“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.“
“Fantastic experience. The service was top notch. Jeremy was our waiter and his kind, warm, and friendly demeanor made me feel right at home! The food was great as well and I really enjoyed my cocktail, El Toro. The food was great and biscuits they give you before your meal were to die for!“
“Everything was OUTSTANDING.FOOD 10/10 starter - main platter - dessertSERVICE 10/10 super nice people and also they brought us a candle and a little cake four our anniversary :).This is something else in the area, by faaaar the best place that I ever been 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!!“
“Vegetarian options: Very few vegetarian dishes, but I knew that going in. It's a Southern inspired restaurant with a heavy focus on meat and seafood dishes - ribs, chicken, short rib, crawfish, shrimp, etc. I made it work and was not the least bit disappointed. The service was excellent and the drinks were delicious. The blue cheese stuffed olives in the martini were incredible.“
“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.“
“Food... Amazing!! Service... Fantastic!! Atmosphere... Cozy!!I highly recommend this restaurant. I enjoy the delicious food (especially the Salmon Freekah Salad and Pistachio Sticky Bun) and the Brown Butter Artichoke Borekas are everything!!! After a year of coming here, I've tried nearly everything on the menu ? Owner, Chef Mike Solomonov is incredibly generous!!!“
“Food was delicious! I moved out of town. Came back for a visit. Down Home Diner did not disappoint.There no place like Philly when it comes to good food.Sorry, I'm partial to my home town ✔️Food was so good we forgot to get a good photo (my bad)“
“Everything about Laurel is outstanding. From the care of the server to the magnificent bursts of flavor each morsel of food brought to my mouth. There have been only two restaurants that have wowed my taste buds in recent years and both are creations of Nicholas Elmi!“
“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.“
“If you're a cheesesteak aficionado like me, then this spot is a must-visit! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality, setting the tone for an exceptional dining experience. First off, let's talk about the star of the show - the cheesesteak itself. It's evident that they take pride in using only the freshest ingredients, with the steak never seeing the inside of a freezer. The soft sesame seed wedge perfectly complements the juicy, flavorful meat. And speaking of meat, they don't skimp on quality here. Wagyu, rib eye, and NY strip - need I say more? Each bite is a savory symphony of premium beef. What truly sets this place apart is their commitment to cooking each cheesesteak to order. No dried-out meat sitting on the side of the grill here. Every sandwich is crafted with care, ensuring maximum freshness and flavor. Now, I'll admit, the price may be a tad higher than your average cheesesteak joint, but trust me, it's worth every penny. You're paying for top-notch ingredients and impeccable craftsmanship. And the customer service was on point! From the friendly greeting at the door to the attentive staff throughout our meal, they made us feel like valued guests. If you're in downtown Philly craving a cheesesteak experience that's a cut above the rest, look no further. This place delivers on quality, flavor, and hospitality. Can't wait to come back for more!!“

“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!!!“
“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.“
“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.“
“Food was so great - we ordered the blue crab fries, salmon, short rib, and shrimp scampi. Our server was so friendly and attentive. The restaurant was cozy and had such a cool design. Would like to go back and sit on the bar side or the patio!“
“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“
“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.“
“I’ve been here for brunch and happy hour. Great breakfast menu and the food is spectacular. The rooftop is a must see. The only issue is that you have to go all the way to the basement to use the restroom and you aren’t able to take the stairs to exit out the first floor. The happy hour food is great, but the drink offerings and discounts are thin. Something to be aware of: the “dirty double” martini is not actually a double, so that’s kind of misleading. Service and food are great though, so I definitely still recommend checking this place out!“
“Ok----Food is yummy...Beverage options are endless....Vibe is epic...Service is off the charts!!!But hands down..The staff is BEYOND FABULOUS!!!!Izyah took amazing care of us at the table and I must give aHuge shout-out to DANA!!She is a treasure!!She has her finger on the pulse of everything in the enormous space and makes sure it runs smoothly.What a happy place!Thank you!!“
“We've been here several times since it opened, and have experienced good service and food each time. Several of the dishes have been on the menu each time, but some have been tweaked with different ingredients, making them a little different (even though the original was already worth trying again). The "Brown Butter" dessert, the name of which sounded rather unappetizing on our first visit, turned out to be one of the highlights. Definitely try it. Prices are also reasonable, for a more upscale establishment.Kid-friendliness: It's a quiet, intimate environment. Go for a date night and leave the kids with a sitter.“
“Had not eaten the food, so I can't comment. But having worked as a fine dining bartender in Los Angeles, I was blown away by their cocktails. Their menu made the mixology need in me geek out. My friend and I went there for a quick drink between movies on Christmas day. And we were very pleased with the experience.“
“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.“
“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!“
“Finally got to try out Friday Saturday Sunday and overall had a good time, but wasn't blown away. Service was solid throughout and the drinks we tried were all tasty. My issue is that, when compared with other similar multi course options in Philly at the same price range, I wasn't impressed with the food. Everything was prepared perfectly fine, but overall dishes were either on the blander side (such as the fish and desserts) or odd (such as the sweetbread). The tortellini was fantastic though and a standout.Would I come back? Sure, if friends wanted to go. But there are other prix fixe restaurants I prefer in Philly at the moment.“
“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.“
“Hands down one of the best Avacodo toasts I have ever enjoyed! Complete with 15 aged balsamic drizzle. Very good with with food allergies as well! The kitchen and staff are all trained! Safe place to dine with a milk and tree nut allergy in my opinion!Dietary restrictions: To restaurant chain is VERY well versed when it comes to food allergies ! From kitchen to wait staff! Always been safe with my milk and tree nut allergy!Parking: On busy dinner hours from 6-8pm parking is difficult.“
“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 :)“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“On Point was very on point with our brunch. It's a BYOB spot in heart of Point Breeze with some great flavors and vibes. The group sampled quite a few starters including wings and cheesesteak egg rolls. For the main meal I had to go with the Challah French Toast. Unique flavor especially with the cheese and nuts. The group really enjoyed all the food. Our server TJ was also awesome. Made some great suggestions. Catch me back at on point in the summer.“
“Loved the service and the food! We had GF linguine with clams - clams were nice and tender( not overcooked like other places), Eggplant parm with spaghetti-eggplant parm was amazing - n tender, and chicken parm- excellent!Can't wait to go back to try their calamari. Lots of Vegan options too .Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian and vegan options. GF linguine is available on request.“
“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.“
“Stopped in Fireside Family Resturant around 930 AM on a Monday. Place was about 15% full. The hostess seated me and asked if I wanted anything to drink, and by the time I got settled in my chair, my water and coffee (2.99) arrived. I ordered the Creamed chipped beef on rye toast and hash browns (11.99) from my very pleasant waitress. A very full plate of food arrived fairly quickly. I was a little disappointed with the food. First, the good things, the cream was the perfect taste and consistency over the diced up rye toast, so the toast doesn't get soggy, but there was a serious lack of chipped beef. I literally got 1/3 of the way through before I tasted some meat. Only had a small amount of the potatoes and they were OK. Staff was very attentive in keeping my coffee topped off. Overall a decent meal, except for the lack of chipped beef in the mix.Parking: Parking around the building“
“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.“
“We made a reservation at Mish Mish but there was some unorganized pop up bar there that night so we found this gem across the street from them. The food was great and the staff were very friendly and attentive. I had the surf and turf. No actual lobster but lobster sauce drizzled over steak which wasn’t bad for the price point.“
“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!“
“Had a smaller menu than most, but options were excellent and delicious! Had Large and fluffy pancakes and the order of the almond crunch French toast -- both were very rich and a sweet breakfast. Favorite was the shakshuka -- savory, tasty, and flavorful breakfast with two thick hash browns.“
“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.“
“This was my first experience at Kick Axe. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there from the moment we walked in. I was surprised how good the food was, but I was even more surprised with the service from our bartender, Arielle. She made me the best tropical drink I've had in years, I think it's called a painkiller. The axe throwing was great. Everyone in my party had a great time. Thank you Kick Axe, and thank you Arielle!“
“We were recommended this play by a walking tour guide and it is really good. Great choice of food and drinks (beer flights which were fun) and the staff are really friendly and attentive. You have to try the tator tots, they’re delicious!“
“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!“
“I'll admit I was not going to give this place a try, litterally road pass it for years. One night a family member one wanted "hotcakes" and bacon and said this place was good. I was hesitant but decided to give it a try. Well let me tell you!!! I AM SOOOOO GLAD I DID!! THEIR FOOD IS SOOO DELICIOUS! I have been to many of the most expensive Steakhouses and upscale restaurants in PA and the surrounding areas/states. Their food is just as TASTY. Try their fresh beef Burgers! Cooked how you like. I did and I'm in love! I was impressed! I now have a new food spot. I would share about the other foods I ate while there too but if I tell you then it won't be enough for me when I go! Lol just know you will not be disappointed. Sorry no pics I gobbled EVERYTHING UP!“
“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!“
“Everything was excellent! We ordered wings as a starter. They came out crispy with a delicious dry rub, just the way I like it. My breakfast sandwich with the brioche bun hit the spot. The smashed fingerling potatoes were cooked perfectly. Joe, our server, was attentive, patient, and super friendly. The restaurant has a cozy vibe with a fireplace. We had a wonderful time, and would definitely return.“
“One of our favorite restaurants ❣️ Always great & different daily specials which are very delicious ?. Many fabulous choices on regular menu ❣️. Service is amazing and very pleasant as well❣️❣️❣️ Always an awesome & enjoyable time ?“
“Their biscuits are the best I’ve ever had in Jersey. They remind me of the ones we get down in OBX.Great food, my only complaint was that their loaded breakfast fries were really salty. If I could make one suggestion on that dish, keep a batch of unsalted fries to the side just for when people order that dish, the gravy they put on them has plenty of flavor already.As far as value goes, my wife and I are eaters and we both couldn’t finish our dishes. So the price isn’t bad considering you will get two meals out of it. Can’t wait to go back again.“
“This place just opened by my house and I’ve visited a few times so far, I think the food is pretty good but they are very inconsistent. I always order the same thing but it always comes differently, sometimes white rice sometimes yellow, sometimes they give you salsa sometimes they don’“
