Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Anthony Bonett

From the OpenTable editors: One of Philadelphai's most unique dining experiences, Moshulu brings diners aboard the deck of a more-than-century-old ship that's been docked on the Delaware for upscale seafood since 1996. The landmark restaurant, featured in movies like "Rocky" and "The Godfather Part II," serves up standout dishes like an “Admiral’s Plateau” of oysters, crab mac and cheese, and lobster frites.

    Amazing experience, great view, & food the only downside was the service was a bit slow which I’m sure was because it was a busy day

    Atmosphere was amazing. Ricotta doughnuts were greasy. Overall, all food was greasy. Eggs were bland. Was really expecting so much more from this place. Traveled to Philadelphia from New Orleans and was really excited about the waterfront location for Mothers Day. We sat at our table for 11 minutes before even receiving water. Unacceptable. The waiter did apologize but place can improve on many different components

    Was truly hoping for an enjoyable experience during Mother’s Day brunch Unfortunately, it was anything but. Had to send food back because it was overcooked to the point where you could not even cut the edges We have been there before and had an amazing time which is why we decided to return, but with the changing of a brunch menu and the quality of food for the price it just isn’t worth it. Manager circulated to the tables, and when he asked, he just shrugged his shoulders and kept moving

    We came for Mother’s Day brunch and wish we would have went elsewhere. We had 10 am reservations and it wasn’t particularly busy. Food and drinks in general took a bit longer than expected. The outside deck still had a beer can from the night before on a post. Sitting outside and enjoying the view of the river is nice. The brunch menu is light on breakfast options and features items more geared towards lunch. When our entrees arrived on 1 order showed up along with a side of toast. We told our waiter we were missing the French toast. Another side of toast shows up. He came around and realized his mistake of not putting in the French toast. Despite acknowledging his mistake and us advising a manager there was no type of compensation offered. Given that it was Moms meal messed up on Mother’s Day you might think they’d want to make up for that experience.

    The quality of food and in its guest have “jumped overboard”. This used to be a nice dining establishment and now is filled with tank topped and flipped Americans with no class or decorum…we in general need to do better. But the Moshulu should have standards and none where on display.

    Service was horrible. Our entire experience lasted over 3 hours because of how long it took for us to receive our food and drinks. The restaurant was not busy at the time. Food was fair, but absolutely not worth the price. I would not return to the Moshulu.
