“Wifey got the apple cider french toast and I got the caribbean benedict. We shared the chips and salsa. We were both amazed at how incredible our food was. The staff is super friendly. Can't wait to go back!“

“Best dining experience in Philly and this is coming from a Philly resident. Everything was perfectly seasoned, the music selection was fabulous, the ambiance was lovely, the service was top notch, and the dishes were creative and absolutely delicious. Super seasonal and fresh. Highly recommend!“

“Fantastic menu; great atmosphere; friendly efficient staff; loved it.“

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.“

“Each dish, from first course through dessert, was almost indescribably delicious. That had my family sharing our plates all evening. The servers, especially Jonah, were friendly, very attentive, and helpful. A wonderful dining experience.“

“This place is awesome. The food, the staff, the service were all top notch. It doesn’t feel like a stuffy 5 star restaurant but your food tastes every bit like it would at a 5 star. It’s BYOB and one of the wine bottle we brought had a cork that disintegrated and they kindly filtered it all out and put it in a decanter for us. Every single course was delicious!! We each got a different appetizer, two different entrées, and two different desserts. Every one of the appetizers was amazing, but I thought the wax beans by far were the best. The carrots were also delicious and everyone really loved the rice noodles too. Each dish was unique and super flavorful!! The steak appetizer was excellent. My scallops were good but not my favorite mix. The desserts were very good and we had to get them to go so I’m sure they would have been even better fresh. I will 1000% be back. Bravo Helm, you know what you’re doing!!!“

“Great menu, nice bar scene!“

“Absolutely love love love Kiddo - the menu changes based on what's in season, and the chef's thoughtfulness and attention to detail are unsurpassed. Many dishes are veggie-forward, creative and sensational, but my (fussy) husband swears the pork is the best he's ever had. Drinks are perfect, fresh bread heavenly. Can't recommend highly enough!“

“We loved the food, the service and the ambiance. We will be back when we visit Phila again.“

“Overall good food, nice environment. Enjoyed the complimentary food and drink for our birthdays. But there was a good delay for a server to come to our table (10mins) and it was not busy at all. A couple sat 5 mins after us were attended to before us. Server was accommodating but slow. Just constructive criticism. Will be back again.“

“We had reservations for 6 for Sunday brunch. Tyler was our server. He was pleasant and attentive. The food was delicious with large portions. We enjoyed the atmosphere while dining. This restaurant is definitely one we will revisit.“

“I had a great brunch. Loved the atmosphere. Food was excellent. I’ll definitely be back“

“Plenty of options, everything was pretty good. The fried mozzarella was maybe better labeled as fried cheese, and great. Loaded fries and cauliflower wings were equally delicious. The eggplant was a bit meh, the skins were just really tough. Desert options were good.“

“Great atmosphere, GREAT food selection and taste and service was awesome.....thanks Max!“

“I came here for the first time with my family. Our waitress Karlee was amazing and super nice to us. She made us feel very comfortable and welcome in this establishment. Same with our secondary waiter Cole (Karlee’s shift ended). The food was delicious. I got myself some carne asada tacos and they were fabulous. The vibes I got from this place were amazing and really boosted my mood up today. Overall a fantastic restaurant and we will be returning soon! 🔥“

“Went with a friend for a last-minute reservation after another restaurant didn't work out. They got us in despite being quite busy, and the service couldn't have been better. Food was amazing - fresh and sizable enough portions to be filling even for traditional seafood. The heirloom tomato salad was amazing and the small plate sampler was perfect sizing with shrimp, scallops, crab legs and oysters.. Will def go back, and glad to have found such a great new spot!“

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

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.“

“Everything prepared with amazing attention to detail. LOVED the oysters with caviar and the house burger is a stand-out!“

“The bartender, Andrew, made me delicious mixed drinks! He personally recommended me a drink off the menu based on what I said I like, and he made me the best Negroni I’ve ever had (my favorite drink)! I will certainly will be coming back, and I hope to see Andrew behind the bar again.“

“I had the Smoke Show pizza and it paired perfectly with the Goats Beard Alpha Acid Trip beer. Our server was excellent!! Highly recommend coming here! We will be back!“

“We had a good, not great meal here. For the price (which was considerable) we were definitely expecting a bit more. The cocktails were great and the service great, the food was a bit underwhelming. We went with the tasting menu instead of a la carte and found the dishes good, but not anything particularly special. They were very accommodating with an allergy which was very nice. I'd like to try the bar menu but probably don't need another dining room experience.“

“IT WAS AMAZING WTF ELSE DO YOU NEED?“

“Friendly Service and a great setting. Felt very laidback and comfortable there“

“Best brunch in Philly! Everything is delicious!“

“It was alright, no complaints other than the sandwich being under seasoned. I heard a lot about this place but can't say it lived up to expectations. Not that it dissapointed either, just fell somewhere in the middle for me. Maybe I just visited on an off day but for the price I don't think I'd go back.“

“Unique food, cozy, candlelit atmosphere. Our group enjoyed it tremendously. Highly recommend.“

“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“

“Everything we ordered was so good! Very friendly, nice server and the cook! Genuinely happy eating there. A restaurant where you can eat carefully selected dishes at a reasonable price!“

“Stir is a very good restaurant in a work-of-art location, Frank Gehry's renovated space in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. We were there for dinner on a quiet night, so the noise level was ideal. Drinks were excellent, food was on the whole very good, and service was friendly and quick. The halibut in tiradito broth was outstanding.“

“From start to finish, the experience was outstanding! The staff and management went above and beyond to make our evening special. Every detail was handled with care, and the service was warm, attentive, and professional. Truly an amazing team that makes you feel welcomed and appreciated. Can't wait to come back!“

“Great food, music, and service!“

“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.“

“This restaurant is a love letter to food. The service was amazing, the ambience was fantastic, and the food was some of the best I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing in Philly. My gf and I stopped during a busy Friday service and got seating right away at the bar with full menu available. I hope every employee here is shown gratitude for the excellent restaurant they are running. We will be back many more times!“

“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!💖“

“Had the Philly dip steak with fries at lunch and it was fantastic! It came with various dipping sauces and each one was amazing. The only thing I would say needed improvement while sitting at the bar was service, was ignored and never really asked if I needed anything until I was done eating.. this is a beautiful place and the atmosphere was great, easy to talk to others as it’s not too loud.“

“Fantastic dining experience! The staff was exceptional and the food was out of this world. The tasting menu was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect.“

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

“Absolutely Amazing!“

“Yards is fantastic! Great food and great beer! Best brewery in Philly!

Bartenders are always on top and make sure they check in on you.
You have to get the chicken cheesesteak!! Pair that with a brawler and you're set!

Definitely check out Yards if you are in Philly or visiting.“

“Ordered a chicken pesto Stromboli and one of the reasons was the sun dried tomato’s. Unfortunately it came with regular tomatoes which made it watery. Sun-dried tomatoes are more expensive than plum tomatoes and the flavor is very different.if they were not available the server should have mentioned and the price should reflect the difference. Very disappointed and only had a couple bites.“

“Drinks are to margaritas 16.00 come on wow“

“Celebrated my Birthday brunch today at Versi Vino and everything was phenomenal. From our server Brandon to Nick the Executive Chef and Eric it could not have been better. The brunch menu was some of the best food we have ever had. We are already planning our next trip there for dinner. Thank you all for making my Birthday extra special.“

“Fun awesome food, service and atmosphere.“

“LISTEN UP CLOSELY PHILLY!! YOU HAVE A NEW CHEESESTEAK KING IN THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE!! DOWN HOME DINER WOW IS ALL I CAN SAY… BEST CHEESESTEAK IN PHILLY/JERSEY RITE HERE INSIDE THE THE READING TERMINAL MARKET AND THE WORKERS ARE ALL SO NICE!!!“

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

“My waiter Chad was awesome“

“Awesome fool and interesting wall art. Gotchu some of that Sunday Brunch. Grab a Mamosa while your at it.“

“Wow, wow, wow!! What a wonderful experience! The food and ambiance are among the best ive had in a while. We don't do FANCY dining all that often, but this place had a great, relaxed, retro vibe with some really (for us) adventurous dishes. First, The Continental is lesss John Wick and more “Lincoln”, as you'll see from the car seat booths. The French Onion Soup Dumplings were fantastic, and the service was spot on. This is definitely a spot to come back to!“

“Pretty atmosphere and good food“
