“Our server was great! She was very attentive and friendly. Food was good, but not necessarily Wow. The lobster bisque had good flavor but I found it too salty. Same goes for the braised beef rib. Great flavor but salty. Good selection of mocktails - keep them coming! Loved the restaurant's ambiance. Very inviting, comfortable.“
“The new roof top bar is amazing. Great views, excellent service and perfectly decorated. I also saw a motivational speaker, Steve McClatchy, in their upstairs ballroom. Perfect space for a small wedding, rehearsal dinner etc. well laid out with direct strangers right to the space.“
“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.“
“I order takeout from here occasionally, but it's been a while since I've dined there. So I went with some people for lunch one day since we were in the area after a networking event. It wasn't crowded, but felt full with a good number of people having lunch/brunch.The staff were all pretty friendly. We were seated right after walking in and the service was a good pace throughout the entire dining experience. We all ordered something different but seemed to enjoy what we got. One person ordered one of the sandwich specials, another ordered the Mel's Chicken Sandwich and I got the Sante Fe Turkey Burger with sweet potato fries. It was very tasty, filling and served at the right temperature. I also had their Blueberry Lemonade which was really good.As always, a reliable place for a good meal. I recommend coming for brunch or course, but lunch is a good option too.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“As always, the food was excellent. Our waitress was on point. Seeing the antiquity was awesome and it was well maintained.Everyone there, including the customers, were very nice and pleasant. This is why I proposed to wife some years ago, we had our wedding reception there and we make it a habit to go back whenever we can.Parking: Well lit parkig lot on the premises.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to main entrance.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Another wonderful dining experience at the Valley Green Inn. This time my party of four came for Sunday brunch. We were happily surprised with a complementary basket of warm mini muffins. Which went very well with our glasses of very reasonably priced and good dry white. Two of us had the crabcake sandwich with fries which was delicious. my other two dining companions had salads – one a beautiful quinoa, and the other a large salad with chicken, both of which they enjoyed. Now, the service! We were fortunate to get Tristan again as our server. He was a delight as usual with attentive and upbeat service. As I said, a wonderful dining experience – good food, good service, and the beautiful ambience of the Wissahickon . What could be better. “
“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.“
“Excellent food beautifully presented, gorgeous decor, professional service. Four of us went for an office lunch, had a reservation, and were shown right to our table by the gracious host. The decor is mostly beautiful wood, making the acoustics so live however, that the people talking was so loud we had to yell to hear each other. As it emptied out, it got better. Great place to eat, just not a place for peaceful conversation.“
“Went last week and had an amazing experience especially the assistance we received from our waitress and the pastry chef. I had the one of the special entrees of the day- duck breast and since I’m not drinking, their lavender lemonade was both cute and tasty. A little tart, but very lemonadey. My husband got a ton a stuff that I don’t remember, but he enjoyed every drink, appetizer ( it was a tuna bonbon special) and entree. I’ve driven past this place for years, so it was great to finally pop in. Added bonus, located in northwest Philly which is such an amazing part of the city.“
“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.“
“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 recently worked as a photographer at this bar/restaurant space that was being used for a wedding. There is a small space in the back thats great for pictures and small parties. They also have a bar upstairs and ample parking across the street. The appetizers were delicious and creative. Its a nice venue to hold a small event or to have drinks/dinner.“
“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!“
“Food was tasty and a good value. Staff were very nice. Looks can be deceiving when looking at the restaurant from the outside. It looks like the building used to be an old American dinner that’s a little beat up but once you enter you will be greeted by a clean restaurant with clothed tables and chairs. However you can still see some of the old diner inside so it conflicts with the Korean accents. Obviously not a deal breaker but I hope they invest for a modern remodel.“
“The food is incredible. Skip the large plates and get as many of the sharing plates as you can to get the most out of the menu. Food is absolutely incredible. Service is attentive but not overbearing. Lovely. Overall a wonderful experience. Atmosphere is ok. Minimal. But you go for the food, which makes up for whatever the atmosphere lacks.“
“McMenimin's is a terrific, very popular neighborhood bar/restaurant. It can be noisy, but if you sit in the back room, the noise is not too bad. We were there on a weeknight (Tuesday), and yet every table was filled by 7 o'clock. The food is better than one would expect for this kind of place. The fish and chips, chef's salad with portobello mushrooms and plant-based "cheeseburger" were all excellent. And portions were huge. The server was very pleasant. The reasons why this is 4 stars and not 5: No cocktail list at all and just a few not-so-great wines by the glass. And the entrees were served way before we were finished with the appetizers. They must have thought we had to catch a train. If you don't mind being rushed like crazy, then you might give McMenamin's 5 stars.“
“Came here for a Valentine’s Day tasting menu and was blown away. My partner picked the restaurant and I went in blind, knowing nothing. Incredible experience. The food was outstanding and made right in front of us. Max is a wonderful chef who worked magic to provide an incredible tasting menu by himself. Will be going back, and bringing friends.A very clear example of “you get what you pay for”.“

“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 place was very good. This was our first time coming here. We had a very short wait which was a welcome surprise since it was a Saturday around noon. My son had the red velvet pancakes and liked it (he said 4/5). I had the braised beef Benedict and it was awesome. Great flavor and eggs were poached perfectly. Service was definitely 100%. Never waited for anything. You can tell all the people working here care. I highly recommend this place for a great brunch. I will be back for sure!!“
“10/10 - took dietary restrictions very seriously , GM checked in on us. Server was ready with substitutions & to explain the menu. Plan on going back! Great for those with celiac disease or any other food allergies.Dietary restrictions: Celiac disease - many GF optionsVegan and vegetarian options galore“
“We were very excited to try this spot and finally made it on a Saturday to celebrate our anniversary, which I noted when I made the reservation. Overall our experience was good, but not as good as we had hoped. The vibe and decor is absolutely gorgeous (although we do recommend that they dim the picture lights over the art, as it was very bright and reflective). We had the 4 course chef’s menu and every single dish was really beautiful - this was one of the standout elements, as all the plates looked like art themselves. The flavors were not bad but some of the dishes were on the bland side, while others were quite delicious. We started with the hamachi crudo and endive salad - both were okay. Then the crab bisque and charred octopus - the bisque was the winner. For mains we ordered the lamb loin and sea bass. The lamb dish came out first but we waited about 5 minutes for the bass to come, and it seemed as though the lamb was waiting in the kitchen for a while because it was mostly room temperature by the time I started to eat it. The flavors were good but mild. The seabass was delicious. Also really enjoyed the love cake for dessert. So, overall, a 4-course menu for $70 is a great price compared to the individually-priced dishes. While not every dish was amazing, the meal had some high notes and I really appreciated how beautiful they were. I was a little let down by parts of the meal and disappointed they didn’t acknowledge our anniversary, but overall I think this place was worth the visit and I will likely go back to try it again and explore some of the other dishes.“
“If you’re looking for a yummy brunch spot, you found it! You can’t go wrong with any dish you order. It literally all sounds and looks so delicious! I ordered the avocado toast (needed something light) and my husband got a daily special. Everything was so good! I would say go early but I’m not sure that would even help getting you seated faster but definitely plan on a little wait for a table. The bar is first come first serve - we were able to walk in a grab a seat quickly.“
“TIME is one of our favorites in Center City. Perfect spot for a pre concert dinner. Sophia was wonderful. Malbec and Pinot Noir were excellent though a bit warm. We had the deviled eggs, short rib (amazing), salmon, and side of Brussels sprouts. All were delicious. Somewhat disappointed the whipped feta is off the menu. Need more vegetarian dishes.“
“Great breakfast/diner-ish food--I'm partial to the creamed chipped beef. Mostly takeout (few tables), all Styrofoam + plastic--goes with their mostly takeout biz..Orders seem to flow smoothly, prices are better than fair and parking is plentiful.“
“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.“
“last weekend was my first time and I CANT WAIT FOR THE WEEKEND TO ROLL AROUND FOR ROUND TWO! delicious food. amazing service. it’s honestly top tier. thank you!!vegan strawberry and chocolate cake were amazingggg!!! vegan potato salad, mac and cheese and broccoli cheddar soup like WOW!please give 25-45 wait time but it’s worth it!Parking: very easy to park. on the corner on both sides of the street.“
“This place did a brilliant job of having very filling options on the menu that weren’t too heavy or calorie dense. This giant breakfast burrito was mainly filled with eggs and a little bit of refried beans. I left full but not feeling gross, which is a fine line to walk with a breakfast burrito.The lox and bagel was ordered by others at the table and it looked very similar - lots of of greens on the plate but they didn’t skimp on the lox or cream cheese. We all were glad to have picked this spot for our weekend brunch.“
“We love Tank and Libby's! It is a must go-to spot in Drexel Hill. Today, I got chicken and waffle with scrambled eggs. In the past, I've gotten omelets, french toast, burgers, and chicken sandwiches. They are good food, good service, good prices.Parking: Lots of parking.“
“The food is so good. This was my first time trying this place and I will definitely be back regularly. The restaurant is larger than it looks from outside, there is plenty of seating and parking was not a problem. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter and the baklava cheesecake. Do yourself a favor and order 2 of the baklava cheesecakes. I regretted only ordering one when I got home.“
“Every time we come here the food is so good, as is the service— the squash tempura recommended by the waitress was delicious, and we devoured the Nova fries, buffalo cauliflower, and Brussels spouts. The salmon was perfectly cooked, and the roast chicken was amazing. We love coming here!“

“A lovely place for breakfast or lunch. Even though tables can be close the noise level does not distract. Food good but not exceptional. Service this time was unexpectedly inattentive. Once water poured our server was inattentive. We had to pull him over to order. Have been many times before and will certainly come back because of lovely space. However, lunch is not inexpensive so hope things improve in kitchen and on floor.“
“If you have to order just one thing here, definitely get the MASALA CHEESESTEAK! I get it every few weeks, and it's so delicious that I make sure everyone who visits me from out of town tries it. Make sure to ask for it EXTRA SPICY, loaded with peppers, onions, mayo, etc.A true hidden gem, where you can get both late night fast food as well as amazing South Asian cuisine.Service is always quick, and Usman is always very friendly! It's a perfect spot for a late night bite.“
“Vegan vegan vegan. With only one review on here using the word, it's time to draw attention. There are vegan options here. The veggie burger, vegetable wrap, and red pepper hummus with pita are all vegan. Yay! If you're into meat, you've got loads of options. Food spans a cross between gastro pub and dive bar (read: soups, chili, wings, steak tip sandwiches; quesadilla, nachos, and a variety of sandwiches.) Prices are reasonable and sandwiches come with fries or salad. The beer list is pretty long for a neighborhood watering hole. I snagged a pint of a great black lager, and also tried the Fiddlehead white which was nice too. There were about eight brews on draft and double that number in cans and bottles, plus ciders. Sitting under a tree trapped up in fairy lights on the outdoor patio was quite nice. Indoors is dark wood and a long bar and TV screens. Good place for sports fans or biergarten lunchers. Friendly service too. G'ahead, give it a try.“
“IT was a wonderful dinner and the service was great. I had one of the best pork chops I've ever had and everyone enjoyed their meals. We shared a flatbread as an appetizer and it was great as well. We had a great table that was across from the bar and it was just the right volume level for us to talk with each other.“
“We stopped by after the Philly Love Run for a much needed brunch. It wasn’t full and we had a nice table upstairs by the window. The bartender is awesome! He made a perfect spicy Bloody Mary and was funny and helpful. Thanks for making out lunch great!!The menu online isn’t exactly what they have (at least for brunch) but what we had hit the spot. The biscuits and gravy is a huge portion. Served with eggs and delicious crispy potatoes. My friend got the burrito sans tortilla. Also great. So glad we tried this place. Would definitely go back!“
“My friend group chose Harper Garden to be our after bridal shower dinner and drinks destination. Our party of 11 was catered to by Sean our waiter, and I cannot say enough what a good job he did. Throughout the entire night, we never once felt like our large group was a burden, and all of our food was brought out quickly along with our drinks. Our group decided to stick to mostly appetizers and cocktails. The espresso martini was extremely delicious. We also had several people in the group that were gluten-free or not drinking alcohol. They had a wide variety of mocktails as well as gluten-free options for the table. We got muscles, the cheeseboard, fries, buffalo wings, shrimp cocktail and we were not disappointed with any dish. They also had options for a gluten-free bun for the burger on the menu. We sat outside on the patio, which was enclosed and heated. The decorations and lights in the area made it a whimsical evening out. I would absolutely go back to this restaurant for a date night dinner or a cocktail night with friends.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free burger buns, mocktails“
“Ordered randomly through postmates bc of a promo offer they had. omgggg probably best delivery order I've ever received. Everything was fresh even though I ordered late! Made a bowl with herb chicken, rice, mashed potatoes, and an apple Kale salad. Also got mac and cheese and the 2 desserts. I was surprised that I liked everything. Hoping they open more locations not just in the city!“
“Every course was tasty and had the character of satisfying your appetite without feeling stuffed. The walnut and apple salad and blackened salmon were really great paring with a nice glass of wine and the gelato desert was fantastic. The space and crowd was as energetic as the service. I also learned a new vocabulary word, which was the meaning of "Libertine" and the inspiration for the restaurant's theme. Very funky. lots of fun. Not a quiet place, but still would recommend and I hope to go back.“
“This small restaurant is a deceivingly good place for some high quality seafood. The drinks were great, the food was delicious, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. If you’re in the area, it’s a little off the “main strip” of restaurants but totally worth trying!“
