Pretty good food for a bar ! Highly recommend the hazelnut goat cheese and portobello salad or the hummus plate if you’re looking for something a little on the lighter salad .

Amy Batog

Coming from someone who loves seafood , the lobster bisque and crab Mac n cheese were both on point ???? The service was great!

Tarryn Lester

Try the short ribs with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus !

Joe Sass

One of the best brunch spots in Philly. Environment is unassuming so the superb food takes you by surprise. Try the pulled pork sandwich . Its not always on the menu but ask for it and they'll make it. Read more

The best seating? A sturdy picnic table . The appropriate serving plate? A red-and-white paper basket. To its credit, the 3-course offering isn't billed as strictly authentic or traditional or genuine. Read more

To its credit, the three-course offering isn't billed as strictly authentic or traditional or genuine. It is billed rather as the fruit of the "research and experience" of chef Jason Seraydarian. Read more
