Pleasantly surprised by food and atmosphere, in an old warehouse, the recent renovations work perfectly with the atmosphere. The service was good, servers are very interactive. Food options are not what you’d see on a regular Philadelphia menu, I would recommend everything we got, very much fusion food well done. We got EVERY dessert on the menu, we couldn’t eat it all at the time, but I grazed on it for two days. We got Relleno de Papa, steak and peppers, cod escovitch, and from all the deserts I’d recommend the coco cheesecake flan if you choose one.

Only stopped for a beer, but staff were very friendly, a good selection of beverages and whilst I didn’t eat, the menu and food served to tables looked good. A good selection of indoor and outdoor seating. Some seats have table umbrellas. Reasonable prices too. Recommended if in the area.

I had high hopes going into this place. It’s a great location and venue but it doesn’t seem quite there. The menu is small and a bit undecided what it’s going for. The food was beautifully plate but difficult to eat. I got the BTA and my egg was still clear/gooey and I ended up not eating the bread. Potatoes were on point! My server was very attentive and welcoming.

I came in for a drink and snacks before heading out for the night. George tended to me and he was great. Awesome personality and helpful with the menu. I left my glasses back home and he suggested I go get them and watched my things at the table til I returned. He was the reason I stayed for another beer! He checked on me just the right amount and didn’t hover at all. I came in alone and wasn’t rushed, even as it got more crowded. The beer menu is eh. I’m a sour drinker so I was disappointed that there wasn’t one on the menu. A suggestion was made and I opted for it; it was barely cold but I drank it anyhow. I then opted for the Newtrail Pilsner which was better. I ordered french fries, soup and the eggplant dip. The food was mediocre but the location is great. Excellent people watching and terrific staff. Definitely will be back for a cocktail next time!

The environment and overall vibes were really good, but the food was mediocre. I recommend just going to pregame and skipping the food!
