    I try to come here whenever I’m in Philly and the service is always great but Eddie really stood out this trip! He’s a self proclaimed foodie and had all the best recommendations! After cocktails and caviar he recommended we share the lamb chops (cooked to perfection), and the sole (also very delicious). He recommended the perfect dinner wine and we had Irish coffees and the cheesecake for dessert. He didnt miss on anything! Thanks Eddie! 😁

    Matthew was knowledgeable and great. The salmon and truffle mac and cheese were among the highlights, but a wonderful menu over all. Everyone was helpful and welcoming!

    I am in Philadelphia working during my birthday, and my wife flew into town so we wanted to go to an upscale restaurant that was not in Charlotte… we were blown away. The scallops and lobster bisque started us on our journey. The ribeye and lobster tails was the perfect entrées and the dessert was amazing too. Do not leave without getting the cookie trio. Erin our server was the perfect balance of attentive, knowledgeable of the menu, while still allowing enough space for us to enjoy our evening together. I will be back as I travel to Philly regularly

    The service was impeccable and the food was excellent. Highlights included the dry-aged ribeye and strip steaks, the sea bass, and the mousse dessert. The server also brought a little birthday cake which was definitely enjoyed and appreciated.
