Restaurants in Philadelphia

“Awesome menu, great vibes and really tasty food. Must try this place.”

“Excellent Food & Amazing Service 👍👍”

“IT WAS AMAZING WTF ELSE DO YOU NEED?”

“Easily one of the best meals I've had in Philly, but the standout for me was the ambiance, which was second to none. The team makes you feel like you're having dinner with friends at someone house. Overall fantastic experience can't wait to go back!”

“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.”

“Great food, music, and service!”

“We had the perfect cozy, comforting meal on a frigid winter night! The servers were attentive and took the time to answer questions and led us to pick the best menu items. The drink selections were excellent and I was happy to have a number of non-alc choices. We started with the layered lasagna and the “not Caesar” salad, both unique and delicious. The star of the meal was the gnocchi with local mushrooms. It was incredibly savory with so much flavor and the right amount of crunch. We will absolutely be returning to see what’s next on the menu rotation!”

“The pizza was phenomenal!!!.”

“Not kidding. Our table of 4 ordered nearly everything in the menu. Each bite was delicious, balanced, nuanced, worldly, fresh, and inventive. We ordered a second dish of the carrots, and also the cukes. Dessert was outstanding. Interesting wines, including a chilled Croatian wine that paired well with every dish. Definitely returning. Soon! ❤️”

“First time there, excellent food.”

“We ate here for the first time and I think this is the best place I’ve ever eaten. The staff was super friendly, they were very accommodating to my gluten allergy, and the food portions were huge. I really enjoyed everything. I wish they would open a restaurant on the Florida Panhandle or honestly anywhere within 8 hours drive of us.”

“We have been wanting to go here for a while and finally snagged a reservation for my birthday! It is worth all the hype and accolades. We ordered 6 plates and it was the perfect amount. The mussels are perfection, I could eat those everyday. The cavatelli - superb! Honesty, it was all amazing. The staff is so warm, welcoming and personable too. We can’t wait to go back!”

“What is the specialty of this sushi restaurant?”

“I think I probably have had just about everything on your menu, and I loved everything. I also like that Stina is not pretentious.”

“Great restaurant - highly recommended”

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

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.”

“The Food was Fresh ad Incredible”

“Killer cocktails! We will be back!”

“Our server Jackson was helpful and attentive, the restaurant has a wonderful vibe and the food was spectacular! Fabulous dining experience! Looking forward to returning!”

“This was a pleasant find on Christmas Eve, made single-handedly better by our waiter Fathi. Everything was delicious and his hospitality was unmatched. We had way too much to eat and can’t wait to go back.”

“I love this place, great food, lots of flavors to explore. wonderful staff, and seeing the owner front of house and behind the line was a beautiful experience 🦋. I cannot wait to come back and eat here again! 😀 Traveled from Utah to come eat here! (plus visit my son, that surprised us with reservations) a must visit if you get a chance to go! 🦋”

“The food was wonderful as the service was fast. I couldn’t believe the check. Extremely reasonable for all you get. I’d definitely recommend Kanella to anyone”

“This place is such a great spot for any occasion, such great food and an amazing vibe, great for a stop in when you’re strolling down main st! Owner is awesome too, helped me shovel my car out when in was stuck in the street, if that isn’t customer service then I don’t know what is!”

“Outstanding service and dining experience. Phenomenal food. BYOB!”

“Great atmosphere and service. The food and desserts are a treat for the tastebuds!”

“A very good restaurant. I enjoyed the food.”

“Definitely a very romantic restaurant and service was amazing and very fast considering how busy it was last night do to valentine day and our server was face and on point with our orders that mad my wife really happy and that always a plus so once again thank you guys keep up the great work definitely see you guys again soon”

“Yes, it is actually open 24 hours. I have no idea how they do it considering how massive the menu is, but I’m so glad it exists. You can get nearly anything here - pancakes, smoothies, burgers, hoagies, gyros (which I highly recommend) - and watch them make it right in front of you. They’re pretty much always blasting music and in a silly mood. Doesn’t matter if it’s 4pm or 4am, the energy in this place is unmatched.”

“Prices are very reasonable. Staff is very friendly. I’m deaf and both windows were good at getting me my order and food. I’ll be back!”

“Super great service. Breakfast is amazing anytime of day.”

“This is a great local restaraunt. More people should try the excellent food here. Very clean and beautiful atmosphere, great service, and affordable prices. The building is very noticeable with it's ornate artwork. This is my new favorite restaurant in Northeast Philly!”

“Found at an MSP. I travel a lot and this was a great solution for a fresh evening meal. Pleasantly surprised by the Pesto Chicken Pasta salad! 🥗”

“My friends and I decided to go to Parks On Tap at Columbus Square Park and we had a great time. The drinks were the best part but the food was nice as well. The staff was very hardworking!”

“Café Albania is truly a gem! My wife and I make it a point to come here every Sunday for their incredible Albanian coffee, and it’s become one of our favorite weekly traditions. The coffee is rich, smooth, and authentic—just the way it should be. It’s the perfect way to start our Sunday.

But what really sets Café Albania apart is the exceptional service. The staff always greets us with a warm welcome and treats us like family. There’s a genuine sense of care and hospitality that makes the entire experience feel special every single time.

If you’re looking for a cozy spot with top-quality coffee and outstanding service, Café Albania is the place to be. We can’t recommend it enough!”

“Matzo ball soup is the best I've ever had. I only eat it from here! The open face turkey platter is so delicious I always get it from here. This is me and my mother's lunch date every time we go shopping or doctors appt we stop here to eat!”

“Their prices is very reasonable for a case of cupcakes, and even cakes that you would see in a regular supermarket are reasonable. And the taste is amazing. Definitely recommend this place.”

“It was an nice medium sized event space. It was very beautifully decorated for my Sister's Bridal Shower. She enjoyed it from beginning to the end. There are two bathrooms in the back. They offered us the back too but I didn't get to see back there. But very nice people who own it here. The parking is limited and the place is easy to miss if you're not paying attention. It has a colored gated door entrance. The parking is on either side of the block. But they rushed to get us to end the event which was weird and unprofessional. But still a very nice place...”

“Came in from Atlanta for my family reunion. On Sunday we had our annual cousins day with crabs. The crabs were great! I bought two bushels!!!”

“I come to the casino mostly at night. The two Baristas named Vick and Juveep are very professional. They handle the demands of the casino guests very well. Plus they serve Dunkin’s products to perfection.”

“A very pleasant semi self serve offering dining inside or out was just the ticket for weary travelers----- And I don't find their prices at all out of line, as an example they had an iceberg lettuce good sized salad at the self serve for five bucks; a long with many other premade temptations. The daughter enjoyed a generous sied freshly made pepperoni . And my "Soulful Sunday Dinner" was scrumptious! Half a chicken baked and bbqd' served w collard greens and black eyed beans and don't forget the cornbread. The staff were all very helpful and the dining room was a Disney Animators Palette!”

“My new favorite spot. Blows the other 2 popular ones out the water”

“It’s such a treat to find such a rare gem of original Mexican barbacoa in Philly of all places!”

“Amazing definitely go try rainbow or cotton candy. Great sized!”

“Top notch natas(egg custard tarts!) Amazing bolos de belem(Portuguese style donut) Their breakfast sandwiches are fantastic and their version of a Portuguese classic, the bifana (thinly sliced pork cutlets typically marinated in white wine, garlic, paprika, and lard, served on a soft, crusty bread roll) is outstanding! Staff is also very friendly, highly recommend!”

“Excellent, kind, authentic Greek dining experience. The food was spectacular and very flavorful, and everyone was in good spirits. Great price for such delicious food”

“Exceptional service, and obviously because of the people. Fantastic staff. The food is TOP-NOTCH. One of my favorite places in the city. Also,…Their Turkey Club is heavenly. A++”

“Not child friendly need more option”

“We love Monster Vegan! It is our favorite spot to go! We have been going for years and it has always been amazing! Best vegan food ever! Everything about this restaurant is incredible! From the decor to the friendly staff! The drinks are out of this world! If you are a horror fan and love great vegan food this spooky fun place is for you!”

“An extensive variety of tapas restaurant with a good selection of wines and outdoor seating area. A focus on fresh, all crafted with the finest authentic ingredients. **Wine Selection**: A curated list of wines which achieve recognition as the "Best Organic Wine List" in North America in 2023. **Ambiance**: A cozy, inviting outdoor patio with comfortable seating, perhaps with Spanish decor and ambient lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. **Service**: Knowledgeable staff who can provide recommendations on food and wine pairings, and who offer friendly, attentive service.”

“Best pretzel I have ever tasted and at a great price!”

“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 place, delicious food, fun atmosphere and reasonable prices”

“My husband is a lifelong Texan and we recently moved to Philly from Austin and have been searching for good breakfast tacos to no avail, until we found Taco Heart. He loves the Troubadour and the Carrine’s Fave. They have excellent options for me as a vegetarian, too. The migas…chefs kiss! And we love the brrrchata.

But the real thing that makes them taste like home is the green jalepeno sauce. It’s impossible to find. But they make it perfectly!!”

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

“Both the food and the service are Excellent.”

“Been eating there since I was a kid with family in the market. Now live in Key West for last 30 years but specifically make sure each time I come up to see family I go to Villa Di Roma, clams casino, asparagus, gravy and the people there that run it all family. Amazing piece of the food history of the Italian market that is a must try anytime.”

“In all fairness, it’s been years since I’ve been there however, when I did go with my wife it was an awesome experience. I had my most favorite drink that I have ever experienced there. It was a vanilla-raisin old fashioned. I enjoyed it so much I have re-created it to the best of my ability many times over. You will love this place!”

“Verging on the Mammoth

The Mentions (Dementia) - my Benjamin couriers - Godspeed.

Boris (Johnson). Your slick back, Bryllcream Baby. Appendage or vortex. Oh how we entered into a Barnum and Bailey.

No Bob nor Borbora (Gheel) for they wer behind the wheel of the cedars ( Lebanon). The dance of the sugar plum fairy betwixt by the octopus (squid). The first decade of the eight.

Vienna 1933, the slopes of Zell am See / the Anchlus. The reformation of Frau Brady. A freakgeist like an abominable Trojan. Oh he tracked and he found us.

Even still this morning, the locust swarmed to our behest and located his undying prey. Bob in Borbara, you enticing Beer hall pushes, how to fall at the final hurdle, how to kidnap a soul. Farewell.”

“It’s very tasty there, we always order from them when going to center city, definitely recommend!!”

“Was it worth walking all of Kensington to reach here at Circles and Squares? Hell yea. Would do it again...maybe. ONE of the best pizzas Ive ever had. The east coast does it the best honestly. We talked to the owner and was the dopest dude. It is a city of brotherly love. The crisp was perfect and the cheese was flawless. Cant say anything negative about it. He even brought us out some wings which were fuego. You have to come here. Dont walk through Kensington though.”

“4th Street Delicatessen is a one of a kind city deli with tons of history and character. We ordered the Zaftig pastrami sandwich on rye, and it was absolutely worth it — the pastrami was piled high, tender, and full of flavor, and the rye bread held everything together perfectly. The portions are generous, so definitely come hungry. The service was great. Keira was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, and they even gave complimentary cookies at the end, which was such a nice touch. Parking is tough, but that’s expected in the city. It is on the expensive side, but honestly, with the location and portion sizes, what can you expect? Overall, great food and great service.”

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

“We did the tasting menu and were absolutely blown away by the exquisite flavors of each course. The wine pairing complemented each dish perfectly. The staff and chefs were exceptional as well.”

“We didn’t get to eat at Zahav - but got the next big thing and ordered the Lamb Meal from gold belly with salatim. It was DELICIOUS!! Best lamb we have ever had, so delicious. Salads were yummy, hummus well done and could easily feed 6 adults. So. Much. Food. If you can’t make it to the restaurant- order the kit from Goldbelly and treat yourself!”

“Great food, good service and reasonable prices”

“Always a must stop when staying in Philly! I crave their cold sesame noodles!!! The fried dumplings are excellent as well!!!”

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

“Incredible experience. Great location, vibe, service, staff, interior, drinks and food. We made reservations in advance good thing as around 6pm on a Monday it started to get a little lively. We started with two cocktails the new class same teacher? And the poor Helen. Both nice little riffs on classic cocktails. The same teacher was top notch. For starter we had the chicken Milanese which was outstanding. Then we split a fennel and sausage pie. I finished with a neat averna. I wish I had more room for dessert. Most importantly the entire evening was made effortlessly cool by the entire staff. From being greeted to being sat. The server especially the server was on top of everything and a real pleasure to chat up. All the food came out promptly and anytime we were low on something , someone was there to check in on us. Even tho it was getting quite busy everyone had cool composure and kept things moving pleasantly. We will be back in the spring can’t wait to come on an off hour and more hungry to spend more time here. Thanks to everyone working the Monday before new years we had a great night out.”

“Fresh and light with just the right amount of spice on a hot summer Day!”

“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!!”

“Helm is a standout dining experience in Philadelphia that I highly recommend. The menu is both creative and well-executed, with generous portions that left us thoroughly satisfied. As a fan of BYOB restaurants, we appreciated the opportunity to bring our own bottles. We've been telling everyone to make a reservation.”

“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.”

“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!”

“My first French cuisine experience did not disappoint. My son and I enjoyed a lovely meal and cocktails orchestrated by the best staff - Chef Clay, Beau (our server), and Alex(Bartender). From the first course I knew this was going to be one of, if not the best, dining experiences thus far in my lifetime. I highly recommend that everyone take the time to enjoy this fine dining establishment. You will not be disappointed.”

“Awesome experience! Great food! Excellent service!”

“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.”

“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 would love to give this restaurant 10+ stars. Never have I had such delicious food. Every mouthful of every dish was pure heaven! This was a birthday treat for my friend. We shared 6 small plates. I don't know which was THE best one. We started with drinks. He had the King Vidi and I the Shadowboxin. Both were expertly made. We then proceeded to enjoy Roasted oysters,Satsuma Mandarin salad, Tagliatelle, Foie Gras, Grilled Prawns and Grilled Broccoli. Every dish was spectacular and seasoned well. The accompanying sauces were smooth and velvety. We ended sharing a Chocolate Caramel Tart. My only issue was being seated next to the entrance where it was drafty whenever a new customer entered. I want to come back and try another selection of small plates. What a wonderful experience
Highly recommend!!!!”

“My wife and I absolutely love Elma. Chef/owner James consistently puts out incredible Italian food at reasonable prices compared to others in the neighborhood, and the BYOB always makes it even better. Him and his staff are always attentive and genuinely cares about the diners—you can feel it every time you’re there. We’ve been treated wonderfully on each visit, have come back multiple times, and are already looking forward to our next meal. A true neighborhood gem.”

“Phenomenal experience! Amazing service and the perfect steak!”

“Awesome experience!!!! The freshest fish I’ve ever had. Shipped from Japan daily. Great place!!!”

“Perhaps the most magical dining experience we have ever had.... each and every time we've been there. Rachel creates unique, delicious, complex, surprising, beautifully presented vegan gourmet five course meals that are served by Ibo and Sally with kindness, skill, and passion. Magnificent anniversary celebration. Cannot wait to go back.”

“I’ve eaten here a few times and it’s always been fantastic. Tonight especially so. The setting is obviously unique but the food and service would deliver in any location.

From the second we got off the elevator we were friends. The host welcomed our kids and us (we normally don’t bring our kids to dinner) more naturally than those closest to us. We had a temporary diet restriction and the chef came out and talked us through it and tailored something specific to what we needed.

I work in this industry and spend pretty much all my free time in it too. Places like this are rare sources of both inspiration and aspiration for me.”

“My fiancé and I recently came here for our anniversary dinner, and I felt compelled to leave a review because the experience was truly outstanding. This was our first time dining here, and while the food was absolutely delicious, it was the service that really took the entire evening over the top. Our server, Markeith, went above and beyond to make our anniversary feel special and memorable. He was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations that we genuinely enjoyed. You could truly tell he cared about our experience, and that made such a difference.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and couldn’t have asked for a better anniversary dinner. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service.”

“My friends and I had an amazing experience at Fabrika! We went for my birthday after hearing great things. The show and performers were spectacular. Very interactive and entertaining. The food and drinks were also delicious, and our server was so accommodating. And at the end, they open the dance floor, which is so fun! 10/10.”

“I'm reviewing this business because when my son had nowhere to go. The Owner allowed him to pass some time at his business even though he was a bit passed intoxicated. The owner helped my son get to his home by guiding him when nobody would help my son while he was lost and alone. Thank you so much on behalf of me and my son. DAVID”

“We traveled from Colorado and stumbled upon this place. We definitely lucked out. The atmosphere, the drinks, the people all deserve 5 stars or more. The bar tenders were fun to talk to and we felt right at home. They have great drink recommendations and my husband and I enjoyed the hour we spent just talking and hearing stories. Thank you for the good times”

“Staff are friendly service is great. Pizza is excellent. Got a shirt too. Highly recommend.”

“Delicious Philly cheese steak. You will not be disappointed. a must if your looking for a top notch Philly cheese steak.”

“I grew up on homemade Middle Eastern food made daily by my parents, so I’m very picky when it comes to authenticity. I’ve tried a few places that just didn’t hit the mark—but AL SHAM in Chalfont is a straight 10/10!! They serve real Arabic bread (pita)—not tortillas disguised as pita like you find at other places—and their homemade Lebanese toum (garlic aioli) is the real deal. One bite of their falafel wrap instantly transported me to a boardwalk in Lebanon, overlooking the Mediterranean—complete with fresh bread, Lebanese pickles, and those perfect pickled turnips. The meat is 100% Halal and you can taste the quality. Flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. **This is the kind of spot you want to support. We’ll be back again and again—do yourself a favor and try them ASAP**”

“Rhonda came through for my daughters 21st bday party! Called her on Thursday for a Saturday late day delivery… top notch, on time delivery but best yet… amazing mini cupcakes…baked on Saturday delivered fresh!!! The cupcakes were so flavorful…each one was mouth watering!!! Thank you Rhonda @seconddaughterbakingco 10 out of 10!!!!”

“We love Herman’s Coffee both as a business and a customer. They have good coffee and a great environment to start your day!!! +love their collaborations with small businesses 🤩”

“I came in this morning with my brother to get breakfast and decided to add a tiramisu to my order. The tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had! It was so delicious! The owners were so friendly & helpful!”

“Decent Tacos. Not super filling, but the flavor combination is good. Medium priced,$13.50-$15 for 3 Taco. The prices on Google are wrong as well as the the old menu picture. The Churros are the best I ever had in my life though”

“SUPERB - great coffee, worth supporting!”

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

“My friend and I had dinner here recently. Even with all the snow outside, the restaurant felt warm and cozy. Our service was excellent. Billy was so sweet and accommodating and the food was amazing. Definitely recommend; we will be returning!”

“There’s an original and authentic atmosphere of Vietnamese food here. The service is not sweet but efficient. The beef, beef tendon and tripe were very very tender! Love it”

“Love The Kettle Black! Amazing vegan croissants, bagels & other treats! Their cold brew is always on point! Super friendly and talented folks!”

“My food order came through Urber Eats. The food was hot, well packaged, super delicious, and reasonably priced. My family and I loved it. Definitely ordering again‼️😋”

“We love the croissant and bagels! Can’t wait to try more yummy things next week! And it’s AMAZING to have delivery.”

“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.”

“Great food, delicious, & so many options. Large draft beer selection. The only drawback was noise level. Group of guys were so loud that you could not have your own conversation. Suggest groups be seated in adjoining room. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend a visit there.”

“My friends and I have lunch here about 5 times a year before attending shows at the Walnut. The food at Moriarttys is consistently good and our usual waitress, Nicky is the best. Nicky treats us like family and we just love her.”

“This is some of the best food in Philly, not only is the food excellent, but the staff is so hospitable, you feel like family. If anyone wants to experience authentic caribbean cuisine, cooked with LOVE, you gotta check out Homestyle!!”

“food is good, large portions and lots of options”

“1)wonderful food and a goodly portion.2) BYOB 3)Not cheap but reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. Hits the Restaurant Trifecta!!!”

“Best bao buns in town I recommend it”

“Fantastic!! Queso fundido with chorizo served with flour tortillas was amazing. The birria tacos are definitely worth getting again. And the drinks were delicious and delightful. The Sangre de Bruja and the Purgotorio!!!”

“My siblings and I had ate at the Chinese Restaurants on Germantown Av. The place was small but the food was definitely delicious. I give it a 10 and will go back again”

“I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and everything from the food to the service exceeded my expectations. The menu had great variety, and the dishes we ordered were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What truly made the visit memorable was our server. They were attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offered excellent recommendations, and checked in at just the right times without ever feeling intrusive. Their positive attitude and professionalism really stood out and elevated the entire meal. Overall, this was an excellent dining experience, and I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend this restaurant—and if you’re lucky enough to get the same server we had, you’re in for a great time.”

“Love this place! The food is amazing and the drinks are fun! Its a great spot to have girls night or office party. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable as far as the menu goes. If you have an issue they are quick to fix it. Its always a fun time!”

“I Have been here twice food is so good. LOVE IT”

“We had an awesome night at Borromini! Our server Emily helped make our celebration so special, we loved everything we ordered! The focaccia di recco and the 100 layer lasagna for an appetizer should be on every table!”

“great place good vibes good food great customer service”

“I had the brisket and mac & cheese and it was delicious. I was definitely surprised with how good it was and my boyfriend had the chicken tenders with bbq sauce and mac & cheese. The tenders are nice and crispy and delicious as well. what we had was definitely 10/10 I absolutely recommend”

“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.”

“We ate outside at Parc mid-afternoon today to celebrate our 61st anniversary with our family, including our granddog. Our meal was luscious throughout, though we were too full for dessert❣️I must say, the highlight for me was the tomato tart, which was delicate but hearty, and totally scrumptious. Thanks for a wonderful meal, and as always, we look forward to our next visit.”

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

“La pasé increíble el día de mi cumpleaños”

“I will skip any place. That says that. Fix baby food for people that don't have teeth. I lost my teeth because of medical reasons. But I still enjoy a good sandwich For you to make fun of criticize people that don't have teeth. It is not good. I will not spend a dime ever at your place”

“What a charming little restaurant! I sat at the bar on a work trip for an early dinner, which they actually have a menu for! Prices are reasonable for the city, and 4-6 is happy hour so I came at the right time for great prices and drinks and appetizers. Would definitely recommend! Plus this is walking distance to many nice hotels downtown. Only 5 min walk from the Kimpton Palomar! Would recommend calling ahead to ensure availability.”

“Best cheesesteak!!! I used to come as a kid and there was a bar you could sit at inside. Now, it is all outdoors. The wait was 20-25 minutes which was long, but worth it. Delicious!”

“Just wrapped up a "steak-out" at Geno's Steaks in South Philly legendary landmark that draws tourists like moths to a flame. Or me to the Bat signal. And let me tell you, this place is a Gotham-sized slice of Philly flavor! The fluorescent lights and bustling energy felt like a scene straight outta Joker's Gotham night club. I went with the classic "Whiz Without"—that's Philly code for a cheesesteak with Cheez Whiz and no fried onions, for all you Bat-fans out there. One bite, and I was hooked. The thinly sliced steak, melty cheese, and soft roll created a symphony of flavors that would make even the Penguin surrender his lunch money. But Geno's ain't just about cheesesteaks, folks. Their cheese fries, ordered from the separate window where you get fries and sodas, are a gooey, delicious crime against healthy eating. Coke products available to drink. And Cherry peppers, relish, ketchup, and mustard are free and self-serve. While I devoured my feast, I couldn't help but notice the wall adorned with police patches from across the U.S. – a tribute to the thin blue line that reminded me of my own crusade for justice. Snapped a pic in front of it, a symbol of the shared fight for good that unites us all. Overall, Geno's Steaks lives up to its legendary reputation. It's a taste of Philly history, a tribute to the everyday heroes, and a cheesesteak experience that'll leave you saying, "Yo, that was good shtuff".”

“Incredible food and service. Definitely would come here again”

“Wait staffers very helpful with menu”

“ATMOSPHERE WAS GREAT FOOD AND STRAWBERRY 🍓 TEQUILA”

“We went here for my son's 21st birthday my daughter who is vegan was with us, the waiter, so sorry I forget his name, was very accommodating to her, he was able to have the kitchen alter ingredients for her and even brought her a vegan friendly dessert unprompted, he was fantastic, food and service 5 stars!”

“Vibe was cute, food was very good - we got the Peruvian chicken which was amazing, hummus and French onion soup dumplings (which were good but my least favorite of the lineup) and came out in timely manner. Only downside is that dishes lack sides but can be added in”

“The food was well presented and delicious. Both of us had seafood entrees. One was the swordfish and the other was Bronzino. The swordfish filet was thick and not small. The Bronzino filet was also a good sized portionn and perfectly prepared. The sides and desserts were also wonderful.”

“I was a bit disappointed that the decor was only flowers and will be that way until April. I come often, and when I came in December and January, it was the same. I was looking for a Valentine's Red or something. In addition, I reserved a table and, obviously, wanted one by the window. The manager tried to tell us that we have to reserve that table, but we've always sat at a table by the window with a reservation. She eventually accommodated us, but her initial excuse seemed like a cop-out rather than a genuine desire to accommodate returning patrons.”

“Amazing addition to the neighborhood! Such a great vibe and comfortable atmosphere, friendly staff, and great food. Highly recommend the pancake :) perfect brunch spot”

“Finally, my husband was able to get a reservation at SAO! It’s honestly crazy how fast spots disappear, gone within seconds.

We’ve been fans since their time at Mawn, so we had high expectations for this new spot, and it did not disappoint. As someone who is Cambodian and grew up in Cambodia for half my life, I can confidently say Chef Phila and his team really delivered.

Everything we ordered was delicious, but the spicy crab gravy noodles were our favorite, packed with bold flavor and real crab meat. A must-order! Every dish was cooked perfectly, and I loved how rich and flavorful everything was.

The space is a bit small, though. I’d love to see them expand so more people can experience Cambodian cuisine.

The staff were super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. Overall, it definitely lives up to the hype. Highly recommend if you want to try Cambodian food. This place truly hits the spot!”

“Nice little restaurant. Got the Black Truffle beef, along with the mala spicy dumplings. The beef is extremely tender, and some of the best soup dumplings I've ever had. Highly highly recommend.”

“My boyfriend and I came here for my birthday and the food was absolutely delicious! I will talk about it days. Our waiter, Finch, was incredibly nice and made our experience unforgettable. The owner, Josh, came over and talked to us as well which is always welcoming. Overall a very inviting and friendly atmosphere with 10/10 food and drinks. We will definitely be back, especially for happy hour!”

“I had an intimate birthday dinner at Uchi recently. This restaurant has been on my “want to go” list for quite some time, and I was not disappointed in the slightest. From the bold yet harmonious flavors of the nigiri to the delicious appetizers and small plates to the friendliness of the staff, I was so glad they opened up a location in Philadelphia. Highly, highly recommend. If I wasn’t from out of town, I’d be a regular.”

“The pizza is out of this world. It's a nice place to have a beer while you wait for the pizza. The staff are really friendly and it truly feels like a part of the neighborhood.”

“Love this place. Great sweet and savory bakes - tried the potato fatayer, scrambled egg sandwich (melt in your mouth bread), spinach and cheese borek (fragrant zaa'tar), and pistachio babka muffin (yum). Beautiful meghle spiced tea (iced) to go along. Friendly staff and warm, nostalgic ambiance.”

“It's my first time eating from this restaurant (I got take out) but I cannot find a single fault from the experience. Keep up the good work!”

“A wonderful experience. Well priced, excellent barbecue (shashlik) and dumplings (mante). The owner and staff are so kind, attentive and happy to share Kazakh culture. Many dishes are staples of any eastern bloc family table and it's cooked home style. Happy to accommodate large parties and special events, I had my birthday and graduation parties there. Try the compot (steeped apple juice).”

“Simply put, this place should not exist. Oh wait? Did you want a perfectly baked crust to satiate your appetite? Well here, they grind the flour by hand in the back and let the dough slowly ferment for 8 days or so, just in case you fancied taking an express elevator directly to cloud nine. Speaking of clouds, the interior of their crust floats with such an airy elegance that your tastebuds feel like Jasmine, having reached out to touch the rare Arabian raincloud in the midst of her magic carpet ride. But what about the toppings, you ask? I'm sure if you book enough time in advance, you could meet the very boar that is fated to grace the top of the pie you will shortly sink your teeth into. Don't worry, Boris (I'm calling him Boris) lived in the lap of luxury on an idyllic Bucks County farm perfectly suited for your rustic, instagrammable wedding that us filthy city folk can only attend in a fever dream generally reserved for a Hallmark Channel screenwriter.

Aaron is some kind of foolish wizard who has unlocked a spell that Gandolf himself could only steal from his apron enshrouded Nonna from the Italian section of the Shire. The pizza should not be this good. The restaurant should not feel like a homecoming when it's your first time there. It certainly shouldn't cost $14 bucks. But somehow, it does.

For those of you on a quixotic quest to find the perfect pizza, here is your windmill. Go full tilt.”

“Dined in for breakfast on a Friday morning with a large group. Even then, we were able to all seat together by combining nearly all the tables in the space for ourselves. If there were any more people eating in, we would have definitely had to split up, as the seating space is relatively small.

We were able to order and get our food quickly! The space has a nice fun vibe, and there's nice energetic music playing the background on an early morning. One of my pet peeves are places where the music doesn't match the mood of the weather, time of day, or type of restaurant. But they were on point here! 

All the food was fantastic. I ordered the nasi uduk--breakfast rice platter-- and a pistachio latte. One of the people in our group recently came back from a year in Indonesia and he attested to the legitimacy of the food we ate. I don't normally do well with spicy, but I ended up downing all the sambal on this plate-- delicious!”

“neighborhood gem ✨

⭐️ as a cafe, I’d rank it as
drinks: 4.5/5— they whisk their matcha, very rich and green and well mixed!! not grainy at all

working space: 2/5 since its also a restaurant, I saw one person sitting at a table with a laptop and if it werent busy, I’d probably post up all day. but since it was a busy sunday afternoon, I’d feel pressure to give my spot to someone else.

⭐️ as a restaurant
service: 5/5 the girlies in the front were so sweet! and working hard, they had non stop orders of matcha X lattes (strawberry, cream, horchata)

food: 4/5 pretty good by philly standards but my boyfriend and I were spoiled living on the west coast and the side-of-the-road tacos which nothing here compares to

atmosphere: 4/5 good spacing between tables, we walked in when there was a good amount of seats at 11am on a sunday and at 12, the lunch RUSH came in and it was BUSY!”

“Koch’s is a neighborhood institution that has seemingly been here forever. Their custom-made sandwiches are huge and delicious. The generous ownership will entertain and feed you while your order is prepared. There’s also a great variety of drinks, snacks, and health food offerings that can’t be found at other local establishments. It’s a neighborhood gem that should not be missed!”

“Obsessed with Downtime. What a wonderful addition to the neighborhood, and Philadelphia at large. Really incredible people offering fantastically delicious baked goods. The sandwiches are my favorite part!!! In a town full of hoagies, I love that I found somewhere to get a crispy, chewy focaccia sandwich with something pickled and a fancy cheese on it. I only dock two stars for atmosphere because the lack of outdoor seating is a major bummer at an otherwise perfect spot.”

“Ugh I only wish I lived closer so I could go here all the time. A+ wine, delicious cheese and bread, and a specialty hot dog cooker for their baguette + hot dog that seems a little silly but is 100% worth it.

FYI the shuffleboard table is currently out of commission (RIP).”
