    I love this place, if it weren't so difficult to get a reservation, I'd go more often.

    One of the few restaurants that actually gets better with age. Each service person, from the water boy to the manager, glides around attentively to serve patrons. The wine list is small but select. pours are very large. I loved my duck breast, which is always served medium rare (perfect). Staff is very attentive, with one staff dedicated to just polishing wine glasses. All details combine to make this a 5 star restaurant. Others agree, which is why at 5:15 pm on Thursday it was jammed with couples.

    This was my second visit here and everything was great! I am adding to my list of favorite Philly restaurants. My favorite thing I ordered was the crispy artichokes. Delicious!
