This is my second time dining at El Vez. The food and service was excellent. We came with our two kids (2 & 5) and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. If you are looking for a trendy Mexican restaurant with bold margaritas and an energetic ambiance, then this is your spot. More

We went to dinner to celebrate the night before our son being released from the NICU. We figured it would be quite some time until we splurged on a nice dinner again. Christine was our server and she was AWESOME! She timed our dining experience perfectly and was very knowledgeable with helping us explore new food adventures. We appreciated our already unforgettable night being that much more enjoyable. More

Came into an aesthetically pleasing environment and a warm/friendly staff. Enjoyed the dim lighting and large windows that drew in natural light. Red sangria was delicious and so were the tapas! We snagged some papas fritas, scallops, pork belly, and a few other options that were amazing. Everything that passed by looked amazing! The ONLY thing I would change about this experience is running 6 miles beforehand so I could eat more. Lovely place and will be returning. More

We went for our 17 year anniversary and it was great. Rose pedals were on the table, strawberry champagne, and a complimentary dessert. And we couldn’t have asked for a nicer, more courteous waitress. Great Job Ocean Prime! We will be back. More

P.S. and Co was a wonderful place to take my daughter and our new puppy. I wasn't able to leave him at home but we had to go into the city to pick up my race packet for the Rock and Roll Half marathon the next day. They provided an amazing little table in their garden for us so we did not disturb other guests. Our server was so energetic and friendly, she worked with us when it came to my daughters' allergies. The Acai Bowl was delicious for her! I recommend the breakfast burritos and the cold brew coconut Americano for the grownups! Thank you!! More

Great thin crust, wood-fired pizzas and creative rifts on classic salads like a grilled romaine caesar and wood roasted beet. All very reasonably priced. Servers were friendly and fun. If we lived in Philadelphia we'd be regulars. More

La carne es deliciosa. El servicio increíble, gracias Annuar. Pero el postre... un asco. Nunca pidan el soufflé. Se tardaron media hora en traerlo y solo era huevo batido pintado de color chocolate, incomible. Lo bueno es que al regresarlo no nos lo cobraron, menos mal! More

We had a wonderful evening last Saturday at Trattoria Carina. Menu is short but everything is fresh and very tasty. Typical Italian cuisine in a nice setting. They do have tables outside and the inside is nice, bright, spacious with a traditional/modern look. Resonnably priced and best of all you bring your own wine.... Will definitely come back. More
OpenTable Diner -
The food is fantastic. Loved all the dim sum we got. Shrimp dumplings and shu mai were especially good. You can BYO for a corkage fee although they also have a full bar. Can’t wait to come back and try more different things. Very inexpensive. We were there with 2 other couples and it was only $26 per couple for a lot of food including the $5 corkage charge! More
OpenTable Diner -
We have dined at Jane G's on several occasions. It is a friendly and comfortable restaurant. Always a great meal and filling. Our waitress was professional and helpful. We will be back to Jane G's and would recommend it if you have not tried it yet. If you enjoy a modern environment and Chinese food this place is a must. More

OpenTable Diner -
We ended up really enjoying the place. I was very turned off at first because the hostess was quite dismissive upon our arrival. I thought I said loud enough that we were there for dinner, to which she hurriedly responded that they were all booked but we could sit at the bar. I said I had a reservation, to which she replied by asking for my name. I said as much, to which she rather rudely replied that they had two reservations with that name. Reservation was for Sept 15 @7pm. If she’s there the next time we show up, I’ll turn around and walk right out. Our server was very nice though. More

Loaded Nachos were great. Good location. Nice Staff. More
OpenTable Diner -
We arrived right as they opened and were seated promptly. Service was a little bit slow, but I’m not sure if they’re were enough servers right at the start of their day. We ordered drinks, but then a couple of us were told the one on the menu wasn’t available “because the blue berries weren’t bought” which was a bummer because the drink sounded yummy and our last minute choice ended up not being very good. The food was very good though, with perfect portion sizes. And their desserts were amazing! More
OpenTable Diner -
Very fun menu with lots of spicy-sweet surprises that make the most of in-season produce. Quick service and a creative, expertly honed collection of specials, like the spicy cucumbers or green beans with minced pork, make this a top-notch spot for a memorable business lunch or after-movie snack. More

We celebrate our co-workers birthdays at Smokin' Betty's. We have tried other places but always come back to Smokin Betty's. It's convenient, it's reasonable, the selections are awesome. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. They go out of there way to make feel comfortable. They are very attentive. You never need to wait for a drink. We come here all the time. My co-workers said that happy hour is very good also, however, I have not been there for happy hour! I have often met family there for lunch or for dinner. I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about the place! More

The food was surprisingly good. My friend is vegetarian and we planned a surprise party for her here. Everything our party of 13 ordered was delicious, the service was good, and the portions were great for the price that we paid. I would highly recommend this place More

From the front of the house greeting we were amazed at the interior and then seated for dinner, we were the only people having dinner and our waitress Corrine was the best! The menu I had so many great choices and we love seafood so we split a Caesar salad and Bau buns and I had scallops and husband had the raw seafood platter. We also met the chef and both he and our waitress gave us a delicious dessert and the coffee was delicious too! Don’t miss this gem of a restaurant although the bar scene is quite noisy if you love good food executed to perfection and ending your meal with a really good cup of coffee and dessert this is the place! Also the wine try the Chardonnay called “Taken” at $30 a glass it is worth every penny! More

My second trip to James and I brought 3 friends pre-concert. Food was great, I recommend the "Backyard Barbque". The server was friendly, attentive and efficient. 2 of my friends had the chicken and loved it and the 3rd had the quesadilla and enjoyed it too. As small menu done well, definitely has its merits. It look like things were fun at the bar also, if that's what you're into. More
OpenTable Diner -
OpenTable does not make a big deal about declaring this being in a hotel and my instincts would have rejected it based on that alone. However, the menu was very diverse and appealing, as well as nicely priced so I gave it a try. The service (Bronicka??... apologies for not remembering our server's name completely) was SUPERB! Between her helpful suggestions, knowledge of the menu, overall friendliness and professionalism, she became a critical, seamless part of our great experience. The other table attendants (we had a party of 7) were great as well. The various dishes we had were enormous, leading most of us to need a take-home box. All were very satisfied. I went out on a food limb and ordered the Poutine (a dish originating from the Canadian province of Quebec consisting of French fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy)... rather interesting. The W&V has them with tater tots... I might have had more to say if it was regular french fries (likely less potato-ey), but it was worth the order. Great time, great food, great service! More

LOVED OUR SERVER! wonderful ambiance, will be returning for sure! More

Discover Center City
The whole world should knows that there’s more to the diverse dining scene of Center City than cheesesteaks and hoagies. Israeli, Mexican, Japanese and a melting pot of other cuisines are dished up daily in the shadow of the Liberty Bell. French bistros are becoming as commonplace as Italian delis. If you haven’t tried black truffle pizza, what’s stopping you? Whether it’s a cocoa-cured rack of lamb or a vegan wood-roasted carrot that you’re craving, Center City likely has it. Fine dining establishments and casual rooftop bars co-exist in perfect harmony, and top chefs collaborate rather than compete. By the way, the iconic cheesesteaks and hoagies aren't bad either.
