"I recommend the $95/pp weekend brunch buffet if you want quantity, with an emphasis on seafood, and a beautiful 2nd floor view of Rittenhouse Park. We came to the weekend brunch for my mom's birthday. We enjoyed our meal (the seafood and desserts in particular), but nothing wowed us despite the hefty price tag (total came to $365 with automatic 20% gratuity and 8% tax). Everything is a buffet except for the entree, which you order from the server a la carte my partner ordered the lobster, my mom the fish, and I the duck. Duck was cooked well but was way too fatty. The benefit of the buffet is that they serve a LOT of dishes, and there's a whole table dedicated to seafood and desserts. We enjoyed the caviar, lox, and crab legs. The dessert table was also truly impressive with 12+ types of desserts to choose from. But only ~4 5 of them were truly delicious, and the other desserts were quite bland and lacking. Service was attentive and excellent. Ambiance and view were lovely, but the restaurant is extremely narrow, which made navigation through the buffet difficult. The rest of the hotel was honestly quite drab and empty over the holiday, and I was surprised to learn that it has 5 stars. Tip: all non alcoholic drinks are included in the price of the buffet. Alcoholic drinks are extra. Would we go back again? Probably not. $365 is a lot, and we can get higher quality tasty food elsewhere although we wouldn't have such a lovely view, and they may not be as plentiful."

"Sommelier was wonderful. Unfortunately that was the only thing. Service was extremely slow despite being at 20% occupancy. Whoever was in charge of filleting and removing the bones from the Dover Sole must have been his first time doing it. Every bite had a bone in it. Mentioned it to waiter who did not seem to care and did nothing about it."

"Awesome food, great service.Highly recommend the steak, crab cake (they use no fillers), and the seafood salad you'll be amazed at the portion. It's not cheap but given the amount of seafood, it's worth the price. Love their bread basket!Rumors have it that they have the best fried chicken in town, even better than Gus's. I tried it during COVID for delivery and it's seasoned well. Didn't get a chance to try it this time.Stone crab claws are at market price.Reservations aren't required but recommended. It's easy to be seated during weekday and weekend lunch time."

"Had to make at least one last visit to Otium before it closes. The service was fantastic and the staff should be commended for how polite and professional they were. I could imagine it must be some stressful or sad times. Regardless, they were top notch. We were served the food we remembered that always made us happy. The old standbys. At the same time we tried new dishes that we never had. I complement chef for his imagination and the technique and quality that go into the dishes. The one new dish we never had was the seared scallops. The scallops were on point but the accoutrements that were part of the dish, took it to a new level. I was lucky enough to say thank you to the chef, as he was there. Yes we will miss this place. It will hold special memories of lovely dinners and brunches, of friends enjoying each others company, of being treated special by the staff, of delicious food that filled our hearts and souls. I hope the best for all here at Otium."

"A bit disappointed! First, we love coming to Lettuce Entertain You restaurants as they always have top tier staff and food so we wanted to try this place for the first time. I had made a reservation for the patio specifically and as soon as we arrived the host said sorry there was no patio space.. was a nice evening outside so was bummed to sit inside. After about 5 minutes he sat us at a table in the bar area up against a wall/bussing and register area. It took almost 10 minutes to get water and then another 5 for a “temporary” waitress to come over, which is how she introduced herself. We ordered a glass of wine and got bread. Eventually our “real” waitress came over and asked if we wanted food so we ordered a pizza and a pasta. Pizza came out first and then when the pasta came the food runner literally threw the plate on the table and walked away. Did not get checked on until we were ready to leave. Food left a lot to be desired. What’s upsetting is the table next to us got a waiter that explained the entire menu, offered great suggestions, and was super friendly and welcoming. Call it bad luck, bad timing, who knows, but did not leave us wanting to come back again!"

"I have been to Biagio's many many many times and love the ambiance, the food, the employees, etc. That is why when I saw Biagio's now has a Brunch on SundayI and my friends were very very excited. What a big disappointment their Brunch was. Brunch wouldn't be complete without its breakfast roots. You can expect to find classic morning dishes like eggs Benedict, fluffy pancakes, waffles, and French toast. These breakfast favorites are perfect for those who crave the comforting flavors of maple syrup, melted butter, and a hint of nostalgia. Brunch is usually like A buffet Style or chief manning an egg station. Biagios brunch was nothing that this. I would go back for drinks at the bar, dinner with friends but absolutely not Brunch and I would not recommend Biagios for a Brunch"

"Our friends have been talking non-stop about this restaurant for some time now. We decided to drop by late one evening for some drinks. The two bartenders were incredibly friendly. Marcus, the bartender (if I remember correctly), was exceptional at his craft. He created several unique drinks for us, using his own recipes and twist, and they were absolutely amazing! I can't wait to return. I've been recommending this place and its talented bartender to everyone I know. Next time, I'll have to try the food too."

"After a long day we decided to go to the Keg for dinner as it was directly across from our hotel. We were seated right away and our drink order came quickly but after that our sever became very distant and it took half an hour for her to come back to take our food order. She would check in on the surrounding tables but completely ignored us even after repeated attempts to catch her attention and we all made direct eye contact a few times. Our menus were even closed and off to the side so there was no confusion. A table that got sat 20 minutes after us had their meals by the time we got our bread basket! After that hiccup and our order finally taken things were fine again, we got our food soon after and everything was cooked nicely. It was a very odd start though and very unusual for the Keg."

"We were dining at db Bistro prior to heading to the theater, celebrating my daughter's 30th and my sister's 65th. I cannot say enough about what a lovely experience we had. The staff was so attentive, 2 of us had special dietary needs and the staff went out of their way to be helpful, they really went above and beyond. The food was delicious too. My only comment would be to have more than one entree choice that is vegetarian."

"We dined at wine cellar at Harry Browne’s. You’re almost 100% guaranteed to get lost finding your way to cellar. You can be annoyed by that or find it to be yet another adventure as I did (even after being directed by the host at the front).Good wine selection (if you want a cocktail, you have to ask for that…you’re in a wine cellar).The staff was lovely, the food was decent (the crab dip was great!)Downside, the cellar is unsurprisingly an internet dead zone. That may be good for staying unplugged. But we did have a situation where someone at home couldn’t reach one of us for a fairly serious issue."

"After a long day of mountain biking a year ago, my husband and I chose this restaurant because it was in the same building as our condo and it was convenient. We were able to meet the very personable owner and we tried the panang curry and the pineapple fried rice, a specialty of the chef. It was that delicious fried rice served in a pineapple half that brought us a back a second time! We brought our two youngest daughters with us. In addition to the pineapple fried rice, we also chose the massaman curry and chicken satay. The cucumber and peanut sauces to dip in were fantastic. We ended the meal with chocolate lava cake and coconut ice cream. Such a pretty presentation and delish."

"Me and my fiancé have been coming to Tapry's for about a year now. It has great food and it's a great date night spot. We usually get the ribeye steak which is pretty decent. It's not the best steak I have had but it's still delicious. Sometimes the steak comes out a little undercook which we have to send back but most of the time it's perfectly medium rare. The inside of the restaurant is not all that amazing it looks basic and a tad outdated. If you do go definitely recommend the outside seating with the beautiful garden scenery. The service is great, the servers there are always friendly, well dressed and very attentive."

"FKA Tiffany's, the service was excellent, the food was delicious my water glass was never empty. The waitress was friendly knowledgeable. The menu was easy to read, the prices were fair the restaurant was very clean. I highly recommend you go for any meal I'll definitely return when visiting the area! Parking: Easy to access the building from anywhere in the parking lot plus there's plenty of spots. Kid friendliness: There are plenty of kid friendly dishes available plus they get a special paper placemat to color with activities!"

"Since everything we’ve ever had here is consistently excellent, we did the filet special and the pizza special (Syd . Never an issue here and tonight was another example of an exceptional experience. I gotta say, for a city with incredible steakhouses, Pitch Dundee blew them out of the water with this filet over risotto special. The Syd (pizza special could likely be the slice that quiets the ‘pineapple on pizza’ naysayers. Spicy. Just sweet enough. Salty. (Oh man. I’m glad I can heat up a couple of leftover slices of that after writing this I’m craving it again! Jack, our server, was on it as usual and was a great guy to work with.This place is a can’t miss! Make a reservation even during the week for dinner. You won’t regret it. Check out the house label red wines outstanding stuff!"

"The service was terrible. The bartender was heavy-handed and only seemed to know how to pour vodka. We went on a Saturday evening, but it was slow and almost empty for a weekend night. The waitress was missing in action for most of our visit and we had to refill our own water. The food was good, but the bartender should learn how to make more than just wine. You'll receive better service at the Pub or Burnt Wood Tavern."

"It has been a few years since we dined at Admiral Risty, and since the announcement of their closing, we decided it was time to go one last time and it did not fail us then and this time around! The place was packed as expected but we were seated almost immediately and once at our table it was not very long before our waiter was serving our needs. We had ordered appetizers, soup and salad and all were great! Between our entree's of flank steak and sea bass were cooked to perfection. Going to miss Admiral Risty!"

"We had a wonderful outside dinner with friends. The food was excellent and our server, Matt, did a great job. He didn’t rush us and we were able to eat and drink in a leisurely manner. Our friends had the fondue, Shepherds pie and grilled octopus. It was their first time at Octapas and they really enjoyed the meal. We had garlic shrimp , seasoned potatoes, brussel sprouts with bacon and grilled octopus. We absolutely love the brussel sprouts!"
