Was there for a special dinner but everything was really delicious. Unusual setting and only my thing was it can be a little noisy.

one of my favorite restaurants in Philadelphia and beyond. delicious and creative dishes, kind and present service, a thoughtful and complex wine list and beverage program in a very unique space overlooking south philly.
i’ve been here numerous times with different parties and i’ve always had a great experience. it’s also one of the few restaurants I can consistently get in with a last-minute reservation or walk-in while still feeling the place is lively and bumping every time I’m there. it’s a delicate balance and they nail it consistently. chef Michael’s food is excellent, bev director Michael has put together an awesome program and chef Ervis is such a handsome and gentle man who also happens to make great pastas. what a combo.
I love Irwin’s.

Very small portions for the price. Was informed everything was shareable, We were a party of 4. We were told that we had to place our order all at the same time. We tried to just order salad and appetizers first. No bread unless you paid for a delicious focaccia bread, but it was about 4 inches in diameter. We had a salad and appetizer then we ordered 2 large pastas and one chicken. We were all still hungry . The inside was hip and cool but the views are amazing. It was hot so we sat inside. Go when you can sit outside. The bar menu was interesting. Best part was the views and then going to milk jawn for ice cream.

Truly a magical dining experience!
We have dined at Irwin’s three times now and each one has been one of our favorite experiences ever. Each dish is different and delicious and we would recommend trying the tasting/pairing menu at least once as the pairings were perfect.

The food is divine. Sharing recommended by staff, but optional of course. Every single salad, pasta or entree was fresh and perfectly prepared. Desserts were alright but could be improved.

The prosciutto and melon was interesting, although I thought the melon cut too much into the prosciutto flavor. I enjoyed the melon vinaigrette a lot. The focaccia was tasty and the crust was perfectly crunchy. I wasn’t a huge fan of the tomato sauce. I felt like it detracted from the eggplant and basil flavors. The gnocchi was fine. It was a bit too dense in my opinion. The orecchiette lacked depth, and could use some more salt at least. I really liked the full fish. I forgor what kind of fish it was, but the skin was nicely crisped and the taste was great paired with the salsa verde. The views were crazy. Service was good.
I’m vegan and they had only 2 vegan options on the appetizer side. Which included the olives and the white asparagus. Again nothing special. I asked what made the pastas not vegan since there were plenty of veggie ones and they said they use cheese and butter which in prev Italian restaurants it’s easy to omit. They didn’t accommodate and said if I was vegan I can only order the two vegan things on the menu. The server asked if I am the type of vegan that eats honey, wild question when the whole purpose of being vegan is not consuming animal made or produced products. Honey is produced by a bee, I don’t think I should be teaching this. Very small portions for the price. Atleast have one goddamn vegan entree it won’t hurt your business !

Amazing hidden gem of Philly. The head chef is cool af and the seats at the bar facing the kitchen are best in house.

Sunday afternoon-the patio is empty except for our group
Party of 8- they sit us at two separate tables of 4. Us: can we push our tables together ? Them: if you do you have to do the $90 per person tasting
Us: we’re missing one person but can we start to order apps? Them: no you all have to order together and at once
Us: what on the drink menu is sweet and smooth? Them: none of them are but we have a full bar if you want to diy something
Us: do you have any vegan options? Them: we have $20 broccoli rabe and pasta without cheese
*we ended up leaving*
