    Poor quality for the absurdly high price point. Is this restaurant some kind of money laundering scheme? I don’t know, but someone should look into it. Service was impeccable, ambience was acceptable.

    I had a reservation for my birthday dinner and I was greeted by the 2 wonderful young ladies at the hostess stand and was seated right away. Our waiter was Chris and he was AMAZING. My friend is a very inquisitive person and he answered every question and was very patient and understanding. The portions were great for the price despite reviews saying otherwise. The atmosphere was very chill even with the music playing. I will definitely come back some time!

    It’s expensive for what it is. Our waiter was very nice. The person who was supposed to clear our table was very annoying, constantly coming to see if we'd finished. He cleared the plates while I was still eating. Several times he lifted the lid off my pancakes. If you want to take your time and dine with friends, go elsewhere.

    Had a reservation. They sat us first near the service door - then again tense the trash. Hostess (male) was rude so we left. Not coming back. Post pandemic, this space went down hill, used to come every week and now I won’t even grab take out

    Been to Philippe at least two dozen times if not more over the years and there's no doubt that the restaurant has gone downhill. Our latest experience (there were seven of us) was just okay yet served the purpose of a birthday celebration however none of us would rush back anytime soon. Far overpriced to value and way too noisy, with lots of adults acting like children and others wanting to be something other than what they pretend to be most wanting to be cooler than they actually are. Two dishes, the Orange Beef (basically fright batter with little to no beef) which should have been a fav was not good, and the Slow Roasted Pork Butt was inedible and was sent back, the rest of our food was good to a little better than good, but on no level was great! The service however was strong and attentive.

    Everything we ate was wonderful and we had quite a variety. Our favorites though are the lobster fried rice and the crispy duck. Our waiter Kevin was terrific and we’ll be back again when our family is in town.

    Walking downstairs to the basement was the first strike for me. Our waiter only asked us if we wanted water, he never asked us if we would like to have a drink or a cocktail. There was no mention about any specials. We ordered the calamari and it was like chewing rubber and for the entree we had the pekin duck, and it was so greasy it was impossible to eat. Unbelievable experience that we had to pay for.

    We got there for a dinner on Friday,the place wasn’t crowded were many available tables . The music was so loud and it got even more louder . Like to dine at a club .The service was great ,very friendly and attentive,fast too. The food and drinks are OWERPRICED !!! The food itself was mediocre and of course it shouldn’t be so costly! Also automatically they charge you 20 percent service .
