- DDenisePhiladelphia County •26 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoFood was really good, but having to order food at the bar just made it a disruptive dinner! I feel like I won’t go back which is a shame because like I said the food was good as well the drinks.More infoMcCall Collective BrewingPrice: Moderate• American• Allentown•4.9
- PPattiPhiladelphia County •16 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoFirst time in the heated greenhouse and would definitely dine there again; nice atmosphere. Only suggestion would be to get higher chairs. Just a bit too low. Server was great, even suggesting a beer he thought I’d enjoy (and he was right!). Had the Burger of the Month (Mediterranean w/Greek yogurt and feta + diced cuce salad) that was cooked as ordered- YUM! Fries are always tasty, if a bit too salty. You really can’t go wrong dining at Union and Finch. Good kitchen, bar and waitstaff, consistently good food, lively atmosphere!More infoUnion and FinchPrice: Moderate• American• Allentown•4.8

It doesn’t have to be fancy. What makes an occasion special isn’t an arbitrary date on the calendar—it’s the decision to celebrate. Luckily, Philadelphia bursts with places where the food and atmosphere lend themselves to living it up. Grab dinner and a jazz show at a swinging North Broad Street faithful. Opt for a quieter night at a critically acclaimed, plant-based gem in Midtown Village. Or splurge on a swanky steakhouse that presides over a corner of Rittenhouse Park. Whether you’re after an intimate spot for an anniversary date or a convivial atmosphere for a boisterous reunion, Philadelphia has you covered with these 12 celebration-worthy restaurants.
