Another great night at Mia's! First time getting to experience restaurant week since my two years…read moreof living in the area, and I'm happy that we decided to come here as it gave me the opportunity to try a few things that were on my list to try when I returned. I didn't realize how huge this space actually is--They have seating outside in the front and back, downstairs and upstairs. I actually realized that this was the place I had my very first date LOL back in the day when this place used to be Derek's! Anywho, for starters I had the whipped ricotta which was citrusy, very light and paired with a buttery salted pita that really was a nice touch. For my entree I partook in the salmon dish that was served overtop a bed of asparagus risotto--So so good, I hope this remains on the menu as I'd definitely order this again. And last but not least, for dessert I had the affogato (ice cream and espresso) which was the perfect way to end the night. 10s across the board and our server Vincenzo was such a nice guy, checked on us every time he walked past our table, sweetened my lemonade after I told him it was too sour which I wasn't expecting and he boxed my food although he didn't have to... I'd likely request him the next time I'm here as he made the experience feel special. Thanks guys, we had a great time!

They have small table seating downstairs, but larger parties can seat upstairs, but even with that, there's not a lot of room for larger parties. No problem for us today with a party of 2. I ordered a PB and bacon burger and fries. This burger is SOLID and the fries are also good. The list of burgers are along a pretty wild and wacky range, so stop by for a fun experience with trying something new. The vibe is early 2000's and slightly urban/grunge, but in a casual kind of way. Nice place for a casual dinner, but nothing to go out of your way for. Would definitely stop by if in the area!

It is intimate, friendly, down-to-earth, and totally unique. I don't visit Philly as often as I'd like (I live in NYC but grew up here) and while I'm always keeping up with dining scene, it's rare and thus special when I get to put a space to the name, so the speak. Next of Kin has a quirky, playful, impressively creative menu with drinks that are memorable. We came here at around 10:30pm on a Saturday night after dinner. There was a bit of a line outside which moved slowly, but we were given cute champagne jello shot things for our patience which were delightful and a fun little preview of what to expect on the inside. The seating options consist of tables, bar, and what I believe they call "love pods", all of which are beautifully designed. We were seated at the bar, which is our preference anyway. I always like chatting with the bartenders and hearing about the craft, and it is particularly enjoyable when they're as friendly and generous as the folks who work here. We were talking to them about some of their infusions and they let us try a taste of the coconut mezcal and the bruleed banana infused rum and both were unreal on their own. We ended up getting the Coco Bello (coconut mezcal, apertif, aromatized wine) which is a white negroni variation and the Swamp Thang (green chartreuse, herbal liqueur, pineapple and poblano tepache), which was served in some particularly memorable glassware (pictured). Both drinks were exceptional and complex, the former more sophisticated and the latter wacky and wholly unique.

I wouldn't say anything is particularly special, but nothing we've tried is terribly disappointing either. The menu titles towards guilty pleasure-type food, like Shrimp & Grits or Chicken & Waffles. Plates are large and busy and crowd-pleasing. If you order a salad here, make sure to ask that it be lightly dressed. The ambience and service are both good but diminished because you must shout to be heard by the person next to you.

Dessert wasn't my personal favorite, but I really appreciated that they were willing to get creative and try something I'd never seen before: corn ice cream. Definitely an interesting way to end the meal!

While these transient wretches microwave their Sad Cuisine in their Marriot holding cells, Lark's seventh floor aerie curates a dining experience well worth the exorbitant price tag. The service here is outrageously on-point while the appetizer, pasta and main courses are both inventive and delicious. I love duck and their duck in a currant infused sauce was the best I've ever had... anywhere. Given the tiny portions there's no risk of leaving here "stuffed" but you will leave amazed and satisfied that you have experienced something truly special. As a bonafide hater of foodie hype in any form, I have no choice but to give Lark a resounding five stars. PS... Bala Cynwyd, PA must have more cemeteries (including a sprawling Pet cemetery) per capita than any place on the planet. More poor souls that will never experience Lark.

Cute addition to Chloe's!…read more I'm not sure if this place is open year-round or just in the good weather months, but it seems to be chill no matter when I visit. They often have live music and the bar can serve up a variety of drink specials. While I wouldn't say seating is very limited, I've been around enough to see most if not all the tables filled. You can grab food (or dessert) from Chloe's and enjoy in this laid back area just above the toe path. Of course, you can just come to grab a drink from the shack. Either way, certainly worth a visit, especially on those nice summer days.

The food is delicious and unbeatable when paired with their chili oil and dumpling sauce. You can really taste the love in their handmade dumpling, roast pork buns have lots of filling and not too sweet compared to other places. I usually order 4 smalls things and one entree and share. I will say that their main dishes i.e. the general tso's and sesame chicken aren't my favorites, they are cooked really well and portion size was great, but their sauce is slightly too sweet for me. But ANYTHING dipped in their chili oil/dumpling sauce makes it soooo good. So I still order one of the entrees every time lol I will say I pass on their milk bubble teas (not sure about fruit drinks) but as a former employee at multiple boba tea places, it wasn't good. I think it's because they are really not the focus, but unless they can make time to make them better, it should just not be offered. Regardless, I would recommend this place to everyone and to be sure to get the chili oil and dumpling sauce for take out cause its so unique and makes every dish even better
