Best Historic Restaurants in City Line

We went here for the first time and everything was incredible! The brunch is an instant classic, the service from Lucas was attentive and hospitable despite having a full section, and the manager was around and frequently checking on tables. So thrilled with this experience and we can’t wait to come back!

We were looking for an traditional yet unique experience and B&S delivered the goods. The Caesar salad was spot on and our porterhouse for 2 was perfectly seasoned (i.e. no need for extra sauces). We closed the evening with great baked Alaskan. All in all a great evening. Our server was attentive and the atmosphere was lovely--a huge former bank filled with great jazz vibes.

Fabulous meal, with choices of food and wine meticulously explained. This dinner was immediately added to our top ten list of global dining experiences which include numerous Michelin starred restaurants. We highly recommend opting for the wine pairings with each dish, which not only delivered classic selections but also introduced us to wines we will seek out for our own cellar.

As always, Chef Rucker knows how to bring it! The food, service, ambience, music and vibe were all on point. The swordfish belly app, lobster toast, hash browns, crab claws, blue fun tuna, cabbage, scallops, swordfish Milanese, sea bass, ham and squid ink biscuits and chicken were unreal. This is our third visit, and the consistency and quality were outstanding. We’ve probably had every menu item and have been enjoying the changing drinks menu as well. The matcha cocktail is a favorite, can drink it like water! The new mezcal Negroni was delish!!! You have to get the desserts. I crave them constantly now. The granola cremeaux is in my dreams.

We went on Christmas Eve for drinks at the bar with friends and then a 5 course prix fixe dinner for 2. Both experiences were fabulous. Quality bartender and the table service team was top notch: professionally urgent, menu advice, flexible to small adjustments, on top of clearing and packaging to go, no time holes in waiting for food or drinks, EXCELLENT FOOD. I am embarrassed I lived in Philly for 21 years before coming here. I have been missing out. Will definitely be back.
