“The appetizers are wonderful, the rack of lamb is outstanding! The staff is welcoming and friendly. This is my favorite restaurant. Thank you, Al Dar's!Vegetarian options: Both of my adult children and one of their 11 year old children are vegetarians. They were delighted to have so many choices.Parking: No problem, there is plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: My children and grandchildren love it here! The last time they were here from Boston and NC, there were 10 of us, from 1 1/2 years old to 81 years young. We had a great time.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps, and most tables are large enough to accomodate a wheelchair.“
“Update April 2023Still an unbelievable spot for amazing food!! Their chicken parm is so dang good. And they have so many great sides like Mac n cheese, vegetables, etc. quality is excellent. The staff is meticulous in serving you.We did take out for a large party and they had everything ready when promised.Food was amazing. You must try the turkey breast with gravy. Yum!——-I know people rave about their crab cakes and believe me, they are unrivaled. But the onion rings are my absolute favorite thing there. Giant with double thick panko crust (all their breaded items are double dipped)We have eaten just about everything on the menu over the years. Even their rotisserie chicken is so good and waaaay better than a super market.“
“Every dish was incredible. Just what we were looking for. My husband had the oysters and the scallops, I had the ceviche and sea bass. All fantastic. Impeccable service. Fun to eat at the open kitchen counter and watch the cools do their thing. I'd visit again.“
“Food and drinks are fantastic, service was friendly and attentive. Slightly slow and slightly overpriced though.. but still gonna come back for round 3! Loved The entrees in the new updated menu!Dietary restrictions: All servers asked about restrictions prior to service“
“Took my wife here during a conference trip to have a nice lunch and I must say the overall experience did not disappoint. We ordered an assortment of different oysters to start with. Sampling the flavor profile of each oyster was not only delicious but extremely fun as a couple. After oysters and wine, my wife ordered the lobster roll and I had the house clam chowder. The lobster was perfectly cooked and the position size was double that of the perfectly toasted and buttery brioche bread it was on. The fries were homemade and very good. I will say that they could have double fried them to make them a bit more crispy but overall very good. The clam chowder was very rich with smoke amounts of bacon, the smokey flavor from the bacon was a nice addition. The waiter was very attentive and took the time to engage and make a human connection, which is much appreciated. Overall, great experience and I would return here in the future.“
“I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at this restaurant - it exceeded my expectations!Located in the heart of center city, the restaurant boasts a spacious interior with a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it perfect for families, couples, or friends.The menu features classic Greek dishes, and I thoroughly enjoyed everything I tried. The saganaki appetizer was a delightful start, and the moussaka entree was incredibly flavorful.The service was excellent - the staff were attentive and perfectly timed with their service.I will definitely be returning whenever I'm in the mood for Greek cuisine in the city. Oh, and don't forget to check out the spacious and beautiful bathroom too!“
“Everything is perfect. Foods delicious, servers are kind, atmosphere is beautiful. If you want to try Turkish cuisine, you should try here. I had mixed grill. Lamb sish and chicken sish were so soft and juicy. Rice was really good with döner.As a starter Arnavut ciğeri, ezme and cheese rolls were amazing.For desert I can definitely recommend Kunefe.You won’t regret.“
“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.“
“Very small intimate space with the open kitchen directly on the floor. Had an incredible experience here! The staff was super friendly and bantered with us all night. The stand out to me was the scallop toast, it practically melts in your mouth. Though everything we had was excellent flavor and presentation wise. I will absolutely be back!“
“We had the best service with Kate! She gave us tips on what to order and ahead of time was dead on. We started with a cocktail and had a glass of wine with dinner. We split the spicy chicken empanadas, delicious, however, we did not detect the spice. We split the green chili Caesar. Honestly, the best Caesar in town. I do t see how they get it so cold and crisp, it's amazing! We then each had a ceviche. The baby shrimp, which were much bigger than anticipated, such wonderful flavor! My daughter had the crab, the server suggested mixing it right away to get the sauce mixed in. Very good! It did need more liquid. We simply poured the extra shrimp sauce in the crab, it was superb after that. The tomato on the shrimp just gives it more moisture and such a good flavor! We can't wait to go back!“
“What a wonderful experience we had here. We had a reservation at 8:30pm, luckily for us we were the only ones eating at that time for the omakase. The chef was able to make all the sushi and serve us quickly, which was nice. All the fish was fresh and tasted delicious ?. Kimchi Omakase is truly a gem for the price. I will be back, I recommend you give them a try.“
“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.“
“Really great. I had the Chongqing spicy broth, wagyu, head on prawns, scallops, and lamb as my meats and went crazy in the self serve area. Great quality meats and vegetable selection. Broth was good, service was good. I had to wait for about 1 hour because you cannot make a reservation for a 2 top, but it was well worth it. I left completely satisfied for 40 dollars plus tax, no uncharged. Highly recommended.“
“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.“
“An amazing experience from end to end!I'll be honest, I had mixed feelings about the pre fixe menu. I loved the idea of checking my stomach at the door and allowing the chef to do their thing. On the other hand, would I like it? Would it meet my growing expectations on FSS?The answer was, in spite of significant hype and exceedingly high expectations, absolutely amazing. The only things you need to think about with regards to FSS is when you'd want to make a reservation and what cocktail(s) you might want along with your meal!“
“Considering I studied abroad in Italy and lived there as a 16 year old, I know Italian when I see it.At Spasso’s, it’s exactly that. From the Service to the food to the atmosphere. The food was everything Italian. The sauces were blended with home grown Italian spices and the calamari was as fresh a crisp as can be.The Seafood pasta that had can with a red blush sauce. The fresh seafood stood out amongst the sauce although it was very well seasoned.Not to mention, the bread, just like Italy. From the wooden floors to the dim lighting, I thought I had took a trip to Europe and landed in Italy.Spasso’s, try it for yourself!“
“I saw this place on social media so wanted to check it out. You have an amazing idea here. I thought the Z thing was only for the menu but they have their employees substituting Z’s for everything. It’s funny, it’s an experience. Great customer service IMO.Y’all need to update your address or business page on google maps, this location shows one place. I saw another location on your website, this review is for the truck at 3400 Fox St. I’m not even sure what this business page address is for. Maybe this is an old location?Onto the chicken cheesesteak. I got one with fried chicken tenders inside, lettuce, and I think they put some kind of hot sauce as well. The bread this comes on is incredible. If you want anything HEALTHY, DO NOT come here, I’m reading that it’s deep fried bread. Whatever they do to it, I could’ve ate it alone. The fried chicken inside is seasoned well. It’s kinda too much and falls apart as a result but who cares, eat some first with a fork then eat the rest. I got fries here but they were just okay. I want to come back and try something else.“
“Srinagar has the best samosa chaat in the area. Their takeout packaging is careful and food is kept in a double layered thick brown bag so you don't have to worry about a spill. And if you're lucky, you might just find a surprise complementary dessert in it.“
“Alpenrose in Philadelphia is an absolute delight! From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a cozy Alpine retreat. The menu is a culinary journey through the Alps, featuring hearty and delicious dishes that warm the soul. Whether you're indulging in their famous fondue, savoring a perfectly cooked schnitzel, or enjoying one of their delectable desserts, each bite is a taste of Alpine perfection. The ambiance is charming and welcoming, with rustic decor and attentive staff that make you feel right at home. Plus, the extensive beer and wine selection perfectly complements the meal. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving authentic Alpine cuisine, Alpenrose is the perfect destination for a memorable dining experience“
“I went here with 2 of my friends for the first time for their Happy Hour (4-7 pm). We arrived early and was seated right away. Our server Jasmine was very nice. She made great food recommendations. Drinks were delicious and so were the items for Happy Hour. We will definitely go here again. Love this place again.“
“Incredible night at DePaul's Table. The food and service were impeccable from the Bone Marrow Appetizer to the Shell Fish Tower and the 22 oz Dry Aged Delmonico Steak. The pictures don't justify the experience. Anthony and Kevin, thank you for a great night. We will be back.“
“For someone who never leaves reviews, I HAVE TO with this place. For starters, our waiter Matthew (Matt) was so fun and comfortable. Loved every second of his atmosphere. SECONDLY, the food was to die for. The kona rub steak has been on my mind since I ate it. Price was phenomenal when you get a beautiful seat, amazing food, and fun energy. 10/10 RECOMMEND“
“THIS is the place to be.What a wonderfully warm and friendly atmosphere, from the hostess to the servers to the other guests. Cute decor with a lot of tables that are in close proximity to one another.THIS is the place to eat.OHHH-EMMM-GEEE the food is incredibly delicious. The portions are generous. The menu selections are great and it’s difficult to choose - and then they have daily specials, which makes it even harder because you want to try it ALL!CASH only- no cards accepted.BYOB and the staff will gladly provide the appropriate glassware.Scannicchio’s is a family place…..the employees are all family and when you’re there you feel like family. MY family, we LOVE Scannicchio’s! It’s our family tradition. La mia famiglia. Mangia bene.Parking: Parking is where we you find a spot! Usually a spot can be found on Broad Street.“
“My boyfriend took me here on a surprise date night! The service was absolutely out of this world. They were very attentive to us and what we needed and not a single mistake was made. The food was made perfectly and I’m proud to say I tried new foods, and I throughly enjoyed it. I felt underdressed due to the attire of the other customers, but our waiter reassured us that we were fine. As Long as you don’t come in looking like you rolled out of bed, you’re dressed up enough to come here!“

“great food and drinks! service was good as well! a little pricey tho! we spent over $250 for 2 people so keep that in mind!Parking: the restaurant is under the hotel so you use hotel parking and if its busy or the hotels booked up you might have to park far and walk a little. there is valet service though but it is not free!“
“This place is just recently opened and received pretty good reviews, so I decided to try it out.everything we ordered was tasty with a generous portions, but the flavor was just too sweet for me and my boyfriend. I know Thai food is sweet, but this is another level of sweet. And the coconut noodle soup, it has no flavor and tasted so coconuty. It would have been better if they use rice noodle or glass noodle instead of vermicelli noodle.The ambience is plain, but it looks new and clean. The color of the building looks unattractive in my opinion.Service is good, but it takes awhile for the food to come out. They seem to be more busy with takeout orders.Overall, a decent Thai food with good portion and reasonable price. Tip: pay in CASH, you’ll get 5% off and they also accept Venmo.“
“The Rittenhouse Grill is was truly elegant and romantic. Live piano set the mood. Beautiful ambient lighting. Not to loud to converse. Our table order Ribeye steak (12 oz) Jumbo Lump Crab cake. Our sides were sautéed mushrooms, creamed spinach, roasted brussel sprouts and Corn. Just wonderful and delicious. Drinks were always filled up! Loved the excellent service and the kindness from the waiters and servers. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who loves elegant fine dining experience.“
“Nestled in the vibrant streets of Philadelphia, Charlie Was A Sinner. is a haven for those seeking a culinary experience that transcends expectations. With its inviting ambiance and innovative plant-based cuisine, this restaurant captivates the senses and leaves a lasting impression.Let's dive into the star of the show: the food. Each dish at Charlie Was A Sinner. is a work of art, meticulously crafted to delight even the most discerning palate. From the first bite to the last, every flavor sings in perfect harmony, showcasing the creativity and skill of the culinary team.However, I must address a notable aspect of our dining experience—the service. While the staff was friendly and accommodating, there were some shortcomings that impacted the overall enjoyment of our meal. In particular, our server seemed lacking in knowledge of the menu, unable to provide accurate information about certain dishes' ingredients. This became especially problematic when attempting to accommodate dietary restrictions at our table. Rather than consulting the chef or kitchen staff for clarification, our server seemed uncertain and unable to provide the necessary assistance.Despite this hiccup, I must commend the kitchen for their flexibility and willingness to accommodate our dietary needs once the issue was brought to their attention. Their dedication to ensuring a positive dining experience did not go unnoticed and ultimately salvaged what could have been a disappointing situation.In conclusion, while Charlie Was A Sinner. excels in its culinary offerings, there is room for improvement in the realm of service, particularly in staff knowledge and communication. Nonetheless, I remain impressed by the restaurant's commitment to delivering exceptional plant-based cuisine and look forward to returning for another memorable dining experience.“
“had dinner with family tonight. My Po-Boy was outstanding. I appreciated the fries which were crispy (I prefer fries which break when folded) We also had fried shrimp, and a shrimp/clam platter. We left very satisfied, and hope to come back some time“
“We got the mixed grill to share between 3 people and had more than enough food. I liked the chicken skewers and meatballs the best. This was the perfect choice to try a little bit of everything. We added a side of fries and they were perfectly crispy. I would definitely come back!“
“One of the best and authentic Indonesian restaurants in the states. The other one is in Atlanta GA. As a native Indo, I highly recommend this place. Service was good. Space is quite tight but expected for Philly. Food is so good. So good. Get the ketoprak, Satay ayam/ grilled skewered chicken with special peanut sauce, for sure. We drove 9 hrs one way and it was worth it. Makasih banyak mbak2.“
Sushi • $$
“Food quality and value was good. Restaurant had a high end feel. Only minor negative was when we arrived 90% of the restaurant was empty and we were told to sit at the sushi bar because they were expecting a wave of reservations. However by the time we finished our meal the restaurant was 80% empty so we definitely could have sat at a table. The menu has a lot of good options so we will definitely return.“
“Such a cute little place!! Got the salt & pepper shrimp w/ rice, shrimp & pork dumplings, and lobster summer rolls. The cashier was soooo sweet and brought our food out to us. It was delicious. HAD to get more dumplings to go!! These pics don't do any justice“
“The interior looks “original” and the food taste great and fresh!! I understand the pan that my baked clams were baked on is the original pan made in the 60’s! AMAZING! I had a Patron Margarita which wash refreshingly flavorful and I will be back for another!! I had the Baked Clams, Stuffed Mushrooms, and the Lobster Tail entree with Garlic & Oil Pasta. All were DELICIOUS! Thank You Tony and Team! McKenna was the best!Kid-friendliness: Multiple families were seated.“
“Went to SkyHigh to celebrate a friend's birthday. She was so surprised at the choice. The lunch selection was wonderful. We both ordered the cod which was prepared and presented well. The apple pie with pecan ice cream we ordered for dessert was delicious. Loved the crust - light and flaky. The ambiance and view of the city was spectacular. Table Service by Alecia was attentive. Definitely a place to visit again.“
“I know seafood establishments are popping up all over the place now, and I can say I think I've just about tried every one of them. I must say this has been one of the best ones that I've had thus far. The crabs' legs were fresh, the shrimp was a nice size and not overcooked ?, the broccoli was nice and crisp, the corn was amazing, the potatoes was just right and the overall seasoning was perfect ??. And the customer service was excellent. Will definitely recommend this restaurant as one of the best seafood spots in Philly. Hat's off to the cook, owner, and staff.“
“This was our second time at Max's Seafood and we really enjoyed our food both times. Delicious Oysters. The Chilean Sea Bass was so yummy the first time, I got it again. It did not disappoint! We tried dessert this time and the Creme Brulee and Key Lime Pie hit the spot. The Key Lime Pie had pistachios in the graham cracker crust. A very nice surprise ?? Also, you can order a bottle of wine here and it will not break the bank. Check it out! I highly recommend it.“

“Honestly this is the best restaurant in Manayunk......this Ekta location is the definition of 'consistency' ... friendly, welcoming service and the food is always on point..... consistently great. Nothing on Main St or Ridge Ave compares .“
“For the second year in a row, we hosted our family reunion dinner for 30 people in the China Wok's lovely event room on a Saturday evening. Everything was perfect due to owner Lin's attention to detail. She met in advance with me to plan the menu, taking into consideration our budget, dietary preferences, and the mixed age group of 2 months to 97 years. The decor was pretty, the servers were pleasant and helpful, our guests loved the food! The platters came out looking as visually pleasing as they were tasty. Nothing was too much trouble for Lin! We are grateful to the China Wok for the special time we shared with our family there.“
“Delish food - n of 3 times been so far and every time has been on point. Prices are definitely respectable (except $4 for extra pico) and the servers have always treated us nicely. Definitely recommend for Cantina food in the middle of Philly.“
“5 star staff, food, atmosphere, prices, location? Can’t say enough good things about this place!! We were greeted with a huge warm welcome, treated like vegan royalty, and ended the night with a hot green tea - a great touch. What a great experience.Dietary restrictions: Vegan friendly“
“We celebrated my sister in laws birthday here and the night could not have been more perfect! The ambiance was quaint and the staff was attentive. The chicken parm rose was crispy and juicy and the rose sauce was delicious. I cannot say enough great things about the meal, service, and atmosphere. I would highly recommend this place for date night or to host any small events!“
“I love going to Savona. It's a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our server was so helpful in choosing wine and food. Everyone was very friendly and helpful; especially the valets. The food and wine were delicious. If I could afford to come weekly I would.“
“I eat their food several times a month and I am never disappointed. My favorite, their yams are fresh and always delicious. They have Wednesday shrimp special. Today I am raving about the cabbage. Most of all, hats off to the staff, especially Marsha and Rhonda... wonderful, wonderful,and of course, Brian! You cannot go wrong patronizing this business!!!“
“Food was incredible, the atmosphere was lively and warm. I felt the service was super, helping me understand the menu and giving me tips with what I should order. This is the best Chinese food I've ever had, hands down. The winter melon tea is delectable btw“
“We just had our daughter's 1st Birthday/Baptism lunch celebration. We had the restaurant to ourselves and everything went so well. They were super nice and accommodating and my guest enjoyed the food. Even my friend who decorated said she would keep them in mind to recommend to clients seeking a event location. Nicole was awsome!“
“I love this place bec they promote people to dance, even if a person has 3 left feet & they offer lessons! I sometimes feel intimidated bec everyone is so good on their feet! The professional couples that dance make it look awesome! They make you want to learn & they look so romantic!The food is what it is! They don't do fine dining & that's OK! The food is secondary for The Crab Tavern as it should be! This venue knows what works for them! My hats are off to them! The part to them focusing on the dancing, most songs they play are geared to folks wanting to dance & most of the time the floor always has people dancing! It's not like a regular club where the dance floor stays empty! Or worse yet, there are only females dancing by themselves! I'm not saying I don't understand why they do that! At a regular club, the females dance with each other bec the men are intimidated or don't know how to dance!Or they need a couple of drinks to loosen them up!“
“I have been to other Luke’s lobster location, this one is paritcularly spacious and food quality is consistent. I got the warm lobster roll, spicy honey lobster roll, and lobster mac.Most of the rolls are cold, so it is nice to try the warm lobster roll and have to order one of my favorites – spicy honey lobster roll as well. Lobster Mac on the other hand is alright, the pasta they used is quite unique but flavor wise is just okay, and not a huge fan of the breadcrumbs on top.“
“Food was delicious aw always. I took a friend to the the restaurant for her birthday and she loved everything we ordered . Our waitress Dominique was phenomenal. Dominque was very knowledgeable about the our food choices and very charismatic.“
