- JJasenDallas - Fort Worth •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had a great experience overall. While my wife’s food was cold in the middle, the staff handled the situation promptly and professionally, which we appreciated. One standout moment was their attention to detail. I had noted on the OpenTable app that it was her birthday, and they not only read the note but acknowledged her special day without me having to say a word to the staff. That personal touch made the experience memorable. Despite the small hiccup, we would definitely recommend this place, especially for special occasions.More infoEl VezPrice: Moderate• Mexican / Southwestern• Center City•4.7
- KKellyVIPNew York City •38 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI enjoyed a Christmas Eve meal at the ever excellent Butcher + Singer. Everything was wonderful - from a warm welcome at check in, my fabulous, attentive server, Miss Brandy and, of course, the perfectly prepared food. Dining at Butcher + Singer is always a treat, but this particular meal will always be remembered as extra special. Thank you for another exceptional experience!More infoButcher & SingerPrice: Very Expensive• Steak• Center City•4.9
- WWilliamVIPPhiladelphia County •334 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis was our first time at lock bar and overall it was very good. We did not know being Christmas Eve of the kitchen was closing early which we were not thrilled about because we had a later dinner reservation and it forced us to order before we wanted to. The server also had a few miscues on the timing of things sending out the food too early but they rectified it and it was all okay. We both have the cream of crab soup which was very very good. I have the crab cake and the server said it was considered some of the best in the city and I would agree with that it was all pure crab meat no filler.More infoLoch Bar - PhiladelphiaPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Center City•4.5

Our server, Michael, was just fantastic and when we return we will be requesting one of his tables.

- MMerylPhiladelphia County •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoMy husband and I returned to Vetri Cucina to celebrate our anniversary, as we had done the year prior. Immediately, we were encompassed by the warm singular ambience of the small dining room: it feels like coming home. Eric, our server, was outstanding. He was with us throughout the multi-course prix-fixe meal, and gave us excellent commentary about what we were about to eat and drink. He even laughed when I asked, “Does everyone make it through all of the courses?” and he responded, “No. You are the first one.” Vetri is a unique experience. The courses arrive in a decent pace, always giving us enough time to digest and ruminate. The food is uniformly excellent; you can’t really go wrong. Highly recommend!More infoVetri Cucina - PhiladelphiaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Center City•4.9
