New American Restaurants in Philadelphia, PA

“The Love. was simply incredible! We came here with our 6 year old son. Our waiter was fabulous and very accommodating to our 6 year old which you don’t always find in Rittenhouse. The atmosphere was light and airy and the food was great! Make sure to try their Dubai Chocolate Sundae and if you’re going with children they do have special kids cups and will accommodate the menu for them.“

“Worth the wait. This was our last Philly Michelin m-starred restaurant to try. It’s the absolute best. The food was extraordinary and I’m already dreaming of my next meal there. My particular favorites included the buckwheat tart with morels and both pasta courses (one was an add on). Sadly I will now never feel satiated unless I’m eating Chef Schulman’s triangoli. A beautiful and intimate space with incredible care by the entire staff. Amanda Schulman was incredibly welcoming and engaged with the diners. Wine pairing was outstanding as was my Negroni made with Bruto Americano. The marzipan rhubarb cake was the stuff dreams are made of. So, so, so happy after this meal. Did I mention? Attentive and wonderful, wonderful staff. Thank you for an amazing evening!“

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.“

“Great food, music, and service!“

“Well prepared and creative seafood dishes. The charred hamachi collar was exceptional as was the snapper which can be easily shared. The server was very attentive. My only complaint is the noise level is too high to carry on a conversation. It is numbing. Fortunately we were able to eat outside and it was delightful.“

“Great menu, nice bar scene!“

“Such a cute place and the food was absolutely amazing. My friends and I went for brunch and loved it. Highly recommend!“

“I had a great brunch. Loved the atmosphere. Food was excellent. I’ll definitely be back“

“One of the finest restaurants we’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. A++++++“

“We loved the food, the service and the ambiance. We will be back when we visit Phila again.“

“The food was very good. I liked that they gave complementary sparkling water with lemon.
Service was excellent. I had the steak with latkes and it was definitely very good. Apps and desserts were shared and most of them were delicious. Some we didn't love but it wasn't bad. I'd come back again!“

“Do yourself a favor. Go to Bad Brother and order the ribeye! This steak was superb. Perfectly cooked, great presentation, mildly smokey. I can go on and on! The atmosphere at Bad Brother is comfortable and welcoming. It feels like you're dining at a friend's house. As I said, do yourself a favor. You'll thank me later!!“

“Everyone who was working there was genuinely friendly and the food is amazing. I definitely recommend the wild mushroom toast.“

“We usually come here on date nights for drinks, but decided to dine here before we moved out of the city. We are continuously impressed with the inventive nature of those working here. Both food and drink menus are rotating, some items new from season to season, while other staple items are reimagined with nuances to keep people’s palettes on their toes. I don’t think we’ve ordered something here that we haven’t thoroughly enjoyed. Tom is the mixologist bartender who is always pushing boundaries with his house cocktails. He has told us before that he tries to create a drink for each flavor profile. There seems to be a unique selection for everyone, and just like the chefs with their dishes, Tom is unapologetic in his choice of ingredients. There seems to be a lot of passion and pride in what is made here. Kiddo has a relaxed atmosphere, and the bar is our go-to spot. I cannot recommend this place enough, it is one-of-a-kind.“

“Unique food, cozy, candlelit atmosphere. Our group enjoyed it tremendously. Highly recommend.“

“Everything was perfect from the moment I entered. The front host greeted me with a welcoming smile. I dined at the bar. My bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and walked me through a beautiful meal. Service was top notch. The team work was beautiful to watch. Great attention to detail. The food absolutely amazing. 5 stars“

“You will not be disappointed, from the ambiance, the friendly, professional service and the delicious food!“

“Dope spot ....food great 👍🏾 nice vibes“

“GLENN FIXED MY FRIENDS SHOE AND WAS AMAZING MADE AMAZING DRINKS YASSSSS WE LOVE GLENN“

“Love FSC, the location is great, ambience and food are wonderful. The outdoor patio is very cute also just be careful they don't sit you in full sun. St upstairs for the first time, very cute area but need more than 1 server up there. Poor guy was running ragged handling all the tables, we had to wait awhile to put in order and never got offered refills since he was always too busy running food and taking orders.“

“I recently celebrated a milestone birthday with a dinner at Elwood with family and friends. Chef Adam and Jenny were wonderful to work with and the meal was absolutely delicious. Everyone loved the venison scrapple amuse bouche. We shared several orders of perogies and cheese platters to kick off the meal, followed by a couple of orders of the tri- tip beef, the sea bass, and the rabbit, which are served family style with a whole host of accompaniments, including exceptional mashed potato that got rave reviews and deserves it's own mention. Several of the diners had never had rabbit, but they all tried it and it was a hit! I already have plans to come with some friends for an afternoon tea, and my husband and I will definitely be back for dinner and/or one of the dining events that Chef Adam hosts. Adam & Jenny, thank you for my birthday dinner one to remember!💖“

“Outstanding dinner.

Everything we ordered was exceptionally tasty.

The fritters were delicious. The Striped Bass in coconut curry was superb. The broccoli cheddar quiche was excellent. And the carrot soup was great.“

“Cozy atmosphere reminiscent of a speak easy. Apps were delicious…broccoli and potatoes. Pizza was excellent….thin, crispy crust with great toppings. Definitely on our list of new spots to go.“

“We had a good, not great meal here. For the price (which was considerable) we were definitely expecting a bit more. The cocktails were great and the service great, the food was a bit underwhelming. We went with the tasting menu instead of a la carte and found the dishes good, but not anything particularly special. They were very accommodating with an allergy which was very nice. I'd like to try the bar menu but probably don't need another dining room experience.“

“Friendly Service and a great setting. Felt very laidback and comfortable there“

“Best brunch in Philly! Everything is delicious!“

“Such a great vibe. The food and drinks were superb. All hits and no misses from what we ordered. The Staff? Absolutely phenomenal. If you go you have to get the ribeye and oysters! Alice you are officially in my top 10 of Philadelphia restaurants. I will absolutely be back.“

“Great atmosphere, GREAT food selection and taste and service was awesome.....thanks Max!“

“I had the Smoke Show pizza and it paired perfectly with the Goats Beard Alpha Acid Trip beer. Our server was excellent!! Highly recommend coming here! We will be back!“

“Killer breakfast specials. Everything on the menu seems well-thought out and presented. Yummy place.“

“Drinks are to margaritas 16.00 come on wow“

“Food was absolutely amazing! Drinks were great too! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Fun awesome food, service and atmosphere.“

“The Butcher Bar is very lively in a fun way. We sat next to a large party of adults and kids celebrating a birthday and everyone was having fun, no matter their age. It's tough to pull that off. My husband and I both had a steak. I had steak frites and he had a steak with asparagus and mashers. The food was yummy and in large portions (think this might be a Philly thing). Our server was just starting that evening and she did a great job. I had a delicious cocktail with prosecco and my husband had a nice glass of red.“

“very yummy restaurant, you could tell the ingredients were fresh and the food was delicious! a little pricy but pretty much everything is these days and the atmosphere and service were great as well. I loved the decoration and natural lighting. the pizza crust was the best I've had in a while, chewy with a nice char.“

“The food and surface here were exceptional! We had the Smashburger, wings, Greek goddess salad, and chicken Caesar wrap with fries olive, which were spectacular! The weight staff is very friendly and attentive, what a great find on our visit to Philly.“

“10/10 experience from start to finish! My wife and I came here for our anniversary, and we couldn't have picked a better spot. The atmosphere was beautiful, modern, and had the perfect vibe for a date night. The food was excellent, and the service was just as impressive. I had the Killer Shrimp, and it was absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. We genuinely enjoyed everything about our experience—from the food and drinks to the atmosphere and service. Everything was a 10/10, and we will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend The Continental for anyone looking for a great date-night or special-occasion restaurant. ❤️🥂“

“Our group of six had an absolutely wonderful meal! Focaccia and salad appetizers were delicious as were our main courses - tile fish, pasta, vegetable lasagna, and lamb. We finished up with one of each dessert, sharing with great pleasure. Our waitress Shannon was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient and made a special evening even better. Would highly recommended this terrific restaurant to anyone who loves great food!“

“Awesome fool and interesting wall art. Gotchu some of that Sunday Brunch. Grab a Mamosa while your at it.“

“The shrimp smd the crab devil eggs was delicious 😋“

“The food was subpar. The prices are ridiculously high for the quality of the food. The service was average at best. Order a "vegan" burger for $17 which was just an impossible patty which came between a bunch that tasted and felt like cardboard. Also didn't come with fries. the drink photos in the menu are deceptive as they appear larger than the actual drinks received. Save yourself some money and have a better meal by going downstairs at the Grand Sierra Resort to Johnny Rockets.“

“LISTEN UP CLOSELY PHILLY!! YOU HAVE A NEW CHEESESTEAK KING IN THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE!! DOWN HOME DINER WOW IS ALL I CAN SAY… BEST CHEESESTEAK IN PHILLY/JERSEY RITE HERE INSIDE THE THE READING TERMINAL MARKET AND THE WORKERS ARE ALL SO NICE!!!“

“We traveled from Colorado and stumbled upon this place. We definitely lucked out. The atmosphere, the drinks, the people all deserve 5 stars or more. The bar tenders were fun to talk to and we felt right at home. They have great drink recommendations and my husband and I enjoyed the hour we spent just talking and hearing stories. Thank you for the good times“

“Customer service was exceptional. Seating area was a bit small but everyone was so friendly and worked as a team. Honestly the best service I ever had. I went for restaurant week and ordered the shrimp creole. Omg I cleaned my plate and was still salivating over the idea of more when I got home. My partner ordered the crab soup and the salmon. Eyes rolled in the back of his head y’all. Everything was so well and for my first time they left a lasting impression. Would definitely dine here again. I’m just disappointed the shrimp creole isn’t on the regular menu.“

“I recommend especially the University of Pennsylvania Sabrina location The view is so nice is Windows all around it's well lit the staff is so extraordinary the food is fantastic and it comes out fast the place is clean it was not hard to find a parking spot I give this place five stars“

“Such a fun experience. All computerized…no handwritten score cards. Michael finally beat me 😂“

“Fantastic dining experience! The staff was exceptional and the food was out of this world. The tasting menu was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect.“

“Everything I’ve tasted was bursting with flavour, from the protein to the sides, everything cooked nicely. Dining area was clean and the staff were friendly and efficient. The only downside is the serving portion, I understand meat is expensive and you can’t add too much, but sides such as rice and veggies should not be skimmed on.“

“Pretty atmosphere and good food“

“My waiter Chad was awesome“
