    Relish wasn’t bad but nothing in particular stood out. The food was alright and our server was very attentive. The live music was a plus and made the experience pleasant. We were staying downtown, so it was a 30 minute drive which I wouldn’t do again. It was too meh.

    From the setting of the reservation to the end of our meal = great experience!! I haven’t visited Philly ( Relish) since the beginning of the Covid Pandemic so on my visit back I hit all the spots I favored in the past and Relish was one and it didn’t disappoint! The service was excellent the food was awesome and our whole party was consistent in our thoughts- this was a great idea for girls night out!!

    Relish gets better each time I visit it! Thursday nights are live!! The entertainment is great with new and upcoming artists singing along as the live band plays. The food is absolutely delicious and there are so many good drinks to choose from. The service, as always, is unmatched. Everyone is attentive and eager to ensure you are satisfied. If you haven't been, get there!! LOL

    It’s my first time back after the pandemic and a lot has changed. A lot of menu items have changed and the taste was different. We all tried different things salmon, fried chicken and braised short ribs… we also were disappointed they no longer have the lobster Mac and cheese. Corn bread was so dry… overall the food was ok used to be great! Maybe it was just an off day for the cooks.

    The turkey wings were over-cooked. I didn’t like how the food was piled on top of each other. This caused gravy to drip all over the greens and sweet potatoes, neither of which I cared for. A member of my party got the chicken and shrimp Alfredo and she said there was very little chicken. The menu is not that large so running out of items is a turn off.

    Had a awesome time enjoying my birthday dinner with 4 of my friends. Are waiter didn't seem to be very knowledgeable about questions we had about the drinks, food or come back enough to check on us and the at this time the restaurant was crowded. Overall that is the only thing that dampened the experience.
