   Great food, excellent service. Waiter was friendly and entertaining as well as accommodating. He allowed for some good banter as one in my party decided on a simple dish of pasta only and he had fun with that as the meal went on. Food was excellent from the menu and the beef tartare was delicious.

   So we were excited to find another french restaurant (it is not, it is more a bar w few food choices) in Philly. Figured it would be great bc it was down in society hill, near old town and BF Bridge…. The wait staff was very nice, and the cute pub like feel. Thats it. Poor small selection of food; the onion soup was watery and not rich; ordered 1 charcuterie plate and 4 mussels dishes…. Charcuterie plate came AFTER the mussels…. (We had been hoping to nosh on it while waiting for the mussels, nope). And the mussels came, tasty, but no ffries…. Very disappointed overall and left hungry. This place is basically for drinking, not eating. Ohhhh well. Learned a lesson, not going back, sorry

   I took a friend here for her birthday. The restaurant itself looks very classic Old City, with heavy wood and dark furnishings. The food and drinks were…fine. I had one cocktail that was mediocre (the Parisian Rose, tasted a bit gritty) so switched to wine. For food, we got oysters, the cheese board, French onion soup, steak tartare, asparagus, and mussels. The oysters weren’t great, not very flavorful and some flecks of shell in them. Much of the other food was very bread-heavy. The steak tartare was served on large hunks of bread without much tartare, so not worth the price. The staff was super kind, but we found ourselves waiting a long time before our server would return (which is fun if you want a luxuriously long meal, but mentioning in case you need to be somewhere after). There was a very sweet moment, though—they asked if we wanted dessert and we declined, but since I had mentioned it was my friend’s birthday on the reservation, they still brought out a plate with a candle. Silly and thoughtful, which we loved. I wish I could say we’d go again, but the price and quality were just a turnoff. Might be nice as a place for wine and a small plate, but not dinner-worthy in our book.

   We were put upstairs which is outdoors. The ambient temp was 48 & there was one (1) heater. We were all cold and this colored our experience as you might imagine. It all could have been greatly improved by having multiple heaters & if we had been told early on that they were going to seat us outside. Food was good and service acceptable.

   We took a client to dinner and luckily it worked out. I would have preferred just going with friends. The menu is limited but the quality is fantastic. We ended up ordering the charcuterie boards, meat and cheese. That was more than sufficient. We never got to order anything else. The large size of both boards took over the table. Luckily the 4th person never joined our party of three because the four top booth would not have been big enough. We would definitely return but it is very loud for business discussion. It is a gem. Great food, ambience and service.

    Madison was one of the best servers I’ve ever encountered. Friendly, helpful, attentive, and went above and beyond from beginning to end. Anyone looking to have a special dining experience should consider the Royal Boucherie, especially the upstairs terrace. 5 stars!!

    We had a great experience, especially once we sat at our table. All of the food we tried was wonderful. The lobster cocktail was so good that I almost ordered a second one. We ordered several small plates and one entree and it was exactly the right amount of food for the two of us. Our server Matthew was fantastic- an absolute professional, helpful with our menu choices and wine selection. He made us feel welcome and was attentive to everything we needed. We will definitely go back to Royal Boucherie.

    My wife and I came here to celebrate her birthday. We sat in the second floor enclosed patio/garden. Service and prompt and attentive. We ordered the small fromage plate which came with a selection of four cheeses along with some honey and house-made apple butter along with some crusty French bread and housemade focaccia. The plate was excellent. Plus, we ordered the shrimp cocktail (5 jumbo shrimp) and were pleased with what was brought to the table. We got a bottle of the sparkling mineral water. It was French and was a nice change of pace from San Pelligrino. For the main course we ordered the fettuccine and the chicken Coussolet. Both were top-notch. For dessert we got the blueberry beignets and they were fantastic. Overall, we were very happy will all aspects of our experience and would recommend people give it a go if you are looking for a nice restaurant spot in Old City.

    Great small plates menu and wonderful cocktails! The ability to customize your own spritzer was a nice touch. We sat upstairs at a hightop, which was quieter than downstairs and gave us a little more comfortable space.

    Royal Boucherie has a nice ambience, good dim lighting, and is nicely designed. I enjoyed the service and warmth of all of the folks who work there. We watch a lot of Top Chef and the food was underwhelming especially for the restaurant of a former Top Chef winner. Both the flavor and presentation of the dishes left a lot to be desired. I had the eggs benedict, which was fine, and my husband had the burger, which was undercooked.

    I feel bad writing this review given how hard the server was working and the overall economic issues from Covid. However, it all comes down to leadership. I don’t know who or what company owns this restaurant but something is wrong. Nothing impressive. The server did remove 2 items from the bill which was appreciated. We won’t be coming back. Too many other good restaurants in Philly. Recommendations: one hour between order and food delivery is too long, cold biscuits arriving halfway thru the meal, prices that are way too high for eggs, and a half cold hot tea should really come in a teapot.

    We had a lot of fun as a group here for a birthday celebration. The service was fantastic and the food and drinks were good, though the cheese and charcuterie took center stage. My only complaint was the seating was awkward as one chair was situated in the main walkway from the kitchen.

    Our dishes - ribs and cassoulet were nothing special. The ribs actually caused some gastric issues in the 2 people that had them. Cassoulet wasn’t bad, just seemed like the meats were placed on top of the beans which, by the way, were minimal

    Took my friend out for her birthday. Our server seemed to forget about us. Took about an hour to get appetizers & then our server who was seen very few & far between came over to ask if we wanted desserts before our meals came out. Shrimp cocktail was good but all of the other food was extremely sub par. 2.5 hours later we had to hunt down someone to find our server to give us our check. We sat on the patio and the space heater behind us was broken.
