Food is terrific! My only knock on the place is you can't get a regular beer.

I would have to say that the atmosphere of this place is great; always busy! But, the food could be better, especially for the prices. I don't mind the american and asian fusion, but the food can be better in my opinion.

Great menu, food and service, but wine and spirits way over priced.

I ordered Killer Shrimp with a glass of pinot grigio. The dish name says it all. The only part missing was having my gorgeous wife with me.

Food is great, but a little pricey. It can get loud at times but apart from that a good place to dine.

I’ve been here for brunch and happy hour. Great breakfast menu and the food is spectacular. The rooftop is a must see. The only issue is that you have to go all the way to the basement to use the restroom and you aren’t able to take the stairs to exit out the first floor. The happy hour food is great, but the drink offerings and discounts are thin. Something to be aware of: the “dirty double” martini is not actually a double, so that’s kind of misleading. Service and food are great though, so I definitely still recommend checking this place out!

Best BBQ pork tacos you'll ever experience. Cheesesteak egg rolls flavorful,very filling, and with the same high quality steak you'd expect from any respected cheesesteak spot in the city. Again, the tacos literally explode with flavor. You get these two items you can't go wrong.

Great atmosphere, a Philly classic. Summertime upstairs or down it's afterwork and weekend fun. Bar is very good but a bit more limited than I would expect, they do a good gin ensemble though. Servers are adorable and the layout is still cool after these years. Bathroom situation is super sketch, but it's from a time when this is the way it was. Worth a trip.

I moved away from the Philly area about five years ago and was so surprised to hear that they took the Champagne-o-Rama off the menu! I brought a group of girls in after brunch and they didn’t have it on the menu or the ingredients to make it. This was a staple! Otherwise fantastic, but please consider bringing it back.

Unique experience. The booth seating was like sitting in a car with a bench seat, very comfortable. They also have suspended seating on the second floor that I've never seen before. The food was good, i had pad thai. While not the best pad thai I've ever had it was enjoyable. The menu selection supports a nice set of types of dishes, the appetizers are where they excel though. You have to try the corn fries, french onion balls, and mustard fries.
