal that night that was culturally different from my usual orders and this did it! This place does a great job of making you feel like you’re in the European city and service was very friendly!Food choices are definitely different but great to experience“

“We went there for the first time tonight which happened to be during restaurant week. We ordered from the prix fixe menu with the 3 course meals. It was the most delicious food I have ever had in my life. The service was impeccable. It was definitely a 10/10!!!“
“Atmosphere and service were A+. We did the tasting menu and maybe that’s where we went wrong. Portions were super small and dishes were okay. I’m not looking for buffet size portions but seldom have I experienced a tasting menu where I was left feeling unsatisfied and wanting more. We’ll probably try one more time and go the entree route.“
“Our waitress was phenomenal, and the food was perfect. The stuffed crepe’s texture and richness was amazing. Our rosy chicken was so lovely, the mango spread and truffles were wonderful accompaniment. And the financier for dessert was truly incredible. We will definitely be returning!“
“I have only good things to say about this place. I thought at first it was a little odd to have steak tartar served with fries but the pairing was actually really good! Everything was amazing. I have never had such a complex gnocci dish and it's probably the best I've ever had. The scallops were perfect. Mussels, snails... all of it. Everything was just amazing; I cannot stress that enough. I can't wait to go back!“
“Came here on a weekday and it was bustling even before noon. You order first at the front and then go grab a seat. Then they bring your order to the table. We got the afternoon high tea and the croque madame with Moroccan mint tea. Everything was so good. We especially loved the croque Madame. The macarons from the high tea had just the right amount of sweetness and is super soft so you know it has been freshly made.Parking: There’s free parking on the street if you are able to get one. Easier to find on a weekday than weekend. Otherwise there are parking garages nearby.“
“Mabu is a neighborhood gem with intimate ambience, incredible food, and just a real sense of taste in everything from the decor to menu curation. It’s a French countryside vibe… and extremely affordable. BYOB helps. The sheppards pie, duck confit, ratatouille, and omg the BANANA PUDDING! I secretly don’t want to tell people about it, so it can remain in this state of perfection for my family’s personal use… but I also hope they stay open and need more foot traffic! Food takes a while to come… but so what? This place is for lingering and enjoyment.“
“The food was delicious, albeit pricy, and was neatly complemented by the DJ set as part of their spring happy hour celebrations. I enjoyed just about every part of my experience, aside from moderately slow service. I'd still recommend this hotel-lobby-bar to anyone looking for a lightly upscale good time.“
“Great food and excellent service! I didn't think I'd need a reservation for my party of two at 1:00 PM on a Friday, but the restaurant was packed, so I was glad I had reserved a table. Our server Kashi was attentive and helpful while giving us plenty of space to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. My only regret was not buying a loaf of bread on the way out!“
“A neighborhood staple, and a great example of how a cultural melting pot like South Philly offers a cross sample of delicious food from different parts of the world. Neighborhood family-owned and operated. The sausage egg and cheese croissant and fruit pastries are a “
“We always love The Little Hen anytime my wife and I go! Chef Alan and his crew, including Kyle who runs the front of the house, all are amazing! We had a very intimate wedding at City Hall and had our reception dinner with immediate family at The Little Hen and everyone could not stop raving about the food! Highly recommend for a date night, dinner with family or friends, or a private event!“
“This place has the best cozy vibe in the winter. Perfect for a date night, especially if you're celebrating something. I loved the tasting menu. Everything was delicious and felt very fancy. The cocktails were also delicious and our server was amazing. The only qualm I have is that it was pretty pricey.“
“Let me tell you about the sexiest meal I’ve had and it comes from Cafe Lutécia. It is their tomato bisque and toasted baguette with brie and ham. Is perfectly warms your bones and fills your belly, all while quenching your taste buds. You need this meal in your life! Thank you for being an amazing staple in the neighborhood !!“
“What a really great spot. We came for a work dinner, not knowing what to expect, and it could not have been a nicer evening. The food was fantastic, from the very first appetizer to the delicious dessert cups at the end. The service was even better. The people were really lovely and the ambiance was warm and intimate. Perfect night. Thank you!“
“Loved every moment there this evening! Staff is welcoming, professional & caring. They didn’t miss a beat. Our server was awesome. Food was outstanding. We were celebrating both of our birthdays tonight & they surprised us with a glass of champagne at the end of our meal. We both loved it.“
“The entire experience was top notch. I had the French onion soup and the skate. The skate was a recommendations by the server and it tasted exactly as he described it; a sweet fish, a mix between crab and scallop. It was cooked perfectly. Because it was my birthday, I finished off my meal with bananas foster crème brûlée. My compliments to the chef!“
“Christos was friendly, exceedingly knowledgeable, efficient, and responsive. He also provided great appetizer and cocktail recommendations. The crab cake entree and the burger were delicious. Kudos to the chef and the entire team for a memorable experience!“
“We've been eating our way around breakfast spots in Reading Terminal Market, and the creperie was up today! The cashier was very nice, and our order was taken and delivered quickly. We were able to snag two of the seats at their available counter seating, which is limited but better than nothing! We ordered the apple caramel crepe as well as the sausage breakfast crepe, both of which were good. The apple caramel crepe had a great sweetness to it without being overdone, but I do wish that the apples were cooked down a bit like pie filling rather than being just large chunks of apple that made it more difficult to eat. The breakfast crepe was definitely the better of the two with a generous portion of meat alongside fluffy eggs and cheese inside of a slightly sweet crepe. They seem to go through a lot of nutella, so I would like to come back to try one of those!“
“Second time coming here because the vibes are relaxed and cute surroundings! Had some amazing orange wine with baked Brie, galettes and creme brûlée. Everything was amazing and I can’t wait to come back for more! Our server Sam was an absolute gem as well and took great care of us. 10/10 will be back for their wine selection, service, and small plates.“
“We had two dinners and three breakfasts here during our recent stay. It is pricey by our standards, but overall was very enjoyable. I had their flatbread pizza one night and their French onion soup along with grilled sourdough the second night. Both were excellent. My wife got their chicken breasts the first night and salad with grilled shrimp the second night . In both instances both instances the protein was charred and a bit too dried out. The service was spot on with servers morning f and evening g remembering us and previous days desires - fantastic. Breakfasts were amazing- wife went w omelette each day and I sampled their pork roll on brioche twice and French toast once- all excellent.“
“I've always wanted to go to afternoon tea and Chez Colette did not disappoint. From the selection of teas to the scones, tea sandwiches, and desserts, everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and outgoing. The ambiance was pleasant. I highly recommend going here.“
“The food was delicious. The appetizer was diverse, the beet salad was great. The winter squash cream soup my guest had was also good. The crab sandwich with the side salad was really tasty. The dessert was wonderful. Highly recommend this restaurant.“
“Great service and greater food, but the atmosphere is the real draw here. Very nice place to take a date or family in town. Elegant but casual. The brunch menu has a fantastic range while staying brief. Strong 8/10 overall I will definitely be back again“
“Favorite neighborhood spot for brunch & pizza! Their menu is great all day, but highly recommend the waffles, chicken schnitzel sandwich, and any of the desserts. They have an off the menu breakfast sandwich (choice of meat or none, egg and cheese) on any bread (we always do croissant) that I crave!! Every dessert is amazing, but our favorites include the chocolate tart, their cookies, and cheesecake.“
“One of my favorite bars in the city. The food is so good here. Drinks are amazing. If you're a beer drinker, then you may be disappointed as they don't keep beer on tap. It's bottles and cans only. It's a pricey place so going during restaurant week is a good option if you're watching your budget. Service is always exceptional. I'd highly recommend checking them out.“
“I hardly ever contribute to Yelp ...which isn't cool since I use it all the time. The reason I am writing a review is because I didn't see anyone mention the steak frites. The steak and au poivre sauce were really good, but the frites were absolutely incredible. I can't stop thinking about them. They are reason enough for us to go back again as soon as possible. It's a nice modest little place that doesn't have a ton of appetizer options or beverage choices but those fries were that good. I would have them with EVERYTHING...“
