Always enjoy breakfast meetings. The service is wonderful. Selections are numerous. Service is on point.

Service was slow, table we wanted not available, food was mediocre, especially for the price paid. Would not recommend.

Went for breakfast. No complaints, everything was tasty and service was good. Menu was a bit unusual in that I felt I couldn't get the combinations I wanted unless I paid extra. Given it's pricey to begin with ($34 for pancakes + sausage + coffee + fruit, no eggs) I wasn't quite satisfied. Overall okay, good service and quiet ambiance. But would not go out of my way to visit.

My omelette was delicious and my husband said his eggs Benedict were perfect! Service was excellent as well.

From the beginning until the end of our dining experience, the service was impeccable and the food was exquisite. We ordered the 4-course and all dishes had great flavor. I don't drink alcohol, and their non-alcoholic options were creative and flavorful. I highly recommend

Yes it's expensive, but it's a very pleasant experience. The food quality, preparation and presentation are top notch and the wine pairings were well done. A quiet dining area with ample room between tables makes for a very relaxing evening. Most tables have a nice view of Rittenhouse Square as well. I had a signature expresso martini which was awesome. All-in-all a very nice dining experience and a gem on Rittenhouse.

We had visited Lacroix for our anniversary ten years ago so we thought we'd try it again for nostalgia's sake. We were really disappointed that it had significantly declined from its glory days. The staff was great, but the food and ambiance left a lot to be desired. Even the flowers on our table were near death. Brunch, with one cocktail and a bottle of sparkling water set us back $352.00. We wanted the experience to be worth it, but sadly that was not close to being the case.

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).

Suzanne

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
