For the prices…. I don’t see it. Our dishes came out one at a time over about 5 minutes, big no no. And some of the dishes weren’t even hot. Frittata was ok. The salmon benedict was nothing special. Ricotta pancakes were good.

This place is outstanding!

I sincerely regret not taking a single photo of any of our meals, but they were as beautiful as they were delectable, and the small details were so delightful!!

Our group of 6 shared the focaccia, yellowtail crudo, crispy octopus appetizers. In my opinion, the crudo was the star of the show- it came highly recommended by staff and our friends, and even still I was blown away by the mingling of unexpected flavors.

We also split the margherita, spicy jawn and double margherita pizzas along with rigatoni alla norcina and duck egg raviolo. The pizza was crispy and light, the rigatoni was warm and comforting, and that duck egg raviolo was decadent and rich.

The portions seem small, but they're the perfect size to share amongst a group to try a little bit of everything so as not to overindulge.

Parking: There's a paid lot right across the street but it's fairly pricey.

Nothing but great things to say about this place. I returned tonight & had the pleasure of being served by Roz. He made fantastic drinks!! I hope they don’t get rid of the ‘McAllisters Last Stand’ I believe it was called - in my opinion, it’s a summer spin on an old fashioned. I’ve been here before many months prior & have always had a pleasant time but this visit was unforgettable, Ally & Roz made me feel like I was hanging out with friends. The octopus and pappardelle was to die for!

I was in town for one night and was looking for a cool place to hang out the had a bar and great food. I decided on Wm. Mulherin’s because of the on-line reviews and it looked like a comfortable place to dine. I had seen on their menu they had Duck Egg Ravioli with Ricotta, truffle butter & fresh shaved black truffles. I do love truffles so this sold me. I sat at the bar & the bartenders were very nice and I enjoyed having conversations with them. The drinks were perfect! I ordered the salad which was delicious. Next up was the Duck Egg Ravioli….well let me tell you! This was the most amazing dish I have had in a while. To say the ravioli was “lite” is the only description I can think of. The ricotta inside seemed whipped to make it lite. But the sauce, duck egg & shaved black truffles were amazing! The overall dish was absolutely amazing!!! I wish I had room for another order but I did not. I will be making a trip back up to Philly just to have this dish. I loved the vibe inside the restaurant and everyone was very friendly! It is a must try!

I had a killer pizza, a great cocktail, and some wonderful service. It was relatively empty when I arrived and packed to the gills when I left and the staff did their best to weather the storm of patrons. Will definitely be back!

Yummy food and nice service, but the cost for what we got was crazy. I had a few bites of pasta (yummy bites) for my entre, left hungry and with a $170 bill.

Don’t come here hungry! This place has the smallest servings I’ve ever experienced for what they actually did have in stock (2 out of the 4 things we tried to order were out). My partner and I shared a plate of calamari which was good but barely enough for 1 person. Then the main courses came out. My partner literally got 9 noodles, and my dish left me hungrier than when I came in. It was decent food, but not so good that they had any right to be charging $30 for 4 bites. The staff were friendly though and the atmosphere was lovely.

We had a reservation at 8, there was some mix up and we didn’t sit down until 8:45 but the GM handled it really well and comped a pizza and an appetizer for us.

We understand things can go wrong sometimes but we really appreciated the response and we had a wonderful time! The food, wine and cocktails were wonderful!

I love the food at this restaurant, but the service can make or break the experience—especially if you’re with a large group.

We were a party of five, and they require you to place your full order all at once. If you’re unfamiliar with dishes, it’s hard to know how much to order. Unfortunately, our waitress was either unfamiliar with the menu or simply uninterested in helping. When you’re dining somewhere with an average cost of $100 per person, you expect thoughtful recommendations, not dismissive answers like “It depends on what you like” or “I don’t drink, so I don’t know the drinks.”

At that point, we might as well have left and gone to a fast-food joint—at least there, we’d get some attitude for just $20.

All top notch. Great place - we jumped in late spur of the moment. Very accommodating staff.

Beautiful down to every detail. Fireplace, dim lit lighting, incredible food, perfect for a warm and cozy date night! The octopus was amazing, flat iron steak was cooked perfectly, generous amount of meat in the rigatoni, and the hiramasa crudo with blood orange, sweet tangy deliciously paired with the hiramasa.

Had a great experience here recently with friends. The crispy octopus appetizer was delicious, as was all the pasta we ordered. The special T-Bone steak was cooked perfectly. Service was on point throughout the meal. We especially liked the fireplace in the main dining room, which created a great atmosphere. The only strange thing was the booking instruction to "adhere to a timeline of 1hr 45min for dinner." I've never seen this before and it was sort of a turn-off, as these types of unwritten rules for dining should be left unsaid. Recommend!
