   Really wish this spot wasn’t closing down. Had such a positive experience and would love to become a regular. Our first time dining here was memorable and I hope all the staff find new jobs that satisfy their needs in no time at all. Best wishes!

   Food was excellent. Ambience lacking they stuck us in very cold bar area. Would love to be more romantic. Waiter was ok, no personality. I’d go back again but request dining room area

   Very very disspaointed. We are in Philly 4 times a year to visit family. It is such a great foodie town. Devon was recommended and disappointed us Our drinks arrived together. When the other couple ordered theirs only 1 drink came out. The second drink arrived after our appetizers. Food ok, nothing that would bring me back. WORSE BAKED POTATO EVER. If you cant get that right take it off the menu. And you charged $12!! We sent it back the first time. Embarrassed to send it back a second time. Not sure. How you can mess that up. Service was ok, nit great for the pricey venue. Had to look for our waitress several times. She forgot a lot of things, no sauces for shucked oysters, then those arrived with no serving spoons. Did not give everyone fresh silverware. Has to look for her to get check. The food is not worth the money or the calories. I also made this reservation 30 days out. Requested a booth Hostess told me we could have a booth with chairs. That not a booth. And there were many of them so not sure why our request wasn’t met.

   Service was sketchy. Server told me app was not at all spicy. It was minuscule, expensive, overcooked, and extremely spicy. She did not accurately describe an entree selected by our friends dining with us. They raved about their dish, which I would have ordered with a correct desciption.

   Will miss this restaurant in Philly location. Seafood is always on point. Missed the snapper soup that used to be on the menu. The bar was under stocked ostensibly because of impending closure. But bartender was able to mix up nice cocktails. Tuna and Sea Bass were top notch

   Food was extremely salty. Lobster was overcooked, chewy and stuck to the shell. Service wasn't great. Entrees were fired before we were finished with our appetizers. We were seated at a table that was probably meant for cocktails and small plates. There was barely enough space for the bread service and our appetizers, which made it more awkward when our entrees arrived.

   Drink was suppose to be table side smoking BUT didn’t happen. BlackBerry Margarita was refreshing with a little kick of spice. Crispy rice roll was on point. Sushi came out without chopsticks and the server was mia. We had to get up and ask. Biscuits didn’t come out so we had to ask. Disappointed we couldn’t sit in the downstairs area which we requested. The hostess couldn’t get it together. First said we had no reservation and then found it after 7 minutes.

   Service was actually phenomenal for Harry. Food was great as well. Trying to come back again before the 30th. So sad to hear about the rent. One of my favorite dinning options in the city by far. Thank you and God bless

    We had to wait more than expected for drinks and than for food. It was noisy so it was kind of difficult for conversation.
