“The Love. was simply incredible! We came here with our 6 year old son. Our waiter was fabulous and very accommodating to our 6 year old which you don’t always find in Rittenhouse. 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.“

“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“

“Best cheesesteak I’ve had. Owner came around with extras from his dinner he’d made for his wife and shared it with the customers. That was also delicious, but the cheesesteak was better :) Absolutely recommend!“

“insanely thoughtful bar food in a dim and intimate dining area tucked behind a neighborhood bar. the kid's cheeseburger paired a supremely peppery 4oz beef patty with a soft potato bun and the platinum standard for American cheese, Cooper Sharp. the lime gimlet was fresh, limpid, and married the premium gin with mint and citrus flavors. the preserved citrus slice drifted elegantly in a coupe glass.“

“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!💖“

“Amazing“

Between the service and the delicious meal this is a family dinner we will never forget! 🤍 THANK YOU!“

“Cozy atmosphere reminiscent of a speak easy. Apps were delicious…broccoli and potatoes. Pizza was excellent….thin, crispy crust with great toppings. Definitely on our list of new spots to go.“

“So I thought I was walking into Sweet Green as it was next door and wasn’t paying attention. I ordered a hot honey chicken bowl my go to. Turns out Dig Inn had their own version. Until she made it I was thinking to myself that isn’t what I ordered to figure out I was in the wrong place.
Instead of being mad at myself I decided to try it and I was pleasantly surprised and was not disappointed that I made the wrong turn!
Chef Twee(I think that’s her name) is awesome and I will definitely come back!

Great job y’all!“

“Food was delicious! Good vibe!“

“Drinks are to margaritas 16.00 come on wow“

“Best wings I’ve ever had! They were huge and the sauce was amazing. The cheesesteaks were loaded with meat and so good too. Highly recommend Alex’s Steaks & Wings!“

“Where do I begin? Well let’s start with I had a change of plans and found this place through recommendations and felt like taking a night out on the town. I drove from Glassboro to here and I was greeted with great professionalism, the atmosphere was amazing, and the music was perfect. Now as my first time coming in, I had no idea what was good but my waitress Josephine L. made fantastic recommendations! I had the Steak which was fantastic and the cocktail she suggested, Risky Business, was a perfect blend between sweet and sour! In short honesty (and very nerdy talk) I wanted to feel like Bruce Wayne tonight and the staff did a very fantastic job of making me feel like it! Will definitely be returning!“

“My son's rehearsal dinner was there on 11/6/2025. The food was outstanding, the service was outstanding. Great atmosphere. Definitely recommend Bar Sera!!!“

“Buck a schuck oysters, double braised short rib over rigatoni, key lime pie and even got a hug from the beautiful Solidea D! Everything was exquisite. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“I recommend especially the University of Pennsylvania Sabrina location The view is so nice is Windows all around it's well lit the staff is so extraordinary the food is fantastic and it comes out fast the place is clean it was not hard to find a parking spot I give this place five stars“

“We came in for the first time this morning. It was a pleasure meeting the owner and his son. The food was fantastic!! We will make it a point to be back often.“

“We had an evening out At The Table and did the tasting menu. It didn't disappoint. The food was amazing, my favorite was the scallop course. The only negative was a table of 6 near us who kept complaining. They arrived at the same time as us and also had the tasting menu. Our young daughter was more mature than this group of 60+yr olds. When the lamb entree came out they were convinced it wasn't lamb. It was lamb, and it was excellent. The whole idea of the tasting menu is to relax, take your time and have good conversations, entree at about 90mins and done in 2 hours. The waiter and chef were apologetic when they didn't need to be. I feel bad for them and wanted to post a review. Highly recommend the restaurant, awesome for a date night.“

“food and drinks were great“

“First let me start of by saying: CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TOP TIER. Chef AJ & Chef Tiann welcomed and greeted us with OUTSTANDING hospitality. The Food was divine as well. First timing dining here and we will be back solely because of them!!!“

“Great spot to stop in! Was in town for a party and just happened upon this place because it was close to our hotel. Food was amazing, service was beyond great and had a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely stop again if we're in the area.“

“Surprised with breakfast this morning. Great eats!! Highly recommend for anyone looking to fill their morning stomach void“

“I’ve worked around here forever but never knew they existed and I stumbled across their Instagram and figured to give it a try! I’m so happy I did. So far I’ve had a breakfast sandwich and a smoothie and everything was so good! I will definitely be coming back for more daily! Thanks coco grille!“

“Wanted to thank the wonderful waitress that waited on my daughter and her friends tonight for her Sweet 16. Sadly they forgot to ask her name but my oldest daughter said she was very sweet and all around great!!! They said the food was delicious. I appreciate the great service ❤️ 2/22/25 Wayne location“

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

“All I have to say is yum. Take all my money.

If I ever decide to go through with that fat transfer/BBL I dream of and need to gain weight I would be eating this for breakfast lunch and dinner. Also midnight snack.

So delicious. For now it’s still my special treat every few weeks but if my will power flees, I’d be here or getting delivery daily.“

“Everything was wonderful for my Birthday. Service was really on point.“

“Great food and drinks! Always consistently good.“

“Came in from traveling - they found me and my wife and my 4 children comfortable seating. Fast friendly service. She came over multiple times to check in. When the kids were super load, she was quick to say it was ok and they were not bothering anyone. The ambiance was very inviting and the food was beyond delicious - plentiful portions. My 7 year old said it best - A 11 out of 11!!!! Shout out to Taylor who was beyond lovely. Will 1000 percent be back again.“

“I love this place! It’s our go-to spot when we go out as a family. The workers are always so nice, and everything about it is great. We visit all the time because the staff makes it such a welcoming experience. Definitely check it out you’ll love it!“

“Recently tried DOHO when when trying to order tacos from our usual places on Cinco de Mayo but the kids didn't want to wait 2+ hours and couldn't have been more impressed with this new hidden gem in Mt. Airy. Creative dishes and everything we ordered was delicious. Only tried about half the options between our family of 5 so definitely need to order again soon!“

“Such amazing and creative food, it was really good and the ambience was lovely outside! Server was so helpful with suggestions and food and drinks were fantastic!“

“Great restaurant! Natural food that is a nice departure from the fried stuff, although that is good on occasion. I am vegan, so this restaurant fills a pretty essential gap for me - vegan, healthy, quick, and affordable.

On the downside, I noticed today when ordering that there were tons more options at the downtown Philadelphia location things like an awesome breakfast menu, including a vegan burrito, and other side like a strawberries salad maybe some of these things are just out of stock at the moment. They could also use some vegan desserts, and maybe eventually some alternatives for vegan protein. Also, it would be nice to see a vegan mac & cheese, which is pretty easy to make and other vegan cheese dishes. Finally, I appreciate the sauces, especially the vegan aïoli, but barbecue and buffalo would be a nice addition. Overall, I really hope this place sticks around.“

“Rachel was an amazing server that anticipated our needs, before we even were aware. Elevated outdoor dining +. Food was great. Best buffalo chicken dip we ever ate. Again amazing service!!!“

“Best shrimp tacos in the neighborhood 😋“

“I have celiac disease and was at a medical conference in the conference center above Reading Market. Having celiac disease makes dining out that conference is an adventure. The staff were very helpful courteous. The food came quickly and was hot. I would recommend trying a corn dog as well as the poutine.“

“Classic, delicious and quick service“
