“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!💖“

“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.“

They were all very responsive, helpful and accommodating! The day of staff was simply amazing. I did not worry about a thing! The cocktail hour was the best!! My guests are still talking about it!

“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.“

“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.“

“Cookie dough French toast was out of this world!!! Definitely recommend!!!!“

“Great place to get something to eat. Service is excellent. The food is excellent .“

“Great food and great service“

“shrimp an grits homefried“

“Excellent food quality, I tried the “New Bedford Scallop & Shrimp Risotto”, slightly hearty portion, very high quality on the palate and at the same time you can taste the flavors of the natural raw material without being “dirty” with seasonings or anything unnecessary. Cost in the American average of restaurants (the real ones), 35$ risotto. Exorbitant espresso cost, very long but not bad, $6“

“Everything was wonderful for my Birthday. Service was really on point.“

“I had a great experience with the server franky. She is absolutely amazing she made me feel so welcomed and comfortable I was trying to boost my spirits and she did exactly that. The service was amazing she was fast with bringing out our food and drinks she reasured us about everything that was going on and I honestly think that she is a genuine waitress I give her a 20 out of 10 I would actually come back here again all just because of her service so I honestly feel as though you guys should be greatful to have someone that actually cares for the customers and building a bond with us she honestly deserves a raise so yup thanks for hiring Franky ❤❤❤“

“Fantastic food, great local regulars and wonderful owners! Very welcoming.“

“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!“

“Came in from traveling - they found me and my wife and my 4 children comfortable seating. Fast friendly service. She came over multiple times to check in. When the kids were super load, she was quick to say it was ok and they were not bothering anyone. The ambiance was very inviting and the food was beyond delicious - plentiful portions. My 7 year old said it best - A 11 out of 11!!!! Shout out to Taylor who was beyond lovely. Will 1000 percent be back again.“

“I love this place. They have some of the freshest distinct cocktail that I’ve seen that hasn’t been from a fancy spot or a speakeasy. They usually have a special and or some fresh fish. Backdoor pizza is also outback🤫. Only drawback is whenever me and my lady come in one female barkeep seems to purposely avoid greeting us or serving us. We sit at the bar and she’ll stay away like she playing defense for Manchester United and then when one of her co workers takes care of us she speak to any new patrons that come in and sit near us. Not sure what that could be but otherwise 5 ⭐️’s.“

“We had foodwerx cater our son's rehearsal dinner in Cape May. They did an excellent job all around. The food was delicious and beautifully displayed, Shirley and Tianna were helpful, prompt and thorough. Jen was also helpful with our decision making process. I was pleased with their attention to detail from start to finish. Thank you team for making the event wonderful!“

“Pancakes were THICK and huge. Food was delicious! Waffle was also tasty.“

“Wonderful Valentine’s dinner!“

“I love the milkshakes-I go there to relax with a delicious milkshake-the staff are so friendly-if you love milkshakes-you will never find a better shake than Nifty Fifty’s 😋“
