We enjoyed our visit! The staff was very courteous - everyone was very pleasant which enhanced how we enjoyed our dinner. Loved that! Food was good! I wish there were more choices on the menu to choose from. Overall great time and we would definitely come again in the near future! Thanks for a very nice pre-father's day outing with my favorite person - my husband!! 😊

Great location on the water. Food average at best. Limited lunch menu. It is a hotel resturant. Berger was over cooked, as if the meat was precooked.

We went here for Mother's Day right before the rush around 4:30ish. They seemed understaffed but honestly the food came out at a pretty good time and everything I had was pretty tasty from the crab avocado salad to the branzino to the steak. I would come again!

Everything was wonderful from the food to service . The manager really out did himself with customer service . If I had a restaurant I would try to get him to work for me .

Salmon was excellent flavor and service was impeccable. I only wish the view of river had been better, but was great all the same.

Joe

Excellent food, excellent staff. I can't say enough of about how perfect you made our Valentines Dinner!

Barbara

Our waiter was attentive and prompt. I ordered the ultimate grilled cheese with tomato bisque which was quite good. We'd return as the food was good and there was also good parking available.

Susan

Service by waitstaff and hosts was great! Food was good but couple of improvements to be made- such as branzino was over salted and bit too much dressing on the crab salad. Calamari was great!

I booked a lunch meeting for me and a prospective client to this restaurant. When we arrived after 15 minutes of trying to find parking - even though the Hilton has valets parking (but no one parking cars) we entered an empty restaurant with multiple tables that were set up for dinners. Somme of these tables were facing the water. When I arrived a gentleman asked me how he could help me. When I told him I made reservations for lunch through OpenTable he told me they do not serve lunch. I kept insisting that OpenTable had several time slots and that I successfully mad a reservation. After ten minute of arguing with he man, in format of my prospect, he told me I could sit at the bar (not a table nor a bar tender) and he would try to find food for us. The menu was not the menu on OpenTable and was veery limited. My guess, it was an in-room dinning table. Because it was cold, I ordered the Tomato soup which took over 15 minutes to be served, only to find out it was ice cold and tasted like ketchup. The waiter never returned to check on us, and the full bowl of cold soup sat infant of me and my client. After twenty five more minutes our food arrived. My client's also came with soup and his was just as cold and tasteless as mine. Bottom line DO NOT EAT HERE. IT is horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We stopped here for lunch, and all I can say is that a 4.0 rating is high for Keatings. I had the lobster bisque and ultimate nachos. Lobster bisque was very bland and the nachos were not great.

Keating's Rope and Anchor Bar + Kitchen offers a relaxed, dockside vibe in the heart of Philadelphia. The ambiance was casual, and the cleanliness was spot on. Service was friendly and prompt—no wait for seating and our food arrived in just 10 minutes. I ordered the Torchetti with grilled chicken. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was rich and flavorful, but the grilled chicken was a bit dry. My wife opted for the spinach and mushroom omelet of the day, which she loved. It was light, just what she wanted, and the French fries were a hit too. Overall, a solid meal with great service, but I'd skip the chicken next time.

Wow. What a place. I can only imagine how hard the interview process must be to get a job here.the staff are outstanding Scott is potentially the best bar man I have ever had.i think he must have studied “bar man” at Harvard with a first class honours. Me and my 24 friends had the best time here with him.
