- LLisaVIPPhiladelphia County •20 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had come into Philly to enjoy some holiday shopping and I thought Dandelion would be a nice, cozy spot for lunch on a cold December day. It was perfect! We were shown to a lovely corner booth upstairs where every table was full, but the noise level was a non-issue. Bella proved to be a knowledgeable and professional server and had good suggestions regarding beverages and menu selections. I enjoyed the salmon pate and my husband's burger was terrific. It was the typical Stephen Starr restaurant experience: creative, authentic decor; well-trained professional staff; and great food.More infoThe DandelionPrice: Moderate• Gastro Pub• Center City•4.7
- BBebeVIPPhiladelphia County •31 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoHad a delicious brunch at the Love-excellent service, interesting menu, large portions. I would give it 5 stars but the potatoes served with the eggs were useless-too salty, no other seasoning-just unembellished potatoes straight from the fryolater. Everyone at the table agreed. Everything else was fabulous, tho.More infoThe LovePrice: Expensive• American• Rittenhouse Square•4.8
- SSeaNew York City •19 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoIt is now our favorite Steakhouse!! The staff was outstanding, and the food was phenomenal. Our server Steven went above and beyond to give us the ultimate service. Good place for a date night because you could hear each other talking. I do believe they could work on their desserts; bigger is not always better. Other than that one thing everything was magnificent.More infoSteak 48 - PhiladelphiaPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Rittenhouse Square•4.9

Maybe you got engaged on the steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art or just picked up the keys to your first rowhouse.

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.
