    Every dish was perfect. Our server Erica was incredibly attentive, made excellent suggestions, and truly helped elevate the experience. Every dish that came out was immediately consumed down to the last morsel. The drinks were exceptional. The ambience magnificent. We’ve eaten at 1 and 2 star restaurants and this place is on par. Bravo!

    Wonderful pre-Orchestra experience! We had the pre-theatre menu, although the restaurant week menu was tempting. Our service was smooth and well-paced, so that we enjoyed our dinner without feeling rushed or stressed. Food quality and variety was excellent. We all enjoyed different items : grilled octopus, spanakopita, branzino, lamb chops, moussaka. All were well-seasoned and nicely presented. The wines by the glass were interesting and great value. We will definitely return!

    We visited on a cold, blustery Wednesday evening for Center City Restaurant Week. We arrived a little early before our reservation, so we sat at the bar for a drink and an appetizer. The ambiance is stunning. High vaulted ceilings, romantic dim lighting, and beautiful architecture that creates a warm, vibrant atmosphere. Our bartenders were personable, attentive, and knowledgeable of the menus. The oysters casino were delicious! I haven't seen oysters prepared this way before, like clams casino. We were promptly seated at our table downstairs in a cozy booth. Our server Erica was wonderful, checking on us frequently and meeting every need we could possibly have. We ordered off the Restaurant Week menu, 3 courses for $60, which is a great deal. The dynamite shrimp were our favorite! We could have made a meal out of that appetizer. they were sweet with the right amount of kick. The meatball was very good as well. My 8 oz filet was outstanding! A beautiful cut of meat cooked to perfection that melted in your mouth. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his double bone in pork chop, a substantial cut of meat. The sweet potato casserole was to die for. We ordered without marshmallow. For dessert, we ended with the chocolate mousse and butter cake. The chocolate mousse was very good and rich. I would highly recommend the butter cake. It was lightly crisp on the outside and creamy deliciousness on the inside. Portions were small for dessert but perfect for one. The coffee to accompany our dessert was hot and rich like I prefer. The manager rounded on patrons, making sure everything was perfect. As I am writing this review, I am plotting when can I go back? It was a perfect evening and we left very pleased and happy. This restaurant is good for couples, groups, and single diners. I would highly recommend for a beautiful night out.
