Restaurants in Philadelphia

“Excellent Food & Amazing Service 👍👍”

“IT WAS AMAZING WTF ELSE DO YOU NEED?”

“It was an unforgettable dinner. The moment I stepped inside, I felt as if I had been invited to a close friend’s or family member’s home for a warm, intimate meal. The space is small, cozy, and wonderfully personal. The two chefs prepared and served each course with perfect timing, offering fresh, beautifully crafted dishes one after another without a single moment of dullness.

It was a joy not only to taste the food but also to watch the careful, thoughtful preparation behind every plate. The flavors were excellent, the progression of courses felt seamless, and I left with that perfect feeling of satisfied fullness.

There is no doubt that this restaurant fully deserves its Michelin one-star rating. A truly memorable dining experience.

The only thing I found disappointing was that, although I mentioned it was our wedding anniversary when making the reservation, nothing was acknowledged at all. The staff’s prepared guests’ birthday cakes, special party hats, cards and even a moment where the lights were turned off so everyone in the room could celebrate together. In contrast, our table didn’t receive even a simple mention of our anniversary.”

“Great food, music, and service!”

“What is the specialty of this sushi restaurant?”

“Not kidding. Our table of 4 ordered nearly everything in the menu. Each bite was delicious, balanced, nuanced, worldly, fresh, and inventive. We ordered a second dish of the carrots, and also the cukes. Dessert was outstanding. Interesting wines, including a chilled Croatian wine that paired well with every dish. Definitely returning. Soon! ❤️”

“The pizza was phenomenal!!!.”

“First time there, excellent food.”

“We ate here for the first time and I think this is the best place I’ve ever eaten. The staff was super friendly, they were very accommodating to my gluten allergy, and the food portions were huge. I really enjoyed everything. I wish they would open a restaurant on the Florida Panhandle or honestly anywhere within 8 hours drive of us.”

“I think I probably have had just about everything on your menu, and I loved everything. I also like that Stina is not pretentious.”

“Killer cocktails! We will be back!”

“The Love. was simply incredible! We came here with our 6 year old son. Our waiter was fabulous and very accommodating to our 6 year old which you don’t always find in Rittenhouse. The atmosphere was light and airy and the food was great! Make sure to try their Dubai Chocolate Sundae and if you’re going with children they do have special kids cups and will accommodate the menu for them.”

“Great restaurant - highly recommended”

“The Food was Fresh ad Incredible”

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.”

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.”

“This was a pleasant find on Christmas Eve, made single-handedly better by our waiter Fathi. Everything was delicious and his hospitality was unmatched. We had way too much to eat and can’t wait to go back.”

“Awesome menu, great vibes and really tasty food. Must try this place.”

“I had a great brunch. Loved the atmosphere. Food was excellent. I’ll definitely be back”

“This is my new favorite spot! The food is incredible and the drink menu is on point!”

“Absolutely stunning dinner at Pietramala. The chicory salad with cashew cheese and smoked olives was sublime and hands-down the best salad I've ever had; the cacio e pepe, also made with cashew cheese, was fantastic, with beautifully fresh handmade pasta cooked to perfection. The black pearl mushroom with potato was transcendent, smoky and caramel-y with an amazing texture and served over amazingly rich but light mashed potatoes. We also loved the crimini carpaccio (beautifully presented, loved the citrus notes) and hazelnut ice cream and enjoyed the nonalcoholic cocktails, which were herby and refreshing without being sweet. Possibly the best restaurant I've been to in almost 20 years as a vegetarian/vegan, and really nice ambience and great service as well.”

“I love this place, great food, lots of flavors to explore. wonderful staff, and seeing the owner front of house and behind the line was a beautiful experience 🦋. I cannot wait to come back and eat here again! 😀 Traveled from Utah to come eat here! (plus visit my son, that surprised us with reservations) a must visit if you get a chance to go! 🦋”

“The food was wonderful as the service was fast. I couldn’t believe the check. Extremely reasonable for all you get. I’d definitely recommend Kanella to anyone”

“Love this little spot! The drinks are super fun and inventive, and the food is delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful with any questions about the menu, and the space itself is a 10/10. Also a top notch playlist. No notes.”

“Outstanding service and dining experience. Phenomenal food. BYOB!”

“A very good restaurant. I enjoyed the food.”

“Unique food, cozy, candlelit atmosphere. Our group enjoyed it tremendously. Highly recommend.”

“Not child friendly need more option”

“Great covered outdoor patio along with tasty food - perfect combination.”

“We love Monster Vegan! It is our favorite spot to go! We have been going for years and it has always been amazing! Best vegan food ever! Everything about this restaurant is incredible! From the decor to the friendly staff! The drinks are out of this world! If you are a horror fan and love great vegan food this spooky fun place is for you!”

“The recommendation came from a family member who when on vacation with his family ate there back in 2018. He was able to track it down from customers pictures and the dinnerware that was used. It's easily accessible from the Christmas market just down the street. Everything about this restaurant was fantastic. Our waitress was very energetic and friendly. The ambiance was very nice and the noise level very acceptable. The food however was absolutely above and beyond other Italian restaurants we've dined at. The portions were more than adequate, and it ended up being enough for our dinner the following night. Great place and romantic atmosphere as well.”

“Yes, it is actually open 24 hours. I have no idea how they do it considering how massive the menu is, but I’m so glad it exists. You can get nearly anything here - pancakes, smoothies, burgers, hoagies, gyros (which I highly recommend) - and watch them make it right in front of you. They’re pretty much always blasting music and in a silly mood. Doesn’t matter if it’s 4pm or 4am, the energy in this place is unmatched.”

“Prices are very reasonable. Staff is very friendly. I’m deaf and both windows were good at getting me my order and food. I’ll be back!”

“Super great service. Breakfast is amazing anytime of day.”

“Found at an MSP. I travel a lot and this was a great solution for a fresh evening meal. Pleasantly surprised by the Pesto Chicken Pasta salad! 🥗”

“My friends and I decided to go to Parks On Tap at Columbus Square Park and we had a great time. The drinks were the best part but the food was nice as well. The staff was very hardworking!”

“Café Albania is truly a gem! My wife and I make it a point to come here every Sunday for their incredible Albanian coffee, and it’s become one of our favorite weekly traditions. The coffee is rich, smooth, and authentic—just the way it should be. It’s the perfect way to start our Sunday.

But what really sets Café Albania apart is the exceptional service. The staff always greets us with a warm welcome and treats us like family. There’s a genuine sense of care and hospitality that makes the entire experience feel special every single time.

If you’re looking for a cozy spot with top-quality coffee and outstanding service, Café Albania is the place to be. We can’t recommend it enough!”

“Their prices is very reasonable for a case of cupcakes, and even cakes that you would see in a regular supermarket are reasonable. And the taste is amazing. Definitely recommend this place.”

“Matzo ball soup is the best I've ever had. I only eat it from here! The open face turkey platter is so delicious I always get it from here. This is me and my mother's lunch date every time we go shopping or doctors appt we stop here to eat!”

“It was an nice medium sized event space. It was very beautifully decorated for my Sister's Bridal Shower. She enjoyed it from beginning to the end. There are two bathrooms in the back. They offered us the back too but I didn't get to see back there. But very nice people who own it here. The parking is limited and the place is easy to miss if you're not paying attention. It has a colored gated door entrance. The parking is on either side of the block. But they rushed to get us to end the event which was weird and unprofessional. But still a very nice place...”

“Tried the chips and guacamole while waiting for a friend who is getting a surgical procedure done. Everything was super fresh and delicious. I’m picky about guacamole but this was so good! I also got the white cheddar cheese cubes, they were also very good. The salads all look amazing, I wish I had tried one of those as well. I wish more places had one of these vending machines!”

“Came in from Atlanta for my family reunion. On Sunday we had our annual cousins day with crabs. The crabs were great! I bought two bushels!!!”

“A very pleasant semi self serve offering dining inside or out was just the ticket for weary travelers----- And I don't find their prices at all out of line, as an example they had an iceberg lettuce good sized salad at the self serve for five bucks; a long with many other premade temptations. The daughter enjoyed a generous sied freshly made pepperoni . And my "Soulful Sunday Dinner" was scrumptious! Half a chicken baked and bbqd' served w collard greens and black eyed beans and don't forget the cornbread. The staff were all very helpful and the dining room was a Disney Animators Palette!”

“My new favorite spot. Blows the other 2 popular ones out the water”

“Always great sound and lovely staff. I wish the patrons knew the amazing artists of international venues and genius they were enjoying, Josh wink is a God and I'm grateful I got to be present”

“It’s such a treat to find such a rare gem of original Mexican barbacoa in Philly of all places!”

“Amazing definitely go try rainbow or cotton candy. Great sized!”

“First time I'm here. My daughter brought me. She said that the coffee was excellent so I tried a cappuccino and it was good and she had a cold brew. We didn't buy nothing to eat but what I saw seemed quite nice. I would really highly recommend”

“An extensive variety of tapas restaurant with a good selection of wines and outdoor seating area. A focus on fresh, all crafted with the finest authentic ingredients. **Wine Selection**: A curated list of wines which achieve recognition as the "Best Organic Wine List" in North America in 2023. **Ambiance**: A cozy, inviting outdoor patio with comfortable seating, perhaps with Spanish decor and ambient lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. **Service**: Knowledgeable staff who can provide recommendations on food and wine pairings, and who offer friendly, attentive service.”

“Best pretzel I have ever tasted and at a great price!”

“I recently celebrated a milestone birthday with a dinner at Elwood with family and friends. Chef Adam and Jenny were wonderful to work with and the meal was absolutely delicious. Everyone loved the venison scrapple amuse bouche. We shared several orders of perogies and cheese platters to kick off the meal, followed by a couple of orders of the tri- tip beef, the sea bass, and the rabbit, which are served family style with a whole host of accompaniments, including exceptional mashed potato that got rave reviews and deserves it's own mention. Several of the diners had never had rabbit, but they all tried it and it was a hit! I already have plans to come with some friends for an afternoon tea, and my husband and I will definitely be back for dinner and/or one of the dining events that Chef Adam hosts. Adam & Jenny, thank you for my birthday dinner one to remember!💖”

“My husband is a lifelong Texan and we recently moved to Philly from Austin and have been searching for good breakfast tacos to no avail, until we found Taco Heart. He loves the Troubadour and the Carrine’s Fave. They have excellent options for me as a vegetarian, too. The migas…chefs kiss! And we love the brrrchata.

But the real thing that makes them taste like home is the green jalepeno sauce. It’s impossible to find. But they make it perfectly!!”

“Both the food and the service are Excellent.”

“Ordered a hand-tossed cheese and a hand-tossed white pizza, and both were excellent! Delivery was super fast, and the pizzas arrived hot and crispy on the bottom with perfectly gooey, flavorful cheese on top. The white pizza had just the right amount of garlic and richness without being too heavy. Great experience all around — will definitely be ordering from Circles + Squares again!”

“It's an above-average deli, but they try to jam too many tables into the terrace area. You have so little space that it really affects your eating experience, and that's especially annoying when prices are so high. The baked items are good, not great (huge portions though); the herring in cream sauce is truly excellent.”

“Great food, good service and reasonable prices”

“Each dish, from first course through dessert, was almost indescribably delicious. That had my family sharing our plates all evening. The servers, especially Jonah, were friendly, very attentive, and helpful. A wonderful dining experience.”

“We did the tasting menu and were absolutely blown away by the exquisite flavors of each course. The wine pairing complemented each dish perfectly. The staff and chefs were exceptional as well.”

“Always a must stop when staying in Philly! I crave their cold sesame noodles!!! The fried dumplings are excellent as well!!!”

“Fresh and light with just the right amount of spice on a hot summer Day!”

“Awesome speakeasy style bar. Small (15ish tables plus bar space) and doesnt take reservations. Got lucky that there was a table open when we walked in as it was the last one. Booth was comfty, mood lighting was romantic, music was a bit odd for the setting (latin-ish vibes) but not distracting. Drinks were great, had the bartenders choice which resulted in a good interesting drink. Lots of liquor options too and snacking food looked solid.”

“A truly special and magical place that still exists. I hope it lasts forever. One of the beacons that keeps Philly unique. Looks like more tavern from the outside. Has these awesome musical notes bike locks. Live music. Incredible beer and shot specials. Crazy cool interior. Awesome bartenders and patrons. Protect this place at all costs.”

“It’s very tasty there, we always order from them when going to center city, definitely recommend!!”

“Great atmosphere, friendly service and tasty food.”

“Excellent friendly service and some truly remarkable food. Highly recommend.”

“Run, don't walk to Helm. . .Great service, food is delicious. Don't tell anyone. You might still get a seat.
Inovative chef. Wonderful combinations.
Great guys and gals making it all happen.
I was introduced to this fabulous place from a local friend. How lucky he is to have this in his neighborhood.

Billy From Philly”

“Food so good I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. Delicious drinks. Definitely coming back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Everything was so good. No fishy or stale flavors. Staff were very friendly and very informative on all the different types of sushi. Will be coming back. The A5 Wagu Uni hand roll was amazing!”

“We had a few different things off the menu and shared. Everything was amazing. All of the ingredients were fresh, the servers had great recommendations, and the service was prompt. We will definitely be back in the warmer months to enjoy the outdoor seating.”

“Awesome experience! Great food! Excellent service!”

“Great vibes, good food, good people.”

“Bad Brother is one of the best neighborhood bars and restaurants in Philadelphia. I love to take friends and family there for not only their selection at the bar and a delicious and creative menu, but the service and atmosphere are just what you need to feel at home while also enjoying your time out. Get yourself some wings, a burger, and a sausage sandwich! Add a Caesar salad that you won’t regret, either.”

“Been eating there since I was a kid with family in the market. Now live in Key West for last 30 years but specifically make sure each time I come up to see family I go to Villa Di Roma, clams casino, asparagus, gravy and the people there that run it all family. Amazing piece of the food history of the Italian market that is a must try anytime.”

“Waitress was very knowledgeable about the cuisine. Other staff were friendly and courteous. Food was excellent, tastes wonderful and plated beautifully. The interior might remind you of an old time elegant railroad car with curved ceiling, crystal chandeliers, etc. great place for special occasions.”

“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.”

“We had a good, not great meal here. For the price (which was considerable) we were definitely expecting a bit more. The cocktails were great and the service great, the food was a bit underwhelming. We went with the tasting menu instead of a la carte and found the dishes good, but not anything particularly special. They were very accommodating with an allergy which was very nice. I'd like to try the bar menu but probably don't need another dining room experience.”

“My first French cuisine experience did not disappoint. My son and I enjoyed a lovely meal and cocktails orchestrated by the best staff - Chef Clay, Beau (our server), and Alex(Bartender). From the first course I knew this was going to be one of, if not the best, dining experiences thus far in my lifetime. I highly recommend that everyone take the time to enjoy this fine dining establishment. You will not be disappointed.”

“Our first experience at a James Beard award winning restaurant (2017) and chef was incredible at Vernick Fish in Philadelphia to celebrate Trent’s graduation! I know now what this caliber of food and service means and all other restaurants pale in comparison to Vernick Fish and Greg Vernick(semi-finalist chef 2025). From the appetizers (dozen oysters from RI, MA, ME, PEI) to the drinks and main course were all uniquely exquisite and cannot be replicated anywhere else. The constant doting with new silverware at each course and cleaning of the table was undeniably royalty treatment. Even the bathroom was an experience-I need the hand lotion in my life (instantly made my hands look 30 years younger). The portions, ambiance and service were all equally perfect! I highly recommend you check out Vernick Fish. We will definitely return!”

“This was one of our most memorable dinners of 2025 so far — everything we ordered was delicious.

We started with the marinated tomatoes with stracciatella and the focaccia, then had the Thai basil tagliatelle with crab and the breaded pork chop as mains, and finished with the corn brûlée and blueberry pâte à choux for dessert.

The marinated tomatoes with the focaccia were an excellent pairing, and the tagliatelle was a surprisingly delightful fusion — spicy, flavorful, and very well balanced. The pork chop was excellent too: juicy and flavorful, though slightly undercooked near the bone. The corn brûlée was fantastic, while the pâte à choux was the only dish that didn’t quite hit the mark.

Overall, the food was outstanding and the space was very cozy. Our only wish was for slightly better ventilation in the restaurant, but otherwise, it was an amazing dining experience.”

“Unparalleled classy dining experience! 10/10 recommend!”

“Perhaps the most magical dining experience we have ever had.... each and every time we've been there. Rachel creates unique, delicious, complex, surprising, beautifully presented vegan gourmet five course meals that are served by Ibo and Sally with kindness, skill, and passion. Magnificent anniversary celebration. Cannot wait to go back.”

“Worth every penny IMO. If you're looking for an omakase experience that is both interactive/educational and a good mix of classic/inspired, this is the place for you. Kudos to Chef Andy for his hospitality and expertise! So nice to have an elevated experience without the supercilious elitist attitudes. Will be back!”

“The Bok building is a magical place, but go to the roof and eat at Irwins. The food, drink, and service was outstanding. The outdoor rooftop seating has a beautiful view of south Philly. Our reservation was outside. During our experience it did rain a bit, but it was worth staying. Our server was a trooper for keeping the patio goin. At night during a Phils/Eagles game you can hear the crowd roar. Electric.

The food and drink was great. There are Mezze, Pasta, Main Entree and Dessert options. I assume the menu is seasonal based on the ingredients, but I am unsure. There is a cocktail menu, wine offerings and full bar. I didnt have time to even take pictures of all the food and cocktails we were enjoying it soo much. We ordered about half the menu and will be returning to order the remaining items.

Dessert is worth it's own mention. At a lot of places, dessert is kinda a throwaway/pass. Not at Irwins. I told my wife we will also be coming back to Irwins solely for drinks and desserts next time we are eating somewhere else close by. We got the Milk and Honey Pistachio Gelato and an Almond Torta Cake that should be nominated for some kind of award.

I would recommend making a reservation. If the weather is nice, eat outside. Tell your spouse you are taking them to a Sicily Roof Jawn for dinner.”

“We didn’t get to eat at Zahav - but got the next big thing and ordered the Lamb Meal from gold belly with salatim. It was DELICIOUS!! Best lamb we have ever had, so delicious. Salads were yummy, hummus well done and could easily feed 6 adults. So. Much. Food. If you can’t make it to the restaurant- order the kit from Goldbelly and treat yourself!”

“My friends and I had an amazing experience at Fabrika! We went for my birthday after hearing great things. The show and performers were spectacular. Very interactive and entertaining. The food and drinks were also delicious, and our server was so accommodating. And at the end, they open the dance floor, which is so fun! 10/10.”

“Incredible experience top to bottom. Server was incredibly knowledgeable. The plating had character, the food was delicious and the ambience made it a very special evening for us. Highly recommend.”

“You will not be disappointed, from the ambiance, the friendly, professional service and the delicious food!”

“I recommend everything about Barclay Prime from the food, ambience and staff!!! Made our anniversary dinner super special thank you Josh for you fabulous hospitality.”

“Fantastic dining experience! The staff was exceptional and the food was out of this world. The tasting menu was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect.”

“My evening at Morimoto‘s will be the best memory of my visit to Philadelphia! If I was a local, I’d be in to have their Wasabi Watercress Caesar salad at least once a week. Brilliant! Service was excellent, all the food was lovely, and the restaurant itself, with its soft jewel-tone colors and wave-like forms, was a delight to be in.”

“We love Herman’s Coffee both as a business and a customer. They have good coffee and a great environment to start your day!!! +love their collaborations with small businesses 🤩”

“Rhonda came through for my daughters 21st bday party! Called her on Thursday for a Saturday late day delivery… top notch, on time delivery but best yet… amazing mini cupcakes…baked on Saturday delivered fresh!!! The cupcakes were so flavorful…each one was mouth watering!!! Thank you Rhonda @seconddaughterbakingco 10 out of 10!!!!”

“Decent Tacos. Not super filling, but the flavor combination is good. Medium priced,$13.50-$15 for 3 Taco. The prices on Google are wrong as well as the the old menu picture. The Churros are the best I ever had in my life though”

“SUPERB - great coffee, worth supporting!”

“Good food. Good service. Enjoyed my time here . Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back to visit again. The waiter was very accommodating to my needy party.”

“There’s an original and authentic atmosphere of Vietnamese food here. The service is not sweet but efficient. The beef, beef tendon and tripe were very very tender! Love it”

“Everyone who was working there was genuinely friendly and the food is amazing. I definitely recommend the wild mushroom toast.”

“My first time having their food which came highly recommended from a picky foodie, like myself! We did takeout which was fast and the young lady was extremely nice. The vegetable rice, sweet chili wings and shrimp rolls were delectable! Not one complaint! I will definitely be back!”

“We love the croissant and bagels! Can’t wait to try more yummy things next week! And it’s AMAZING to have delivery.”

“Food was delicious! Good vibe!”

“Staff are friendly service is great. Pizza is excellent. Got a shirt too. Highly recommend.”

“Loved dropping in here on a Saturday. Very relaxed vibes walking in here, perfect for a relaxed meet up, coffee or quick bite. My wife and I ordered the Ume Plum Tea, Vietnamese Latte, Khang’s Special Banh Mi, Crispy Tofu Banh Mi, and Doenjang Butter Fries. The Ume Plum Tea is so unique, and their Vietnamese Latte is the best I’ve had. Their food portions are big, and will definitely leave you full. Highly recommend this place!”

“A nice spot, rather informal but still fun. We split the lamb glaba, which was fairly good, and the fahsah, which came with large flatbread and was really good. You do have to pay for water. Our server was helpful and easy to talk to. Overall I'd say its a fun ethnic spot to visit. They did some weird stuff with the bill- I think they charged the credit card tax ahead of time on everything regardless of payment method, so be aware of that.”

“Some of the best Matcha latte and coffees in the city of Philadelphia. Tiny space with a great vibe. Don't count on seating. Take your beverage to Washington square.”

“best loaded fries you can get, the honey one is 🔥”

“While our food was excellent, the service was terrible. No refills. Dropped our food and walked away. Didn’t ask if we needed anything else. Maybe our server was having an off night but when at other tables it didn’t appear so”

“I was looking for roast crispy duck. I didn't want to go to Chinatown because its gotten rundown, yucky traffic, expensive parking and horrible SEPTA. I decided to stay in my neighborhood so I could walk. I worried about it being expensive. Chestnut Hill is high end and the restaurant looked pricey. What a WONDERFUL SURPRISE! I was a solo table but still treated like a queen with lots of servers checking in, giving water and smiling. The roast duck in black bean sauce on the cast iron plate was SCRUMPTIOUS. It comes with a healthy side of white rice and delicate, flavorful bok choi. The skin was crispy yet NOT oily or greasy. The CHUNKS of tender duck meat were excellent. The sauce was thick, savory and yummy. FOODGASM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The portion was so healthy that I was able to take a container home for lunch the next day. Then I ordered the Mudslide ice cream pie for dessert. PERFECTION. Dense, creamy, sweet but not cloying with nut accents, fresh strawberries and cream as garnish. Cool treat on a humid Summer night. When the bill came, I was shocked that it was less than $40. I did not order a cocktail because I wanted to concentrate on the food. I gave them a big tip and said I am absolutely returning. I am also addicted to their spring rolls too. Two perfect crunchy flaky rolls filled with a balanced combination of shrimp, cheese, and cabbage that you can dip in duck sauce or mustard or just enjoy plain.”

“food is good, large portions and lots of options”

“The best decision I made was throwing a surprise 60th birthday party at Chickie’s and Pete’s on the boulevard! The party took place in a private back room that held 30 guests. Shout outs to Prima, the party planner and Frank, the server. My guests were very impressed with the atmosphere, menu selection options, and attentive service!! I highly recommend holding any celebratory event here.”

“Amazing definitely go try rainbow or cotton candy. Great sized!”

“I'm just rating the name. A star will be deducted each time ICE passes by without being mooned.”

“1)wonderful food and a goodly portion.2) BYOB 3)Not cheap but reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. Hits the Restaurant Trifecta!!!”

“Try the shrimp and grits, delicious.”

“Perhaps the most magical dining experience we have ever had.... each and every time we've been there. Rachel creates unique, delicious, complex, surprising, beautifully presented vegan gourmet five course meals that are served by Ibo and Sally with kindness, skill, and passion. Magnificent anniversary celebration. Cannot wait to go back.”

“Fantastic!! Queso fundido with chorizo served with flour tortillas was amazing. The birria tacos are definitely worth getting again. And the drinks were delicious and delightful. The Sangre de Bruja and the Purgotorio!!!”

“I am a lover of crab legs and they have the best food,”

“My siblings and I had ate at the Chinese Restaurants on Germantown Av. The place was small but the food was definitely delicious. I give it a 10 and will go back again”

“Great place very nice people wide selection of drinks safe place to visit .”

“Love this place! The food is amazing and the drinks are fun! Its a great spot to have girls night or office party. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable as far as the menu goes. If you have an issue they are quick to fix it. Its always a fun time!”

“It's my first time eating from this restaurant (I got take out) but I cannot find a single fault from the experience. Keep up the good work!”

“We ate outside at Parc mid-afternoon today to celebrate our 61st anniversary with our family, including our granddog. Our meal was luscious throughout, though we were too full for dessert❣️I must say, the highlight for me was the tomato tart, which was delicate but hearty, and totally scrumptious. Thanks for a wonderful meal, and as always, we look forward to our next visit.”

“You will not be disappointed, from the ambiance, the friendly, professional service and the delicious food!”

“La pasé increíble el día de mi cumpleaños”

“What a great cheesesteak!! Best I ever had!! Wit Whiz!!!! Keep up the tradition and great service!!”

“What a charming little restaurant! I sat at the bar on a work trip for an early dinner, which they actually have a menu for! Prices are reasonable for the city, and 4-6 is happy hour so I came at the right time for great prices and drinks and appetizers. Would definitely recommend! Plus this is walking distance to many nice hotels downtown. Only 5 min walk from the Kimpton Palomar! Would recommend calling ahead to ensure availability.”

“They have an intercom which is clear to let people know who have never been which window to go to and also tell people when their orders are ready. The pick up line could have been more smooth and fast paced. The food thought was delicious and full of meat. Would love to go back next time I’m in town.”

“Just wrapped up a "steak-out" at Geno's Steaks in South Philly legendary landmark that draws tourists like moths to a flame. Or me to the Bat signal. And let me tell you, this place is a Gotham-sized slice of Philly flavor! The fluorescent lights and bustling energy felt like a scene straight outta Joker's Gotham night club. I went with the classic "Whiz Without"—that's Philly code for a cheesesteak with Cheez Whiz and no fried onions, for all you Bat-fans out there. One bite, and I was hooked. The thinly sliced steak, melty cheese, and soft roll created a symphony of flavors that would make even the Penguin surrender his lunch money. But Geno's ain't just about cheesesteaks, folks. Their cheese fries, ordered from the separate window where you get fries and sodas, are a gooey, delicious crime against healthy eating. Coke products available to drink. And Cherry peppers, relish, ketchup, and mustard are free and self-serve. While I devoured my feast, I couldn't help but notice the wall adorned with police patches from across the U.S. – a tribute to the thin blue line that reminded me of my own crusade for justice. Snapped a pic in front of it, a symbol of the shared fight for good that unites us all. Overall, Geno's Steaks lives up to its legendary reputation. It's a taste of Philly history, a tribute to the everyday heroes, and a cheesesteak experience that'll leave you saying, "Yo, that was good shtuff".”

“Wait staffers very helpful with menu”

“Incredible food and service. Definitely would come here again”

“ATMOSPHERE WAS GREAT FOOD AND STRAWBERRY 🍓 TEQUILA”

“Very cool restaurant located closet to Rittenhouse Square. We went there for Sunday brunch and ate in the enclosed upstairs patio area. We had the monkey bread, the pastrami fried rice and the bagel with lox. Everything was excellent and our server was wonderful. I think her name was Sally or Sailor.”

“Had an amazing experience. The ambiance was warming and sitting next to the water was really beautiful. The server did a great job and was very friendly. The food was delicious. Can't wait to come back! Would definitely recommend!”

“SkyHigh truly feels like dining at the top of the world. The ambience and views from the top of the city are incredible, and the service was attentive and professional. A great spot in Philly.”

“More than anything, I desire the success of a restaurant as the dedication, time, and passion required to achieve success is not simple. Good food and good service are essential, but having good parking is also crucial. The extra effort of finding parking is worth it, as great food and consistency are key to success.

In this review, starting with the parking situation, it is quite challenging to find a parking spot at this location. Although there are side streets and a second street available, we had to park three blocks away, which was not an issue for me. Personally, I enjoy the exercise but for a higher-end restaurant, valet parking may be necessary. Partnering with a local lot would greatly benefit this location, especially for those who may have physical challenges.

This was my first visit to this restaurant, and I must say it is quite beautiful. The decor is tastefully chosen, accompanied by wonderful music. The bar area is very nice with comfortable seating, and there are high back booth seating along the walls. The seats are incredibly comfortable, something that some people may overlook. The table setting is luxurious with bone china or porcelain plates, linen napkin service, and classic stemmed water goblets.

We ordered mimosas, and a carafe along with flutes was brought to the table. Classic large four-tined table forks and knives were also provided. For the entrees, my two friends decided to order the stone-ground blue grits with petite greens, and Mississippi Fried catfish, which they both enjoyed. The portion size was quite generous. My companion ordered the king salmon served on top of warm fingerling potato salad, sautéed spinach, and mustard marmalade, which she found delightful. She also ordered a side of smoked turkey collard greens, which were perfect.

As a vegan, I opted for the avocado toast without the poached egg. It was beautifully made with a perfect avocado fan sprinkled with red pepper flakes, Black Eyed Peas caviar underneath, served atop seven grain toast, and garnished with cherry tomato halves. Two things that were missing were the microgreens and breakfast radish, which I only noticed the following morning when reviewing the meal. Attention to detail is crucial, especially with the accessibility of local markets.

The dish was delicious, and when we requested lemons on the side to squeeze over the dish, it enhanced the flavors even more. This meal deserves four stars but could easily be a five-star dish if it were complete. For drinks, we shared mimosas and I also ordered a Savannah glow mocktail with peach, lavender, and lemon topped with a dried lemon wheel, which was delicious. The dessert menu was not available online, but we shared a peach cobbler with a cinnamon sugar crust topped with vanilla ice cream, which was perfectly executed and left us wanting more.

The service was excellent, with Rachel providing exceptional service and Chef Issac showcasing his culinary talent. We look forward to returning for dinner in the future.”

“One the best experiences we've ever had. The food and service was amazing. Highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an exquisite dining experience.”

“Had a great meal and an even better experience at Mana – Modern Chinese. The standout of the evening was the Shiitake Bao — pillowy buns filled with perfectly seasoned shiitake mushrooms. I could easily eat a whole plate of these!

Next up was the Jade Harmony Fried Rice, a vibrant vegetarian dish wok-tossed with fresh mixed vegetables. It was flavorful, beautifully presented, and definitely another highlight.

For the main course, we shared the Clay Pot Braised Salmon — slow-braised in a soy-infused broth with ginger, scallions, Chinese broccoli, basil, and bell peppers. This dish was a favorite among my dinner companions, with the rich, aromatic broth complementing the salmon perfectly.

The only slight miss for me was the Forbidden Ribs. While the ribs themselves were tender and well-prepared, the sweet-sour balsamic soy glaze wasn’t quite to my taste — so that may just be personal preference so I don’t see as negative.

Overall, Mana delivers an elevated and creative take on modern Chinese cuisine. The service was top-notch, the staff attentive, and the atmosphere comfortable. I highly recommend visiting — and I’ll definitely be back!”

“Everything we had was so tasty. Pasta special was delish. What really sure was the chips and dip. Some of the best homemade chips and upscale onion dip I’ve ever had. Super awesome and a must try. Would def go back for more food and it was definitely on a higher level than other restaurants.”

“Excellent pizza, can't wait till we get back to Philadelphia, so we can go to CJ & D's Trenton Tomato Pies. We live in Illinois and have eaten pizza all over the country. This is one of the best pizza I have ever had.”

“When I saw this was an exceptional dining experience, I mean it. The food, the ambience, the staff was beyond reproach. Inventive, fun dishes executed with pride and attention to detail. I hope that you go, because this place deserves the love and attention.”

“Best bakery in Philly?? Love the food so much that I've done a catering order for a friend's mehendi as well as our own housewarming. Everything's mouthwateringly good: the sweet and the savory! And the customer service is extraordinary!”

“It's my first time eating from this restaurant (I got take out) but I cannot find a single fault from the experience. Keep up the good work!”

“Griddle & Rice literally one of my favorite go to spots. The chicken rice plate and dry noodles are my favorite! The matcha the offer is BOMB. Get here early to dine in other wise it’ll be a bit of a wait. Love it here.”

“This is my new favorite spot in old city! Everything is so good… from the burritos (both breakfast and lunch/dinner), matcha (with the horchata!) and tacos!! The customer service is a 10/10 as well. I get something at least once a week since it’s right around the corner. I’ve done takeout and dine in - the quality is the same for each. Well priced too! Highly highly recommend!!”

“best loaded fries you can get, the honey one is 🔥”

“The chicken pot pie is awesome!! I've been stopping by the Lehigh Ave. location and the staff are always very nice & friendly!”

“I've been in Philly 16 years, and eaten at every major fine dining restaurant in the city, many more than once. Amada, Zahav, Budakkan, Vernick Fish, you name it. Every Stephen Starr. Every Michael Solmonov. Every Jose Garces. This is the best meal I have ever eaten in my life. The carrots, the beets, the mushroom taglioli, the tuna tartar, the beef carpaccio tartlet, the duck, the liver mousse, the steak...I could go on. Every single bite was either perfect or nearly so. Both of my daughters and my wife said the same. We talked about our top dining experiences in Tokyo, Paris, St. Petersburg, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Miami, Chicago, there have been so many, many good meals in our life. We just found one of the greatest. Thank you Emmett. We look forward to our next visit (once you fix the ramp). -Stephen”

“Finally! Philly gets a high end sushi restaurant that is actually good. Rolls were very fresh and tasty. Seared scallop special was so good and unique. My husband loved the dry aged salmon flight. Tony our server was very attentive and did an amazing job. Highly recommend!”

“Absolute neighborhood gem. Fantastic Neapolitan-style pizza with a thin crispy base and chewy fluffy crust. Excellent, friendly, and PERSONAL service. Plenty of vegan options for plant-based pizza lovers!! A real treat and a fantastic start to any evening in Passyunk. So happy!”

“Love this spot ! Wish they didn’t change their winter hours to 9am though. 8am works well with my gym routine and work schedule :(. Otherwise everything is great”

“This restaurant is tiny but mighty! The food is amazing, one of the best dishes in the city is the hoe cake and the mee caton. Also, the service was amazing, especially for a new restaurant. Every server was friendly and knowledgeable. I had two separate dinners here about two weeks apart from each other and everyone from the host to the person refilling the water was great! If you can get a reservation to this place, drop everything and go!”
