Top Tags:

Gargantuan cuts of prime beef, extra thick chops, and simply prepared fresh seafood are the straightforward offerings of this steakhouse that evokes the supper clubs of Manhattan in the 1940's. Leopard print carpeting, black lacquered walls trimmed in brass and tuxedoed waiters complete the elegant atmosphere, featuring live piano and bass nightly. Dress code is business casual.

Excellent all-around. Dylan and all the servers were working together in perfect synch, and the food was extraordinary. Blackened and teriyaki salmon were both amazing. Garth was a delight to chat with while wrapping up. 10/10 - will return when back in Philadelphia without a doubt.

We celebrated a birthday dinner at Rittenhouse Grill. Great location, nice bar, design and layout of the restaurant is art deco. Our waiter, Luis B was professional, pleasant, helpful and courteous. He actually enjoyed his work. Our evening was capped off with a birthday surprise. The owner was greeting guests at the table which was another pleasant experience. We will be back. Do not miss Rittenhouse Grill.

Food was excellent. Service OK. We had to wait a while to be given menus and have our orders taken. And, I was surprised that the bill included a 20% tip. Seemed unusual for a party of 2. Left me wondering if it was because we were 2 women and they didn’t think we’d tip well. (They actually got less than we would have tipped!)

Rittenhouse Grill is excellent! We had perfectly cooked prime rib, filet Mignon and pork chops. They were all delicious. The mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy. The corn off the cob was sweet. The atmosphere is sophisticated and mature. The service was attentive and experienced. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for an elegant evening out.

Service was amazing. We had Joe. At the beginning of service my mom joked that the occasion for dinner was an early birthday celebration (her bday was in 23 days, so it really wasn't) and at the end of dinner, they brought us a slice of cheesecake with a candle, so that was especially sweet.

The service on the floor was excellent which made up for very poor service at the bar. The prix fixe was fine value. It was BYOB night (Sunday) and the wine service - we opened five bottles — was excellent. My advice - get a drink elsewhere and come here to eat. It should be a great bar but the service is very poor. Also the martinis are sloppily made.
