Best Authentic Restaurants in Washington Square

Good food and GREAT atmosphere. We were so excited to get the bay window seat. Server was efficient and attentive without being over bearing. Everyone loved their meals. Unfortunately, we were too full to try out the desserts. Great way to get the full Philly experience.

Had a birthday dinner for a family member and it included a table of 10 people. Accommodating a crowd that large on a holiday weekend would normally be a challenge for any restaurant. Amada was fantastic. From our gracious greeting to the semi private room we were escorted to, to the individual coat tree next to the table to accommodate 10 winter coats, an unusual and very welcome detail, to the stellar personal and professional service, outstanding food and pacing of courses, everyone had something to please their taste and the overall experience was wonderful. Truly a memorable birthday dinner! It was a well-oiled machine, and we enjoyed it immensely. Kudos to the Amada team for a lovely lively evening.

We visit the saloon every year! Each time is as good if not better than the last!

We were greeted, seated and then treated to a lovely dining experience. We started with a couple of the specialty cocktails-Romarin and Nouveau Basilic: their pour was generous as our drinks lasted through our meals. A bonus of a basket of bread was brought to our table, such a rarity! Baguette, sourdough and what seamed a seasonal bread with cranberry and walnuts with beurre---seemed such a treat! Our waiter was attentive and made well informed dinner suggestions after asking us our preferences and we enjoyed the beef bourguignon; duck a l'orange and roasted chicken. Parc has made our top 10 list of places to eat while in Philly!

Good food and good value for a pre-theater dinner. Waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. General commentary for most wait staff these days and a pet peeve of mine- like many others says “are we” when asking “we diners” a question. Not sure who instructed wait staff to say “we” instead of “you” but it’s incorrect. They are not at table with “us.” Endeavoring to Include themselves in the diner’s experience is overly familiar, incorrect and at times condescending. Nonetheless, They work hard. Tip well!
