Such an amazing time here! Came to celebrate our friends birthday! The waiters we had made the experience even better! They were so much fun the whole evening, joking with us, giving us incredible recommendations! Such an awesome time!
Fantastic service, rich and warm ambiance with comfy seats, and wonderful food!!! My partner and I were in town for a few days from NYC and wanted to find a spot that had good seafood, steak, and comfortable seats. After a quick Google this place came up and we decided to give it a shot - and we did not regret it!! The steak was great (no notes) but the real stars of the show were the scallop appetizer, the cauliflower side dish, and the gruyere + chive bread popovers that came free with our meal. Everything was seasoned to perfection. The overall ambiance was also lovely - dim, romantic lighting with just enough spotlights to enhance the food and tabletops. Loved the soft couch seating in lieu of hard dining chairs as well. The service was wonderful as well. It started out a bit rough because they made us wait 15 mins even though we showed up right on time for our reservation, and didn't offer any updates while we were waiting. However once we were seated, our waiters were attentive and went way above and beyond!!! My partner has a sesame allergy and so with every dish they brought us, they assured us there was no sesame in it. I ordered the chocolate mousse dessert that I knew I wouldn't be able to finish so I asked if it transported well so I could bring it home. Our waitress, understanding the concern, took it upon herself to personally scoop it into a takeout container to make sure it would be as intact as possible. Overall, a wonderful night. I'll definitely come back here next time I'm in Philly!!
We celebrated a family member’s 70th birthday there. A fantastic experience. Our part ranged in age from 13 to 71. Everyone was able to find menu items to eat. Gabe our server did an outstanding job. The food was exquisitely prepared. We spent almost three hours there. Staff from the hostess stand to the sommelier were exceptionally polite and helpful. Kudos to you all.
This is a high end, prototypical steakhouse. Servers are knowledgeable and attentive, wine selection is very good and steaks and side were all very good (rib eye for me, filet for herself). The server timing is good and you are not rushed at any time. We often wait to get out appetizers before ordering the mains and here you don't have to do that, they'll take care of. Prices are high but not out of bounds for this level of restaurant.
