“We hosted my sister’s baby shower at Keya Graves Events, and I cannot say enough good things about it! The whole process was smooth and stress-free, booking was easy, communication was clear, and the staff was so accommodating.

We chose the soul food buffet, and it was worth every single cent. Everything was seasoned to perfection, but those beef ribs we added? BABYYY, they were thee best! Tender, flavorful, and a total crowd favorite. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the food.

The banquet servers were professional, attentive, and made sure every guest was taken care of. The space itself was beautiful and spacious, the perfect backdrop for such a special day.

“Our first experience at a James Beard award winning restaurant (2017) and chef was incredible at Vernick Fish in Philadelphia to celebrate Trent’s graduation! I know now what this caliber of food and service means and all other restaurants pale in comparison to Vernick Fish and Greg Vernick(semi-finalist chef 2025). From the appetizers (dozen oysters from RI, MA, ME, PEI) to the drinks and main course were all uniquely exquisite and cannot be replicated anywhere else. The constant doting with new silverware at each course and cleaning of the table was undeniably royalty treatment. Even the bathroom was an experience-I need the hand lotion in my life (instantly made my hands look 30 years younger). The portions, ambiance and service were all equally perfect! I highly recommend you check out Vernick Fish. We will definitely return!“

“I had snapper soup there. It was an 11 out of a possible 10. My wife had New England clam chowder it is (her score system) a 10 out of 10. Best ever. Unfortunately, they do not currently have snapper soup. Missing the old Bookbinder too. Signed, Old Philadelphia natives.“

“As a travel agent, food is important to me. I not only book for my clients, but I also make restaurant recommendations and WOW!!!!!! This place is it 😍😍😍 I took many photos last night of the food, the atmosphere felt as though I was not in Philadelphia, but far away on a perfect vacation dining at an amazing restaurant. I'm going to post my photos on my business page, people, if you want Greek food, THIS IS YOUR PLACE ☺️ Thank you for a wonderful hospitality and an amazing time my fiance and I will never forget.“

“Great food!! It never disappoints.“

“Waitress was very knowledgeable about the cuisine. Other staff were friendly and courteous. Food was excellent, tastes wonderful and plated beautifully. The interior might remind you of an old time elegant railroad car with curved ceiling, crystal chandeliers, etc. great place for special occasions.“

“Always a Pleasure to have a Pleasure Platter. The lobster Bisque is my favorite.“

“You probably won't have high expectations when you roll up to this place as it isn't fancy, but don't judge a book by its cover. I made the horrible mistake of eating at Pat's the other day, and the meat tasted like shoe leather. This little joint served up a perfectly seasoned hot cheesesteak and a great milkshake - I'll definitely be back.“

“Everything was so good. No fishy or stale flavors. Staff were very friendly and very informative on all the different types of sushi. Will be coming back. The A5 Wagu Uni hand roll was amazing!“

“We were in town for the weekend. Came across this place on Saturday night. We enjoyed it very much. The oysters were fresh. My wife really liked the romaine salad. Spaghetti al limone was tasty - the sorrento lemon really comes out. The frutti di mare was really tasty - the chef is not afraid to bring the spice. Service was very attentive. We would visit again if we make it back to Philly.“

“Good food. Good customer service.“

“Food is fresh. Food is delicious. Prices are Reasonable, I Truly hope that does not change. Customer service is good, pleasant. Our family orders roughly about 1 time a week since we found this place about 2 months ago. 3 combos please! Lol We are definitely repeat Customers.“

“My husband and I had such a great experience here. The mussels were absolutely delicious, so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The appetizers were just as impressive. The drinks were also spot on. Not to mention, the staff. They were all so friendly, attentive, and very welcoming. We will definitely be back!“

“Love their seafood boils“

“Customer service was exceptional. Seating area was a bit small but everyone was so friendly and worked as a team. Honestly the best service I ever had. I went for restaurant week and ordered the shrimp creole. Omg I cleaned my plate and was still salivating over the idea of more when I got home. My partner ordered the crab soup and the salmon. Eyes rolled in the back of his head y’all. Everything was so well and for my first time they left a lasting impression. Would definitely dine here again. I’m just disappointed the shrimp creole isn’t on the regular menu.“

“Spasso Italian Restaurant is more than just a place to eat; it's an experience that nourishes the soul. It's a testament to the enduring power of authentic Italian cooking, executed with passion and precision. For anyone seeking a truly exceptional dining experience in Philadelphia, a place where quality food, warm hospitality, and a delightful ambiance converge, look no further than Spasso. It's a little piece of Italy, right here in the heart of the city, and I, for one, will be returning time and time again.“

“Had Friday dinner out with friends!
Pricey but overall a good experience!
The restaurant is on the 3rd floor. There is an elevator going straight to the restaurant.
Spacious and family friendly.
Wheelchair accessible.“

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

“Always fresh seafood and definitely tasty!💯👌🏾“

“We visited Pera and it is great to know that the restaurant met expectations and was consistent with the excellent review in the PHiladelphia Inquirer.“

“I moved to the neighborhood from Brooklyn recently. One day while walking around, I passed this unassuming place. The only indication that it was open was a chair outside with a bouquet of flowers to pin down a paper menu to the chair. The menu looked divine.

A few days later I walked past, showing my partner that the place almost seemed closed from the outside but was very cute inside. Someone who worked there came out as we were looking and was very kind, asking us if we had reservations yet. We said no but booked immediately.

The first time I visited, I had the sourdough, Marinated Mussels (hakurei turnips, miso, chili oil), Carrot (crab, brown butter), Shrimp (peaches, coppa, toasted marcona almonds), and Gnudi (corn& basil). It was an entirely no-skips meal. The mussels came cold, out of their shell, and the sauce was incredible. The “carrot” was more like a crab cake with coconut, brown butter, and an unidentifiable but delightful citrus. A perfect balance of rich & light. The gnudi seemed simple, but the lightly spicy sauce really pulled all the ingredients together. Finally, the shrimp with peaches really knocked my socks off. Lots of places will make “seasonal” menus but not put the effort into making sure that produce is top notch. The peaches would’ve been delicious on their own, but with the rest of the dish, they really shined.

The second time I went (just a few weeks later) I got the Chicory Salad (anchovy, buttermilk, comte), the Steelhead Trout (sungold tomato, perilla), and a tuna crudo special. I also re-ordered the bread, the carrot with crab, and the gnudi. Everything was just as good as last time, and the new additions were truly worth trying. Something as simple as a chicory salad can be so hit or miss - but WOW!

For dessert we had the cherry brown butter tart with crème fraiche. No complaints at all here.

Now I’ve rambled on plenty about the delicious food, which I will be back for very soon, but I truly haven’t ever been to a place with better service. The workers are extremely attentive and kind. I felt like I’ve known everyone there for a long time.

Thank you, Illata, for being such a wonderful neighborhood spot.“

“Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable staff. Great fresh vegetarian options with delicious tomato broth. Good vibes and music. Clean bathrooms.“

“My third time back and Yanaga, and it didn't disappoint! I love the mini tasting they offer - such a great deal since I can't always spring for the full omakase. The sushi is fresh and delicious, the cocktails are creative and complex, and the happy hour deals are so worth it! I tried the wagyu hot dog for the first time and even though I came there for the raw fish, that was a standout menu item for me.
The ambiance is laid back and fun, never pretentious. The waitresses and friendly and knowledgeable and never made me feel rushed.
I already can't wait to be back!“

“True hospitality! I arrived last night after evacuating from Florida. Kenja and the executive chef brought me to tears because of the hospitality, warmth and concern for me and the people of Florida. 🫶🏼. This is what a high end restaurant is supposed to be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.“

“Great seafood restaurant in the Fairmount area!!!“

“We have eaten here several times and have always enjoyed great service and excellent food!!“

“Delicious Indian cuisine. I’ve been struggling to find a good Indian restaurant since I moved to the Philly area about 6 months ago, and I mean really struggling. Out of all of the places I’ve tried, Srinagar takes the cake!!! The Chicken Tikka Masala is incredible and is the perfect spice level for a medium. I did only get delivery via a third party service, but would certainly consider eating in next time. Will be eating here again!!!“

“Finally went and boy it was worth it!!! Came from Zerlin (Berlin NJ) and got the chicken hoagie with fries. I have no idea how they keep that roll so flavorful and juicy! The chicken was to die for and perfectly seasoned! I hope you are in Zamden again Friday even though it’s going to be a rain soaker.“

“My boyfriend proposed to me here last weekend, and the staff at DePaul’s table were incredibly warm, professional and helped make it so special. They were all in on the surprise, and helped us capture the memories. They paid attention to every little detail. I’m forever grateful ❤️🥂💍“

“Excellent Happy Hour!!! Will definitely dine here again!!“

“Very good, nice service, comfortable room“

“This was a really special brunch experience and the food was exceptional. The parfait was perfect - sour, creamy homemade yogurt, mint, and sweet crunch granola. It was spicy, sweet, creamy. The Corsican breakfast was great and very different. Finally, the pancakes were great - the cinnamon was powerful, fresh. This was a great meal and I will make an excuse to come again!“

“Kei Sushi is our favorite neighborhood sushi spot. We proudly bring out-of-town friends and family here to show off the quality, yet unpretentious nature, of the Philly food scene. The fish is always super fresh yet the prices are fairly reasonable. My personal favorite is their chirashi bowl — and I love that they make it kosher-style (you know you’re in Philly when this is an option already offered on the menu 😅). Overall, Kei is consistently delicious, presentation is spot on, and the atmosphere is laid back.“

“Excellent customer service and safety precautions in place.“

“It’s was great jasmine is the best server“

“As always, the Philadelphia CG passed with flying colors. Lovely friendly greeting. Okay table for one. Good waiter. No rush. Wonderful cocktails Onion soup out of this world. My own is the only one on earth that's better. Ian talked me out of the salad I planned and into a great lobster tail. With corn and bacon as a side. Great dinner. Thank you Ian.“

“We just visited for first under new management and loved the experience! 🦀 Selina was lovely and very professional. The seafood was fresh and flavorful! Delicious!“
