I’m kind of embarrassed I put off coming here for so long because everything about this meal was fantastic. Order all of the pastas. The oysters are great. The swordfish katsu was delicious and light enough to finish on a hot summer evening. Our server was really good, maybe just a millimeter shy of too much. Wish we got dessert but they all looked really good.

What a joy! I’ve hosted several memorable family gathering at this Fishtown gem, which offers well prepared, fresh and delicious meals cooked to perfection with a fiery grill and wood-burning oven. Though known for fish dishes, KQ also offers delicious pasta selections. Not to be overlooked are the meats,including a flavorful ribeye which is tender and wonderfully seasoned. Appetizers were also superb, and the staff is energetic, attentive and full of personality.The tables are well spaced and the seating is comfortable.

I would recommend this place to anyone who had an affinity for seafood. Fairly nice sized portions, good drink/wine list. However, there are two that I wasn’t in love with because of the amount of caraway and Amari – friends with Fred and raspberry beret. We ordered tapas style and got 6 oysters, not listed on the online menu, but prepared very well. Fluke crudo – very tender, though could have done with less olive oil. Little Gem salad, Parisian Gnocchi, especially liked the celery root soubise, and the seared Skate wing – which I felt was the best thing we got. We paired dinner with the favorita and inzolia white.

Easy to say the food was amazing, drinks were spectacular but the best part for me was the service. I travel a lot for work, spoiled by growing up in Austin with a service filled town I have struggled to find what I personally feel is overwhelmingly good service from staff.

This may just be one of the best places to enjoy seafood in Philadelphia. Kensington Quarters has a great selection of oysters, all of which are delicious. With a wide variety of fish prepared a miriad of ways, seafood lovers will leave satisfied and delighted in their choice of eatery.

The back porch is amazing! Menu is best for sharing with 2+ people. Every bite is perfection! From the raw items to the large plates, you cannot go wrong! This place should be a Michelin star restaurant!

Happy with the food and service. Very upset about the new credit card fee. 90% of people pay with card so the menu prices should reflect that payment method

Great brunch menu! Super friendly service, tasty options. Eggs Florentine on awesome milk bread. Tender omelette and delicious potatoes, only thing is size:) my husband said he would eat more 🙂 and of course jelly donut, freshly made! And couldn’t not to point out the hay straw, quite cool eco friendly option and it will last through the brunch time, not like paper ones. Lastly they have inside and outside spaces, definitely kids friendly.
