Overall, it was a great experience. I had an anniversary dinner here with my wife, and we loved the food and atmosphere. The service was exceptional. It's out of our typical price range, but it is in the heart of Philadelphia, so it is to be expected. It was a night to remember!

I was there on Christmas Day evening. It was very busy and both the Kitchen and the front of the house did a really good job. My server was prompt and very attentive and my food arrived quickly and was hot and of good flavor yet I did not feel rushed. I live in the neighborhood and will definitely return.
