Been here a few times and am always wowed, one of our favorite restaurants in Philly. We got a bunch of items to share between three of us, the highlight was the stuffed zucchini blossoms which was one of the most amazing things I've had in a while. Cocktails are great, service is friendly and attentive, comfortable atmosphere. Don't skip dessert!

Great spot for a couple glasses of wine and some shareable plates. We randomly found it our first night in town and loved it so much that we went back for our last night's dinner. Staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the small plates were exactly what we were looking for. Plus, they have a great happy hour that goes until 7 pm. Highly recommend!!

Gorgeous and delicious food. We got the shrimp & grits, steak & eggs, and the beignets which came with some sort of heavenly chocolate coffee caramel sauce. Our server was so nice and patient. Very helpful with recommendations and I personally loved their energy. On the way out we told a couple looking at the menu that they might as well stop looking and go in. Will be back for dinner.

I went here by myself for quick happy hour- the deviled eggs and the ham and cheese croquettes were my favorite, and the bartender (I think her name was Devin!) was so lovely, attentive, and had great recs. Can't wait to go back!

Our waitress was phenomenal, and the food was perfect. The stuffed crepe’s texture and richness was amazing. Our rosy chicken was so lovely, the mango spread and truffles were wonderful accompaniment. And the financier for dessert was truly incredible. We will definitely be returning!

Really enjoyed Forsythia for brunch. We found it on Google maps and tried it out and we were so glad we did! The vibe is warm and eclectic, and inviting. I started off with a delicious N/A beverage called the 75 year old virgin! Fresh and lovely.Then the most beautiful salad with exotic greens. Finally a perfect short rib & eggs with a lovely sauce. The waitress was so attentive and easy to chat with. 5 stars all around.
Loved loved loved our meal here. The French onion soup with the duck omg my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Also really enjoyed the Stuffed Piquillos Peppers. One of my cocktails came out in an adorable tea cup. The bartender was amazing. I recommend this place to everyone.

My partner and I visited for restaurant week (01/27) and the experience was far below what we expected. To begin with, the service was very good and we have no complaints there. But we were seated in a very cramped corner seat with pillows, lack of elbow room, etc., that made it impossible to be comfortable, and the lighting was too dim for a restaurant - it's one thing if we're talking about a cocktail bar, but I (28 y/o, not blind) need to see to eat.We ordered both restaurant week cocktails, the escargot and crudo, one plate of the caccio e pepe pasta, the Rohan duck and the trout bouillabaisse, and finally the lemon tart and the chocolate mousse. Both cocktails were wide misses with very little flavor to the point of leaving us wondering if they were misprepared. The crudo had no flavor whatsoever and left us rather stunned at the poor execution. Both of the desserts were so-so, but I have to say the chocolate mousse came off very bland to me.The biggest issue of the night, however, was the trout bouillabaisse - this was the most poorly conceived dish that I've had in quite some time. The trout fillet was so thin as to be very difficult to cook without delivering something very dry (and it was very dry) but was also tasteless, it was served atop of a bouillabaisse on a flat plate. The flat plate ensures that you cannot eat the soup, and that the soup cannot flavor the trout. There were mixed vegetables and undercooked potatoes in the soup which added nothing in flavor and were difficult to chew.I'll note that the Rohan duck and the escargot were both memorable and good dishes. But for this experience, we paid $195. Earnestly, it felt like an evening that I wouldn't be getting back. I will not be returning and will not be recommending.

Honestly, one of my new favorite spots in philly for strong drinks and good deals! Their happy hour is unbeatable esp the one on sunday. The service is amazing! We love Lo and Devin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wheelchair accessibility: They open up the door next door which has a ramp and connects to a door inside the restaurant.
The absolute best restaurant in Philadelphia. Best onion soup in France.You should go here whenever you get the chance. The food is absolutely delicious.
