   Horrible service. Being that it was a nice night in the city we tried to just be patient and go with the flow. But we only saw our waiter once, when he took our order. The food runners brought us our food…which wasn’t what we ordered, and we saw the waiter pass us multiple times and never bothered to ask if we needed anything or how everything was. Finally I flagged him down for the check. We would have ordered another round or two of drinks while we sat there had we been tended to. The food was good though. We love Philly. I probably won’t be back though. Sorry Brandon but you need to step your game up!

   Really slow service when we arrived, then waiter forgot about our table entirely and we had to call him over to get the bill after an hour of being ignored. The quality of the food has also significantly declined and was disappointing compared to previous experiences here.

   First time visit here, but have gone to La Minette and Gabi many times. Food was just as good and a very cool space. Noisy, but not so bad you couldn’t carry on a conversation. Plenty of choices for a friend with food sensitivity.

   This place is special. We dined there on mothers day and were greeted with a huge smile by Liz, the GM. She is as friendly and helpful as it gets. She helped us plan and execute our wedding last August. We then saw another familiar face, Henry who we had sat with at the bar a few times who helped us and made us laugh for hours. Our server Anthony was one of the best we have ever had at any restaurant as he and Liz explained all the new items on the menu and helped us make our very tough decisions as to what to try on this first visit this spring. We had the French onion dip and the cheese curds for appetizers. Both being gluten free, if I am not mistaken, but you would NEVER know. The marinara served with the cheese curds is amazing they were was fresh and crispy with a bit of basil flavor added. The dip was actually refreshing and not too heavy with scallions on top and house made chips. Then for entrees we had the chicken fried steak which was delicious and I had "the bird" which was their fried chicken sandwich, as recommended to my by Liz. The sandwich, though fried, was actually light and clean. Sometimes friend chicken sandwiches can get greasy and be heavy- this was quite the opposite. The house mayo and pickles really made the sandwich as well. For drinks, I love the pinapple and sweetness of The Pharmacist, bourbon, honey, and pineapple. My wife had one of the new espresso martines which was on TAP. This was smooth and creamy. I actually woke up the next day wanting to go back for one. This place is amazing and its not even warm enough for them to get the Beirgarten outside going. I cannot wait to go back for live music and to see these wonderful and friendly people who have never once disappointed. We are so glad we got around to writing a review as tribute to the food, ambience and especially service that we always receive there. Before dinner was done we began making plans to go back with friends of ours in a week or so!

   The risotto dish was undercooked, making the risotto crunchy; the mushroom toast with oysters tasted like french onion soup without the soup plopped on top of baguette; the food was so so for the price; drinks were good but really really expensive... Bar tender friendly, and good; waiter was friendly and efficient, good service...

   We had a lovely meal. The staff was very accomodating, pleasant & courteous. Anthony and Henry were especially welcoming and very pleasant to converse with. We especially appreciated the absence of blaring noise that drowns out conversation. There could be just a touch more light at the table to ease menu reading and eating.

    After having difficulty finding the building and parking (even though we were there before), one of the drink specials, a Vesper, eliminated the previous anxiety! My friend had a linguine and seafood special which looked good. I had chicken Milanese. I love Milanese and often order it. This was one of the best, topped with arugula. A bad start turned into a happy ending.

    One chicken dish was cold on the inside while the outside was hot. Our wait staff apologized profusely for an understaffed kitchen. Appetizers took a very long time to be served and came out with the main meal; about 50 minutes after order was placed. We ordered 3 steak meals but kitchen only had 1. Highly overpriced for the service and food quality.

    Truly terrible. Items that sounded interesting on the menu were ridiculous- example the "Pickles" which was described as a variety of homemade pickled vegetables. For $9.00, I was surprised that it was the equivalent of a side of pickles that you would get for free at a hoagie shop. The $15 asparagus appetizer also had a great description on the menu but came out as a plate of brussel sprouts. In addition, our waiter was MIA for very long stretches at a time. When we asked questions about a cocktail on the menu, he was snarky and told us that he didn't drink. Other than the ambience, this was a really bad experience.

    Loved the building. Trendy. Would have tried the Biergarten but it took us too long to find parking. Absolutely fabulous waiter. But… almost everything was over cooked. Charred pub burger - so overdone parts were crunchy. Cheese curds so over fried, actually the bread coatings were black, that even the waiter mentioned it. Pork chop over cooked too. The funny thing was that the Brussel sprouts were actually undercooked and hard. It’s a fun atmosphere, great setting, and if we were in Philly more often we’d probably try to give them another chance.

    Went here on a first date and the staff was incredible. The host who sat us was very friendly. He knew it was a first date and came over a few times to check in and was very welcoming. We both had salmon for dinner, it was cooked medium rare/rare which we were not used to. The waitress was very understanding and friendly when we sent it back and brought out the replacements very quickly. The salmon dish was delish as well as both of our appetizers (oysters and grilled octopus).

    Food was just, eh. The pickle plate was the most lack luster dish I have ever seen. It looked like a plate of burger toppings schlepped together and tasted how it looked. Server was unenthusiastic and suggested nothing when prompted. Love the location and the space and wanted to shrug off the service part but it over all just felt sad.

    The food was extremely salty - neither of us could finish our meals due to that. We also had a very unpleasant experience with both the server and the manager when we tried to ask for a glass of wine to be taken off the bill as the entire glass spilled on the table. I was told that it “wasn’t their fault” and that “I should be more careful in the future”. It was $98 for two of us to dine, we weren’t looking for a handout - we just thought the restaurant believed in common courtesy. Either way, there are plenty of amazing restaurants in the city, so I have no reason to ever return to this one.
