They made me a reservation over the phone for a day that they were closed…I assume they were closed because it was the Good Friday holiday which I understand but I was very disappointed to arrive at a closed restaurant for my reservation. Phone wasn’t connected to voicemail as well so not even a message explaining they were closed when I called before hand.

Seafood grits was out of this world! So much seafood, a half fried fish in a really flavorful sauce, and the grits were perfectly done. Would go back 10/10

Delicious food in an open air environment makes this place refreshing even in a metropolis like Philadelphia. They have some of the best unique dishes that I can’t find anywhere else. The staff is so kind. The umbrellas and beautiful flowers at each table helped make this place a relaxing space. I will definitely be returning.Parking: You may have to go around the block more than once, or park further away and walk a block, but the food is worth it. I was fortunate and found a parking right in front of the restaurant.

Softest corn tortillas I've ever had! Overloaded salmon tacos + BYOB, what more can you ask for? Great vegan options and so much seafood too! Mom cooks and her daughter is the most loving hostess. Enjoy!
Really creative and delicious. The salmon ceviche was full of salmon and avocado and had just the right bite. Octopus tacos were tender but chewy—with an amazing peanut and chile topping. Definitely will return.

As a seafood lover and a fan of Queer Eye, I had to give this restaurant a try, even though I had ordered more than I could eat.It was my first time ever having a salmon burger, and it was fabulous! I also wanted to try the salmon ceviche since salmon has been my favorite fish since I was young. There are lots of specialty items unique to the restaurant, and I am loving that.The service is warm and welcoming since it's a family-run spot, and since they have a history of selling fish, you can totally trust them in handling the seafood and keeping it fresh.Both indoor and outdoor seating areas are available. It's a 10/10 for seafood lovers, and if you're not, they have other options as well!

I really do not know why this place has a 4.9 rating? The food is fine, but as a single traveler it was difficult to get the waitresses attention to order and after a 25 minute wait and asking a different waiter about my food, I had to re-order it (because the first order disappeared somehow)y ? However, overhearing the neighboring table asking about when their food would finally arrive, it seems that this might be common at this place. Why should I give a 20% tip?
It's Gem
The ambiance could use some work, but the fresh flowers on the tables are a nice touch.The prices are high/expensive!We spent $85 for 2 people to eat brunch!The only things decently priced is the coffee menu!The service is hit or miss. The one waitress is terrible. The first time I came here it was good but this 2nd time, it was poor service. The waitress we had lacked in customer service, being considerate, and rushed us to pay before we even finished eating.The food is tasty. But I wouldn’t recommend the juices.The Experience: My spouse and I waited an hour for our meals and the place wasn’t even packed. We were not offered anything for the wait. We asked how much longer at the 45 minute mark and the waitress said about 10 minutes and blamed it on a bigger table ordering right before us… which is not our problem.Hire an additional chef to help or have better service/offer something for the wait.We were starving and asked for chips and guac while we waited… they were out of guac. She offered chips and salsa and we agreed. We finally got our meals and while we were eating the waitress stood the receipt/bill book right in between us. We were not nearly finished. Once we were getting ready to finish up she started removing our dishes from the table before we could even finish our last bites.Unfortunately, as tasty as the food is. I wont be coming here often. Between the prices and waitress we had, it wasn’t a good experience. We will be trying the place across the street next time.
