Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Anthony Bonett

From the OpenTable editors: One of Philadelphai's most unique dining experiences, Moshulu brings diners aboard the deck of a more-than-century-old ship that's been docked on the Delaware for upscale seafood since 1996. The landmark restaurant, featured in movies like "Rocky" and "The Godfather Part II," serves up standout dishes like an “Admiral’s Plateau” of oysters, crab mac and cheese, and lobster frites.

    Moshulu is a 100-year-old sailing ship that has been turned into a restaurant. The ambience was particularly interesting and fun. You really feel like you’ve gone back in time a bit. But the food is what totally worth talking about. There were some dishes we had that were beyond compare. The octopus was recommended for an appetizer and it was incredibly and remarkably the best octopus I’ve had in my life. And I’ve eaten in a lot of places, including Greece. The second great dish was the crabcake entrée. Incredibly good. I like my crabcakes to be mostly lump crab, more than shredded crab and it met the test. The flavor was incredible. The only thing we really didn’t enjoy though it was good was a fried rice cake topped with tuna tartar. The tuna was great. The rice cake was a little too fried and crispy. A bit hard to chew. However, it was tasty. Definitely recommended for something that has both a sense of being a tourist and an interesting city, but also great dining if you have a bit of a foodie-style to your dining preference.

    Booked for 7 people. Was seated at a table for 6. Waitress did not offer to move us to a bigger table. We had to sit very closely to fit all 7.

    Brunch was delicious. Service was messy/disorganized but they were nice. I was there celebrating wife’s bday, and hoping to do a nice dessert, but as soon as we finished our entree, waiter brought us our check. So we had dessert somewhere else to celebrate.

    The appetizers and the striped bass entrees were good. The side dishes were nothing great and the entrees are too overpriced for what it is. The price they charge is elevated due to the ambiance, one can get a greater value eating higher quality in center city. I do recommend though to come by, eat outside, enjoy some cocktails and apps.

    Wonderful brunch experience! Beautiful surroundings, despite the cloudy and drizzly day. We had the ricotta donuts, lobster bisque, stuffed French toast and shrimp and grits. Everything was delicious! Our only feedback is that aside from the donuts, everything could have been hotter. Great server (Mike) took care of us for my birthday.
