The tables on the right near the entrance just before the bar, have a major lack of lighting, it is ridiculous that we had to turn the light on the cell phones to read the menu, while the rest of the restaurant has plenty of light, also barely can see the food as you eat, completely insane that they seat people on those tables!!
Unfortunately it seems like Bud and Marilyn's has gone downhill. It was admittedly a few years since we had last been to the restaurant before this weekend. First, we were seated in the one table that did not match any other (table, chairs, etc.) - the chairs were uncomfortable and metal. This was odd since we were eating at an off time (2:30 PM) and the restaurant maybe had 6 tables filled in total. We ordered fairly soon after seating and received our appetizer quickly....
We were there for an early Brunch-- so the noise level was quiet but got noisier as the meal progressed. We noticed that Philadelphia restaurants are on average "boisterous" to say the least. The service was very accommodating and friendly. And the food--excellent quality, served warm and in a timely manner. We enjoyed the Bloody mary's and the feel of the restaurant was inviting and friendly. We'd definitely recommend it and return when visiting Philadelphia...
