Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in East Passyunk Avenue

Wonderful pre-Orchestra experience! We had the pre-theatre menu, although the restaurant week menu was tempting. Our service was smooth and well-paced, so that we enjoyed our dinner without feeling rushed or stressed. Food quality and variety was excellent. We all enjoyed different items : grilled octopus, spanakopita, branzino, lamb chops, moussaka. All were well-seasoned and nicely presented. The wines by the glass were interesting and great value. We will definitely return!

My server Natalie was phenomenal, as well as the food, drinks and every other aspect of the meal (such as timing of courses, server and support staff presence, etc.) felt very welcomed and warm while there with everyone I interacted with, which is a rare quality in my opinion. Highly recommend!

Amazing! The service is impeccable, the food is always delicious! This is still my favorite restaurant after several years!! Also the personalized birthday card from the Manager for my Daughter’s birthday is such a game changer! Customer service at its finest!:-)

Absolutely unreal meal from start to finish. Food was fresh, different, and full of flavor.

Roxanne’s New Chapter is Even Better Than Before! Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at Roxanne in its new location, and let me tell you—it’s a revelation. While the original spot was already exceptional, this new chapter elevates the experience in every way. The tasting menu strikes the perfect balance of honoring beloved classics while introducing bold new favorites. Longtime fans will be thrilled to see signature dishes like the scallop and duck make a triumphant return, each as flawless as ever. But the new additions are equally dazzling—particularly the rigatoni, octopus, and scallop, each a masterclass in flavor and technique. And then there’s the cheeseburger. Magical doesn’t even begin to cover it. Imagine all your expectations of a burger, then multiply them by ten. The genius behind it all is Chef Alex - an original in every sense. Her creativity is matched only by her warmth, making the dining experience feel both elevated and personal. She’s not just redefining what great food is—she’s redefining how it feels to enjoy it. If you haven’t been to the new Roxanne, run, don’t walk. It’s a culinary triumph that honors its past while paving the way for an even brighter future.
