Never got a chance to eat here. I walked by with my family during a trip to Philadelphia. Was the restaurant named after the two main characters from Trading Places? Or maybe the other way around? Just curious

This place used to have way more menu options and the food I remember being decent. I was way too tired to leave the hotel tonight and it was cold and rainy so I decided to try this again. Nothing sounded good. I like a lot of different foods too. They need some flatbreads and more sandwich options. Nothing needs to be fancy but they just need to revamp this restaurant. The staff is wonderful and the scenery is nice but i doesn't makeup for the lackluster options available and the mediocre tastes.

At Winthorpe and Valentine (a great name for a Philadelphia restaurant), the food is good, the ambience is surprisingly elegant - almost like eating in a living room with a nice bar area - and the service is wonderful. Although the restaurant is in the Westin hotel in the Liberty Place complex, locals should not hesitate to check it out. The servers and other personnel, who deal primarily with out of town guests, are gracious and well-trained. Also an excellent place for a business lunch or for an informal but good evening meal or drink.

Staff are very nice. Food is so so. Ordered the chicken schnitzel. It was on the dry side, needed seasoning and salt. The restaurant is in the main lobby which gets very noisy if there's a convention going on. They advertise being an award winning restaurant but I don't know about that...

This is a nice restaurant in the Westin Hotel in center city Philadelphia. I've been here many times for lunch and dinner as it's very close to my office. Recently, they changed the menu...for the better! Today, I had the chicken schnitzel...a fantastic chicken breast pounded flat and seasoned then bread-crumbed and fried. It was very tasty. The prices are high for lunch, but it is in a hotel and very convenient for me. Other items on the menu that I've tried include a burger, salmon salad and korean wings. It's pretty quiet here and they have a full bar. I will definitely be back.
I have been to W&V for many business lunches over the years. It was one of my favorite places to have a business lunch because of the quiet atmosphere that allowed easy conversation. The food was always great but the service was always a bit slow. This never bothered me because I wouldn't go there if I were in a hurry. A few years back they changed the layout of the restaurant, which is much more open and no longer presents the private feeling the old layout had albeit is much brighter. The food taste and quality was consistent before and after the renovation. The salads were some of the best around, offering a great variety with different choices of protein. Unfortunately I went today for a business lunch to find they have changed the lunch menu. Gone are the salads that drew me in so often before. There was but one meal sized salad that sounded ok. My business companions and I each ordered one. What was delivered was an over-engineered salad that tasted far too earthy with no balance of flavor. My server, who has been there as long as I can remember noticed much of my salad went untouched and offered accommodation, which is the reason for 3 stars rather than 2. I will not be back and based on the lack of diners at today's lunch I must imagine others have been turned off as well

Went to Winthorpe & Valentine over the holidays for a family get together. The food was excellent and the ambience was nice and quiet. The service was fair, but really slow. Bar service was slow as well and selections limited. There were no visual links or memorabilia to connect the bar to its namesake movie, which was also a dissappointment. If you're looking for a quiet, out of the way bar/lounge for a leisurely lunch this would be an adequate choice.

Dinner has some good options but breakfast leaves a bit to be desired. And wings aren’t as good as you’d expect either. Service is solid though.

Best Thanksgiving Feast! Our waitress Bernie was the absolute best.

I've had good meals here but I made the mistake of ordering a grilled reuben sandwich there yesterday and it was terrible. They don't get that a reuben should be served with the corned beef warm. Not cold corned beef with cold cole slaw and cold dressing on toast. First two bites were cold balls of corned beef fat - yuck. Go there but get something else.
