Lacroix Restaurant at The Rittenhouse

Lacroix has lost its world class lustre. Seated at a visibly stained place setting. When pointed out, wait staff literally replied “Oh well.” Brunch no longer is the opulent and extravagant experience it was pre pandemic. Ate many memorable meals there, sadly now removed from our fine dining roster

The best cheeseburger I have ever had. Every detail - from the roll to the cheese to the bone marrow. Simply amazing. Your pre fix lunch is a great deal. Service was perfect. Thank you.

Lacroix has been a go to place for us for years; it is still one of the few restaurants in Philly where you can feel comfortable getting ‘dressed up.' It has fallen off a bit since its return after the pandemic but still worth the trip. Our dinner was good except for a couple of missteps. The most glaring were the sirloin steak, which was a bit tough and slightly over cooked, and the dessert, which was underwhelming and bland. The appetizers were excellent, especially the potato risotto. They did provide a special small treat for our anniversary which was tasty and appreciated. (We probably wouldn't have ordered the first dessert if we knew it was coming 🙂) Our server was attentive and professional and we give her a two thumbs up. Even with the missteps, the dining experience was positive and we overall enjoyed our dinner. We will continue to patronize Lacroix and look forward to our next trip.

I went with my parents to celebrate both my and my father’s birthday. Our server, Everton, was fantastic. Knowledgable, excited to serve us, and overall a very happy demeanor. The food was fantastic, and they even had hand written letters for our birthday. Very highly recommend

The food leaves a lot of be desired. They take a long time to arrive, and the waiter brings out appetizer (soup) and the entrees at the same time.

I was very disappointed with the Sunday brunch. A couple years ago I made a reservation for the Sunday brunch and it was brilliant. The experience was dynamic and the amount of food was unreal. It really felt special. I went on Sunday with a friend after raving about the experience to said friend and it was so disappointing we didn't stay for any of it. For $125 per person, it was lacking not only in the overall experience but the brunch used to include a mimosa and bloody mary station, included in the price. Instead brunch cocktails were about $20 per cocktail on top of the brunch price. So between the increase in price from last time to this time, the elimination of brunch cocktails, and the decrease in food stations / options, we decided we would find just as nice an option elsewhere for a lot less money (and we did).

Really small menu. Everything was good - just not a lot of options that weren't offal. Fantastic service and nice wine options.

My partner and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary here. It's a great special occasion restaurant. The scene over looking Rittenhouse Square is beautiful. The food was delicious. Their playlist is also superb. I recommend it

My past few dining experiences at other restaurants in Philadelphia were so grossly substandard. I was so pleased with my dining experience at Lacroix, it reminded me of an era when I could call Philadelphia the 2nd best place in the States 🇺🇲 for good eats. The food was immensely fresh, the presentation was immaculate. Service was precise, and punched well above its weight. The restaurant is beautiful, and while not remodeled, it has retained a timeless look. If you are looking for a sure thing, Lacroix is your destination. Truly outstanding 👏

Terrible Experience - Do Not Recommend

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this restaurant. I paid over $600, expecting a nice celebration, but it turned into a complete waste of money and time. The food was absolutely terrible—lackluster, tasteless, and poorly prepared. For me ended up with food poisoning, and others complained of stomach pain afterward, which ruined our evening entirely.

To make matters worse, the cleanliness was appalling. The toilets were disgusting and unhygienic (see attached photo), and the tables and floors were dirty and poorly maintained. It was an unpleasant environment that only added to our disappointment.

I would strongly advise against dining here. Save your money, health, and your evening. Truly a terrible experience.

Brunch was exquisite. Lamb and gnocchi with rabbit were favorite dishes. Prime rib and duck were also delicious. Raw bar was well worth it with the caviar.

Just an amazing venue of food and great service above and beyond. Expensive but worth every penny

Lacroix is a beautiful restaurant located on the second floor of the Rittenhouse hotel. We had drinks and appetizers at Bar 210 within the restaurant one day as well as breakfast one morning in the main dining room during our weekend stay at the property. The food was great, and the service was excellent during both of our visits!

The food is nothing like it once was, the kitchen was dirty in particular the floor and the pastry chef should be immediately replaced. Desserts were not worth a bite. Extremely disappointed.
