- DDavidVIPPhiladelphia County •43 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoWe were a party of eight with diverse food interests. Three people had the hanger steak and one person had filet mignon. The filet came out 10 minutes after all the other entrees. All the sides came out promptly except the Mac and cheesecake, which came out even after the filet. It happened to be the entree for the youngest member of our group, a 14 year old. At a high end restaurant like this, I resent the 3% surcharge being added to the bill. If a hanger steak costs $32 why not just charge $33. No one would object. Likewise if Mac and cheese costs $17 why not just charge $18.More infoBardea SteakPrice: Expensive• Italian• Wilmington•4.6

- MMichaelPhiladelphia County •7 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe really enjoyed our dining experience the evening of December 23, 2024. The noise level was perfect, the music playing was enjoyable, and not overly loud. We could enjoy conversation without shouting at one another. Our server was attentive, without being overly bothersome. She made excellent recommendations, was friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food came out quickly, was prepared properly, and tasted excellent. We all truly enjoyed our experience, and advised the manager who came by our table of our compliments.More infoDel Pez Mexican Gastropub-WilmingtonPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Wilmington•4.7

12 of Philadelphia’s outstanding spots for celebrating special occasions
Maybe you got engaged on the steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art or just picked up the keys to your first rowhouse. It could be that your kid is (finally) toilet trained, or that your noisy neighbor moved away. Sometimes, simply surviving another Tuesday can be an occasion to celebrate over a restaurant meal. 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.

10 Top Burger Picks in Philadelphia and New Jersey
The genesis of the beef-on-bun combo known as the hamburger might be forever shrouded in mystery — there are at least six different people that claim to be responsible for its invention — but regardless of who came up with the burger, its appeal is undeniable. Throughout Philadelphia and New Jersey, burger options abound, from pared-down smashburgers topped with a simple combo of lettuce, tomato and onion, to patties finished with bacon and eggs designed for brunch-time enjoyment. Up and down the New Jersey coastline and into Philadelphia, these are the spots serving can’t-miss burgers.
Discover Delaware
Known as "The First State," Delaware is also first on the list for East Coast diners to discover a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of nearby larger cities without even needing to book a plane ticket. With most of the state bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, it's the perfect place to experience the dining delights of the sea. Those with a gusto for shellfish can crack into their own whole, grilled lobster, or kick back and enjoy a cold beer and oysters Rockefeller while enjoying the beauty of sandy beaches and nearby wetlands. Those who yearn for old favorites with new twists will find their beach sandals knocked off by goat cheese and rosemary pizza. The coast never tasted so good.
