   The food was delicious. However, the bartender was AWFUL. He got most of the drinks wrong and then lied about it. Items asked for were never received. Other servers had to keep correcting his mess. It’s sad because the food was very good.

   The waitresses are not attentive and they all look unfriendly. The menu lacks any options for anyone who’s not looking for bacon/pork. The cocktails lacked decent ingredients such as Egg White.

    Fantastic meal! I went with 2 friends and we split the chicken liver pate and crispy pork. We loved them both. I wanted a full bodied red to go with the short ribs and they let me try a few to find one I loved. The ambiance is cozy. It was a bit noisy but we might have been the cause of that!

    My wife and I went on a Saturday evening and had a wonderful meal. The waitress Mia and waiter Ian took great care of us. The bartender Michael made delicious tequila concoctions for us to drink. My wife’s meal was scallops Risotto and my skate with risotto was out of this world. 👍🏼👍🏼 to the chef. Looking forward to returning soon. Great date night ❤️

    Our entire meal was incredible and our servers were amazing! We asked for custom cocktails and they went above and beyond to listen to our requests and make each of us a special drink. They were also super accommodating when we added guest to our reservation last minute. So many good things to say about this restaurant and staff!

    I suspect Covid has impacted their staffing as aside from the bartender who was great, the rest were over their heads and that did impact the quality of the experience. The food was also a notch below what it was pre-Covid. It was just a little tired

    It' had been ages since Ive been to Fond and Im kicking myself for that! This meal was absolutely perfect. The Chicken Liver Mousse is incredible. Cocktails wonderful; I let the bartender choose and it was bliss. Entree's and dessert also great. The meal was absolutely what we needed after a long spell of not eating in this neighborhood. Im coming back soon! Thanks Fond for being so friendly and delicious!

    I love this restaurant. Love it. We've been going for years. The ONLY thing I would recommend is that the starters/appetizers are served in smaller portions. Most of the appetizers are served as full meals (they are so good...you can't help but eat all of it or do like me, and have it boxed up for lunch the next day). But, I'd like to start my meal with a smaller gorgeous appetizer followed by the impeccable main. Other than that, it's brilliant.

    This was my first time here. The cocktails were good. The portions were small. The food was too pricey for the food to just be okay. Nothing I had blew me away. If I came back, it would be for cocktails only.

    Prior to coming, we had seen a few reviews that made us a little wary about the food and service but rest assured, this place is top notch with every. Food was delicious and beautifully prepared, drinks were refreshing, and our server was attentive without helicoptering over us - a true professional. We had the Chicken Liver Mousse as an appetizer - it was my first time having it, it was delicious with the pickled vegetable it came with. It is a little heavy/particular in flavor so it may not be for everyone. Our entrees were the Pork Belly and the Tuna, both of which were very tender and flavorful, and the pasta/rice that each came over were perfect compliments to the proteins. For dessert, we shared the dark chocolate sorbet and that was honestly one of the best desserts I've had in a long time I highly recommend it. My date and I went at 5pm and it was nice and quiet at first but as peak dinnertime rolled around, more people started to show up but it was still a pleasant noise level.

    Fond is my favorite restaurant in Philadelphia because they are exceptional in delivering on my top four priorities - cocktails, food, atmosphere and service. Fond's menu is unique, the food is superb and the vibe makes me feel like I am among friends in their home. Each drink and plate of food is treated like an understated masterpiece. Whether I sit at the bar or dine at a table, it does not take long to unwind from my day and enjoy the full experience.
