They also have a bar upstairs and ample parking across the street. The appetizers were delicious and creative. Its a nice venue to hold a small event or to have drinks/dinner.“

“A true marriage between a coffee shop and cocktail bar. They serve traditional café fare here, as well as signature flavored lattes, craft coffee drinks, and many cocktails with a coffee or tea twist. Every week, there's also a new special on the menu. They also allow guests to bring food, so you can cozy up with a drink and some bites and hang out late into the night (which we have done many times!)Vegetarian options: Almost all drinks are vegetarian, and vegan milk alternatives are available upon request.“

“Food was so delicious! Wonderful outside balcony seating! Great service? love this place!“

“This is the second year in a row we had my birthday lunch here, and it did not disappoint!! Such a great atmosphere, delicious food, amazing cocktails, and fabulous service!“

“I’ve now been to Cigar Republic 3 times in the past 30 days. Each time has been a great experience. The team there from the top and throughout are pleasant, accommodating and help to create a relaxed environment. The patrons are the same. I’m mulling over becoming a member.Suggestion, read the rules prior to going as there are no outside cigars allowed. That’s ok because their humidor room has a great selection.*while food is not served, they do allow for deliveries from surrounding restaurants*“

“Had a wonderful experience. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was delightful. Atmosphere was refreshing :)“

“Food is always amazing and the staff always friendly!! Always feel welcomed here“

“Very happy with our dinner visit! Food was very yummy, especially the chicken karagee ?!! The ambiance was very nice too — we were particularly please that the music wasn’t super loud (to the point where we need to scream to talk to each other)! Service was great as well! Will definitely come back ?!“

“Took my God Daughter for our monthly brunch date. EVERYTHING was delicious. I ordered shrimp n' grits w/ scrambled eggs, GD had chicken n' shrimp n' waffles. Bill treated us like pure royalty.“

“My husband and I had such a fun time here! We stopped in for drinks before our dinner reservation. The guys behind the bar were so much fun, and really helpful. I described what type of drinks I like, and they came up with recommendations for me. This place is a great addition to Lancaster Ave! We had such a nice time that we bought a gift card for a friend so they could come and enjoy. Can't wait to come back!“

“A fun event. Good food on sale. Good drink variety on sale. The garden was lovely and tucked under a rail line. Parking wasn't terrible (for Manayunk). The event was well run: lots of give aways, activities and all in a cute location.“

“Everything was great. The breakfast pizza was outstanding, the French toast was amazing, the salmon tartar was magnificent and the tiramisu martini and the My girl drinks were the bomb. Hannah did a fantastic job taking care of our party of 8. Can’t wait to return. Thanks to all the staff at Mia Ragazza.“

“Everything is great! From the bar to the appetizer's To the servers! The food is out of this world!! Highly recommend it!“

“Visited to prepare for an upcoming event and decided to have dinner. The service from the time I was seated was best in class. My hostess Cheryl was so friendly and professional getting me settled at my table. My server Mr. Relace was absolutely amazing. I had a few items from the menu. Baby back ribs with sweet potato fries, Atlantic Salmon with seasonal vegetables. A nice potato soup with Prosciutto garnish. The cocktails were poured generously. To top things off I had bread pudding soaked in Markers burbon with French vanilla ice cream. The entire experience was priced very well and I recommend as a hidden gem for fine dining.“

“Bestest personalized service! Highly recommend as a local hometown feel establishment.“

“My sister and I had the best brunch here. Our server (Ina I believe) was friendly and made great recommendations that we took. The atmosphere felt comfortable but stylish at the same time. Definitely coming back!“

“Came here on a Sunday for a late lunch and it was pretty empty inside and outside. I was excited to try the newer location - the menu looks to be the same at all of the Dan Dan locations. The food came out insanely quick (almost a little too quick) and was exactly how I expected it. I would rank the Dan Dan locations in this order for both food and service: 1) Center City, 2) Ardmore, 3) Wayne. The natural lighting was beautiful and there's a section that looks like a sunroom/patio situation. I would love to sit there next time.“

“The venue was almost perfect! It is well appointed, the bathrooms super clean. The set up was great. The bartender was awesome! She was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Friendly and efficient. Good parking, well lighted exterior. I would recommend this place any day of the week.Thanks.“

“I had a private party (20 Guests) on a Saturday afternoon. Everything went PERFECT! Olivia Karlin was an amazing host and event organizer! She informed me that I needed to pick three meals and two starters for my menu. I had the room for 2 hours and it was so much fun! Checking out was easy and everything went the way we planned it. Would definitely recommend!!“

“Great dining experience! Celebrated my wife's birthday. Both the food and the service was top notch. We sat by the window which was a little chilly but not enough to make us uncomfortable. Everything we ate was fresh and tasty. We've been here a number of times before and always enjoyed it but this visit was especially enjoyable.“

“I've visited Paladar quite a few times in the past, but always for brunch. This was my first dinner experience with them, and we came on Cinco de Mayo so it was quite busy. However, our waitress Emily was great. She made great recommendations and checked on us a lot. Our entrees were quite delicious — my friend for the rum glazed pork and I got the lamb burger. We made small substitutions based on the recommendations and were very happy with our meals.“

“Can I give 6 stars!?!? Holy cow, did Goat’s Beard Manayunk NAIL it for my birthday party this weekend. Every single aspect of the party was on point and above expectations. From someone taking coats as soon as people entered to the speedy and excellent service of our waiter, Tim (amazing is not a strong enough word for him!). The food was delicious and all of the staff were accommodating. Everyone attending the party commented on how perfectly the party, drinks and food flowed. Thank you, Goats Beard for a simply flawless birthday party!“

“My sister and I went here today for the 1st time .We were so welcomed by not onlyMichelle the Bartender but by so many of the guest..Might have had something to do with my sisters Corvette ??None the less food , service guest alll spot on.We will be back???“

“This small restaurant is a deceivingly good place for some high quality seafood. The drinks were great, the food was delicious, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. If you’re in the area, it’s a little off the “main strip” of restaurants but totally worth trying!“

“We've always enjoyed coming here with the whole family. We came looking to make a reservation for an upcoming event. Manager Zee, Michael-owner, the chef, and all staff were all fantastic. The place has really been revamped since our last visit. The ambience is beautiful, the lounge is cozy, the bar looks very well set up, including the fireplace. The food was really tasty, just right portions and priced just right..complements to the chef! Looking forward to having a fab night again soon!“
