    We had bones in the double steak, recommended cook at medium rare but once it served , it was mostly like rare almost blue , a lot of fat in the steak itself, got cold very quickly after served also Then the dessert , mud pie was served like freeze temperature, like ice cream mud pie sadly Unfortunately we didn’t enjoy it, service took quite awhile to reach to our table

    What a sumptuous and elegant meal! It was truly first class along all dimensions. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. We especially enjoyed the beautiful piano and vocal music by music legend Peter Colangelo. We even enjoyed a special visit with the restaurant’s gracious owner and founder! The Rittenhouse Grill is truly a Philadelphia gem!

    From the moment we were greeted at the door to the moment we walked out the staff was amazing. Really impressed…. There was a musician playing the piano and played some songs that I was not expecting and was pleasantly surprised. From the starters to the main, the drinks, and dessert were all exceptional. We went to the Rittenhouse grill to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday and she said she will remember this dinner for the rest of her life. 100,000 stars.

    Spent a night in the city for my wife's birthday and ate at Rittenhouse Grill. It was an unforgettable dining experience with John as our server. He was so pleasant, help full, and professional. We felt as if we were VIP customers. The prime rib is a must. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. I cannot say enough about our wonderful experience. Thank you John, you made our night.
