   You walk into a very soft lit and intimate space with cozy seating and a romantic setting. Greeted by our wonderful server in an appropriate amount of time with water. The menu is small but perfectly curated, creative dishes with delicate descriptions the menu is very enticing. Their wine list is precise and handcrafted to be complimentary to their featured dishes. From Old world to new they have the wine picks you can rarely find elsewhere. My first glass was the Catarratto, a skin contact from Italy. Gorgeous light orange tone with a mineral taste. Second was their red&white blend from France and my goodness this had to be my favorite. It was a funky artistic flavor with such a soft red color and good structure. Third was their Melon De Bourgogne, a French white, crisp smooth flavor that went perfect with the scallops. Overall if you want to try some new wines I highly suggest this place. Server was incredibly helpful in suggesting our pairings as well. Ok to the food, WOW. The smells you get from walking in are salivating. The Gougeres came with 4 perfectly round puff pastries stuffed with melted cheese. The scallops were super fresh, the ingredients paired so well together on the plate giving citrus/ nutty flavors. Highly recommend. Our main dish, the Ricotta Rosette was exquisite, from delicate plating to warm roasted mushrooms in a delicious sauce, this dish is a 10/10. To our surprise we were given the little neck clams and I can’t believe we didn’t order this ourselves. The steamed clams are in an aromatic broth with tiny chops of soft potato, with toasted sourdough and I could eat 2 plates to myself from how heavenly it tasted. Lastly the Pana Cotta; a perfectly sized dessert with supple texture, this was a perfect way to end our experience. Over all, this is definitely a restaurant you want to visit. 100000/10 will be back again!!!

   Maybe they were having an off day? Breakfast was not great at all. Very mediocre for the price and expectations. Disappointing.

   This cozy restaurant turns out great food and very good drinks. It’s noisy, but in a comforting way. The menu is varied blending ingredients in a novel way. It works. The service is attentive, but not rushed

   We love this restaurant! The food is consistently good, and the wait staff really professional and pleasant. Occasionally they get too cutesy with the menu (grilled cheese doesn’t need dressing up) but it’s a great restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

   I was excited to try the brunch here as I’ve stopped in for drinks which are pretty decent. However, the service here was so poor. I certainly understand when a place is busy and drinks and food take time to come out; however, our waitress couldn’t be bothered with us. It felt like a chore to ask for anything (nothing custom either). With a place of this reputation and quality, you would think the service would be delightful, however I just felt like we were always looking for our waitress - she didn’t deliver the salt until my food was cold. Skip here and go somewhere where they appreciate your patronage.

   Went to celebrate a one in a lifetime experience and left with jaw on the sidewalk. Words can only express so much. A must try in the city of Philadelphia. Will definitely be back before the years over!!
