The food and drinks were delicious, with a great selection to choose from. But what really stood out was the atmosphere - good vibes all around! And a special shoutout to the jerk wings... they were SUPERB! Perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. I'd highly recommend them! Overall, I'd definitely be back for more.

12 of Philadelphia’s outstanding spots for celebrating special occasions
Maybe you got engaged on the steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art or just picked up the keys to your first rowhouse.

It doesn’t have to be fancy. What makes an occasion special isn’t an arbitrary date on the calendar—it’s the decision to celebrate. Luckily, Philadelphia bursts with places where the food and atmosphere lend themselves to living it up. Grab dinner and a jazz show at a swinging North Broad Street faithful. Opt for a quieter night at a critically acclaimed, plant-based gem in Midtown Village. Or splurge on a swanky steakhouse that presides over a corner of Rittenhouse Park.
