Love the service, each worker Interacted with was lovely. Food was good, I wasn’t blown away, but I would go again. Loved the warm olives, pleasantly surprised. We got the crab croquettes, olives, pint of prawns, and lamb shepherd pie.

Absolutely delicious meal. House made ricotta was delightful. Tandoori chicken was cooked perfectly and the shepards pie had an amazing depth of flavor. Service was perfect with great cocktails and beer selection.

Wow! Came here for a team dinner and was blown away by the whole experience. The decor in this establishment is so well done and the food is fantastic. The homemade ricotta is out of this world. The deviled eggs were also delicious. I ordered the tandoori chicken for dinner and the portion was so large. It looked like I barely ate anything but I tried my best because it was SO good. The chef sent out a variety of little pastries for dessert and the little chocolate cake was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. It was fudgy inside and just melted in your mouth. Their drinks are also not to be missed. I had an early grey cocktail that was delightful. I also ordered their honey rooibos tea with dessert which was served in a beautiful bone china teacup. I will definitely be back next time I’m in town.

What a great place! My brother recently moved to Philly so we had a family dinner here. Everyone loved their food and the service was great. Definitely would love to go back! Highly recommend! The corner booth felt like the best seat of the house!

I really liked this spot. Brunch in Philly is pretty lame but offers a proper omelette / French toast investment. I hate going to brunch why am I paying $15 for eggs and bacon when I can do it better myself ?! I loved the French toast, it’s huge so better to share (unless you’re a bottomless pit, go off, go for it!). The Pimm’s Deluxe is *chef’s kiss* a freaking fresh summer delight. This cucumber refresher meets a perfectly mixed gin cocktail. I’m hyped to try more of their drinks and people watch from their outdoor tables.

Love love LOVE this place! The ambiance is on point. Sat at the bar, service is excellent. The rabbit pie is insanely good. It’s a rabbit and mushroom gravy with a puff pastry on top and it’s chocked full of rabbit! The flavor is nothing short of delightful. The drinks! I tried a Pim’s Deluxe which is amazing if you like cucumber. I love cucumber so this drink was perfect for me. I also tried the Rose Mimosa. Yum! The cask beer is really cool, they even explain on the menu how it works. We finished our experience with the Banoffee Trifle. Husband was craving banana so this was perfect. The presentation is lovely and the flavors work together so well. I wish we lived here so I could come back often. The tea time looks lovely as does the rest of the menu. I will say, if you need a large quantity of food to feel full, you will spend a lot here to do that. The portions are not large but appropriately sized; no to-go box necessary. 10/10 will come back next time we’re in the area.

walked by and thought-let’s try this place. we were seated immediately by a friendly staffer. the atmosphere was light and the staff were all so nice. we were served quickly and the food was delicious! ricotta was creamy-the beets were perfectly pickled -the pint of pawns was perfectly cooked and fresh and the bangors and mash very tasty. (a little gamey for me but i don’t love meat).

Atmosphere: 1/1: Fun atmosphere. First floor feels like an English pub. The 2nd and 3rd floor have more of a house made into restaurant vibe.

Probably the best Benedict and French Toast I’ve ever had. The French Toast had a nice light crisp on the outside with good interior texture and not too sweet. Lovely interior, but also great outdoor seating/dog friendly. Great coffee 🙂 Amazing!!
