    This is by far the best steakhouse in Philadelphia. I have been coming here for almost 20 years and it’s been outstanding every time. Tonight was no exception.

    This classic meets contemporary steak house still holds its own among the best of the premium restaurants in the city. The food is top notch, the service is always attentive without being stuffy, and the rooms, the decor, is exquisite. It's pricey, but worth the splurge.

    This was our first time coming here since we are from MD, but it was a lovely dining experience for our anniversary. Glenn was incredibly personable, fantastic salesman and catered to every need. The food was amazing, definitely recommend the American wagyu filet.
