    Lisa was an incredible server and so much fun to chat with. It was like she could read our minds and knew exactly what we wanted before we even had to ask. The food and atmosphere is always great but Lisa made our experience beyond enjoyable

    Awesome restaurant with great food. The tuna crudo was phenomenal. The pumpkin with cheese ravioli was to die for. The best part was the bread pudding with ice cream. Have had bread pudding all over the world. This was moist and delicious. Kudos to the chef. The service was also top-notch. This place is definitely good for a business meal as well as a nice date. Highly recommend.

    I've been passing this joint for years and finally got around to stopping in. Beautiful old building, with a wonderful ambiance inside. Feels like a British Pub. Looks small on the outside, but lots of eating space inside. Cozy, warm, inviting, and relaxing. Can get a bit noisy, but that is not a reason not to go here. The food was very good. The breads were insanely good. My wife had the fish and chips , and I had the Bangers and Mash. Great dishes and the portions were just right. There are plenty of interesting beers to choose from. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I will return. It is expensive, so plan on at least 100-150 experience for two. Enjoy!

    El Vez is always a must do in Philly and NYC, it’s that good! We stick with the Tacos Al Carbon for 2 with the steak, and a side of black beans and rice. Don’t mess with perfection!! We used to do the pitcher of margaritas which is more economical than single glasses- you get about 5 drinks from the pitcher. The problem is that you sometimes end up forcing yourself to drink more lol I know right? They are fairly stirring and let’s just say I drank more than I should have once- and although good I don’t remember part of the night. So now we stuck to individual glasses of margaritas! This time our waitress Kayleigh was excellent! She is one of the best. Every time we have dined in the Philly location we have never had a bad experience!

    I don't know where to start! An amazing experience from the door to the floor. I just want more! We were sat in the hanging wicker chairs because a table wasn't available and just sitting was fun! Van was our server and his attitude and service was tailored for an elevated diving experience. For starters we had the tuna tostadas which were so so good. We ordered the Korean fried chicken with an added side of rice and shrimp pad thai with extra shrimp! Everything was delicious, even the cocktails!
