- DDarianNew Jersey •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFood and service were outstanding. They were running a bit behind with seating even with reservations, which is understandable in my opinion given the busy holiday and the Eagles parade. They gave us complimentary champagne for the wait, which was greatly appreciated. Cocktails were amazing and delicious. Filet and lamb were excellent, cooked to perfection. The crab cocktail could’ve had a bit more meat for the price, in my opinion, but given how expensive seafood has become and how tasty it was, its understandable. Overall great place, great for Valentine’s Day, and will definitely be back one day!More infoOcean Prime - PhiladelphiaPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Center City•4.7
- DDaneenVIPPhiladelphia County •16 reviews5.0Dined 2 days ago1 waiter serving 9 tables he was very attentive but he looked stressed, but still served with a smile on his face and positive attitude. Food and drinks 10/10 I will go back hopefully they get more staffing. The guy that works in the kitchen and brings out the food was so nice and helpful becuase he seen we needed things and it wasn’t his job but he helped without an attitudeMore infoFia PhiladelphiaPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Center City•4.4

- JBJBfromNJWashington, D.C. Area •3 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 3, 2016This restaurant is worth the hype; be sure to make weekend reservations way in advance (they are strict about them). The meals come as small plates, and the waiter kindly equated the first grouping of plates to being appetizers, the second grouping as main courses, and the third as sides. My husband and I ordered the carpaccio portabello mushrooms and the roasted golden beets to start. Perfectly presented and the right meld of flavors in each. For the next courses, one dish out did the next. Meat eaters will not be disappointed. We finished with a small scoop of cherry sorbet with balsamic vinegar; be sure to give it a try. We look forward to going again the next time we are in Philly.More infoVedgePrice: Expensive• Vegetarian• Center City•4.7
