I love the inviting atmosphere and the attentive waitstaff. I would definitely return to try more dishes. There is a really cool (literally cold) wine cellar so I will surely return to try a glass or two. be careful, the warm bread is addictive. The salmon was cooked to perfection and accented with a delicious citrus flavored sauce. My coworkers raved about the chicken breast with spinach and cheese. We all wished we had more of the mixed vegetables, they were really tasty but definitely sparse on the serving size. The surprise bday slice was delish! Service was well-timed, welcoming, attentive, and friendly. What a hidden gem! More

We usually go to Panorama for dinner. This time we decided to try lunch. We were happy to see the menu was basically the same as dinner. There was also a lunch menu with specials. Our waiter asked if there was anything else not on menu that he could get for us. He said chef will always do a special request. We ate off the lunch menu and it was great. Nice portions of good food. Making plans for another lunch date. More

It had been quite some time since we went to Fork (at least 6 or 7 years). The last time we dined there it was good, but not great. We were given a gift card by friends 2 years ago and finally decided to give Fork another try after seeing a matinee performance of Hamilton. The meal far exceeded our expectations. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The tempura mushrooms are to die for. Unbelievably tasty. We also had the burrata which was very good. For dinner, my husband had the Wagyu beef and I had the agnolotti with duck confit and duck breast -- both dishes had outstanding flavor and were perfectly cooked. Fork has a very eclectic wine list -- we had a wonderful bottle that was excellent with both of our dishes. Also the bread at Fork is fantastic. Beautiful ambience. Enjoyed a drink at the bar before dinner as well. We will definitely be back soon. More

Server was amazing, food was good (I was expecting the pasta to be a little more flavorful), company was amazing and I can’t believe we spent so many hours there. I had no idea how late it was when we left because of how much fun we were having! More

We had a great time. I though all the food was delicious. I have been here before and noticed a change in the wine list, a lot more options and I thought it was pretty well priced. Our server told us about a $2 Martini special for lunch so I have to go back and try that. Our service was nice, not intrusive but very knowledgeable and made my friend feel special for her birthday! It was lively but didn't think it was unbearably loud. More

Delicious and exciting restaurant to experience authentic colonial and early American cuisine! All staff is dressed in period piece and there was harp player when we visited for dinner! A definite must see for American History fans and lovers of classic dishes. More

Excellent new place. Service was outstanding. Soup was incredible. Price was reasonable. You get a lot of food in the boils. Bring your own wine. The liquor license is in limbo. More

Noise level is pretty good for Philly. Portions are generous. Waiter was friendly - a bit informal for my parents' taste. Water was re-filled. The food was very good, especially the anticuchos, sopa de camarones, and the pisco sour. The espresso was not good. I would absolutely go again. More

I took my team to Red Owl for our annual team dinner after an evening of Axe throwing at Kick Axe. The staff at Red Owl provided excellent customer service, including their General Manager sending over multiple free appetizers to get us started. There was an issue with one of the steaks we ordered (ordered rare but came out well done) but the staff worked quickly to remedy the situation and the Chef personally delivered the new steak and apologized. This may not seem like a bid deal but our team just spent multiple days in team meetings talking about taking ownership of our mistakes and how that goes along way to improving the Customer (internal and external) Experience and Service. To see this live and in action definitely struck a cord with our group and made a disappointing experience easier to digest. Overall the team had a great experience and will be on our repeat list should the team stay in Old City once again (typically stay in Center City closer to our offices.) More

We had a terrific dinner - appetizers were great and entrees well prepared, pleasing, served hot. The service was terrific. It is a shame more people don't try this - the menu is good and everything was delicious. It is a bit noisy b/c there is no break from the bar, but otherwise terrific. More

We just love this place! The food is always good, and the service exceptional. My wife’s go to brunch entree is the poutine - topped brisket and sunny side up eggs. The Bloody Marys are delicious and reasonably priced. We will be back! More

We loved our dinners at Paprica. WE had 4 different lamb entrees and they were all delicious. We had cheese borek, and turkish pizza and they were also delicious. Food is always wonderful and service is great. Will definitely go back. Of course baklaba and ice cream for dessert. More

This is not a fancy restaurant. In other words, not the place to take someone you want to impress. However, the service was lovely, the foods delicious and varied. It is a byo and very affordable. I would definitely go again for a casual meal. By the way, the eggplant was amazing More

The food was good. Steak was a tad overcooked and not the quality of meat I’ve had at other places. Appetizers and drinks were very good. Service was a bit slow. I would go back and give them another chance, everyone has off-nights. More
