    We chose this restaurant for brunch prior to seeing a Saturday matinee of MJ The Musical at The Academy of Music. Great choice. The restaurant opens at 11 a. m. and I arrived about 10:45. The hostess greeted me and explained that they were just about ready and offered me a seat in the pleasantly heated foyer. That gave me time to see that this is an attractive, nicely appointed facility. Upon getting to my seat, I was greeted by Shekar (Please forgive me. I am sure that I have totally mangled his name.) who was very attentive and efficient throughout our stay. After my friend arrived, we both ordered soup. While both the sausage soup and the jumbo lump crab soup were delicious they were both a little too salty. For an entree, I ordered the shrimp and grits and she ordered a delicious looking crab cake sandwich. To my surprise, she liked the look of my dish so much that she ended up packing her sandwich to go and ordering the shrimp and grits too. We both stuffed ourselves with desserts. I had the superb chocolate cake and she ordered the key lime parfait -- both great choices. This is a perfect location for shows and events on or near South Broad Street. We will return. One final note: we thoroughly enjoyed what seemed to be a great Sound of Philadelphia soundtrack. It brought back so many memories.

    Food here is always good, although I wish they’d change the menu a little more often . Service was pleasant and efficient although last night the main courses were slow coming out of the kitchen.

    Giovanni, the waiter, provided an exceptional dining experience characterized by his remarkable attentiveness and skillful service. It was as though he had an intuitive understanding of our needs, anticipating requests before they were articulated. His efficiency in service delivery was noteworthy, and his professional demeanor established a respectful and welcoming atmosphere throughout our meal.

    They refused to serve the appetizer ahead of the main course. Tables were much too close to each other.

    We were late for our reservation because of traffic related to street closures because of the mummers parade. Arrived 20 minutes late and we were graciously seated. Always appreciate the service here.
