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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“Your food is delicious and your service excellent. Thank you so much for sharing this food with the public. It is not easy to have a restaurant. Zorbas tavern is a must try place.“

“The breakfast burrito was so good“

“My girlfriend and I were both feeling like absolute sickness, and after a long, brutal day at work, a hot bowl of matzoh ball soup was sounding suspiciously like the only thing that could save us. Famous 4th Street came through, and then some. The GM, Kevin, went out of his way to deliver a bag of goods large enough to feed a small army. Matzoh balls the size of a doggo’s skull. Kugel slices the size of a phone book. The kind of Jewish deli generosity that makes you want to write a google review from your deathbed. We really appreciate the care Kevin put into making sure we were fed and happy. Thank you!!“

“Had sweet food cravings! Their cookies and cream ice cream, butter pecan ice cream, and vanilla cake were so delicious. Can’t wait to try more cake and ice cream flavors.

The food is delicious too! I’ve tried the wraps, chkn salad, and hoagies and highly recommend. Also tried both soups, “fish” stew, drumsticks, jerk chickpeas and curry chickpeas, and chkn with gravy which were DELICIOUS. favorite sides are cabbage, collard greens, and Mac n cheese.“

“Classy but casual atmosphere and some of the most inventive and impressive vegan dishes I’ve had anywhere. A mandatory stop whenever I’m in Philly!“

“Such a cute place and the food was absolutely amazing. My friends and I went for brunch and loved it. Highly recommend!“

“This is our first time to Philadelphia and we are big Stallone/Rocky fans so we were excited to try this restaurant where some of Rocky Balboa and Creed was filmed. This was one of the best dining experiences with phenomenal entrees, excellent staff, beautiful atmosphere and amazing entertainment with the wait staff breaking into operatic song!! 10/10 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!“

“The food was delicious and the service was great. Already looking forward to returning and trying other items on the menu.“

“My go to bar!! Baby the 50/50 burger and beef skewers on a Caesar salad are my favorites....good food, good vibes, I love how the owners are always friendly,welcoming, and present amongst the workers“

“Great food! Great service!“

“Everyone who was working there was genuinely friendly and the food is amazing. I definitely recommend the wild mushroom toast.“

“We dined here while visiting Philly for the weekend. We managed to walk in, but the restaurant is small and intimate so a reservation is probably best. It is also BYOB, so remember to bring a bottle of wine if you want something to drink.

The menu is clearly marked with gluten-free options, making ordering easy. Our server asked about allergies upfront and was confident handling the request when we noted my partner has Celiac (we mentioned it as a gluten allergy to the staff). We ordered the seared duck leg confit and the steak au poivre, and both were excellent. My partner had no symptoms the following day. We did not ask specific questions about shared kitchen space, but the clear labeling and great atmosphere made for an excellent dinner.“

“Only 4 stars because we're in the realm of Michelin here. Crab tostadas & Atun Aguachile were really great, and a guant step beyond street taco fare. The Cemita Arrachera Tatemada Al Pastor was very enjoyable. The Cemita Cubano was LARGE, easily 2 meals for my 21 year old son. The shrimp tacos in squid ink tortillas were delicious, but the cheese dominated. They were really tasty, but don't expect it to be shrimp-forward. Worth a visit, and worth going to again.“

“Too difficult to buy a cup of coffee here, the coffee ordering set up should be in the front, not the back and why is it so dark in the back? I want to like this place but it has no vibe…just the sight of staffers running around. The Hostess always looks bored and the back is like a madhouse. It’s one of the only places to get a cup of coffee ☕ near to Rittenhouse Park but where it’s well lit, it’s a quiet upscale grocery shop but the back feels like you’ve entered a subway station at rush hour!

Not sure what the remedy is but I’d suggest that you open up the front space, remove the annoying velvet rope and stop putting “reserved” signs on all of the tables (just sit people there who want to enjoy a cup of coffee for 15 minutes). This is a beautiful spot, but boy does it stress me out once you walk in the back.

Put on Italian music and hire some drop dead gorgeous guy or gal who knows how to convey ITALIAN WARMTH to customers!!! Every time I walk in the hostess is shy. She should be greeting guests and be IN FRONT, not planted at the podium.

Your restaurant is gorgeous ✨ , but it never feels welcoming 🤷🏽‍♀ it’s bright and pretty but it’s hectic feeling in the back - sorry, someone had to tell you..“

“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.“

“Our food was delicious, drinks good and great service . Thanks for serving us with our first experience here. Congrats on your opening !!“

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

“One of the best ice creams I’ve ever had anywhere. Hands down. (Two ultimate favs are the Earl Grey with Honeycomb and the Pistachio. Just perfect.)“

“Great food, good service and reasonable prices“

“All the rave reviews are true! I visited with a friend from out of town and we had a feast of our favorites. Nearly everything on the menu is vegan, and it was hard to choose! The lunch special is a fantastic value and includes soup and a spring roll. We chose the miso soup, which we agreed is the most flavorful we've ever had. The staff are friendly and really helpful, and the food came out really fast - truly cooked to order. And, as if that weren't enough, the prices are incredibly reasonable. 10/10. I can't wait to go back!“

“Terrific experience and service, quality food!“

“This was my second visit to Ripplewood Whiskey & Craft, and my first time experiencing their happy hour—and it did not disappoint. The menu had a great variety, and I enjoyed both the drinks and the pork bao buns.

A standout “happy accident” was ordering the pretzel rolls with truffle butter… absolutely amazing. That alone is worth coming back for.

The bartenders were attentive and provided great service throughout our visit. We also tried the deviled eggs, which were just okay for me—the mustard base was a bit too strong for my taste.

Overall, Ripplewood is a lovely spot with a relaxed vibe and nice outdoor seating in the back. It’s a great place for drinks, small bites, and a chill evening out.“

“Dope spot ....food great 👍🏾 nice vibes“

“Excellent friendly service and some truly remarkable food. Highly recommend.“

“my fiance and I were in Philly (from Maine) and she treated me to Osteria for my birthday dinner. The service was amazing throughout the meal, I wish I got the servers name as he was really an incredibly friendly young man who clearly knew the menu very well. The atmosphere is wonderful and the interior is just lovely. In terms of the food, I had the wild boar bolognese which was a special that night, and it was AMAZING!! Really, all the food was impeccable, from the focaccia to our mains. Super pleased and the next time I’m in town, I will most definitely be coming back!!“

“Absolutely delicious. Everything was so good.“

“Both the food and the service are Excellent.“

“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!“

“5 of us sat at the bar & the experience did not disappoint! We had a full dining experience and the bartenders felt like our own private servers. They were so friendly, helpful and attentive, the chef even came out with one of our dishes! We had one person in our group who has Celiac and all the food we ordered was gluten free and the flavors were off the chart!! The ambiance, service & food all exceeded expectations. Don't let the “vegan” menu scare you off, one of the best meals we have had in a while, highly recommend & we will be back!!“

“I was skeptical because I absolutely love eating meat. Meat and bbq is a huge part of my life. That being said dinner Saturday night was unbelievably fantastic. I absolutely loved everything that we ordered. Moms meatballs were my favorite dish. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that they are vegan. The cocktails were also delicious and strong. A++++ for this restaurant!“
