- KKimPhiladelphia County •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThe ambiance was relaxing and the decor was stupendous! The food was extremely flavorful as we tried the appetizers and no entree. So collard greens, warm beans and chicken lollipops were all prepared magnificently. But we will be returning to try entrees at a later time. The drinks were very tasty, including the mocktail! The service was very attentive but not overwhelming. The level of music was quite unassuming, so conversations were held without any issue.More infoFia PhiladelphiaPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Center City•4.4
- GGordonPhiladelphia County •59 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoI had reached out to the General Manager, Mr. Blackmon several weeks in advance to inquire about having a discontinued menu item available for our table. He was very accommodating and when we arrived we were assured that it was prepared for us. I want to thank him for his assistance in making our evening especially special. The service, as always, was very special. Very attentive but not hovering. We never felt rushed and we were left to enjoy the company of everyone at our table. Our table greatly enjoyed several of the appetizers and our menu selections were done perfectly. We had an excellent evening and again, thanks to Mr. Blackmon and his staff!More infoOcean Prime - PhiladelphiaPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Center City•4.7

- UUzoCharlotte •1 review5.0Dined on Oct 14, 2024Drinks were strong, buffalo wings were perfectly cooked and not too saucy. The fries left a bit to be desired and were a little dry on the inside but not bad! They have a robust whiskey selection and the band was grooving all night. Definitely the place for a date, solo or otherwise if you want some good grub and a jazzy atmosphereMore infoTimePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Center City•4.4
