Restaurants near Pennsylvania State Office Building

We had come into Philly to enjoy some holiday shopping and I thought Dandelion would be a nice, cozy spot for lunch on a cold December day. It was perfect! We were shown to a lovely corner booth upstairs where every table was full, but the noise level was a non-issue. Bella proved to be a knowledgeable and professional server and had good suggestions regarding beverages and menu selections. I enjoyed the salmon pate and my husband's burger was terrific. It was the typical Stephen Starr restaurant experience: creative, authentic decor; well-trained professional staff; and great food.

Had a delicious brunch at the Love-excellent service, interesting menu, large portions. I would give it 5 stars but the potatoes served with the eggs were useless-too salty, no other seasoning-just unembellished potatoes straight from the fryolater. Everyone at the table agreed. Everything else was fabulous, tho.

Always the perfect spot for a reunion with friends! Parc’s food, service and professional staff met all our expectations today: from the seafood appetizers to the the trout amandine, comforting roasted chicken, delicious mussels, and chicken paillard, everyone enjoyed their lunch. Our server, Tiffany, was wonderful.

OMG, we had a great experience. We arrived early and the owner was very pleasant and helpful. He greeted us with a great smile and made us feel very welcome. BTW he looks like Patrick Flueger from Chicago P.D., which made it an extra special LOL. Food and drinks were very good. Did not wait long for it. I highly recommend this place.

The experience was outstanding. The food was very eclectic. The service was exceptional. The owner/chef Omar Tate personally gave everyone the backstory for every dish! I highly recommend this place.
