   We dined upstairs in the more private area which was quiet & provided nice windows for viewing the neighborhood. The service and food was the best we’ve had on this vacation to Philly. We will surely return. I am thankful to the person at Reading Market that recommended this delicious restaurant to us.

   My Wife and I went to The Love for our 3rd wedding anniversary. I had booked the reservation and notified them of the occasion without thinking much of it. To our surprise, after we were seated at a nice table outside, they provided a complimentary glass of champagne and desert. Exceptional service and delicious food. Will definitely return!

   The food was delicious and the service was great. The chairs were terribly uncomfortable. And my friend got her wallet stolen while we were there. Didn’t realize it until we got home. Very upsetting.

   We love The Love. On one of the biggest weekends of the year (graduations, Penn Reunion, etc.) we were able to get a last-minute reservation and never felt rushed. The service was personal. Oh, and the food? delicious.

   I regularly have brunch or lunch here at least once a week. Very pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff including the reception hosts. Reasonable menus and of course always the finest quality ingredients as befits a STARR restaurant

    Service was warm, considerate and attentive. Menu options were great, like a farm-fresh take on American fare, but not too overwhelming in its breadth of options. Highly recommend the Fried Chicken and Miso Collards! My prickly pear cocktail was delicious!

    The ambience was terrible. Looked like a barn. Not at all what I expected and for the price of the dishes the ambiance should be just as important. Was really disappointed I took a first date there. Deafening. Had to scream in each other’s ears to talk!

    Ultimately, the dinner was underwhelming m, at least for this price point, and we won’t come back. The mushroom risotto (appetizer) with fried sage was great($24). But the main dish, a $38 sea bass, was nothing special; the small potatoes didn’t go well with the sauce and the sauce was too lemony. The dessert, lemon crème brûlée, was nice. The music could have been more donning-room friendly, as we belong to those who s Tilsit want to converse with their dinner guests. Overall, we felt the the menu didn’t justify the price. Maybe the pasta would have been a better choice but the waiter did recommend the bass, so that’s what we got.

    The Love was the perfect place to celebrate Mother’s Day. Food was excellent and the service was impeccable. Highly recommend the blueberry scones. The complimentary chocolate cake bites were the perfect ending to a delicious meal.

    I came for Mother’s Day brunch with my mom and eight week old baby. Bringing a baby into a restaurant can be so stressful. The hostesses were patient and accommodating. They couldn’t be nicer. They waited until a booth opened up so I could comfortably sit the baby’s car seat down. Andrew was our waiter (second weekend in a row). He was just as wonderful as the hostesses. He’s very personable and kind. His service is on point! It’s always a great experience at The Love. <3

    We were very pleased with our Mother’s Day brunch, even though my omelet wasn’t exactly as described (but still delicious), and the potatoes were dry. But everything else was excellent. Note that the noise level was low upstairs, not at all so on the first floor.

    Started out great - drinks were great, the beet salad was awesome. My friend's entre salmon was great; my bass was eh with the side salad a bit too oily. I was disappointed. Dessert carrot cake was great. Great atmosphere - lots of noise but surprisingly not disruptive. Great place overall.

    We tried The Love at a good friend’s recommendation. Our food was almost drowning in sweet, floral tasting sauces— dishes that weren’t described accurately on the menu. Despite having an early reservation, the dining room was too loud because of club music that was piped in. Lastly, dessert was the strangest iteration of flourless chocolate cake that I’ve ever encountered— it seemed like they missed a step during baking and again during plating— and coffee arrived after dessert had already been cleared without acknowledgement or apology for the misstep that two servers were so clearly discussing between themselves in front of our table. Strange, over-priced, off-putting.
