Tapas Restaurants in Philadelphia, PA

“Many months late but I owe this place a review. What a great experience.We did bar service, which in our case just meant being right up in the staff's faces while they cooked, but we love that vibe: ask about how your food is prepared, or why the recipe exists, or if they're playing around with an idea, and the folks at Irwin's (including the founder, Michael) will stop by and tell you all about their dinnerware, or why they do their caponata the way they do, or the relationship between Middle Eastern and Sicilian desserts. The drinks were amazing and the somm was super easy to talk to about the drink list. The mains were all very shareable - everyone wanted extra bites of everybody else's. And they're super generous. My dad had not had caponata and doubted he'd like it - caponata was my entry to eggplant done well so I disagreed. He won the argument, but Michael still sent over a sample. Plus the ambiance and decor are exactly what the BOK calls for and the views out the window are unspeakably cool. What a place.“

“Over the top experience. Everything was perfect.“

“Not child friendly need more option“

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

“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.“

“Great little spot with an eclectic wine selection and solid small plates. Sitting outside of Fishtown Social with a glass of wine is a perfect way to spend an afternoon in the neighborhood. Hopefully all the construction doesn't crush your vibe though. The staff is always knowledgeable and friendly and can usually point you in the right direction if you aren't the biggest wine drinker. Bonus points here when they have oysters. Check it out and enjoy.“

“Food was awesome as were the drinks!“

“Friendly service and great food. What more can you ask for ?“

“What an evening at Olea! Celebrating a graduation with close friends couldn't have been better than at Olea. The salmon was divine--light, buttery, with a perfectly crispy skin. The orange roughy was expertly cooked, harmonizing beautifully with the risotto and vegetables. Portions left us satisfied yet craving more. But the real star? The shrimp and fettuccine Alfredo stole the spotlight, disappearing faster than you can imagine--it wasn't just eaten, it was devoured!“

“RUN to Ninja Bao, holy moly the food was delicious!! I am obsessed with the beef scallion pancake (that is rolled up like a burrito and reminded me of pho spices a bit) and the vegetable gyoza!! Probably the best veg dumpling I've ever had. The philly cheesesteak bun and cheesesteak gyoza were also amazing and full of flavor. Soup dumpling was okay, but the wrapper was nice. I enjoyed the texture of the bao a lot, and honestly the cheesesteak bao tasted better than your traditional cheesteak imo. Chicken gyoza was my least favorite and not a standout. Overall, I would totally come back here to this underground hidden gem!!“

“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“

“Great variety of tapas to choose from. Great time!“

“Amazing Caesar salad and cocktails. Ordered two pizzas and loved one and wasn't too hot on the other. It wasn't bad at all - just not my flavor profile. The mushroom pizza (my normal go-to) is served with wilted greens that had an off flavor that was really bitter. Again: not bad at all - just not my vibe.“

“A nice place to hang out. The waiter was okay & the food was good but the desserts was delicious“

“Burrata toast and grilled octopus always good. Restaurant was out of all sparkling wine. The bar mixes a good martini with a curated selection of interesting gin. Table service is disappointing. Server disappeared for long periods. I had to get up and ask another server for refills and to order second course.“

“An amazing meal! So flavorful! Thank you so much!!!“

“Food was very good and we would return for the food again. However, service was sporadic. One entrée was brought out first second entrée brought out maybe five minutes later. Waited a little too long for our drinks to be served also. Service was friendly and courteous and stress will be going back. The food was very good.“

“Came in to watch the game and was surprised by the food and service. Lo my bartender was very patient and courteous throughout. I had the dry rub ranch wings OMG! Crunchy and seasoned on the outside and juicy on the inside. Great dipping sauce as well which added to the layers of flavor. My burger was the Swiss with bacon and a variety of mouth watery inclusions. Smash burger seasoned just right. I tried the love hazy IPA and it paired wonderfully. I'd definitely recommend and will return and try other items. Thanks Lou!Oh get the fries for sure!“

“Food was soooo good !! Highly recommend !“
