Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Franklinville

Me and my boyfriend decided to eat in this restaurant for the suggestive location but I have to say that also the food was really good. What we took was satisfying: the mussels were very fresh and also the halibut was great. The non-fish options were also good. Service was enjoyable but very discreet, which allowed us to have enjoy the night together and we really appreciated that. We had a great time and part of it was thanks to the staff; we asked a couple of pictures and they were really nice and had no problem doing that. We would just give a couple tips for the restaurant. We thought that it would be great to implement tablecloths on the restaurant’s tables to make it even nicer than it already is. A second tip is to offer some type of discount or a small tasting of another dish if the item requested by costumers is no longer available or cannot be prepared. Other than that our experience was very satisfying.

It’s always a great experience at Talula’s! Everything from the welcoming check-in, excellent service (I had the lovely Miss Kate) and of course, the consistently excellent drink + food, it’s my go-to brunch spot every time I’m in Philly. Looking forward to my next visit! :)

We had a wonderful lunch with our very dear friends. The cafe was beautiful! Such unique and creative winter decor. But as always, the food was the main attraction. Our cheese plate was delicious with a great selection of cheeses and crackers, as well as the flower pot bread for spreading the softer cheeses. Everyone loved their entrees (avocado toast, salmon tartine and Caesar salad). Our server Brooke, along with her helpers made our lunch a very relaxing and fun time. And a BIG shoutout to those who accommodated our request for a table in a quiet area;)

We enjoyed everything from the moment we waked in to the moment we left. Our anniversary was acknowledged by the hostess, our server and a manager. They also sent out a sweet little dessert. Timing was very fluid. I was very impressed with the acoustics- the restaurant was totally packed but you can not hear another individual conversation and can still make out the music. Hard to achieve without seeing visible panels or an abundance of heavy drapery and rugs which there is not. Food was perfect.

We had a great experience overall. While my wife’s food was cold in the middle, the staff handled the situation promptly and professionally, which we appreciated. One standout moment was their attention to detail. I had noted on the OpenTable app that it was her birthday, and they not only read the note but acknowledged her special day without me having to say a word to the staff. That personal touch made the experience memorable. Despite the small hiccup, we would definitely recommend this place, especially for special occasions.
