Beautiful site and great service but the food was lackluster in comparison. I ordered the lobster bisque, filet and crème brûlée while my husband had the crab legs and strawberry cheesecake. First time the steak came out it was cooked past my request and tasted dry but when they delivered the second go it was a good steak well seasoned but not worth the $69 it cost. My husband’s crab legs were covered in a sauce that made opening them difficult. You’re paying for the ambiance and experience not the food.

Filet was overcooked and tough, burnt on the edges and cold in the middle, very tough cut, more like a pork chop from a frying pan. Most awful steak I've ever had and at $55 it was a total crime. We'll never go back. Go engaged on this ship and it HAD fond memories of good service and food.... NO MORE!!!

Lobster bisque was just warm. The presentation was nice but the soup was not the best tasting Crab cake was not good. Too much filling not enough crab. beef Wellington special was fair (my hubby said. Very pricy meals I would not go back again They suggest 25% tip. Bc there were 7 of us. And we had to pay $20 to park. ($40 for our two cars )

Moshulu is a restaraunt dining experience that I would reccommend to families, daters, or any one who desires a venue with ambiance, character and a dining treat. Not to mention the history of the Moshulu and the wonderful view in the day and exciting water front view of Philadelphia and Camden in the evening. You cannot go wrong. The Moshulu has been a main staple in the city and has remained one of the primier dining experiences. The ship is rented out for events like weddings and other events, fabulous!
