Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Anthony Bonett

From the OpenTable editors: One of Philadelphai's most unique dining experiences, Moshulu brings diners aboard the deck of a more-than-century-old ship that's been docked on the Delaware for upscale seafood since 1996.

    The Easter Brunch Buffet was great; good ambience, excellent service...my only gripe is that a large majority of the food from the buffet was very cold. I'm a breakfast foodie the only that was warm was the seasoned roasted potatos. I had to ask my server to take my entire plate into the kitchen and heat it up. This was my 3rd time attending one of the holiday brunch buffets and I don't think I'll be attending another one. ;-)

    Lovely spot for Easter brunch. The service was attentive (thanks Justin!) and the food was great. It is a little pricey, but not unreasonably so. The ship is nice (old - it's been around a long time) and the drinks were good. The upstairs bar area is great too. I would surely visit again.

    Everything was great! The service was second to none and the food did not disappoint. Shout out to the manager Brett for seeing through my special request for me and my new fiancé. Definitely recommend

    Keeping it simple, value for the food is NOT worth it. Waitress was very kind. Interior was old school, seemed a little out dated. But can't stress this enough, not the elegant experience you expect and the value is simply not there. Food overall was a let down, and the prices you pay are on the high side for a mid level place.

    The 60ppl mimosa brunch is not worth it. They pre-mix the orange juice and champagne. It was disgusting

    The view for the table was beautiful as we looked out over the river. The food was very tasty. We had the pan seared muscles. As an appetizer and we had Bronzino and the crabcake, which were delicious. Our server was very good even though someone had rushed our dinner out of the kitchen. But she returned it to the kitchen, and we finished our appetizers, and that was promptly served the hot main dishes they give the waitress a lot of credit for correcting the situation.
