Service was excellent. Very friendly, helpful, and quick. Pleasant conversation with the bartender. The wine was also very good, best glasses of wine I've had in a while. Each one was flavorful but different from each other. I liked this place so much I came back the next night with a friend. The following night I had their orange wine, which was also really really good. Highly recommend.

My friends and I dined at Picnic for the first time last week, and we had an incredible experience…read more We were a table of eight, including two toddlers and a baby, and since some of us had already had a big lunch, we weren't particularly hungry. Despite that, our server, Dennis, was incredibly warm, kind, and attentive. He treated us with so much care and respect that you would have thought we had ordered the entire menu. You don't always receive that level of hospitality, especially when you're a large group taking up a significant table and not ordering a ton, so I especially appreciated how genuinely welcoming Dennis was. The food was also fantastic. Definitely order the grilled potato salad and the rotisserie chicken with the Peruvian salsa verde. They were both delicious. We're just a short drive away, so we'll absolutely be back. Good food is easy to find, but genuine hospitality is much harder to come by. Dennis made our first visit to Picnic feel especially memorable, and we're already looking forward to returning.

My wife and I came here for happy hour and it definitely did not disappoint!…read more The happy hour oysters were only $2 each and SO fresh. We also got the Oysters Rockefeller, which were extremely good too. But lowkey... the star of the show was the chicken sliders!! I completely forgot to take a picture of them, but if you see them on the menu, PLEASE get them. You won't regret it. The fries with the aioli were really good too, they reminded me of those crispy fries you get at the beach, which I loved. The drinks were probably the only thing that didn't wow us. The cocktails were a little too sweet for our liking, but definitely not a dealbreaker. Overall, really nice spot with cool vibes, great oysters, delicious food, and pretty good service. We'd definitely come back, especially for those $2 oysters and chicken sliders!

I enjoy wine and trying variations so it was a no brainer that this would be fitting for my pre-birthday hang out. Upon entering there weren't many other patrons in this small establishment so it felt like our private space for our group of 8 for some time during the Saturday evening. At some point we gave a cocktail a try as well. But this is certainly a nice low key space to connect, socialize, try a flight, cocktail, or pick up a bottle.

I'm not a big drinker but, it was smooth, perfectly sweet and delicious, I was letting go and kept deciding for them to pour me up some more! The cheese board was great! Woke up thinking about it for three days after. If I say nothing else, let me say how I LOVED the beef prosciutto, simply as an option. I don't eat pork and usually the prosciutto option is pork, I have never seen it as beef before and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered two packets. One I ate on its own and one for the cheese board. The place is pretty, there are comfortable chairs and seating arrangements. I sat both on the couch and at the bar. I usually hate bar seating. The bartenders were nice and helpful as well! This place is kinda pricey tho, we weren't expecting to spend as much as we did, but maybe we were also having a little too much fun! Because of this, this spot won't be our weekly spot or a place to frequent often which is disappointing. Was between rating this spot between a 3 and 4, but think it's better rated as 4 star and it's worth a try! There is also a seating area outside across the street that sells food, seemed very lively, but didn't check it out.

Okay, hear me out and listen to the entire review:…read more TL;DR VERY EXPENSIVE We came here for our anniversary because reviews were wonderful and the menu looked very European i.e. smaller plates with big flavors and delicious cocktails. Our order, pre-meditated was for oysters, octopus, and the 'plateau du marche' aka cheese and meat plate. All sounds good, right? The oysters were WAY too small for $21 (6 in total), the octopus was cut up into small pieces equaling about 1/2 a tentacle but they filled the plate with a few pieces of sausage and potatoes to make it look like the plate was full. It was not. Plus the sauce it comes with was way too acidic. The cheese an meat plate costing $26 has only a few slices of meat, 4 slices of old crusty bread, a few crumbles of cubed cheese, and very very very small pitted olives. Honestly, it was embarrassing. We had to end up ordering their happy hour breads which were fine but after dropping a pretty penny we shouldn't have to order MORE food... As far as the drinks go, I just don't understand the justification in charging $16 for a N/A drink... I ended up sending it back because after one sip on my part and another on my bartender husband's part we both agreed that it was repulsive. And I never send drinks back. Service, lovely and attentive Atmosphere 100% inviting and the view of the fountain made it all magical Drinks WAY too expensive Food WAY too small and incredibly overpriced Flavors - fine but definitely not worth the price tag All in all we went for a few cocktails and something to munch on and left with a $200 bill. No leftovers. A great date night spot if you're looking to drop a dime and a half to impress your mate but honestly, I was extremely disappointed. We left hungry, sober, and confused as to where our money went.

I had the quinoa bowl which was really good and not too pricey. The bowl had a perfect balance, especially if you mix the cream cheese around. If I was walking around the area, I would come back here again. This seems to be a more local spot compared to the heavily touristy restaurants right on Rittenhouse Square nearby.

I had heard this place was one of the best pasta restaurants in Philly and it loved up to the hype!…read moreWe came here for dinner on a Friday night and it was superb! Highly recommend making a reservation as it's a small place with about enough table seating for 20-30 people at a time. For food with started off with the focaccia which was divine! It had the perfect amount of sweet salt and the bread was still soft with the perfect crunch. For mains, we had the vodka rigatoni which was delicious! It wasn't that spicy to me but was the perfect portion size. The pasta didn't come with the option to add a protein so that's something to keep in mind. I loved that all the drinks they offered were made locally by PA breweries and wineries. They also have an amazing share meal deal that allows you to try multiple dishes for a good price. Can't wait to try this place again the next time I'm in Philly

Our waitress actually let us sample a few of the wines, since we couldn't decide! This was awesome and so rare these days, but a definite plus for any "wine bar". That being said, the food was really underwhelming. The highlight for me was the tuna crudo, which was so flavorful, creative, and absolutely melted in my mouth. The carrots were also really good. The pastas, however, which the place is known for, lacked flavor. The menu descriptions seemed super unique and innovative, but when the dishes arrived, they were seriously lacking. I really did come here for the pasta, and since the meal wasn't exactly cheap, I don't think I'll be rushing back.

Huge bar, giant wall of liquor bottles, dim lighting, and a cool old-school vibe. I told the bartender that ordering a beer in a place like this felt like I was insulting him. He laughed and told me not to worry about it. The drink special was called "Naked and Famous," which honestly sounded like the perfect cocktail to order in honor of Jen. But then I spotted a dark beer on the menu that sounded too good to pass up. If you follow me, you know I'm slowly becoming a dark beer guy. I liked it a lot. The sandwich special was a cheesesteak. Sorry, I should've taken a picture of the menu. But I really enjoyed it, and for $18 it came with a mountain of seasoned fries, which feels like a bargain these days. Bomb Shell: the two people working absolutely crushed it. I don't know if they were understaffed or if Monday night got busier than expected, but they were working their tails off the entire time. Even with that, they stayed polite, friendly, helpful, and incredibly accommodating to the guy carrying around a mannequin. Great visit to Sassafras!
