Hosted my bridal shower at Kiddo this past weekend and had a wonderful experience. Wyatt and the team could not have been easier to work with. They were so accommodating and managed everything so well. Everyone loved the food (seasonal, great portions, delicious), the cocktails were amazing, and the space is so cute. Highly recommend for events or even just for weekend brunch.

Perfection. This is the adjective to describe our dining experience last night at Kiddo. From A-to-Z, everything was thought out and delivered In such an elegant manner in this neighborhood gem at 12th and Pine.. This will be our go to favorite restaurant to friends and family! First of all, I want to say that, although the lighting is on the dark side, just use your flashlight from your cell phone and enjoy the solitude and peace of the serene setting the subtle lighting brings. Also an important point is that the music is background music and elegant. That means you can have a conversation with your friends that you haven't seen for a year and enjoy the evening, instead of yelling over the bartenders choice, that is forced down your throat to listen to in most places. We were greeted by Sabrina their hostess with a beautiful smile and twinkly eyes who is genuinely kind. Alex the bartender has put together an incredible specialty cocktail list and Corwynne, an inspiring actor and filmmaker who was our waitress was so lovely with her effervescent smile that she made us feel special. And now to chef Wyatt and his menu. This is by far the most innovative menu we have seen from this promising, chef in the history of Philadelphia restaurants! He is bound for a James Beard award someday. We started out with homemade Terra chips served with a phenomenal hummus to dip them in, followed by gem salads that were so light and delicious, we wanted to order four more! The dressing was perfect – and this is often the barometer for me for a good restaurant. ? We all ordered bucatini pasta. My friend had the one with spicy peppers – and it was spicy and delicious – and the rest of us ordered the night special, which had a wonderful roasted cauliflower pesto. Wyatt's handmade bucatini is the best I've ever had in the world! Even better than what you would find in Italy! It is cooked el dente-and the luscious big holes that are inside the design of the noodle hold his delectable sauce magnificently. I was thinking that I would try to have leftovers for my lunch today, but I just couldn't resist eating every single noodle… And had to resist not taking my finger to wipe the plate clean of the superb sauce. The final jewel in this amazing crown of a perfect meal was his homemade apple pie. The crust was light and crispy, able to hold his perfectly seasoned apples with creme en glase on top. I am still dreaming about this experience. I want to thank everyone at Kiddo w enlightening our lives with literally one of the best meals I've ever had in my life! We have lived in Philadelphia for over 50 years and have seen the Restaurant Renaissance evolve over the last five decades, and this restaurant is by far one of the best we have ever dined in, and we wish them all the best of continued success for decades to come! If you haven't eaten here before go, go go as fast as you can and make a reservation because you won't regret it! Bravo to the superb team at Kiddo!!! Keep up the excellent work!

The first cardinal sin of the night was that they had run out of one of their three entrees. That's right - only three choices for a main dish and one was out. That left pork (which a lot of people don't eat) and a vegan dish. We were a party of six, so we tried a lot of small plates and both entrees. Everything was under-seasoned and not especially good. Overall, it was over-hyped and over-priced for a mediocre experience.

I look forward to returning to Kiddo the next time I am in Philadelphia. We were seven for brunch. Service was excellent, the menu is veg-forward so there is something for everyone. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

A stylish restaurant with great food and a low-key atmosphere. They have a "vegetable forward" menu that appeals to everyone but makes it easy and delicious to go meatless. Really creative dishes, you won't feel like you've eaten it all before.

Had brunch there less than an hour ago. The vibe is amazing in there, and all of the staff were equally warm and friendly, it’s typically rare to experience such an engaging FOH staff in Philly in my experience (I’m also not easy to impress since I work in the industry). The food was also outstanding. My server Alex was well versed and knowledgeable with all the specials they offered today and I went with the chestnut mushroom and corn omelette. I’d definitely recommend checking this place out.

Wyatt at kiddo prepares creative dishes that are fresh, seasonal and delicious. Our party of 4 ordered a variety of dishes to share. Each was fabulous. It’s impossible to choose a favorite.
Interesting food. Service is quick, somewhat pushy. I was taken back, when we found out that they charged us 2 dollars for 2 very small pieces of bread we had asked for. The overall meal was expensive

We’ve been here twice and both times were delicious. Their vegetable-forward menu is great for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. I appreciate their care and sincere commitment to good food and hospitality. Highly recommend!! My new favorite go-to restaurant!!

This place had very expensive food and drinks, especially for the portions. The atmosphere is lacking and feels cheaply put together. The wait staff was nice but that is baseline everywhere. I was hoping for something better in the neighborhood. I hope what comes next after this goes out of business is better.

Came to Kiddo for my beautiful friend Marisa's birthday during Dry January. I had an incredible mocktail. I forget what else we got because this was January and it's now July. I forgot to write this review earlier, sorry. Service was fast and courteous. I do remember we were all very pleased with our meals. I love meat (partial to steak) but who doesn't love a nice, healthy, gorgeously crafted vegetarian meal? Ambiance is perfect for a date spot. I will go back next time I find someone worthy of going on a date with. Hopefully soon, but I'm not holding my breath. It's tough out here.
Great vegetable forward spot with a great vibe and excellent service.
