Tapas Restaurants in Philadelphia, PA

“Not child friendly need more option“

“one of my favorite restaurants in Philadelphia and beyond. delicious and creative dishes, kind and present service, a thoughtful and complex wine list and beverage program in a very unique space overlooking south philly.

i’ve been here numerous times with different parties and i’ve always had a great experience. it’s also one of the few restaurants I can consistently get in with a last-minute reservation or walk-in while still feeling the place is lively and bumping every time I’m there. it’s a delicate balance and they nail it consistently. chef Michael’s food is excellent, bev director Michael has put together an awesome program and chef Ervis is such a handsome and gentle man who also happens to make great pastas. what a combo.

I love Irwin’s.“

“An extensive variety of tapas restaurant with a good selection of wines and outdoor seating area. A focus on fresh, all crafted with the finest authentic ingredients. **Wine Selection**: A curated list of wines which achieve recognition as the "Best Organic Wine List" in North America in 2023. **Ambiance**: A cozy, inviting outdoor patio with comfortable seating, perhaps with Spanish decor and ambient lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. **Service**: Knowledgeable staff who can provide recommendations on food and wine pairings, and who offer friendly, attentive service.“

“Una experiencia culinaria deliciosa y única. La cabeza de cerdo estaba de show al igual que el pulpo y los boquerones. La atención fue muy buena y agradable. Gracias a todos y al Chef. Lo recomiendo altamente y regresaré.“

“Our first experience at a James Beard award winning restaurant (2017) and chef was incredible at Vernick Fish in Philadelphia to celebrate Trent’s graduation! I know now what this caliber of food and service means and all other restaurants pale in comparison to Vernick Fish and Greg Vernick(semi-finalist chef 2025). From the appetizers (dozen oysters from RI, MA, ME, PEI) to the drinks and main course were all uniquely exquisite and cannot be replicated anywhere else. The constant doting with new silverware at each course and cleaning of the table was undeniably royalty treatment. Even the bathroom was an experience-I need the hand lotion in my life (instantly made my hands look 30 years younger). The portions, ambiance and service were all equally perfect! I highly recommend you check out Vernick Fish. We will definitely return!“

“Fantastic dining experience our server Sean Martin was amazing.“

“I’ve been to Fishtown Social many times and every experience has been great. Every wine/cocktail I’ve ordered has been very enjoyable. The whites and oranges are among the best I’ve ever had. I know I can try a few different wines here that I wouldn’t normally drink because the menu is always strong.

The service has always been friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I was just here last night catching up with some friends. Even though it was last call and close to closing, the servers were very patient and accommodating. In the past, they’ve also helped me choose from their bottle shop selection in the back.

It also has a great atmosphere - candles, a beautiful bar, and outdoor seating. Stopping by here is always a treat!“

“It was a wonderful experience the service was great the food was great !!!!! Highly recommend!!!!!“

“I came here for the first time last night, and from the moment I walked in I knew I would love it. The energy, the atmosphere, the service, the food—everything was amazing. Luis and his team have created such a warm and welcoming environment—it was truly a pleasure to experience. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you Luis :)“

“My go to bar!! Baby the 50/50 burger and beef skewers on a Caesar salad are my favorites....good food, good vibes, I love how the owners are always friendly,welcoming, and present amongst the workers“

“We came for bunch for the first time and it was absolutely delicious. The crab Benedict was amazing, the sangria pancakes were fluffy and perfect! My daughter absolutely love everything! Served super friends, and staff quick to clear dirty dishes. We will definitely be returning!!“

“Location was terrible :( im not from the area so i was very lost and having trouble finding this place. You have to take the elevator down to the concourse at the subway. Other than that, Staff was super nice!! Pork bao buns were soo good. Overall this is a good place to stop in and have a quick ramen dish yum.“

“Very nice service food was excellent“

“We stopped at Sally after a long drive north to Philadelphia. I had heard about this place many times but never visited. It is delicious pizza and I’m glad we decided to stop!

We got there around 11:30 and the place was completely empty. There were good vibes inside though. I loved the wall of wine bottles and the vintage stereo system behind the brunch bar. Music was great too.

We spilt two pizzas and they were both delicious. One was pepperoni, the other had sausage and some greens. I don’t think you can go wrong with their menu. The non-pizza items looked good but we did not try them.

The service was lackluster considering we were the only people in the place. They mixed up one pizza and offered to remake, but that meant we were eating at completely different times
