Best Family Style Restaurants in Fishtown

We celebrate my mother’s birthday here almost every year, as it is one of her favorite restaurants. The steaks and seafood are always well prepared and the service is exceptional.

Ribs and eggplant dishes were great. General Tso dumplings were tasty but dough was on thick side. The place was very busy and service was delayed a bit. Noisy cause it’s a hot spot! Food was the highlight. All food was served hot and fresh. Beautiful too. We’ll be back.

This was my first time dining here and it was fantastic. Love the vibe. Food and service was excellent. I had noted in the reservation that one of the diners is a celiac and we were given a menu that was gf- definitely an appreciated rarity. Looking forward to my next visit.

Mawn is definitely worth the hype because their food and service are absolutely amazing! Sometimes things are out of their control (ignorant loud customers who don’t read about the restaurant before making their reservations), but the waitstaff and owner handled it beautifully :) There is a time limit for each reservation. However, it’s plenty of time to enjoy a meal!

This is my 2nd time coming to Bastia. Initially the first review of the menu is a little difficulty to understand but when you have the right server who explains the pattern and each section it gives you a glimpse and idea what to order. It seems that the people who are servers really need to have a strong command of this menu as its complicated from the eyes of a well versed, wordly traveled and exploratory eater I had to take more time to review. I have seen folks on their phone trying to understand menu which is understandable. But again, the server must share this from the start and do not ask "do you have questions" as most people are too shy to share their confusion and feel embarrassed. The food is delicious and my children who are 9 and 10 are totally in love with the complexity and well prepared/seasoned and presentation of the food. Excellent job! The servers to to help each other but the person who delivers the food too has to be enthusiastic and present the food well w/ eloquence and sophistication. That all sounds good but keep up the great work. I did love and enjoy this plus the fruit that is given at end for a traditional thank you and good health.
