The dinner experience was exceptional. It is very rare to find a romantic location that had a very low noise level with a beautiful view and an experience for my date with marbled at the ship. The staff was very accommodating and allowed us to take a trip up top After we put our order in for our dinner. That made the entire experience magical for my date.

Really cool spot atop a pretty new skyscraper. Great views of downtown Philadelphia and the surrounding area, but the food was just as good! Will definitely go back on my next visit for drinks and dinner!

Drinks were strong, buffalo wings were perfectly cooked and not too saucy. The fries left a bit to be desired and were a little dry on the inside but not bad! They have a robust whiskey selection and the band was grooving all night. Definitely the place for a date, solo or otherwise if you want some good grub and a jazzy atmosphere
