An overall eloquent casual vibe. No rush or pressure to hurry thru a meal. Very European. The best half chicken in Philadelphia. Wonderful tastes and texture. The carrots and sauce were exactly the right compliment. Wonderful Menu selections in every course.

As one of Philadelphia’s top 50 restaurants, it was great to get the opportunity to dine here. It started off strong with the crispy oyster mushrooms. These were followed by cheese filled puffs gougeres. My octopus and bacon lardons were slightly overcooked in my opinion. My branzino was excellent with the crispiest skins I have ever had. My friend had the famous burger and thought it was just okay (missing something). Service was excellent and our seating was good! Overall I would say a very good but surprisingly not excellent!

If you are not a vegetarian, please take this review with a grain of salt since we did not taste the meat dishes.

This is definitely a more upscale option for Brunch/Lunch/Dinner. The service is amazing from start to finish and we had a great time.

First timer here and really enjoyed dining here. The ambiance is very nice – dim light but not too dark. The food there was very good – good for sharing a few dishes. I particularly enjoyed the gougères and the bavette steak. Flavors as well as cooking was very good. The gnocchi dish was a bit on the heavier side but also very good.

Very cute restaurant and we were able to get in during lunch rush pretty quickly. The service was a little slow and my burger was super undercooked but everyone else at my tables food was cooked perfectly so I would still recommend trying this restaurant out!

Food: GOOD. We only tried a few apps with our drinks. And they were decent and reasonably priced for being center and close to Rittenhouse Sq.

Wow!!! That liver appetizer is like a good drug!!! Our server, whom I believe was named Elizabeth or Ashley (sorry too much fantastic wine) was super knowledgeable and excellent at her job! Even though I don’t live here, I would come back to Philly just for this restaurant!

An absolute gem in Philadelphia that I was fortunate to visit on a recent business trip. The staff was very attentive and welcoming. Top notch food and excellent wine list that focuses on natural wines.
