    The food was good steakhouse food. The shrimp cocktail had nice, large shrimp. Only four of them for $28. Not a bargain, but a good dish. The steak and the roast beef entrees were properly prepared to the correct temperatures. The sauteed spinach was very well prepared. The wine selections were limited but reasonably well priced. We had a decent Burgundy for around $100, which isn't bad. The service was uneven. I don't know if they give the waiter too many tables to cover or what, but the waiter was attentive and then he would disappear for periods of time. Getting the bill at the end of the meal was a challenge--no one around to ask. The practice of automatically imposing a 20% tip on a table for two people is odd. Most places don't apply a minimum tip except on larger groups. Even in London, where automatic service charges are more common, it is presented as a suggested charge, not mandatory. The restaurant also charges for sauces on the meat. I don't like that practice either. Overall, the restaurant was a bit dated, the menu was a typical steakhouse menu, nothing to differentiate it from the competition. The service and other odd practices noted above will probably keep me away in the future.

    Rittenhouse Grille is a Philadelphia jewel !! The restaurant itself is beautiful Art deco. The menu is classic American steakhouse featuring prime rib every day. Mine was perfect medium rare. My wife’s grilled shrimp was also perfect. Service is also spot on —attentive and timely but not hovering. Live pianist takes the experience to another level. Finally, I really appreciate that the server tells you that the tip is included in the check before you pay. This is a fantastic restaurant.

    It’s a beautiful, classic fine dining experience. The piano and cello music added to the ambience. The shrimp cocktail was delicious as was the lamb chops and sole special. Lovely service and not rushed by staff.

    Rittenhouse Grill never disappoints. Even on a busy New Year’s Eve, everything was perfection: Food, service, atmosphere. Looking forward to returning!
