"Excellent restaurant located in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Terrific for a special lunch while visiting the museum. Service was very good, and the food was excellent. Much larger variety on the menu than I expected. Part of the Starr group of restaurants!"

"While Granite Hill offers impeccable service from the moment you are within talking distance to the front desk, to the friendly good bye, the only thing that would be to mention is the clientele. If you are an art buff that loves talking about yourself, are nearly impossible to please, and have money as no object, Starr's Granite Hill is your place. The food is fresh, yet , portionally small, Salmon Rillett was good, but had me wanting and needing more crusty bread than was available. The Branzino Meuneire(Seabass) was tender, but lacked the crunchy skin that makes it even better. The crab cakes were very good. The moonflower specialty drink was also excellent."

"Nice and convenient spot if you are seeing an exhibit at the Philadelphia Art Museum bc it's in the museum. I probably would not be impressed if there were other choices. A bit disappointing considering it's a Stephen Starr restaurant. Cafeteria style seating cannot be avoided due to space issues and the crowd they have to handle."

"The restaurant adds a wonderful note to the Museum. The food is great, the ambiance relaxed and it is always a pleasure to lunch there when my friends and I come to Philadelphia for the day to see a special exhibition or just enjoy the permanent exhibits"
