Highly disappointed. Haven't been there for a long time. Staff was pleasant but server never checked back if we needed anything. It was not crowded at the time we there. Soup was delicious. The other items we ordered were very bland . Just no taste and how can you mess up a chicken salad club which had no taste. Will never go again to a place which always had great tasting food.

Ever since the new owners took over, this place is AWESOME!! The service is much better, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming.The old owners acted like they didn't care about the place anymore and it showed and that's why my husband and I stopped going.The new people have breathed new life into it. We will definitely be stopping by more often again.

Great experience! Hands down best French onion soup I've ever had! The texture of Chef Larry's chicken croquettes wasn't my thing, but the flavor was good.

Delicious and very tasty food, and extremely kind workers (and the owner is amazing)! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone passing by. They have very cool milkshakes as well.

New owners are horrible. It took our party of three over 1 hour to get the food we ordered and it was room temperature (not hot). Was told by employee that male owner was yelling at employees in kitchen and refused to allow wait staff to warm cinnamon rolls so they was forced to serve cold! In addition, they were short-staffed. This never ever happened with prior owners in over 30 years!! New owners should be ashamed of themselves for not carrying on a Philly tradition of prior excellent, service, and food. No new owners were found walking around to welcome and introduce themselves. They have mighty big shoes to fill and are desperately failing : (

Food was so good. We got the apple cinnamon French toast, the Spinach fontina omelette and potato pancakes and avocado toast. The bread the Avocado toast came on was amazing . Never had anything like it. The new owners came over to greet us. Such nice people.
