    Reservations were easy to make on Open Table, thank you to the hostess that was able to push back reservations back by 30 minutes when I called last week. It made the day stress free. Easy parking. very cosmopolitan interior and non pretentious high quality drinks and food. I hate Caesar salad, but loved this one. Lambchops very tasty. Bacon appetizer was a great delicious table add on. Ice cream slider and frosty cheesecake so worth the calories. Managers Josh and Bechir came to check on each and every table. Charlene, our server, kept the food and drinks flowing without us feeling rushed, followed up with us without hovering...just made our experience even better.

    This was a holiday experience worth having on Christmas Eve. This was also the first time my guest got to experience this lovely restaurant. The calamari was an amazing starter along with the bone marrow, the cappers were a nice touch. The main dishes were able to be taken home as the large portions are a plus. The pork chops & the porterhouse steak were so delicious. The drinks were also on point as the mojito had a nice mint flavor to it. Thanks again for having us & I plan to return again. Merry Xmas

    We drove an hour away from Philly to try this restaurant on Christmas Eve and it did not disappoint in any way. The atmosphere on the inside of the restaurant is gorgeous and the staff are all very attentive and genuine. We started with drinks which there is a WIDE selection of. I ordered the daiquiri martini and it was one of the best martinis I’ve ordered at a restaurant. Not overly sweet, strong but not straight liquor, and great flavor. We ordered spicy scallop, spicy crab and spicy tuna tacos as an appetizer and it was my absolute favorite thing on the menu. I am a big sushi/seafood person and devoured these. For another appetizers, we ordered the prime rib waffle cone tower which was aesthetically unique and SO TASTY. Such a fun choice and not just for show, the flavor was even better than the display. Lastly we ordered the roasted bone marrow which we ate some of on the crostini and left some of it to eat with our steak. I loved the lemon zest on top and there was so much bone marrow to use. I’ve ordered this at other restaurants that charge a ton of money for a tsp worth of food and here they served us two massive bones with at least 4-5 tablespoons or more of bone marrow. For dinner, we ordered the porterhouse special for 2. The flavor was phenomenal, it was cooked perfectly and it was massive. Enough for two AND l leftovers. Tasted amazing with the bone marrow on top. We ordered the berry crème brûlée for dessert and we were also given a complementary shot that tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The crème brûlée was unique and my boyfriend was a huge fan of the flavor/texture of it. They handed out a gift card at the end for Christmas as well. Overall such a great experience and I’m so glad we made the trip out to try it out. We will definitely be back.

    Seated on the upper level of the dining room we had a grand view of the Tiffany ceiling, and it was much less noisy than the main floor or the red dog. At the close of the meal we were serenaded by the wonderful Brynn Stanley and her pianist, and we spent a happy hour post meal listening to them perform holiday and jazz favorites. A great way to begin the last weekend before Christmas!
