- LLynnPhiladelphia County •17 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAs expected the service was excellent. It was a bit noisier due to it being a holiday-Valentine’s Day the next day. The fish called Orato smelled funny, I returned it and ordered the salmon in its place. This was delicious. The food like the salad was terrific and the soup was great. I would definitely return.More infoPositano Coast by Aldo LambertiPrice: Moderate• Italian• Old City•4.6
- WWayneVIPPhiladelphia County •13 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFirst, you can't beat the ambience of this 4-masted sailing ship turned restaurant built in 1904 docked on the Delaware waterfront in Philadelpha. Add to that superb cuisine and service and it made for a memorable Valentine's Day dinner (a day late), Baked brie appetizer was excellent and large enough to share. My wife's scallops and my Alaska halibut were similarly outstanding. We both enjoyed the 2019 Mosel region Riesling that went well with dinner. To top it off, our server was one of the best ever. The Moshulu is not cheap but not outrageous, especially for the quality. If you drive there, parking is $20.More infoMoshuluPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Penn's Landing•4.6
