Vernick Food & Drink

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

Food is amazing - difficult to get a reservation or seat at the bar.

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.

Great local spot, excellent cocktails, vibrant energy and location.

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!

25th anniversary I the food was delicious

Vernick never disappoints! Everything from the appetizers, to entrees, to wine was outstanding. One my favorite restaurants in Philadelphia!

As always, dining at Vernick is a wonderful experience. Very good food, drinks and pleasant ambiance.
Looking forward to returning for another dinner

Loved sitting at the Chefs counter. Awesome experience!

Everything was delicious! The foie gras was probably our favorite of all the small plates we got. The menu was excellent it was hard to make choices because we wanted everything! The cocktails were really good too; strong and refreshing. Can’t wait to go back!

Vernick was incredible. Service was outstanding! We had a variety of dishes and were not disappointed by any of them, and some were down right amazing. Definitely worth the wait for a reservation.

Outstanding original menu creations each with their own x-factor. The white truffle tagliatelle special is indeed very special. Well thought out wine selections by glass or bottle compliment the plates. Servus is first rate - attentive, comprehensive, but not overbearing.

Everything was incredible food and service
Can’t wait to go back

fantastic service, food, and drinks.

Was just okay. Don’t get all the hype.

Amazing experience. Well worth the wait! Outstanding execution. Terrific service.

One of the best Restaurants in Philadelphia and absolutely wonderful fare.

Britten was exceptional again.. everything was spectacular top to bottom

We just locked the food. If you have mobility issues ask to sit downstairs

The pumpkin toast, roasted cabbage, and curry shrimp were spectacular. The ravioli was good but it was weird that it was just one giant one, also for the price it wasn’t much. The mushroom toast was good but I think it would have been more enjoyable if it was warm and not served cold. My friend enjoyed the oysters. The service was great! I went to dinner with a friend I haven’t seen in a year and is in town for Thanksgiving and it was nice that they recommended that we take our time ordering and that there would be 15-20 min between each plate, so we could really enjoy our chatting over the sparkling wine (which I never heard about until dinner tonight!). Definitely will return to Vernick with my husband as I think he’d enjoy it.

Outstanding restaurant from the moment we walked in until we left. The staff was exceptional, our server was on point, and the food was even better than I could have hoped for: inventive, exciting, and most importantly, delicious! Well done!

This is the best restaurant in Philly. The most creative and fresh ideas i've seen. I'm a vegetarian, and there are many options!

Service was amazing. Food was delicious although I felt a few of the dishes were on the salty side (the mushroom soup amuse bouche, sea urchin with scrambled eggs, gratin that came with the sea bass)

Dinner was excellent, as always!

Loved everything!!! Omg the best!!
Can’t wait to go back.

One of our favorite restaurants anywhere! We dine here whenever we come to Philadelphia (we live in NYC) and have even talked about hopping on the train just to dine here!

The food was very good admittedly a bit pricey for what it was. I did find the food was extremely rich.

Gorgeous menu, beautiful presentation, great wait staff, noisy but worth it! We’ll go again!

Fantastic service and incredible food. I can’t wait to go back!

Unbelievable experience, food was exceptional and service was too. I've been trying to get in here on previous trips to Philly and it did not disappoint. One of the better meal experiences ive had in awhile

This is an AMAZING restaurant. If you consider yourself a foodie then you MUST go here. Everything we ordered and everything that was complementary was absolutely delicious and wonderful. I wanted to keep eating and ordering dish after dish. I went to philly for a few days and was doing research to find the best place to dine and Vernick is the place! I live in NJ and eat in NYC all the time and I would definitely go back to Philly just to eat at Vernick (I revisited yesterday and it was delicious). I ate at the chef counter a second time and would recommend eating there just to see the chefs work like a well oiled machine with everyone moving with precision and dedicated passion.

I went a second time and this place is AMAZING. The chefs are rock stars and had another amazing enjoyable dinner.

Awesome all around experience! My wife and I are huge foodies and haven’t been so satisfied since dining at California Grill, Victoria and Alberts, and Flying Fish. Everything was spot on and perfect. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

First time visit - enjoyed ourselves very much. Highly recommend.

Excellent service and wonderful tastes! Entrees lacked the luster that I had hoped to continue after our toasts and small plates.

One would be hard pressed to find a more delicious meal, it was superb! There is always room for improvement so if I could improve anything... well... the service could be a tad warmer.

Been here many times amd have never been disappointed. Looking forward to our next visit.

Everything was fantastic. The service,the food and the atmosphere.A true 5 star experience

Vernick is always one of the best in town. If you haven’t been there you need to get there and experience everything they have to offer. One of the treats is sitting at the chefs counter and having your dinner while watching the chefs prepare everyone’s food. They even have one person who soul responsibility is to make sure your plate is clean and food presented properly before it gets delivered to the table. Top-notch restaurant gets my vote for five stars
