“Delicious food, beautiful scenery, very friendly staff.“

“Very nice and clean cafe. Fantastic food and great price. Highly recommend“

“Longhorn’s on City Avenue is always crowded. Last time I was there…late night…the people looked liked Walmart people…I saw Daisy dukes…a young boy with a button down shirt open like he was Don Juan and weird looking people with triple stomachs in tight clothing who didn’t own a mirror. The food was good…service eh…they seemed really busy…I will opt for an earlier time..this isn’t Steak48 for sure…but the bill will be one third of it.“

“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.“

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

“atmosphere, service, food-all incredible. Heck I ate here when I was visiting Philly and the meal was so inspiring I moved here. None of this fake trained service, no obnoxiously complicated explanations of the chef or the food, just genuinely kind people serving genuinely good food that doesn’t hide behind any smoke and mirrors. If you haven’t had an amazing time here it’s probably cause you’re not much fun to begin with. Get here, order one of everything, enjoy it, you’ll fall in love.“

“Shrimp and grits is amazing if I were home I would be licking the bowl. Bartender Kelsey was fantastic and very welcoming. Avocado toast is the best I have ever had.“

“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“

“Do yourself a favor. Go to Bad Brother and order the ribeye! This steak was superb. Perfectly cooked, great presentation, mildly smokey. I can go on and on! The atmosphere at Bad Brother is comfortable and welcoming. It feels like you're dining at a friend's house. As I said, do yourself a favor. You'll thank me later!!“

“The heart of Conshohocken.“

“Best cheesesteak I’ve had. Owner came around with extras from his dinner he’d made for his wife and shared it with the customers. That was also delicious, but the cheesesteak was better :) Absolutely recommend!“

“Killer food. Our group had the roast pork sandwich, roast beef sandwich, spaghetti and meatballs and Triangle burger. All were delicious. Such a cool space too!“

“Recently tried DOHO when when trying to order tacos from our usual places on Cinco de Mayo but the kids didn't want to wait 2+ hours and couldn't have been more impressed with this new hidden gem in Mt. Airy. Creative dishes and everything we ordered was delicious. Only tried about half the options between our family of 5 so definitely need to order again soon!“

“Love it and it’s eagles central“

“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!💖“

“Amazing“

“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.“

“I tried Dig Inn for the first time last week and I’m back already and to my surprise the food quality is consistent. Everything is fresh, hot, and doesn’t give that I’ve been sitting out all day vibe. They have an open kitchen concept so your can literally see your food being made. And shout out to Chef AJ; super pleasant, great hospitality and you can tell she knows he stuff.“

“Amazing pastries and coffee! Came in for a quick bfast and enjoyed lots of new flavors.“

“I have been a Mac Mart customer since they originally opened on 18th street. Their Barclay Basil Pesto Chicken dish is my kryptonite!
Just wanted to let everyone know who comes across their listing on Google Maps that the pin location is still incorrect. They are now located at a kiosk near 18th and Arch (the address in the listing is correct, just the pin is wrong).
Don't want to miss this place!“

(Edamame, shrimp pad thai, chicken lettuce wraps, chicken satay, and brussel sprouts) After dinner we went up to the roof top which was the perfect ambiance for a girls night out… drinking espresso martinis and enjoying the weather. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“Great service, food and drinks. Dylan was our bartender and server. On point with everything, friendly and accommodating. We will be back!“

“The shrimp smd the crab devil eggs was delicious 😋“

“It's hard not to enjoy the ambiance at La Croix overlooking Rittenhouse Square while in the background, there is live violin music. The Sunday brunch was enjoyable. We started with the devilled eggs, which had a unique, enjoyable undertone of saffron. Everyone at our table enjoyed their entrees, although I thought the hash brown in my Lobster hash brown was oily and flavorless. I think they missed the mark on dessert with the only true dessert option being a "make your own sundae". As it's a brand new brunch menu, I'm sure the kinks will be worked out. We would return!“

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