“Food was delicious and the portion sizes were great!“

“We had our wedding at Hearthside over the weekend and were completely blown away by how amazing the day went. The food was unbelievably delicious and the staff’s attention to detail was incredible! Planning everything with them was so simple and enjoyable. Every request was met with a yes. Even our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the space, food, and staff. We can’t thank everyone at Hearthside enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!“

“Jim is fabulous to work with! We were moving my daughter to a tiny NYC apartment and found this lovely furniture and thought it would be perfect for the look she wanted. Jim was so helpful and even sent me pics of items not listed on the website yet. We saw a small table in one of his pics and asked if he could re-paint it another color and add a shelf. He did and also painted a shelf he sent a pic of in a matching color. Jim was able to deliver the exact day we needed the furniture. The furniture is so adorable and my daughter is so happy with how it all turned out!“

“The Love. was simply incredible! We came here with our 6 year old son. Our waiter was fabulous and very accommodating to our 6 year old which you don’t always find in Rittenhouse. The atmosphere was light and airy and the food was great! Make sure to try their Dubai Chocolate Sundae and if you’re going with children they do have special kids cups and will accommodate the menu for them.“

“Worth the wait. This was our last Philly Michelin m-starred restaurant to try. It’s the absolute best. The food was extraordinary and I’m already dreaming of my next meal there. My particular favorites included the buckwheat tart with morels and both pasta courses (one was an add on). Sadly I will now never feel satiated unless I’m eating Chef Schulman’s triangoli. A beautiful and intimate space with incredible care by the entire staff. Amanda Schulman was incredibly welcoming and engaged with the diners. Wine pairing was outstanding as was my Negroni made with Bruto Americano. The marzipan rhubarb cake was the stuff dreams are made of. So, so, so happy after this meal. Did I mention? Attentive and wonderful, wonderful staff. Thank you for an amazing evening!“

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

“Great food, music, and service!“

“Great menu, nice bar scene!“

“Really lovely spot with good food and drinks. We loved the sourdough bread with anchovies and tomato butter, oysters with Alabama white sauce, strachiatella and Caesar salad. Everything had great flavors and textures. The smoked fish tartine and halibut were a bit disappointing, we found them dry and underseasoned. We finished our meal with the delicious frozen key lime pie!“

“One of the finest restaurants we’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. A++++++“

“The food was very good. I liked that they gave complementary sparkling water with lemon.
Service was excellent. I had the steak with latkes and it was definitely very good. Apps and desserts were shared and most of them were delicious. Some we didn't love but it wasn't bad. I'd come back again!“

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

“Such a cute place and the food was absolutely amazing. My friends and I went for brunch and loved it. Highly recommend!“

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

“I always love my experience at Kiddo! The seasonal menu changes with what’s fresh and I love how they keep their sources local. The food is creative, surprising, and incredibly tasty. A perfect date spot or a great choice for a night out with the locavore in your life.“

“Great Sports Bar! Plenty of TVs in their main bar area and both dinning rooms. I would absolutely recommend you get the burger. It was packed full of greens, with the lettuce sauteed onions and grilled eggplant, but balanced it nicely with a big meaty patty and delicious house sauce. The fries were also exceptional, potentially double fried and thick cut, these steak fries were crispy and the perfect compliment to the burger. Staff was friendly and attentive and the neighborhood was cute!“

“Everyone who was working there was genuinely friendly and the food is amazing. I definitely recommend the wild mushroom toast.“

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

“My wife and I were visiting the area for the day for some obligations and decided last minute to have dinner here rather than closer to home. We were greeting nicely and seated promptly. Our server was helpful, friendly and attentive. We loved the Burrata we split as an appetizer. Our dinners were excellent as well. While the restaurant is part of a large mall, once you are in Seasons 52 you would not know it. Very glad we decided to have dinner there!“

“Everything was perfect from the moment I entered. The front host greeted me with a welcoming smile. I dined at the bar. My bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and walked me through a beautiful meal. Service was top notch. The team work was beautiful to watch. Great attention to detail. The food absolutely amazing. 5 stars“

“This past year I had to private events at Lamp Post, one brunch, one dinner. I can't begin to say how wonderful both was. The staff goes well above and beyond with everything and the food was great. You can't beat the price.“

“You will not be disappointed, from the ambiance, the friendly, professional service and the delicious food!“

“I recently celebrated a milestone birthday with a dinner at Elwood with family and friends. Chef Adam and Jenny were wonderful to work with and the meal was absolutely delicious. Everyone loved the venison scrapple amuse bouche. We shared several orders of perogies and cheese platters to kick off the meal, followed by a couple of orders of the tri- tip beef, the sea bass, and the rabbit, which are served family style with a whole host of accompaniments, including exceptional mashed potato that got rave reviews and deserves it's own mention. Several of the diners had never had rabbit, but they all tried it and it was a hit! I already have plans to come with some friends for an afternoon tea, and my husband and I will definitely be back for dinner and/or one of the dining events that Chef Adam hosts. Adam & Jenny, thank you for my birthday dinner one to remember!💖“

“Mt Laurel is not a hot bed for… anything… but Monterey Grill is THE silver lining in Mt Laurel. Chef Andrew and his kitchen staff have a group personality matches their menu to a “T”. It’s controlled chaos but the flavor profiles of every dish are enjoyable and it gives guests something different to enjoy every night. The waiting staff are all amazing; welcoming, fun, and professional. They know their menu like pros and they know their wine list equally as well. The regular bar tenders are GREAT and their smokey old fashions are next to none in the area.

Only feedback: Management could do a better job at livening up the atmosphere… there used to be live music all the time and now they only have live music on Fridays. There was recently a change in management, so I suspect that these unwanted changes came from ownership and the new upper management team to save money, but it’s been a big swing and an even bigger miss.

Locals have loved this spot for years. Hopefully ownership come to terms with their mistakes and decide to run it back because Monterey Grill was perfect the way it was for many years.

Don’t let it turn into a “chainy” feeling vibe like Harvest or Red Stone. People like restaurants that are boutique and different. Character is everything in the hospitality business and the staff at Monterey Grill already has that!

Management has a choice to make… hopefully they figure it out. I’ll always support this spot, if for nothing else because the staff deserves the support.“

“My first time at the yard house and I’ll be back! It seemed a little busy but a table for two was a quick 10-15 mins. Our waitress was very nice and had a good flow of service. She checked on us just enough and our drinks and food came out in good timing.
I had an old fashioned which was balanced well. We had the Brussels sprouts, shrimp app, and spicy beef noodles. Everything tasted great and we will definitely be back and I can’t wait to come for football season!“

“GLENN FIXED MY FRIENDS SHOE AND WAS AMAZING MADE AMAZING DRINKS YASSSSS WE LOVE GLENN“

“Love FSC, the location is great, ambience and food are wonderful. The outdoor patio is very cute also just be careful they don't sit you in full sun. St upstairs for the first time, very cute area but need more than 1 server up there. Poor guy was running ragged handling all the tables, we had to wait awhile to put in order and never got offered refills since he was always too busy running food and taking orders.“

“We had a good, not great meal here. For the price (which was considerable) we were definitely expecting a bit more. The cocktails were great and the service great, the food was a bit underwhelming. We went with the tasting menu instead of a la carte and found the dishes good, but not anything particularly special. They were very accommodating with an allergy which was very nice. I'd like to try the bar menu but probably don't need another dining room experience.“

“Spring pesto mafaldine had the perfect pesto pasta. The sauce was so delightful and we loved the pistachios. Atmosphere was so beautiful inside the restaurant! Great ceilings as well.

Nice menu options within a museum. Smaller portion sizes but perfect for a light lunch. Great as a meeting spot and break from seeing the wonderful art.“

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

“My husband and I came here to celebrate our 5-year wedding anniversary. I have Celiac, so I need to adhere to a strict gluten free diet. Michael was extremely accommodating and even mentioned that he prepared the entire menu to be gluten free for all guests that evening since he was aware of my dietary needs ahead of time. Each dish surpassed the next in deliciousness. We're already planning our next visit. Absolutely fantastic meal, incredible service, intimate atmosphere. Can't recommend enough!“

“Cozy atmosphere reminiscent of a speak easy. Apps were delicious…broccoli and potatoes. Pizza was excellent….thin, crispy crust with great toppings. Definitely on our list of new spots to go.“

“Friendly Service and a great setting. Felt very laidback and comfortable there“

“Alice is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out can be an art form. As a visitor to Philadelphia, the meal felt less like dinner and more like an invitation into a creative conversation between the kitchen, the ingredients, and the season itself.
What impressed me most was the restaurant's confidence. The menu is ambitious and inventive, yet never feels experimental for the sake of novelty. Each dish was thoughtful, balanced, and deeply satisfying, allowing exceptional ingredients to shine while still delivering moments of surprise. There is a clear point of view behind the food, but it is expressed with restraint and precision rather than excess.
In a city celebrated for its dining scene, it takes something special to stand out. Alice manages to do exactly that. Every course felt intentional, revealing a kitchen that is both imaginative and disciplined. There was always something unexpected to discover, which made the experience feel exciting from beginning to end.
The atmosphere complements the food perfectly—warm, welcoming, and intimate enough to encourage lingering over each course. It is rare to find a restaurant that feels both elevated and approachable, where serious culinary talent is matched by genuine hospitality.
Philadelphia is known for outstanding food, and Alice has distinguished itself as one of the most memorable and rewarding dining experiences I enjoyed during my visit. Long after returning home, I still find myself thinking about specific dishes, flavors, and moments from the evening—a testament to how thoughtfully every aspect of the experience is crafted.
For anyone visiting Philadelphia in search of a truly exceptional meal, Alice deserves a place at the very top of the list.“

“Best brunch in Philly! Everything is delicious!“

“Our group of six had an absolutely wonderful meal! Focaccia and salad appetizers were delicious as were our main courses - tile fish, pasta, vegetable lasagna, and lamb. We finished up with one of each dessert, sharing with great pleasure. Our waitress Shannon was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient and made a special evening even better. Would highly recommended this terrific restaurant to anyone who loves great food!“

“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.“

“Great service! Great Food! Wonderful service! My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously! Such a friendly and kind staff! If you need a bite to eat in a relaxing atmosphere, check it out!“

“Food was absolutely amazing! Drinks were great too! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Drinks are to margaritas 16.00 come on wow“

“Dope spot ....food great 👍🏾 nice vibes“

“Fun awesome food, service and atmosphere.“

“very yummy restaurant, you could tell the ingredients were fresh and the food was delicious! a little pricy but pretty much everything is these days and the atmosphere and service were great as well. I loved the decoration and natural lighting. the pizza crust was the best I've had in a while, chewy with a nice char.“

“We just celebrated my birthday with friends there tonight and LOVED it!! Noah, our server, was absolutely fantastic! The food, delish!! The inside was gorgeous! We live an hour away and will come back!!! Highly recommend!!“

“Killer breakfast specials. Everything on the menu seems well-thought out and presented. Yummy place.“

“We traveled from Colorado and stumbled upon this place. We definitely lucked out. The atmosphere, the drinks, the people all deserve 5 stars or more. The bar tenders were fun to talk to and we felt right at home. They have great drink recommendations and my husband and I enjoyed the hour we spent just talking and hearing stories. Thank you for the good times“

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

“The Butcher Bar is very lively in a fun way. We sat next to a large party of adults and kids celebrating a birthday and everyone was having fun, no matter their age. It's tough to pull that off. My husband and I both had a steak. I had steak frites and he had a steak with asparagus and mashers. The food was yummy and in large portions (think this might be a Philly thing). Our server was just starting that evening and she did a great job. I had a delicious cocktail with prosecco and my husband had a nice glass of red.“

“I had a fantastic visit to Yards Brewing Company, and it was one of the highlights of my time in Philadelphia. The brewery has a spacious, welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for relaxing with friends or enjoying a casual meal. I ordered a flight of beers to sample a few different styles along with a burger and fries. The beers were fresh and flavorful, and the food was just as impressive, with generous portions and great taste.

The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to recommend beers based on my preferences. The only small downside was that it got pretty busy later in the evening, so there was a bit of a wait to order another round, but the lively atmosphere made the time pass quickly.

My tip for first-time visitors is to order a beer flight before choosing a full pint. If you're hungry, pair your drinks with one of the house sandwiches or burgers—they go together perfectly.

Overall, I had an excellent experience. Thank you to the entire team at Yards Brewing Company for the great beer, delicious food, and outstanding hospitality. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Philadelphia.“

“Pretty atmosphere and good food“
