Our party ordered 4 spritzes and 1 N/A drink, which they messed up and brought all alcoholic drinks, but quickly fixed it when we noticed. The bartender was very apologetic (though i think our server gave him the wrong order so it wasn't his fault). We also got a cheeseboard to share, which was bigger than the server made it sound and not bad for a little snack between the 5 of us. Overall nothing was super special, but it was a nice spot to stop in and have a drink and a bite. Would consider coming back if I'm killing time in the area.

This is hands-down my favorite bar in Philly! Every time I'm in town, I make it a point to stop by…read more If you're a fan of Belgian beer or rare brews that are almost impossible to find elsewhere, this place is heaven on earth. The first thing I did was head straight for my favorite, Cantillon from Belgium. This visit, I tried their Kriek LG, a fruited lambic made by adding sour cherries to a two-year-old aged lambic. All I can say is... WOW! Tart, complex, refreshing, and dangerously drinkable. If beer could win an Academy Award, this one would be giving an acceptance speech. Now, let's talk food. I ordered the Thai Curry Mussels, and they were absolutely outstanding. The broth was packed with flavor, and the mussels were cooked perfectly. They easily rank in the top five mussel dishes I've ever had, and I've done my research! Pro tip: Don't make the rookie mistake of eating all the bread first. Save some for the end so you can soak up every last drop of that incredible curry broth at the bottom of the bowl. Trust me, you'll thank me later. The service is always excellent. John usually takes care of us in the back, and he consistently makes the experience even better with great recommendations and friendly service. In side is cozy and friendly! If you live in Philly and haven't been here yet, what are you waiting for? Great beer, amazing food, and outstanding service--this place checks every box. Just be warned: one visit and you'll be planning your next trip back before you even leave.

Since the bar seats were full, we had the choice to head all the way to the 2nd rear bar. We took the short journey to the secluded small bar that was also full and took refuge at one of the four tables. We took a look at the "Beer Bible" or their version of a drink menu. The bartender informed us that we could not sit at the table unless we were ordering food. At this point we ended our pub crawl and left defeated scratching our heads. This was far from a classy place without a line out the door during the week which made it even more alarming. Interesting experience as our last taste of Philly.

Wish i could give it a 3.5! Def some winners but misses as well…read more Oysters were excellent (and even came with two different varieties), amberjack crudo paired well with the nectarines/hazelnuts (although couldve used a touch more acid), and the escar-roll was buttery goodness. The cold lamb was interesting but the green sauce on top helped elevate the flavor + our waiter recommended getting fries on the side (and who doesnt love a good fry?!). The trout fell flat for me - still decent but not worth the $42 price tag. Also disappointed that their online menu didnt match what they had in person because i was ready for a steak and couldnt get one unless i wanted to pay $162! Pro tip is to sit outside if you can because it feels v european and is shaded. :)

If they could compliment one another, the dishes left me wanting something more to take the dish to the next level. We sat at the bar, although we don't consume alcohol, I didn't feel like our server made us feel bad about that. It's a very dim, intimate setting. Razor Clams, Leeks, Peas (3/5) - the dish itself is very refreshing and light, the clams seemed hidden Pickled Shrimp, Aioli, Saltines (5/5) - loved the aioli, the pickled shrimp was unique and the juice it was sitting in had a great punch Softshell Crab, Sauce Paloise (4/5) - the batter was the perfect amount and the hollandaise sauce paired well, the greens on top provided a spat of freshness Extra Sour Sourdough, Cultured Butter, Pickles (2/5) - plenty of sourdough, not sure what makes it "extra", cultured butter wasn't anything special, although I love pickles, these could have very well been store bought Lamb Shoulder, Lentils, Turnips, Anchovy (1/5) - the lamb itself was tender and fell apart, but everything on the plate was bitter, the anchovies had no business being paired with lamb, the dish needed some acidity either from a citrus or a fresh vegetable Strawberry Semifreddo, Lemon Curd Pavlova (5/5) - WOW, one of the best desserts I have had in a higher end restaurant in Philly, the crisp meringue added great texture to the dish The menu items rotate so I went in wanting to order certain things but did not find them offered - which is OK! Plenty of food for two of us!

i have been to her place 2x now (3 if you include his place thai supper club) and absolutely…read moredeserving of a michelin star. my favorite thing about her place is that the menu rotates every 3 weeks; it's a different experience every visit. they use local suppliers and the ingredients are fresh and season dependent. if you are a picky eater, this is not the restaurant for you. the food here is creative and unique, each menu is so different but delicious nonetheless. i will say: definitely check the menu beforehand -- if there's something you definitely will not like, try for a different menu rotation. also, her place was much better than the his place pop-up. (his place was not worth the $$$, her place was worth the $$). my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed our last experience here, we already have a reservation booked in may and are excited to see the menu for that rotation. the pasta here is always phenomenal. during the dinner, they typically offer two additional options for entrees -- a pasta and a entree. my boyfriend and i opted in for both this last visit, and they were both phenomenal. i really enjoyed the soft shell crab addition, an indication that summer is here. we were absolutely stuffed by the end of the meal... perhaps we didn't need both add-ons. i absolutely adore how small & intimate this experience is. chef amanda talks about each dish and her inspiration between courses, and she even personally brings food out for the tables. the decor is beautifully thought out with stunning plates, and celebrations will earn you a card, party hats, or a happy birthday song. absolutely perfect for a small celebration or date night! can't wait to come back in may :)

We went toward the tail end of the menu (it's rotates every 3 weeks) and everything was so fresh and delicious. The space is so cute and intimate, which makes sense why it's so hard to get a reservation, it probably holds about 35ish people. Their team is ON IT. Explaining dishes, checking in, offering wine pairings. While you're paying for the delicious food, it's really the experience as well. The food was so incredible and they do such a great job of explaining each dish and the thought process behind it. Everything was so great and even the things my table were a bit intimidated by (raw fish), was fantastic and great to give it a shot! The sourdough cookie handed out with the check literally changed my life. If you have an opportunity to snag a reservation at Her Place, DO IT!

Mini Beef Wellington- prosciutto, mushroom, smoked mustard; 2. Onion Crêpes- gruyère, chives, red wine jus; 3. Wagyu Shortrib Bourginon- red wine, pearl onion, carrot; 4. The Cowboy Ribeye (medium); 5. Mac & Cheese; and 6. Apple Pie- salted caramel ice cream. The Oion crepe was good (tasted like French onion soup). The short rib was good, but very fatty, and Apple pie was good (could have used more cream honestly) The drinks were also good! As for the rest, I LOVE beef Wellington, have it at Gordon Ramsay's in AC a lot. I was so excited they had a beef Wellington appetizer! I can't tell you what tasted so bad in it, but it tasted bad! My wife said it tasted like plastic. I had a second piece thinking it had to be me..maybe too much sauce..nope, it was still off. I saw someone rave about the mac n cheese, however mine had no seasoning or flavor. It tasted like bland melted cheese over plain pasta. The steak was ok, like any other steak. I did ask for medium and it was medium rare (could see the deep red even in the dim light). I didn't bother sending it back since I knew I'd reheat it the next day and bring it to medium. Unfortunately at those prices I would not go back. If the food lived up to the hype, I'd pay those prices in a heartbeat.

The menu offers a selection of seasonal cocktails which are delicious. There are a wide selection of premium and super-premium liquors and wines available. The bar doesn't even stock the cheap stuff - Grey Goose and up. The food is good, but nowhere near as good as the Neighboring Lacroix menu. There are a wide selection of eats which are good but way overpriced. I enjoy the scallops and the Ceaser salad. The presentation for the dishes is beautiful, albeit the modest portions. Bar 210 offers great drinks at expensive, but worthwhile prices. Skip the food here as it is overpriced. Much better to save up and enjoy a fantastic dinner at Lacroix.
