Moshulu is one of the most unique dining experiences in Philadelphia aboard a ship. Dine indoors in our newly remodeled dining rooms or outdoors in the open-air or covered decks. Our menu features modern American fare including the freshest seafood, steaks, and sushi. Paired with seasonal craft cocktails, canned beer, and an extensive wine list. Reservations are recommended and available for indoor tables and outdoor dining under the covered tent. Due to the high volume of requests and limited space, outdoor seating is on a strictly first come first serve basis, even for reservations.

Went for restaurant week. The service was rushed and the food was pre prepared. Waitress forgot to bring my drink. Ambiance is beautiful with great view. Parking was $20 which is ridiculous when you are paying to eat at restaurant. Restaurant charges a fee for using your credit card. Overall dinner was ok but will not go back anytime soon.

Beautiful restaurant. We ordered food and drinks. Food came out quickly. Drinks never came out at all, waitress had to take them off the bill. So our entire meal we only had water. Appetizers and dinner were very good. Deserts were lacking at best.

Visit was during restaurant week hence the value paid was fair enough. Food was acceptable and okay. Dessert was disappointing and a drawback to the experience. Left there to go elsewhere for dessert. Service was cordial but one of my key indicators is the server refilling my water which didn’t happen during the entire visit. Would I return other than restaurant week? No!
