- MMerleevipPhiladelphia / New Jersey Suburbs •212 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoIt has been many years since my last visit to the Restaurant that was in the Hotel so I'm writing this as a first experience. Initially my first impression was the energy on a Thursday night and sure enough every table was taken and several set up for later diners. There were 2 of us at a very small table for 2 but other than that our waiter was extremely helpful from cocktails to menu choices and then giving us separate checks that we forgot to request. Will ABSOLUTELY return!!More infoRosalie$$$$• Italian• Wayne•4.5
- OTOpenTableDinervipPhiladelphia / New Jersey Suburbs •115 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had an absolutely outstanding experience at The Refectory. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and smartly laid out. The atmosphere is lively without being intrusive. We shared a bunch of small plates and everything was fantastic. I highly recommend the bacon dates and tuna pizza. The mushroom toast was also a hidden gem and not something I would have ordered but it was suggested to us by our waiter and I'm so glad we did. The bread was light and fluffy with just the right chewy texture- you could really tell it was homemade. I had a "clockwork" cocktail which was refreshing and just sweet enough. Seriously, cannot say enough great things about this place! Thanks to Gina the manager for the last minute reservation and a great night celebrating my birthday!More infoThe Refectory$$$$• Contemporary American• Villanova•4.6

Maybe you got engaged on the steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art or just picked up the keys to your first rowhouse.

Discover Philadelphia
No longer just NYC’s 8th borough, Philadelphia is a well-kept secret, especially when it comes to food. Sure, you can still get a cheesesteak or its lesser-known, debatably better cousin—the roast pork sandwich—but the restaurant scene has taken off in recent years, with Israeli, vegetarian, and Spanish food in the mix. The provolone-lined cheese shops of eras gone by exist in bigger, better versions and the large, welcoming brasseries that dot Rittenhouse Square make you feel like you’re in Paris. Reading Terminal Market pays homage to Lancaster County’s Pennsylvania Dutch fare, with a bounty of pretzels and apple butter, while local bakeries, baristas, and breweries set a high culinary bar for the City of Brotherly love.
