Stir Restaurant

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here, with all dishes carefully and well prepared. The scallop ceviche was excellent, and we loved the pasta with ox tail (nicely done al dente) and the fried stuffed quail. A good dessert was the pear Tarte Tatin. From the small list of available wines, we chose a Joel Gott Cabernet Sauvignon, way overpriced (as wines generally are in PA restaurants). The reception was a bit frosty (we came way too early and even though the tables in the dining room remained empty, we were ordered to wait a half hour). A very good eating experience inside one of the great museums of the world.

Food was great but service was not. Hostess was pretty rude. Waitperson was very pleasant, but food took forever. Very expensive.

The menu online was completely different than what we were given yesterday. Two of us ordered the quiche and one ordered the hamburger. Our " quiches" were served hot and had no flavor. The hamburger also wasn't good. Best part of the whole meal was the gelato. Our server was really nice and personable. We were really looking forward to coming to Stir again but we were terribly disappointed. We won't be coming back.

atrocious menu. Facility much below prior restaurant choices and not compatable with other major museums

Arrived at 12:30 for lunch, sold out of 2 items that we would have ordered, left and went to cafeteria instead. Not much better but a little more variety. The PMA should change vendors for Stir, it's sole and important restaurant. Refer to the Barnes Foundatiin for great food, location and service. The PMA should NOT continue Stir as it currently is contracted! NO Stars! Always extremely disappointed!

Overpriced for such an average meal. The tomato salad was lackluster - no punch, no flavor. The cod was above average so that was good. The dessert - carrot cake - turned out to be carrot loaf, dense and flavorless. This level of price point should come with the appropriate level of professional service - it was eh. I've been to Stir a few times in the past, but this time cemented my decision to not go back again.

I like dining at art museum, restaurants so I have alot of experience in them. Although the atmosphere is nice, the service was just OK. There was no recognition of a birthday celebration. They were out of two important items. The food was pretty good with the burgers as the standout item, the french fries were way too salty and the salad had way too much dressing.

Excellent and attractive plate. Light but sophisticated flavors. Added to a very enjoyable outing.

Great experience at stir! Interesting small plates at reasonable prices. A great place to take a break on your visit to PHAM.

Stir is a very good restaurant in a work-of-art location, Frank Gehry's renovated space in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. We were there for dinner on a quiet night, so the noise level was ideal. Drinks were excellent, food was on the whole very good, and service was friendly and quick. The halibut in tiradito broth was outstanding.

We had a lovely lunch while visiting the museum. Food came quickly and was absolutely delicious. We'd love to go back again soon. 

We met my son at Stir to enjoy a celebratory lunch for his birthday. Ryan was an excellent server who gave us space but was attentive as required. The food was excellent. We had a great overall experience. Highly recommend.

We had the best restaurant experience I've had in 10 years at Stir. Service, creativity, food quality Al stellar. Will return

Several menu options, on an already small list, were unavailable. Service was slow, although the place was half-empty.

It is wonderful to look forward to and then enjoy a tasty, innovative and well prepared meal after looking at treasure house of art that the Philadelphia Museum of Art gifts us with. This day we took a member tour and the lunch topped off a lovely day.
