“I'm giving 5 stars because I don't like to bash people/businesses. Wanted to get some pasta to go. Didn't eat in or take out because prices are way too high for pasta. Wanted to buy a bottle of wine but the $$ of the food turned me off. Please think about cutting prices in pasta dishes, I believe you will benefit immensely if you do!“
“Unbelievably good. The food is fantastic and the service is even better. We had a wheelchair in our party and were well accommodated. Highly accessible spot.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp in doors allowing you to get to any seating area.“
“We found this gem about a month ago and came back for another dinner last night. Everything was wonderful. Cozy dining room, although the volume can get a little loud depending on the crowd. The staff were charming and attentive. Nice cocktail and wine selection. The food was absolutely delicious! We will most definitely return.“
“My wife and I dined at Osteria for a special occasion and the experience did not disappoint. From the moment we entered the door to the end of our meal we felt welcome and cared for. Our meals were exquisite. This is easily my favorite restaurant in the city now. Bravo to the Osteria team, Chef, and the host Kyle. We’ll definitely be back!“
“Barcelona Wine Bar Passyunk is a full vibe! Absolutely loved my experience here and will be 100% returning.Went for an end of week, much needed, girls night and arrived at just the right time. Make sure to make a reservation because it gets crowded quickly. Fortunately, the staff is so excellent that I saw them handing out free tapas samples to the people who were waiting! Instead of focusing on pushing folks out the door, they focused on making sure that the wait experience was spectacular!! ???? I was absolutely impressed!We had a great server, Tabs, who absolutely knew her stuff; nailed every wine recommended! Going here just for the wine is absolutely acceptable because it’s SO good.For food, we ordered a charcuterie board, a few tapas, the paella and a chocolate cake for dessert. Out of the tapas we ordered I recommend, the Patatas Bravas, the Albondigas and the Croquetas. The charcuterie board was also a must. Unfortunately, not all the food was great, the paella was a miss and I honestly recommend just sticking to tapas, they are filling enough.All in all, wonderful chill experience that I look forward to again. It’s not a full 5 stars because the food had some misses but drinks, service and ambiance 5/5!“
“The chicken was so tender and delicious that I really wanted 3 more helpings but went for the amazing butterscotch pudding dessert! The Brussel sprouts were crispy and deliciously tossed in balsamic vinegar reduction. The pasta was served perfectly al dente which ever sauce you chose. The pomodoro sauce was just superb! It was just a little tight but otherwise the atmosphere was great as was the staff!!Parking: Best to park in the lot just off of 3rd and Bainbridge as trying to find a spot on the street is near impossible. The lot was convenient and close by, less than a block away. $15 for as long as you want on Saturday or Sunday or weeknight after 5pm. Worth it for the impeccable cuisine!!“
“In from va beach for vball tournament. Local friend showed me around and I was lucky enough to land here. The short rib with asparagus and potatoes as side was nothing other than amazing. My 2nd favorite meal over 51 years of life. The only reason there is one piece of Rib on plate is because I couldn't picture the next day without the taste.“
“I have only good things to say about this place. I thought at first it was a little odd to have steak tartar served with fries but the pairing was actually really good! Everything was amazing. I have never had such a complex gnocci dish and it's probably the best I've ever had. The scallops were perfect. Mussels, snails... all of it. Everything was just amazing; I cannot stress that enough. I can't wait to go back!“
“Great spot for Happy Hour (lasts until 6pm), and love that you can make a reservation in advance. Service was friendly and attentive but not overbearing. They were quick to clear things which was helpful since we were at a small table. Atmosphere is cozy. We got happy hour drinks (rose, red, and a Venetian spritz) as well as two of their cheese boards. The Gorgonzola stuffed figs were a bit intense as the name might suggest, but we liked what they had otherwise. Spritz was $9 Wines were $7 Boards were $9 each“
“Stopped in from out of town. This is exactly the coffee shop you're looking for. Quick and informative service. Roasts and pulls well executed. Food was super delicious with a full spectrum of options and flavors over an uncomplicated menu.“
“For someone who never leaves reviews, I HAVE TO with this place. For starters, our waiter Matthew (Matt) was so fun and comfortable. Loved every second of his atmosphere. SECONDLY, the food was to die for. The kona rub steak has been on my mind since I ate it. Price was phenomenal when you get a beautiful seat, amazing food, and fun energy. 10/10 RECOMMEND“
“We had a great experience at Tulip! I want to come back every time they rotate the menu to try the new dishes. Our waitress told us about the family style option (forget exactly what it was called but it was $55 per person), so we went with that so that we could taste a bunch of dishes. Best gnocchi I’ve ever had. And the food didn’t feel heavy, which was nice. We loved sitting at the bar and watching the chefs, who were not only skilled, but also kind, which made the whole experience even more special. Thank you!“
“"Small plates" that actually aren't so small, small menu but which is expansive in flavors, and perfectly curated drink menu. Staff were welcoming and charming. When you dine here before dark, the sunlight beautifully illuminates this window-filled intimate space--such a lovely feeling. We particularly enjoyed the eggplant stewed in spicy tomatoes served with g thick cut toasted sourdough bread, the slow-cooked cod with fancy beans, and the grilled squash with brown butter--that sauce was a spiritual experience!“
“Visiting Philadelphia over Easter. Ended up at Prunella Sunday afternoon. The Honey Fitzgerald cocktail was amazing! Ordered the Caesar salad which was a great surprise to the tastebuds, and the pizza was just so damn delicious. The service and atmosphere was perfect. Had dinner the previous evening at The Capital Grille, but I enjoyed Prunella for the casual feel and experience we had. Prunella will be first on my list when visiting Philadelphia next. I just loved everything about it!“
“This place has the best cozy vibe in the winter. Perfect for a date night, especially if you're celebrating something. I loved the tasting menu. Everything was delicious and felt very fancy. The cocktails were also delicious and our server was amazing. The only qualm I have is that it was pretty pricey.“
“Never disappoints. Tria has excellent light fare, and the wine, beer and cheese always provide a new experience. The staff is super friendly, and VERY down to Earth; they don't expect the customer to be an expert and genuinely enjoy teaching/explaining the varied menu selections. With a few locations in Center City, Tira is an excellent stop for a pre-night out, mid-evening monotony breaker....or a capper. Some locations can get a bit tight on elbow room...but worth it.“
“The Rittenhouse Grill is was truly elegant and romantic. Live piano set the mood. Beautiful ambient lighting. Not to loud to converse. Our table order Ribeye steak (12 oz) Jumbo Lump Crab cake. Our sides were sautéed mushrooms, creamed spinach, roasted brussel sprouts and Corn. Just wonderful and delicious. Drinks were always filled up! Loved the excellent service and the kindness from the waiters and servers. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who loves elegant fine dining experience.“
“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.“
“I’m really on the fence with this review. The service and ambience were great. It’s a trendy little neighborhood bar with good music and good people. Three draft beers with common names and off we were to our table. The beer is brewed offsite but it’s Meeting’s beer: love that. However, the food left much to be desired. The bread and butter were good, fries were done right but the clams and Turkey BLT…meh. The clams were so chewy…I mean like, super chewy and I could not cut into it with my teeth. I had one: full stop. Now ordering a Turkey BLT, one should not expect the moon but since there’s about 7 - 8 things on the menu I would hope that each dish is done to near-perfection. It was not. It was essentially basic. Did I eat everything save for the clams? Yes. Would I go back? For sure. The service, people and beer are worth another pass. And I’ll definitely try another dish but I won’t go hungry. Live music would definitely draw me back in!“
“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.“
“Love the atmosphere here, it's lovely Great for coffee or tea Love getting a glass of wine or cocktail with friends in the PM Breakfast offerings need to be more extensive Dinner menu changed and not for the better Friend and I were just there and enjoyed the atmosphere and wine/cocktail but there was absolutely nothing we wanted to eat for dinner on the menu“
“I hosted my 30th birthday at Jet back in November 2023. The service was extraordinary. From the start, communication with Jet was timely, helpful, and easy. Emily, the manager, was a delight to work with and even made little menus for my guests. The bar packages were extremely reasonable and I was allowed to bring in my own decor and birthday cake. We selected the drink package with a signature drink and the red wine mule was DELICIOUS. The snacks were a hit and everyone really enjoyed the drink options. Adam, our bartender for the night, was so friendly and helpful! I can't say enough about how wonderful Jet is, and I'm so glad we have such a great local spot close-by.My husband and I are also members of the wine club at Jet and they have such a fun wine selection and newsletter. Jet regularly hosts creative events and are such a benefit to the neighborhood.“
“The romance of it all! The candlelight! The seasonal cocktails! The frosted coupes! And tapas style dishes that will make you want to try everything on the menu! The best damn crudo in town. I will die on this French hill. Go here when you want a well curated and tasteful escape or to have an intimate convo with a dear friend.“
“Great place. Outstanding avant garde selection of records to purchase paired with a cafe, bar, and live music venue. Incredibly friendly barkeep who only added to the experience. Stop in to listen to a rotating selection of vinyl records whilst having a pint of local beer. Or just have a coffee. Wonderful space which deserves a hat tip.“
“Bloomsday brunch is supreme. I got a vanilla oat milk latte and it came out creamy and delicious. Our server brought the days fresh baked pastries out in a display basket that screamed delicious. Finally the food was high quality and seasoned well. My mushroom sandwich really was friggin delicious. Our server was really sweet and attentive. Will be back ASAP!“
“My partner and I went on a weekday around 9:00 pm and there was a crowd because the place was great! Delicious appetizers, and great wine tower options, and the main meals were decent. I love the personality of the place, feels very homey yet high-end. Our server was very polite and ensured everything was to our liking, it was only her 2nd day and she seemed like a pro. Of course, the only negative is the location makes it difficult to find parking, so we uber to this place. The price was reasonable, pastas between $27-34, entrees between $28-45, cocktails $16, and wine flights/towers between $34,-44, It was not a decent price for 2 people.“
“Second time coming here because the vibes are relaxed and cute surroundings! Had some amazing orange wine with baked Brie, galettes and creme brûlée. Everything was amazing and I can’t wait to come back for more! Our server Sam was an absolute gem as well and took great care of us. 10/10 will be back for their wine selection, service, and small plates.“
“Had to check out this new spot while visiting Philly and am so glad we did! We reserved for couch seating before the required minimum fees start at 10.Service: initially very attentive but as the place got busier the drinks sometimes took awhile. Not a big deal. It was a little weird sometimes when 1 or 2 drinks would come and not the rest or the order but I know they were just trying to get them out.Drinks: we didn’t get any food so can’t comment but cocktails were decent. I wouldn’t say amazing but pretty good and I liked them.Music: two guys sang cover song hits from the late 90s to now. They really tried to rally everyone. They were ok singers and would take singing breaks occasionally and then dj music for awhile. They were fun and entertaining.Vibes: Its a fun place! Good for celebrations, and a friends night out or date night.There were a few bday groups, then some girls who work there come out with sparks, lights, and signs to announce the bday. Theres bar length seating, a bunch of high tables, and about 7 couch areas. When we went I think all the tables had been reserved and there were still some bar seats open. Then there’s a dance space by the stage. It’s a smaller place than I thought it would be but I think it makes it classier in a way. Its nicer inside than I anticipated because I was thinking more Austin style live music venue.I will definitely go back the next time Im in Philly and look forward to seeing new musicians/ singers. Getting couch seating was everything! With a group its key to reserve one.“
“This is a great place for happy hour, especially on day with nice weather! My friends and I sat outside as this place is situated right on Fairmount Ave, so it's great to just see people walking around (and lots of dogs lol). I ordered the mango paloma which was super refreshing! I also had the spicy chicken sandwich and I loved the potato bun and gochujang sauce on it. The prices were also super fair for happy hour. Definitely recommend!“
“First time back at this spot since they re-opened. Service was excellent and employees were friendlyA double cheeseburger w/fries, and a plain club soda cost me over $30 (pre-tax and tip) that's a bit crazy even in this day and age. When asked if I wanted fries with my $22 burger I didn't expect it to be an additional $6 charge... That said the food was good just felt it was overpriced for what it is.“
“Great quality of ingredients, travels well, and enjoyed the Brussels sprout white pie and sausage pie. The “crust” is very thick focaccia bread, which is a unique version of a pizza, and the sauce is kind of dolloped on - definitely not a standard pie. It feels more like a fancy and delish app that you’d share at restaurant rather than a pizza, but a good option none the less!“
“Had a great Easter brunch here!! Unlimited buffet and got a $45 fizzy mimosa to share which was a great price for what we got!! So much food to stuff our faces and the bottle of champagne was GIGANTIC! We didn’t go for any shows or anything but did hear all the laughter and fun coming from the show area! 100% worth it to visit, such a great experience“
“Decided to go there because it was in Adrian's in Rocky. The experience was beyond any of our expectations. The food and drinks were amazing, steak was fantastic, cocktails were excellent and dessert was great too. By far the absolute best part of this place is the staff. The opera singing was out of this world. This place is an absolute gem“
