   Haven't been to Popi's in a couple years, but was happy to see it is still really good and maybe even better. The bartender made me two old-fashioned's. The second one was "smoked'. They were great. The only one thing I would point out is that they should use better cherries. Not a fan of Marachino's for an expensive drink. We ordered the calamari for appetizer. Nice and crispy and not chewy at all. Good amount for two people. The trio filet that I ordered came cooked to perfection and all were nice sizes. Service was timely, but not rushed and the ambience, being a Tuesday night, was on the quiet side. Definitely enjoyed the dinner.

   The customer service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive and very friendly and understanding. The food was subpar. The salad was wet, soggy and welted. The fish was overcooked and dry. It was supposed be the special of the day. The food taste was bland and the drink was not mixed well. We end up leaving and going to another restaurant for dinner. The calamari and mussels were tasty. If you’re looking for a light snack.

   Weve been stopping here for dinner whenever we’re in Philly, about 2-3 times/year. This time, however, I was disappointed because they removed the tablecloths. To me tablecloths make a meal special, otherwise it’s like eating in a deli or diner. Good food but a disappointing atmosphere. I hope they bring them back.

   Excellent service and meal was fantastic. We drove three hours for an encore at Popi’s and it was well worth it! Will be back again.

   Great selection of entrees and appetizers. Veal marsala was phenomenal along with the homemade gnocchi. Alison was a very attentive server as we were dining prior to a Flyers game. Would highly recommend to anyone else.

   Palm Sunday early dinner for a friend and I. She enjoyed her ravioli, while I ordered the asparagus soufflé special, which had a bit of crabmeat with it in a delicious light sauce. I also had the appetizer portion of eggplant rollatine, which was excellent. My only comment to Popi's is that they should offer a small tossed salad with an entree. Their prices are a bit on the high side, and a small salad would be appreciated and add to the value of dining there.

    All good. Food , service, and cleanliness. I’ve eaten at Poppy several times over the years and would highly recommend it for anybody coming in to Philadelphia or even people in the neighborhood. It’s nice also because there’s a big parking lot in the back and you don’t have to worry about parking your car.
