- WWayneVIPPhiladelphia County •13 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFirst, you can't beat the ambience of this 4-masted sailing ship turned restaurant built in 1904 docked on the Delaware waterfront in Philadelpha. Add to that superb cuisine and service and it made for a memorable Valentine's Day dinner (a day late), Baked brie appetizer was excellent and large enough to share. My wife's scallops and my Alaska halibut were similarly outstanding. We both enjoyed the 2019 Mosel region Riesling that went well with dinner. To top it off, our server was one of the best ever. The Moshulu is not cheap but not outrageous, especially for the quality. If you drive there, parking is $20.More infoMoshuluPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Penn's Landing•4.6
- DDarianNew Jersey •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFood and service were outstanding. They were running a bit behind with seating even with reservations, which is understandable in my opinion given the busy holiday and the Eagles parade. They gave us complimentary champagne for the wait, which was greatly appreciated. Cocktails were amazing and delicious. Filet and lamb were excellent, cooked to perfection. The crab cocktail could’ve had a bit more meat for the price, in my opinion, but given how expensive seafood has become and how tasty it was, its understandable. Overall great place, great for Valentine’s Day, and will definitely be back one day!More infoOcean Prime - PhiladelphiaPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Center City•4.7

It did not matter that my date could not make it on this particular socially interpreted holiday. It was a night that melted my heart in so many wonderful ways. I am sharing this experience with everyone I know and whomever I meet. A perfect place to enjoy for all of your plans. I am looking forward to the "CHEERS" feeling again and again. This was no coincidence. Enjoy!More infoThe LovePrice: Expensive• American• Rittenhouse Square•4.8
