Food was OUTSTANDING. I had the charcoal chicken, which was truthfully the best chicken I’ve had in my life. Even the kale side was fantastic. To me, kale is gross but somehow this chef made it appetizing. The rolls off the appetizer menu was also really good. Hot and crispy. I’d say the service was average, but honestly, the food was so good it made up for it. Prices were extremely reasonable for Philadelphia. Only downside was the bathroom was up a flight of stairs and wasn’t super easy to get to. Definitely will be returning.

This place deserves 5 stars just for the hostess, Tanya, alone. She was absolutely amazing! She confirmed the reservation, and accommodated us as we needed. She even gave one of my friends the children's crossword who found a word for her validating her already finding it. The food was great, and it was a great atmosphere. We definitely plan on coming back.

It was our first time eating here for dinner and we really enjoyed ourselves. The hubby and I usually come for brunch which is also very good. It has a cute date night ambiance. The crab cakes were some of the best we have had. We will definitely be back for dinner!

The crab cakes and octopus were to die for. Everything we ate and drank was excellent. Friendly service.
