Restaurants near 36th Street Station

We came for a late breakfast on the day of the Rittenhouse Fine Art Festival and had seats on the 18th St. side, facing the Square, where the show was beginning, so the view outside was as pleasant as the Parc interior itself, which is Old World, Paris, London, Vienna. The management was very accommodating, the service, professional, the food, traditional and well-prepared. Hope to be back next spring.

Wonderful evening. Excellent food and service. Charming ambiance.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at Talula’s. My husband and I were celebrating an anniversary, and the service was top notch. The table next to us was on the louder side, and our server proactively offered to move us to a different table so we could enjoy our special occasion. My husband and I are the type to try not to be a bother, so we probably wouldn’t have asked to be moved and just dealt with it. The server recognized the situation and took action within minutes. It meant the world to us! Sadly, by moving we did have a new server take over. He was great of course, but we really would have liked to keep the same server. The food was also phenomenal. We had the artisan cheese board to start and I was overjoyed to see 2 cheeses from my home state of Wisconsin. They were kind enough to swap out the blue cheese for a second portion of our choosing from the other cheeses. They provided us a few special treats since we were celebrating which was SO appreciated. Such a special experience!! It truly made us feel like we were VIPs. My husband got the tarragon chicken, and let me tell you…I am a great home cook, and I was BLOWN AWAY by the flavor and the TENDERNESS of the chicken. Sadly, they weren’t able to provide the recipe, but they did give us some notes so I can try to recreate at home!!! If we were Philly locals, this would be our go to for everything from special occasions, group gatherings, and even just a random night out. The ambiance is incredible; I love the appetizer plates and the real silver flatware. The price is SO reasonable too. This is exactly the kind of place I love to support. Can’t wait to return to Philly to enjoy another wonderful dinner at Talula’s!

My friend and I recently had lunch at The Love and it was delicious. We split the tuna crudo appetizer and then both ordered the salmon & sticky rice bowl which was delish! We sat outside - wanted to be in the "fresh" air and it was a very peaceful lunch. Special thank you to our server Laura who was super attentive throughout our entire meal and thank you to Seth for checking in on our table too! I wish I had also gotten the name of the woman who brought us out a delicious complimentary dessert as well. Highly recommend if you are in the neighborhood. This is the second time I've dined at The Love and both times the food was delicious and the service was fabulous.

We came here for my husband’s birthday and had the best time! Specifically need to give a shout out to our waiter, Ali, who was equal parts kind and helpful all night. And great recommendation on the chocolate espresso cake for dessert! 10/10 experience.
