   This place was amazing. It is perfectly themed and the inside is amazing. The food was delicious and the themed cocktails were incredibly fun. The service was amazing, too. A must see place for any harry potter or magic fan.

   The food and drinks were amazing. Definitely among my favorites in Philly. However, it was crowded and noisy, and the service was kind of slow. Overall, I enjoyed it, and I would return again.

   When we had an issue with one of the dishes, the server (which was great) called her manager which was very dismissive and outright gaslighting. Ended up substituting the dish for another dish, which left us with a disappointed feeling, as the restaurant could just as easily make a new dish of the same type, but was unwilling to recognize the problem unless we went for entirely a different dish.

   HI Maya, we are sorry you had that experience. Was there something wrong with the dish other than the size? Feedback was you said it was disappointingly small and the server very nicely told you how many ounces it was and you said "That may be, but the illusion is ruined for me" All the salmon portions are cut and weighed to be 5oz. We were accommodating and made another dish, the mac, and cheese, if we made another Salmon it would have been the same size. We can't rectify a problem that isn't a problem. We also had the manager move around incoming reservations to allow your group to stay an extended period to accommodate your group's choice to have another dish. Your party stayed for more than 2.5 hours, longer than the allotted seating. I'm glad to see you enjoyed everything else.

   This was a great place for a girls night out. The decor was awesome with a great vibe. The food was very good. However, 3 of the 5 drinks we ordered had very little alcohol in them. I am not a big drinker ( I’m the designated driver in our group). So I prefer a weaker drink. I couldn’t taste any alcohol in the drink. The service was spotty. But overall it was good.

   Host and server was warm and welcoming. Provided excellent service and represented the restaurant well. Food was well prepared and tasty. The special drinks fell short of expectations.

   my friend and i went for dinner on a thursday evening at 8:30pm. as soon as we walked in we were informed the kitchen was closing soon which was disappointing but didn’t ruin the evening. the waiter, bobby was fantastic! he really made the dining experience enjoyable. we enjoyed our appetizers and drinks. the wings were delicious, star of the show.

    The food we ordered and drinks were very good as well as our server was very attentive. However, I did not realize how small of a place this was and we got squeezed at a table in the corner next to another couple we mine as well sat on their laps. I understand the restaurant is small and you want to use it to capacity but especially after making a reservation i did not expect to be sitting at such an undesirable table. It left my friend and I not even being able to hear each other over the table next to us conversation and laughter.
