“Dinner was delicious! We had a lovely time at this restaurant.. our waiter Nash was very attentive and friendly. My husband ordered a drink he wasn't fond of it...ask to change it. Nash was more than accommodating..he brought him a couple of other options to try. Out meals were delicious as was our tuna appetizer. A great experience for our first dinner in Philly.“
“Ioved the food it was my first time here and the size portions are really good. I'd suggest seeing if you can get a window seat or outside seat for best atmosphere experience. <3They also have a gluten free option with bread so that was a nice suprise!!“
“Absolutely loved the Sundae. Potato chips and kettle corn must be in all of my sundaes going forward. The latkes were phenomenal - must order. The harissa broccoli was delish. The burrata and focaccia was a delightful favourite.The Caesar salad was overdressed and the croutons were too hard for my preference. The pepperoni pasta was exactly that - not the worst but it was something I'd make drunk in my kitchen at 3 am. Fries were meh.A solid 4 on the food front. Go just for the decor alone, feeling like I was in an 80s golf clubhouse. The pool table is cute and fun too.“
“First time at River Twice.Met up with some favorite friends from my American Water days. Interesting approach to a menu. There was a $75 fixed tasting menu and then a set of optional extras. I went with the soft shell crab special and everyone else did the burger (since we specifically came on burger Monday). This is a cozy small restaurant in the heart of Philly. We were seated at the counter and were able to watch the food prep. Pretty cool. Service was excellent. Food was outstanding.Plenty of food to satisfy your hunger in the tasting menu alone, but I am glad we added the extras. The starter was raw Maine scallops in a crème sauce.Unbelievably good! This was followed by the NJ sushi rice with smoked steelhead.Well made, filling, and slightlyunremarkable. The mackerel, steamed cabbage and sweet potato made up for it with a perfect bite of these three ingredients! My soft shell crab was very unusual, in a good way, with an interesting creamy sauce and pickled onions. The burger was outstanding!! Lots of nuanced flavors going on. Finally, the winter citrus creamsicle was fun, creative, light, and the perfect ending to a super cool dining experience. Highly recommend River Twice for the adventurous eater!“
“Definitely the best meal I've had in a while. I sat at the bar and felt welcomed like I was in someone's home. The bartender was attentive but gave us space. I had the ribeye and it was cooked to perfection. Would recommend to a friend and absolutely return.“
“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.“
“An exceptional dinning experience, but getting in is a bit tricky. The restaurant opens advanced online bookings in intervals of two week blocks, on the Sunday prior. There are two seatings each night, 6:30pm and 8:30pm. If you can’t get a reservation for the released block time, you can request to be added to the wait list. That’s exactly how I received my dinning spot. The experience is intimate, warm and friendly. It truly is like being invited to a friend’s house for dinner, except your friend won’t be serving you these yummy dishes. The food creations are amazing and the courses numerous. The chef announces each dish before it’s served, explaining the ingredients and inspiration. They also provide an extensive wine list and delicious craft cocktails. Highly recommend!“
“A combination of my favorite two vocab: “Brunch”+ “Buffet”. And the food is good! The girls at the reception were so sweet and helpful. Gave us a very good first impression of this place.The service could be improved. The first 10 minutes we sat down, no one stopped by for water or introduction. The server was okay when he was presented in the area. However he would occasionally disappear for quite long time. We waited pretty long for our check and had to have someone else give us the check. After the long waiting, we saw a sprite we didn’t order appeared on the bill. He was able to take it off, but with the waiting we were a little bit out of patience.In summary, definitely will come back and recommend this place. It’s perfect for casual lunch when you don’t know what you want.“
“This is the second year in a row that my DAR group held our Women's History themed tea at Elwood. Stellar service, I tried things I never normally would like the scrapple (not a fan of it generally), it was a little piece of heaven! All the food is small bites for tea service. The chicken salad on a mini croissant ?. The biscuits, clotted cream, strawberry jam made by the owner's mother! Absolutely scrumptious!!!“

“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!!!“
“Am really happy to have this place in the neighborhood! Great little brunch spot. Went at 1030 on a Sunday and didn’t have to wait for a table - but started to fill up pretty quickly after that. Service was great. Casual atmosphere but still nice. Two of us got the huevos rancheros and would definitely get again! Coffee good. They special made a bagel breakfast sandwich for my kiddo. They also take credit cards which is always so nice! Would recommend and go backKid-friendliness: They have a small kids menu with chicken fingers and grilled cheese and breakfast items“
“We made a 7 man reservation at 9pm for I and a friend’s birthday. We enjoyed a chefs tasting menu since it was so late and, from that, I can say that every dish here is made exceptionally well. Every morsel of food was an amazing experience and a blend of complex flavors. The pasta and protein was hearty and cooked to perfection, and the desserts were phenomenal. The fusion of savory and sweet is utilized masterfully at Chez Hansi, in a way I’ve never never experienced before. I ofttimes had to look at the kitchen in shock, since I couldn’t believe that the meal was coming from one (incredibly skilled) chef in a home sized kitchen. This place is an experience, and anyone looking to have exceptional food should be excited to eat at Chez Hansi. Maybe even honored.“
“Food was fresh and fantastic. It's considered new American food and I think the menu might rotate seasonally.It's recommended that you get 2 or 3 small plates per person plus an entree.Probably not kid friendly, the place is on the smaller side and not sure if they have high chairs.“
“This was the second time in 7 months we came to Jean George for a special occasion and were not disappointed. Both times we had the tasting menu and both times we were intrigued with the many delicious courses. We also included the wine pairing which brought to light many different wines, that we knew nothing about, if not for the sommelier's amazing choices. Each plate was beautifully presented, and every glass of wine was described. The meal was served over several hours but we never felt that the meal lagged. It was a luxurious experience that made us both have a feeling of being pampered. I would suggest Jean George to anyone who enjoys French cuisine. The food, service, and ambiance make this a destination restaurant for any type of celebration.“
“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!“
“Our server Elizabeth, along with all others who took care of us, created a spectacular experience for our family. Our celebration was special and they were sure to enhance it, including a special card for the guest of honor. Our meals were spectacular from drinks to desserts.“
“This place is wonderful we have been saying at a transplant house close by and thought we would give it a go ! It took a bit for a server to greet us at table we were sat at but no biggie our server was very sweet the food was delicious! Our drinks were yummy ? definitely will be back I do wish they would have bottle water available sux when ur transplant patient and can't have tap water ! But everything. Else absolutely ? ?“
“Loved our Sunday brunch here. Came here after trying Nemi (their sister restaurant) & thought everything was delicious. Great service for sure & the food was super good. Waffles & strawberry cream were not too sweet & perfect compliment to our other two dishes. Will return to Port Richmond soon.Vegetarian options: They can taylor your dish to be all veg.“
“Cute spot for a drink and bite to eat. We loved the thin crust on the pizza, the cheese and fried onion on the soup, and the pasta. The drinks here are lovely too! We have had drinks at the bar and dinner at a table, and both were positive experiences. One thing to note is that the place can get fairly crowded and feel a little claustrophobic. However, if you are used to restaurants in NYC, you will feel right at home.“
“Redcrest Kitchen is the Cafe / Diner on 6th St. just a one block south of Philadelphia's famous South St.; In other words, it's right where all of the action is. On this rare rather warm Saturday (short sleeve shirt in Philadelphia in Mid-March-really?) we got a outdoor table for our brunch and basked in the sun. My wife shared a hotdog and Caesar salad with my sons girlfriend, my son also had a Caesar with an order of fries and I had their very good; 2 scrambled eggs A wedge of excellent hash browns Two breakfast sausages And some whole grain toast To say we were all "Happy Campers" with this first rate meal combined with accomplished service would be an understatement. Along with a not too expensive bill, made this trip to the Redcrest Kitchen an outstanding experience.“
“Went to dinner with a group of girlfriends and we had a very memorable meal trying numerous dishes while seated at a large table nestled by the open kitchen. The charcoal inspired food is a great concept and all the dishes were fantastic. Our group ordered a bunch of food but I particularly enjoyed Cesar salad, radiatori pasta with lamb, whole fish (table favorite), and basque style cheesecake. Also the music playlist was on point. Kudos Chef Scott! Can’t wait to dine again :)“
“It was surprisingly a wonderful place. I was a little leary when I heard the name, because I grew up in Kensington, & strived to get away from there as a kid, but now,.....now it's the new hip spot to be, & this place checked all the boxes of a place I'd like to have in my suburban neighborhood. Good food, nice outdoor dining space, I like how they kept a lot of the original inside from the early 1900's, slate floor & everything. I'd like to go back sometime.“
“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.“
“This space is breathtaking. From the first few steps in, you know it’s going to be a good food experience. Meticulous detail on decor and the dishes. We had an oyster appetizer, fresh and well treated. We tried their pasta dishes and the spicy chicken sandwich and neither disappointed. Hands down best restaurant in the city.“
“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!“
“The place is cozy, everyone is super attentive and the waiter is very nice. The food was delicious. I liked that they already included the 20% gratuity for the service. I would visit againDietary restrictions: They have food items for people with certain allergies“
“Our little celebration of my mom's 86th birthday turned into such a lovely evening at Seasons 52! Our reservation was kept for us as an accident caused us to be about 15 minutes late. Shortly after being seated the manager brought delicious amuse bouche for us as a special treat and our waitress arrived with complimentary champagne! The menu was amazing and among the 5 of us we enjoyed asparagus soup, lobster bisque, ahi tuna tartar and one of the many Flatbread choices to start the meal off. Three of us chose a cedar plank roasted salmon entree and two chose the caramelized sea scallops. Everything was wonderful and served on very hot plates which kept our food warm while we ate! The little dessert choices were amazing and a fantastic small size so anyone would have room left to eat it! Additionally, they easily accommodated one of our party in a wheelchair with just a mention when I made our reservation. I recommend you try to find a slower service time if anyone in your group is hard of hearing. We arrived at 5:30 p.m. on a Friday night and by 6:30 the restaurant was very busy and quite loud. We left around 7:30 having had an amazing time! Thank you!Wheelchair accessibility: Awesome accommodation! Just call earlier in the day or the day before!“
“First time eating here with group of colleagues. Was enjoyable! We came during a day where it was a fixed menu literal table spread. We had the choice to eat with fingers or with utensils and we all opted to eat with our fingers. There's something enjoyable about being encouraged to eat our food with our hands. Obviously a messy meal but worth it. A garlic fried rice was laid on the table topped with vegetables and Proteins were chicken, pork and fish.Parking: 6pm Weeknight parking in South Philly. Enough said. I feel like if you're willing to park, say, 10 minute walk away versus being super close you will have better luck with parking.“
“Great live storytelling event! Intimate space. Drinks were good. Try out the duck cheesesteak. It was delicious! Definitely an elevated cheesesteak. Duck was very tender. It came with fries they were ok. No salt and some were way too soft. I like a little crunch on the outside.“
“I'm a huge fan of Sweet Amalia's, so when we were in the city looking for somewhere to eat I knew I had to check this place out! I starred off with an amazing drink and of course OYSTERS! Both of which were fantastic and a great start. I had the octopus lyonnaise for my meal and then the buttermilk panna cotta for dessert. We sat at the kitchen bar, which was really cool to watch the organized chaos of all of the hard work that goes into each plate. And our server was phenomenal. 5 stars! And already can't wait to go back!“
“I love this place. The food is excellent. I’ve really enjoyed the three different meals I’ve had there. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the extensive draft list. The music is a nice touch. Records are selected by the bartenders and played on a turntable. Definitely my favorite spot for drinks and food when we’re in the neighborhood.“
“We went around the happy hour time. 4-6 pm and you have to be seated at the bar for the happy hour prices. The service was good, attentive staff. The food was good to my surprise. The crispy cauliflower and mushroom pita pizza are a must-try. The Thai chili wings and Buffalo wings were deliciously sauced, along with my margarita. The Smash burger is a must-try too. It was a cool laid-back happy hour spot. I will be back to try the rest of the menu.“
“I had a pretty great experience with my girlfriend and family on a Friday night - they were able to get us inside as the outside became fairly windy. Great food, good service - very pleasant and not a bad price at all.The only improvement could be the outdoors structure but apparently they are improving that soon too.“
“Versi Vino's concept reminds me of a former Spanish tapas bar, Bar Ferdinand, my husband and I used to patronize in Northern Liberties that no longer exists. Everything was outstanding from the excellent service provided by our server, Devon, to the wonderful wine, cocktails and food. I will return. Highly recommend“
“Exciting food and drink options. Great service and vibrant atmosphere....Edit: The music used to be too loud, but it seems that they listened to the complaints and turned it down, a lot. Been there a few times in the past month, and it was at a normal level. Thanks!Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian options“
“Sabrina’s has become my go to spot for breakfast, brunch, and lunch in my area. The food and atmosphere are always outstanding, whether sitting at a table inside, outside, or at the bar. The service is also great - our waitress recently at the Art museum location, Lauren, was very attentive and friendly, helping us navigate the specials and enjoy our experience. Highly recommend!“
“The food is great and the service is awesome. The owner and his wife are very nice people. Also I live her flower garden. Thank You once again for the wonderful services and the awesome ? food.Wheelchair accessibility: Very much wheelchair ♿️ assistance“
“Vernick service runs a tight ship. Most restaurants can’t achieve that smooth a delivery. And as for the food, we thoroughly enjoyed all dishes but here are my personal favorites: sea urchin, broccoli toast, tagliatelle & rack of lamb. Thank you Seng and the rest of the crew for an exceptional experience.“
“Just earlier today, I hosted a party for my husband’s 60th, and my daughter’s 25th at Gass & Main, and it couldn’t have been better! Chef Dane worked with me personally over the last two months to plan the brunch menu, which included Build-your-own Scrambled Egg Tacos, Pulled Pork Sliders, Fried Zucchini & Chicken Ziti, Gass & Main’s amazing Brussel Sprouts Chips, and “The Big Salad” … it was all delicious, served in buffet style, with an “up close & personal” view of Chef at work in the open kitchen!Our servers Jennifer and Kristen couldn’t be beat! They served our party of 40 guests inside, and outside the restaurant, on this perfect 75 degree, sunny day on Kings Court in Haddonfield. They were attentive, friendly, engaging, and even offered to go around personally to top off guests’ mimosas and espressos. Kristen even put on her Photographer hat and took pictures for us as well!I highly recommend hosting an event at Gass & Main like we did! The food was hot and delicious, made with love, full of savory flavors, and Chef was easy to work with in the planning, and was ready to accommodate in whatever way they could. Thank you to all involved in the kitchen and dining experience for our party at Gass & Main! Well done!“
“My family and I visited front street cafe while staying in Philly and it was sooo amazing to see so many vegetarian/vegan options! I also loved the atmosphere of the place and the server was so happy and sweet! A little bit pricey, but the food was wonderful, and I was so thankful as a vegan traveling to see so many options for me. Thank you guys!“

“The Barnes Foundation Garden Restaurant is a gem! Beautiful setting and outstanding food and service. The Salade Nicoise was better than I had in Nice on a recent trip! Hats off to chef Michael O’Meara. The choice of greens and dressing superb. We came down from Northern Jersey, joined the museum , and will be back soon to the restaurant. Highly recommended. Locals are fortunate to have access to such a lovely restaurant. Chatted with a local proprietor at the Reading Market after and she concurred.“
“This was a perfect brunch spot!! I was surprised as how spacious the area was, just how I like it!! The food was delicious! Today, I got the chicken and biscuits. You can tell the biscuits were homemade with an authentic recipe. The chicken was crispy and flavorful. I ate half and placed the rest for later! The service was also amazing. Our waitress was patient with us when we were deciding our orders and refilled our drinks as we needed them. Overall, this experience was great. I will definitely be returning and I highly recommend!Vegetarian options: There’s a selection of vegetarian items. I believe you can remove or substitute meat products with other things as well.Parking: I was unaware where this place was located so I wasn’t expecting a struggle trying to find parking. There’s street parking and paid parking lots. Street parking is very narrow and I believe that’s also for pay. Plan accordingly!Kid-friendliness: There are many food and drink options that children would love! Look at their menu prior!“
“Great vibes, stellar menu, unbelievable service. We've been here a few times now, and every time it has blown us away. This time, we were helped by Alyssa, who provided attentive and excellent service throughout the night! The drinks were phenomenal (the cocktails rotate, so you gotta try them all!) And the food was bangin'. If you're hesitant to try out this cozy little spot, don't be! You won't be disappointed.“
“First, let me start by saying that the service was five stars. Normally I can nitpick something about the staff whether timeliness or otherwise - but I must say all the staff was courteous, professional, timely, and accommodating. If I were to recommend any restaurant based on the service provided by staff - this would be one of the top-ranking restaurants. They were phenomenal without flaw in any way.Hearthside is a BYOB with a four-course menu - each course having options you can choose between. I can only give feedback on the dishes I have tried. Overall the food was above par for the most part with a few exceptions.For the first course, we had tuna sashimi, Sicilian pistachio butter, sun-dried tomato, and octopus, cilantro emulsion, jicama, jalapeno. The tuna was decently thick and even cut, and fresh, and the pleasant flavors from the tomato and pistachio did not overpower the fish itself. It was slightly more oily than anticipated - but because of the decent size of the tuna cut it was still a delightful dish. The octopus was one of my favorites - it was cooked perfectly, and the smoke from the wood fire was chargrilled into the skin. My only complaint was that the amount of salt was a bit overpowering. I found that it took away a bit from the masterpiece that the octopus was.For the second course we had the cavetelli cavatelli, fennel, lamb merguez, ricotta espuma which tasted remarkably rich and satisfying. I also tried the burrata flatbread which was a menu addition. While the ingredients were fresh, the burrata at the center lacked any addition of pesto or otherwise - so while the ends tasted delightful, the balance was lost in the center of the dish.For the third course we had the half chicken, smoked Calabrian chili hot sauce, dill - it was cooked perfectly but the sauce was a little underwhelming. The second main was the monkfish, sunchokes, mussels, citrus ginger broth. The monkfish again was cooked perfectly, but wasn't anything remarkable. The broth was thin, and while refreshing, there was no component to make it cling to the fish at all. I would have liked to see the monkfish with a thicker sauce more reminiscent of a lobster dish. For the last course we had both the opera cake and the budino. The opera cake was pleasant, layers were even, and the strawberry was delightful. The budino was excessively salty - I salted nutella pudding. As someone who loves salted caramel-like flavors, I was disappointed. This combination did not work and is the only dish I would not recommend.Overall the food was high quality and innovative. For had a few bites and was unable to finish it. It tasted like an overly the price there should be little room for imperfections. I was most pleased with the octopus and tuna first course selections, and most disappointed with the main course and the budino.It can be difficult to get everything right with a rotating menu - I will likely be back again to see if the menu changes the difference in the food.The staff and atmosphere were definitely one of my highest-rated aspects of this restaurant. Excellent service - and the chef cooked everything perfectly despite some small misses in flavor details.“
“Sunshiney service to match the sunshiney food. What a delightful way to start a day, first ones in the door, hot, flavorful coffee offered to us within seconds. We went with the lemon ricotta pancakes (bright, tender) the Huevos Rancheros (smoky stick to your ribs flavor profile) and an egg Philly cheesesteak on fleshy pretzel roll. Everyone raved about their food, delivered quickly and with genuine friendliness. Bonus for those with nut allergies—they are aware and helpful.Dietary restrictions: Clearly marked items that contain nuts and some gluten free options too.“
“Friendly neighborhood Mom and Pop run deli, call ahead to have your order ready for pick up as they can get very busy. Luncheon meats are cut fresh and prices are more reasonable than the supermarket. Have yet to try their sandwiches and hoagies but they seem to be very popular as they are constantly making them and always have plenty of orders for them. Be patient as it is only a 2 person operation so if you walk in you may have to wait a bit. They are a cash only operation.“
“We tried TD for the first time on Monday as my brother was at Jeff for a treatment. We had egg frittata and a breakfast sandwich--both were outstanding. But the star of the show to me at least was my iced cinnamon roll latte. I normally don't go for this type of drink because they always taste like a mouthful of sugar. This had a delicious coffee flavor with just the right balance of milk and sweetness. Obviously these types of beverages are a sweet treat but one does want to taste the coffee. The young women in there keep everything running smoothly and the atmosphere is peaceful and warm. We're happy to have found a new spot.“
“Only went for their beer and drinks. Online menu isn't up to date with what they had on tap, but the beer selection was descent. Surprisingly had a great mojito, wish I would have had more cocktails as this was def more of a bar than a brewery.“
“500 stars for the service! We were treated so kindly by the wait and cook staff--words cannot express how well they did! So considerate and personal. It is well worth the travel and parking hassle (classic downtown Philly)!Probably my all-time top place for exceptional service. Someone give these people an award!Great for a fancier date night or engagement celebration or post-rehearsal dinner drinks. Even a birthday dinner is a perfect reason to go - the staff will make sure you have the best night and make you feel welcome.*** Make sure you get your reservation. I made mine on the Thursday night before the Saturday we went and there were plenty of options for reservation times.Dress code is business casual or more formal if you want to get classy. Guys were in button-down shirts and pants; women had blouses or sweaters and slacks.Parking: Either plan to get there 30 min early to find parking or pay the high price for the parking lot about a block away.“
“PHENOMENAL!!!! My friend and I are touring South Jersey diners we have never visited. We started our journey today with the Westmont Diner. We both are wondering if this establishment is going to be the best. My friend has his usual, the turkey platter. He is the guy who has most meals made by others. By his third bite in, he stated this turkey dinner was the best he's ever had at a diner! This is the go to guy for many on where to eat. He knows his stuff! He chose the chicken and rice soup that he said was excellent. Fresh home made bread, served hot and whipped butter accompany dinner meals. The bread is that good! I had the half roasted chicken with fresh spinach and this too was exceptional. The chicken was cooked to perfection. I chose the dinner salad and that too was so good. Lettuce with carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes and fresh sprinkled cheese and croutons. So good. Our waiter made the experience that more special. So efficient and kind. I followed his recommendations and am so glad I did. A great tell tale sign of a good diner in the parking lot. We waited for a table to be cleared. When seated in the large dining area, every table was filled. You could tell there were lots of regulars that are known by name. This is a very clean establishment that is nicely decorated. We don't live close to the Westmont Diner but will be visiting on a regular basis. Highly Recommend!!!!“
