Incredible ! Food was amazing and service was superb !

The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. We truly enjoyed our experience. The interior could benefit from a more modern, upscale refresh to better reflect the exceptional quality of the food and service.

Waitstaff were awesome and very attentive but not pushy.

Exceptional food. Our server Mat was very attentive and incredibly helpful about recommendations on the menu. One of our party accidentally spilled a drink and managed to break a glass. One of their employees Anna was with us within 15 seconds and a minute later Mat brought us a replacement to the spilled drink. One of our party has a handful of dietary restrictions (allergies). They were exceptional about letting us know what would work for them on the menu and what they could tweak to accomodate. I was expecting the food to be very good, but the service was incredible. I would happily come back any time I come to Philly.

Beyond the food and service, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and simply being able to relax and enjoy the moment the cocktails could be better. It’s definitely on the more expensive side, but honestly, I felt that everything was worth it. The quality, service, food, and overall experience made it a memorable evening. I would definitely come back again!(:

This is a great spot to get steak. The environment is lovely, and The service was excellent.

Our first visit was for a birthday celebration, and the restaurant immediately proved itself to be a destination for true steak lovers. The menu offers a range of cuts, including several Wagyu options. The standout item often mentioned online is the Wagyu cheesesteak, priced at $140. We reserved a 7:45 seating; however, if we return, we would choose an earlier time. The dining room is dimly lit, and once night fell, the space became louder than expected. Although I typically order seafood, we began with cocktails: an Old Fashioned at $30, made with Knob Creek bourbon and rye, and a rosemary whiskey sour the bar kindly accommodated. The popover rolls served before the entrées were excellent—crisp exterior, fluffy interior, and a touch of salt. For a starter, I chose the lobster bisque. It arrives with diced lobster in the bowl, followed by a warm cognac cream poured tableside. Rich, flavorful, and delicious. My entrée was the Chilean sea bass, served with a koji marinade, glazed root vegetables, and a spiced carrot sauce. Unfortunately, the root vegetables were undercooked. Before the steak course, the waiter presents a tray of various steak knives. The other entrée, an 18‑oz ribeye cooked medium, —the crust and bite of the piece I sampled were perfect. Our sides included mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. For dessert, we ordered the banana crème brûlée, a light vanilla custard topped with caramelized bananas and vanilla wafers. The restaurant also brought a chocolate mousse for the birthday celebration—rich in flavor and light. One unexpected detail: the restroom is co‑ed, with three stalls marked “M” and one marked “L.” The stall I entered was tight, and there was liquid on the floor around the toilet, which was disappointing. Aside from this issue, service throughout the evening was top‑notch.

The best dining experience I have ever had. The scallops were the best I have ever had. My Wife said her Lobster was the best she's ever had. 24 oz American Wagyu ribeye $175 and totally worth it!!! Th next time I'm in Philly, I will have to stop by, Truly wonderful and incredible experience!

The brown butter Dover sole was fantastic! We started with the Caesar salad (one of best we've had: crunchy, delicious and with generous dressing). My hubby's steak was perfectly cooked (medium rare) and our sides were very tasty (creamed spinach and scalloped potatoes). The cheesecake was so creamy!

Absolutely blown away by this place. The wine was amazing to start out. We had steak tartare and oysters on the half shell for appetizers which were both the best I’ve ever had. They were beautifully plated and just a phenomenal taste. For our entrees I had the ribeye cap American wagyu steak….. made me never want to have another steak besides this one again. The hands down best tasting steak I’ve ever had. Sides were amazing as well. Can’t get enough of this places, 100% worth the price and can’t wait to come again!
