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.

    Was my third visit over the last view years. The quality of the food is not what it once was from prior visits. The waiter was in a rush mode the entire time and kept apologizing for each delay. When the sushi came to the table our waiter was nowhere to be found for soy sauce. Had to ask a kitchen waiter for help. When our waiter finally came by and asked if we needed soy sauce he says oh you already have it. He just seemed not to have enough time to take care of his tables properly and was always in a hurry. You go to Mushulu for a special date because of the boat is a unique experience. Beyond that, it is no longer worth the money. I will not be back.

    Terrible Experience at Mosolu Restaurant I had high hopes for Mosolu Restaurant based on the hype, but unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The service was slow and unprofessional; it felt like the staff didn't care about their customers at all. When my food finally arrived, it was cold and lacked any real flavor. The dishes were poorly prepared and seemed rushed. The cleanliness of the place was also questionable — I noticed dirty tables and unclean utensils. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend Mosolu Restaurant to anyone looking for a decent meal or a pleasant dining experience. Very disappointed!

    Server Ema was super kind and patient, bartender Savannah was hospitable and energetic, food was excellent and the views incredible- all these things combined transported me out of Philly to somewhere truly exceptional. Can’t wait to return again and again

    Ambience was nice and fancy. Good place to go for celebrations such as anniversaries, birthdays, etc. A bit pricey but the portions are good in comparison to most other fancy restaurants. Food was phenomenal.

    I booked a table at Moshulu for my mom and my aunt and uncle, who were visiting from California. It was my aunt's very first trip to the East Coast. They were charmed by Penn's Landing and were all captivated by Moshulu's unique ambiance, rich history, and delicious food. They specifically mentioned the incredibly friendly service and how much they enjoyed their meal and the overall experience. I'm so glad I chose this restaurant for their special lunch :)
