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.

    We had a really disappointing experience at Moshulu. Our group made a reservation specifically for drinks, and nowhere during the booking process was it stated that this wasn’t allowed. When we arrived and mentioned we were just getting drinks, our server immediately became cold and dismissive. It felt like we were being treated as second-class guests simply for not ordering full entrées right away. When we politely asked if we could order food after starting with an appetizer, the server curtly stuck a menu in our faces as if we were a nuisance. Later, we were told the table needed to be used for another reservation—even though we had a reservation too. It was incredibly unwelcoming and left a sour taste in what should have been a fun night out. If you’re planning to come here just for drinks or a light bite, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. Moshulu clearly prioritizes full-meal reservations and does a poor job of making that clear upfront

    We had an absolutely amazing night! The only complaint I have is my filet mignon was dry. I ordered it medium rare and it was more medium well and dry. The outside was a well done brown color. The rest of our meal was amazing! The staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful. We’d definitely go back without a doubt but I don’t think I’d spend the money on the filet again. Too expensive. I didn’t complain because it wasn’t worth it especially with their great hospitality. Definitely a must go to. Just stick to seafood. 🤭

    I came to this restaurant because it was my husband’s birthday and it was close to a show we were seeing. Sadly I don’t be returning. I didn’t feel the food quality was worth the price tag. My husband had the ribeye that was on special and it was so thin and not tender. We ordered medium but it was definitely overcooked. My filet with bacon jam was overcooked but more flavorful than his. The restaurant is old and really needs updating and smelled old. With that being said our waitress was nice and the pork belly appetizer was very good, albeit small.
