    Our server Sal was lovely and professional. He gave us so many recommendations and was patient with us. The entire meal was exceptional, and we will definitely return for more evenings both for cocktails downstairs at the bar and meals upstairs. Thank you!

    Fantastic atmosphere, stunning views, staff was friendly and food was very good. Although we had no time constraints, the pace was a little too leisurely, with multiple waitpersons providing assistance, but I could have managed the journey better on my end. Everyone enjoyed their meals and food was very good, but not quite memorable, although the prices approached memorable. I have been there numerous times, and I would go back go back, but I am left wanting for a little more value for the money.

    The quality of the food is quite high, but the place looks as if it opened in the 1990s and has not changed since. Loud acoustics worsened by Muzak. Service is quite pretentious, but haphazard. Wine selections are quite limited and mediocre. Come for the food and ignore the rest.

    Not sure what happened to this place. I’ve been a customer since the concept opened with Scott in NYC. This food last night in Philly had zero finesse, literally piles of crap on the top of the proteins, poorly sliced fish and water in the bottom of my lobster dish. Not recommended and light years from the original concept.

    Always wonderful to have a seat overlooking Rittenhouse Square to go along with a great meal. The service, the seasonal vegetable salad, and the scallops were particularly notable.

    Was seated immediately, and put in drink order in reasonable time. But then took forever to get drinks and bread. Waiter mentioned bread service when pouring water then literally took about 30min to get drinks and bread while watching other tables have 2 servings of bread in that span. Also had to watch server check on other tables but essentially never checked on us unless he was bringing us something. So very frustrating Valentine's Day date night. Once first course came out the rest of pre fixe menu was served in a more reasonable timing, but just didn't feel that special of a dinner.
