“Absolutely loved the Sundae. Potato chips and kettle corn must be in all of my sundaes going forward. The latkes were phenomenal - must order. The harissa broccoli was delish. The burrata and focaccia was a delightful favourite.The Caesar salad was overdressed and the croutons were too hard for my preference. The pepperoni pasta was exactly that - not the worst but it was something I'd make drunk in my kitchen at 3 am. Fries were meh.A solid 4 on the food front. Go just for the decor alone, feeling like I was in an 80s golf clubhouse. The pool table is cute and fun too.“
“I've been here a few times, it's a fun place to bring people because of the whole speakeasy vibe. They don't take reservations so it's hit or miss if you can actually get in. Drinks are hit or miss for me too. Over time I've done drinks from the menu and the bartenders choice. I know it sounds silly but I really dislike the ice they use! It's like ice chips which cheapens the drinks, which seems to go against the suave swanky vibe. I got the pickle mule this time though and really liked it.“
“The menu was so varied--so many choices of vegan food (not just the fake meat variety). We enjoyed the brussels sprouts, beet salad, focaccia, flatbread--all outstanding. We didn't care so much for one pasta dish with sweet potato--pasta a bit dry and chewy and seasoning a bit bland. It was a Saturday evening so quite full and service was uneven probably because of that. The background music was quite loud, particularly the bass line. I could hear to talk but I found the music distracting me from enjoying the food. But I think younger people have a different relationship to monotonous base lines and find it makes the place lively. I was delighted to find another vegan restaurant, just disappointed that the ambience wasn't good for me.“
“This is a spot for cool people, you will know when you walk in- that’s the vibe. I’m not that cool though and I felt welcomed (that’s usually how cool people make you feel). Anyways, the pickletini is dangerous, my friend had like 7 one time. I like this place!“
“Really great, inventive haute cuisine real Mexican; well executed thoughtfully prepared. Might have slipped a bit since my initial visit, but that could just be me being super impressed first go-around. Quite noisy on the weekends, be prepared to wait for your cocktails.“
“Such a fun quaint cocktail bar! I appreciated the bouncer outside who checked out ideas actually walked us to the bar and found stools for my group of 3. The bartenders were attentive and very conversational. Great drinks, highly recommended the French 75 and the drink with raspberry and gin. Good vibe all around!“
“Food was fresh and fantastic. It's considered new American food and I think the menu might rotate seasonally.It's recommended that you get 2 or 3 small plates per person plus an entree.Probably not kid friendly, the place is on the smaller side and not sure if they have high chairs.“
“Hands down the best meal I’ve had so far in Philly! We shared the Chef Special and every dish we tried was amazing. Definitely recommend the foccacia (pictured), tuna crudo, ravioli with sweet potato, and cacio e pepe. Our waitress, Kaitlyn, was helpful in explaining the menu and provided great recommendations and service. Can’t wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free pasta is available.“
“Came here for the espresso martini crawl and would come back for a regular meal. The staff was friendly and approachable. The Hugh Hefner espresso martini was a unique twist, at first I wasn’t too sure about it, but after the second sip, it was one of my favorites. Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.“
“We found this gem about a month ago and came back for another dinner last night. Everything was wonderful. Cozy dining room, although the volume can get a little loud depending on the crowd. The staff were charming and attentive. Nice cocktail and wine selection. The food was absolutely delicious! We will most definitely return.“
“Very good. Authentic Mexican restaurant. Exceeded my expectations. It has been a long time that I dont eat cactus/nepal and it was delicious. I would like to go back and try every item in the menu. My husband had the gorditas and they were delicious.“
“Really cool bar to drink local spirits. The bartenders were super nice and let us try a couple different things we were interested in. Cocktails were really good. I would definitely go back. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was super chill but I can imagine that it gets really noisy as soon as it fills up. Also you can bring your own food, since they don’t have a kitchen, so that’s really cool!“
“We just had the best meal here! My partner and I had planned on going elsewhere but we got there after 8pm and didn't have a reservation, so the wait was going to be an hour. We walked over to Wm. Mulherin's Sons and they got us a table in about 15 minutes. We proceeded to have one of the best meals I've had in a while! Starters: the octopus was crispy but succulent and the focaccia was pillowy perfection! Cocktails were excellent. The sausage pizza had a wonderful mix of flavors and the crust!! ? I could have eaten the pizza crust on its own, honestly. Thick and chewy on the edges and perfectly done throughout. We also shared a seasonal pasta with ramps, morels, peas, and asparagus, and got the chocolate mousse cake and gelato for dessert, which were heavenly. Our server Jamyl was attentive and warm, and checked in regularly. All in all, a perfect meal in a lovely location!“
“I’ve been here for brunch and happy hour. Great breakfast menu and the food is spectacular. The rooftop is a must see. The only issue is that you have to go all the way to the basement to use the restroom and you aren’t able to take the stairs to exit out the first floor. The happy hour food is great, but the drink offerings and discounts are thin. Something to be aware of: the “dirty double” martini is not actually a double, so that’s kind of misleading. Service and food are great though, so I definitely still recommend checking this place out!“
“Redcrest Kitchen is the Cafe / Diner on 6th St. just a one block south of Philadelphia's famous South St.; In other words, it's right where all of the action is. On this rare rather warm Saturday (short sleeve shirt in Philadelphia in Mid-March-really?) we got a outdoor table for our brunch and basked in the sun. My wife shared a hotdog and Caesar salad with my sons girlfriend, my son also had a Caesar with an order of fries and I had their very good; 2 scrambled eggs A wedge of excellent hash browns Two breakfast sausages And some whole grain toast To say we were all "Happy Campers" with this first rate meal combined with accomplished service would be an understatement. Along with a not too expensive bill, made this trip to the Redcrest Kitchen an outstanding experience.“
“I have only good things to say about this place. I thought at first it was a little odd to have steak tartar served with fries but the pairing was actually really good! Everything was amazing. I have never had such a complex gnocci dish and it's probably the best I've ever had. The scallops were perfect. Mussels, snails... all of it. Everything was just amazing; I cannot stress that enough. I can't wait to go back!“
“I had a good time, the food was good especially the duck, which was really delicious. We got also the gnocchi and the pork appetizer both were really good. The drinks were delicious. The only thing I’d say is it is really a bar atmosphere in the sense that the music is very loud (good playlist though), so it is kind of weird to eat this good food in a loud bar. But maybe it’s just personal preference.“
“Cantina “Calaca” Feliz, located in the Fairmount section of Philadelphia, is a vibrant spot that brings a contemporary twist to traditional Mexican cuisine. This lively eatery is celebrated for its fresh, high-quality ingredients that transform simple produce, fish, and meat into an array of flavorful dishes. From the pork Al pastor tacos to the Smothered Burrito, each menu item is a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to culinary excellence. The atmosphere is equally delightful, described as bustling and fun, providing the perfect setting for a casual yet memorable dining experience. With friendly service and a menu that caters to various tastes, Cantina “Calaca” Feliz stands out as a neighborhood gem where food and culture blend seamlessly.“
“Came here for brunch this last weekend. What a lovely experience! Mind you I don't really approve of brunch - half the stuff you can make at home for 3/4s the price. But this place was great! Staff were so nice, patient and helpful. Small but good drink menu with delicious non alcoholic options as well. We had the biscuits and apricot jam and goat cheese fritters as appetizers. Fritters weren't overly salty which I was worried about. Nicely fried with a refreshing apple jam. Biscuits were excellent - nice and flaky. I had the biscuits with mushrooms eggs and potatoes. Eggs were cooked well but still had a bit of runniness to them. The mushrooms were delicious and it all came with this cilantro dressing. Potatoes were also excellent with some peppers thrown in for good measure. It was so hard deciding what to get because honestly everything, especially the savory dishes, looked fantastic. Prices were reasonable, great experience and even though it was brunch and close to their breaking time before dinner, we didn't feel rushed out at all. Highly recommend them!“
“I came today to vista Peru . I’m from Rhode Island visiting here for my birthday . The food was amazing , the restaurant is really cute and the wait person . The lovely person with green hair was amazing at their job . They made me and my partner have an amazing experience in this gem of a restaurant . I can’t speak highly enough of the service overall and will recommend to all my friends and will come back for sure whenever I’m in Philly . And again can’t speak highly enough of our server. The most amazing service I had and made my birthday very special .“
“I have been going here since they opened. I really do love the food, drinks, and the fun interior. The service however always leaves something to be desired. The people are friendly but absent. I often have to wait to even be asked if I want a drink let alone food to start. I am not sure if it is a problem with not enough staff or inexperienced staff. Overall, the staff needs to be more attentive to customers. The music choices are completely fine but please, please turn it down. I was torn between 3 or 4 stars. I went with 4 bc there really is so much potential here. Bottom line, increase attentiveness and decrease the music volume and we got a phenomenal restaurant!“
“really enjoyed our dinner. nice relaxing atmosphere. great cocktails....esp their spin on mojito and old fashioned. spring rolls very good. oyster dish outstanding as is Obama bowl, least favorite was shrimp dish with mussels...,dark sauce... very good not great.“
“"Small plates" that actually aren't so small, small menu but which is expansive in flavors, and perfectly curated drink menu. Staff were welcoming and charming. When you dine here before dark, the sunlight beautifully illuminates this window-filled intimate space--such a lovely feeling. We particularly enjoyed the eggplant stewed in spicy tomatoes served with g thick cut toasted sourdough bread, the slow-cooked cod with fancy beans, and the grilled squash with brown butter--that sauce was a spiritual experience!“
“My friend and I made reservations for drinks on Saturday night (recommend making a reservation via Resy). We were seated upstairs, and it was busy, but not overly busy where you couldn't hear each other speak. We sat at the bar and had the loveliest bartender. The ambiance was amazing, and so were the drinks. I'll definitely be back when I'm in Philly next!“
“The pizza was great! The cocktails were also great! Reasonable prices, good portions, great food. Ambiance was a bit off- perhaps consider dimming the lights some. Seems like a regular old pizza place with the current vibes! Add some pizzazzz!! FOOD ROCKS THOUGH! Just… dim the lights ◡̈“
“Stopped in for their Thursday 5-8pm happy hour, stayed for the go-go dancer and the all-vinyl DJ! This place truly is special, frozen in time. The historic venue/bar has so much charm and life in it still. DJ Hardbargain and dancer Butterfly Jones made the space so cozy and vibey! 10/10 recommend for a drink out with friends and a sweet spot to dance.“
“Good vibe and good food! I was a bit surprised by the portion sizes and how small they were, considering that I would say this spot is pricey. The menu is also small, most dim sum restaurants I go to have a vast menu and are relatively inexpensive.With that being said, the chicken wontons were the star of the show for me! Along with the green fire cocktail… MUST TRY. The shrimp dumplings were also delicious, and the korean fried chicken wings were just OK.If I go back, I plan on trying to the cheesesteak bao as I heard they’re incredible.“
“Had drinks and some snacks here the last 2 days, and it’s a fantastic place. The tempura green beans were perfectly fried and come with a yummy hot honey drizzle. I had Max as a bartender; he gave great service and we had a nice conversation. Overall really pleasant experience and a nice establishment. Come here if you find yourself by south st.“
“Delish food - n of 3 times been so far and every time has been on point. Prices are definitely respectable (except $4 for extra pico) and the servers have always treated us nicely. Definitely recommend for Cantina food in the middle of Philly.“

“Came here for a girls-night-out/catch up with a good friend, since we wanted to "treat ourselves" to fancy, upscale, creative cocktails (rather than our usual dive bar City wide) - and this place did NOT disappoint. I got the gold dust woman (sage gin - pretty yummy, but not too strong. Simple and elegant.) and the Bela Lugosi's Dead (AMAZING! Gin, frothed egg white, and FALL SPICE!!). My friend got the Negroni, which was impeccably strong, if you're into that sort of thing (wasn't really for us). The bartenders were friendly & fun, and after 930pm the bar cleared out enough that we finally got a seat. Be warned- it's expensive at 12$/cocktail, but the ingredients and care put into their creations make it worth it.“
“Great vibes, stellar menu, unbelievable service. We've been here a few times now, and every time it has blown us away. This time, we were helped by Alyssa, who provided attentive and excellent service throughout the night! The drinks were phenomenal (the cocktails rotate, so you gotta try them all!) And the food was bangin'. If you're hesitant to try out this cozy little spot, don't be! You won't be disappointed.“
“My daughter found this place for us while we were visiting. While celebrating our anniversary. It's a nice spot with some very good food. Service was also good. I was a little disappointed in how they took care of an issue that happened, though. But all in all I would go there again when I'm in town. They're a little pricey, though. But the food is good. I had the Jerk Oxtail. It's spicy but good. Get ready to wipe your nose while you eat. Be sure to get that cornbread. Whew! It's good. The southern chicken strips are tasty also. Enjoy!“
“Food was great especially their empanadas. The service wasn’t bad but it was nothing to brag on. The place was a bit too crowded for me. I don’t mean crowded as in a lot of people but just too small. The tables are to close. The bar is directly in front of the door. Also if you’re one of those bathroom photo people, forget about it. Not worth the energy to find your good side.“
“I used to come here 30 some years ago when it was Sonoma. It has been several other restaurants through the years but this is the best by far. There are 2 bars. One on the first floor that has retractable windows to open up to the outside. Then there is my favorite bar upstairs. Light, airy, nicely painted walls with olive leaves and glass ceiling.There is a happy hour Monday to Friday, 4 to 6pm. All their signature crafted cocktails are $7 and they are delicious. Our bartender, Jeff, was welcoming and very knowledgeable about his craft. Love that they use a lot of local products. There are other drink options (see my menu photo below) and fun food items. We ordered 2 pizzas (shrimp and artichoke and the pepperoni). Both were fabulous.I will be returning again for their in house made pasta and I can't wait.Parking: People often think that parking is difficult in manayunk but there are plenty of options in the nearby lots if you can't get one on the street.“
“Cool table tennis spot. I attended an event here and there was plenty of food and drinks and friendly staff. Fun environment so I would recommend checking it out if you are in the area. If you are from out of town, there is a parking garage right across the street but it was $30 for 2 hours so just keep that in mind.“
“The food was excellent and just what I was in the mood for. We got the special (a carne asada burrito), chicken enchiladas, and chips and salsa.We are visiting from out of town and brought our kids with us. The waitress initially acted like she had never seen a child before ? I understand that they do a big bar business, but it was before 5pm and it was honestly comical how surprised they seemed by children. The staff recovered quickly however and we had a very nice meal. Accessibility note: it's all high tops indoors.“
“Get the fries.They said to order 2-3 plates per person. We got 6 items for 3 people and could have gone with one less.Ranking:1. House fries were hands down our favorite2. The Korean BBQ tofu was also fantastic if you like spicy foodsThe avocado toast, meatballs, and Bao buns were all good. But the calamari just tasted fried and not much else.Yes, it’s loud, but just come prepared. Overall a fun and tasty plant based experience.“
“Great little spot with an eclectic wine selection and solid small plates. Sitting outside of Fishtown Social with a glass of wine is a perfect way to spend an afternoon in the neighborhood. Hopefully all the construction doesn't crush your vibe though. The staff is always knowledgeable and friendly and can usually point you in the right direction if you aren't the biggest wine drinker. Bonus points here when they have oysters. Check it out and enjoy.“
“Stopped here to watch the Eagles vs. Cowboys game. The downstairs area was packed, but there was available seating upstairs. The atmosphere was great, the food was good, & the customer service was on point. Great spot to hang out & watch the games or just kick it with friends.“
“Very happy with our dinner visit! Food was very yummy, especially the chicken karagee ?!! The ambiance was very nice too — we were particularly please that the music wasn’t super loud (to the point where we need to scream to talk to each other)! Service was great as well! Will definitely come back ?!“
“A serious gem on spring garden. The decor is warm and clean and the staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. The owners can be seen walking around and touching tables to ensure excellent service. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the fried shrimp was perfectly crispy while retaining moisture and the freezer martini is crisp, cold and boozy. Do not sleep on this place!!! My friends and I can't wait to go again.“
“I had the pleasure of dining at Sor Ynez last night, and it's safe to say that this Mexican gem in Fishtown has left an indelible mark on my taste buds. From the moment you step through the door, you are enveloped in an inviting atmosphere that sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. Like really, who has a free parking lot in Fishtown, amazing!One of the standout features of Sor Ynez is its commitment to catering to diverse palates, including those with dietary preferences. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to discover a plethora of options that went beyond the typical cheese and bean combinations. The menu boasts an array of innovative and mouthwatering vegetarian and vegan choices, proving that plant-based dining can be just as indulgent and satisfying.The flavors at Sor Ynez are nothing short of spectacular. I wholeheartedly recommend Sor Ynez to anyone seeking an authentic Mexican culinary adventure.“
“TIME is one of our favorites in Center City. Perfect spot for a pre concert dinner. Sophia was wonderful. Malbec and Pinot Noir were excellent though a bit warm. We had the deviled eggs, short rib (amazing), salmon, and side of Brussels sprouts. All were delicious. Somewhat disappointed the whipped feta is off the menu. Need more vegetarian dishes.“
“Love the atmosphere here, it's lovely Great for coffee or tea Love getting a glass of wine or cocktail with friends in the PM Breakfast offerings need to be more extensive Dinner menu changed and not for the better Friend and I were just there and enjoyed the atmosphere and wine/cocktail but there was absolutely nothing we wanted to eat for dinner on the menu“
“Amazing food and polite staff, and a really lively atmosphere. I had a great hangover chicken and waffles (which was personally enjoyably much sweeter than usual at other restaurants, but you do get self serve syrup).However, I think choosing this dish over others here would be doing the restaurant a disservice. It was obvious that with only like three sweet dishes, you should just get their actual food.I’ll be back if I’m in town.“
“Our whole group agreed when we sat down at Two Robbers, “this place is immaculately clean.” Over the next 2.5 hours we received diligent and compassionate care from a classy bartender named Doris and a cool floor manager named Lexi: they were knowledgeable and always put the customer first. Our group had reservations across town, but we did not want to leave. Highlights of this really cool hip spot, aside from the stellar service, were delicious refreshing drinks and the best loaded fries I’d ever had. Wish I had more of the food. If you like organized kitchens, take a peek into their passthrough. Nuts were kinda soggy, but that might have been how they were supposed to be.“
“The staff and owner are nice folks. Prices are fair and reasonable in this current economy. Food was solid, the French Onion Soup Dumplings were solid. Steak was solid. The cocktails were generally not my style, I prefer mezcals/bourbons/whiskey bases, but the flavor profile was solid; the Drunk Text was the winner. It’s a nice addition to the neighborhood. I’ll be interested to see how they grow in the near future.It would be nice to see a Point Breeze cocktail bar crawl between Dock Street, El Mezcal, Insatiable, Madira and other spots … the local spots could benefit from something like a city-wide competition (shot + beer + app). I would like to see more collaboration between our neighborhood’s restaurants“
“I had went with some friends to Chika Ramen Bar for the first time. I had originally doubted the food given the very interesting, futuristic, Blade-Runner-esque theme, though I was pleasantly surprised. Though I had originally, believed, all of this restaurant's pull had been contributed to the ambiance, the food was extremely something to die for. The miso soup ramen with chashu tasted fresh, new, and had helped ease my original concerns. The Karage chicken tasted tender, without any dry pieces. Finally, the servers felt down-to-earth, without them forcing you to leave in a hurry. The overall ambiance, service, and food were something I would definitely consider with friends again.“
“A little fancy for me, but the room is beautiful, it reminds me a bar that would be on a spaceship, I don't why! The cocktails are intricate, and tasty, but u can also have a small but decent beer list. Was there on a Sat, and they had a DJ spinning.Parking: Super busy location. It is only two blocks from the Girard El stop if u take public transportation.“
“My daughter took me here and I have to say it was every thing I could have asked for. A true experience to say the least. The cocktails were absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is above reproach. I can not wait to bring my husband when we come back. Thank you so much for a wonderful time.“
