    Can’t say enough about the food here. We tried several appetizers and desserts in addition to multiple entrees and all were delicious. Hats off to our server Noelle who did an amazing job keeping our water glasses and bread basket filled throughout our seating. All our food came out timely and with a smile. Great place!

    I eat there about every other month. Drinks are good. Food is inconsistent. Sometimes the food is very good and sometimes terrible like last night. Service is good. Hostesses were busy and never came to seat us while we waited at the bar. I had to go to desk a few times. This place is always a gamble whether it will be good or not

    Had dinner on Saturday evening. After spending over $250.00 for four dinners, I was appalled that we were charged for a refill on our diet sodas. The food was mediocre to say the least. The Potato Crusted Salmon with Scallops was not enough to feed a baby. The Three Scallops were the size of a quarter ($34.00). The sub-par crab cakes were $52.00. Save your money and go to all the other outstanding restaurants in South Philly. We will never return to this restaurant. Service was even worse than the meal.

    The best Linguini & clams I have ever had. I wanted to drink the sauce like soup.
