This restaurant was so good that we went back a second night while we were visiting Philadelphia. On our recent annual trip up the east coast to visit the north east part of the country this year, my wife and I stayed a couple days in Philadelphia. One of the highlights of our trip in the way of food was Keatings Rope and Anchor. On the first night, we sat outside overlooking the water and it was very romantic. If you have the option of sitting outside or sitting inside, I highly recommend sitting outside. We were not that hungry on the first night so we both ordered salads. My wife ordered the chicken Caesar salad and I ordered a special of the day Caprese salad. They were both absolutely delicious and the portion to price ratio was right on par. We were absolutely exhausted on day two and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal from evening one that we decided to go back. I am so glad that we did. We both had the Keating's famous double burger and I normally don't find anything special about a burger in this case, however, The burger was cooked to absolute perfection. I cannot tell you how many times I have asked for a medium burger and it comes out somewhere between medium well and well done. In this case, there was just enough pink on the inside of the burger that it was hands-down one of the best burgers I've had in a very long time. The staff was awesome, the restaurant was clean, and we had a wonderful experience.

I recently went to Philadelphia for a wedding and we stayed at the Hilton at Penn's Landing. After…read morean early morning flight and not eating, I decided to come down to the hotel restaurant for lunch. I ordered the avocado and crab salad to eat and a blood orange margarita to drink. The salad was okay. A heaping serving of crab, with half an avocado on top and served on a bed of lettuce. So not the most complex of flavors, but it was fine. The margarita was a tad on the sweet side for me. The service was excellent. My server was friendly and attentive. He gave me a few recommendations for how to spend my time in Philly and was prompt with taking my order as well as bringing out the food (but given my description of my salad above, I would expect it to be easy prep and quick to come out). The ambiance was very nice. The hostess sat me at a window seat right next to the water. The view was gorgeous and a perfect solo lunch where I got to read my book and await for the wedding festivities. If I didn't stay at the hotel, I probably would not have gone out of my way to eat here, but it's a good option to have for vibes and drinks.

Every time I visit Philly, this is one place I have to stop for a great cheesesteak. I always have…read morea positive experience -- the service is friendly, the food is consistently good, and I leave satisfied every time. The meat is well-seasoned, flavorful, and exactly what I look for in a Philly cheesesteak. On my most recent visit, I was a little disappointed with the fries, as they tasted like they had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while rather than being freshly prepared. That said, I'll give them a pass -- my visit was during the World Cup, and I'm sure the team was overwhelmed handling a much larger-than-normal crowd. Beyond the cheesesteak, this place has an excellent beer selection and a menu full of other sandwiches and dishes that are just as enjoyable. It's a spot I'll continue to return to whenever I'm in Philly.

The way I love them. Handmade chips. I wonder how you make this. Then my wife and I got a ceased salad with chicken and BLT both to share. I pulled the B off my LT since I can't have it. But it was delicious. It came with potato salad that was made with olive oil and no mayo. Tasted like it might actually be good for you! Salad was delicious too. For bar food everything tasted surprisingly healthy. But maybe that was just my perception? We got a lot of food. Service was great. Nice that they have their own section to sit.

On a recent unexpected trip overnight to Philadelphia when my layover at the airport led to…read morecancelled flights, I decided to head into the city and stay for the night at the Hyatt Centric Rittenhouse Square Philadelphia. Upon arrival, I learned that the Patchwork Restaurant & Bar is where the happy hour specials, dinner options, and in the morning, breakfast takes place. I enjoyed the food and service during my visit for breakfast before heading back to the airport the next day. The Patchwork Philly has a restaurant, a bar, and a market. The restaurant includes breakfast, brunch, dinner, bar-cocktail, happy hour, and dessert. The happy hour menu is only valid at the bar. Reservations can be made on OpenTable. Breakfast is served until 10:30 AM. They serve omelettes (Denver, Egg White, and Patchwork omelets), sweets (yoghurt parfait, ricotta pancakes, and steelcut oatmeal), savory dishes (Italian-inspired breakfast plate, eggs benedio, croissant sandwich), drinks, sides, and the breakfast buffet with chef's daily selections including coffee and tea. The buffet was great! It included fruits (dried and fresh), breads, meats, eggs, and so much more. And even better, for those with Hyatt Globalist status, you get a free breakfast at Patchwork Philly! You can learn more about Patchwork Philly at https://patchworkphilly.com including menus, reservations, events & private dining, information about the chef, a photo gallery, and social media links. They are open for breakfast on weekdays from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM. Brunch is on the weekends from 7 AM to 12 Noon. Dinner is Sunday through Thursday from 5 PM to 9 PM and Friday and Saturday from 5 PM to 10 PM. The bar is open on Sunday through Thursday from 4 PM to 9 PM and Friday and Saturday from 4 PM to 11 PM. Happy hour is weekdays from 4 PM to 6 PM and includes discounted dishes from parmesan fries, arancini, shrimp cocktail, and a burger and beer vibe combo. Bar snacks include olives, spiced nuts, popcorn duo, and onion dip. I'd assume there are happy hour drink specials, too. The quick service and tasty food made Patchwork Philly a great food option at the Hyatt Centric, and if I stay there again, I'll jump at eating again at Patchwork Philly!

Ate dinner here to spend room credits received as part of AMEX The Hotel Collection…read more The happy hour menu looked like a good deal, but we decided to eat during dinner time instead. It was super quiet during dinner time. Only a handful of people were getting a drink at the bar area. I don't think Patchwork is the type of restaurant where non-hotel guests would eat at. I ordered the steak frites and my friend ordered the roast chicken. Our orders took a long time to come (over half hour) which is wild given it was prime dinner time and there were no other dinner guests. When it came out, the dishes were large, but they tasted mediocre. My steak was overcooked and had tough tendon through half of it. My friend's chicken wasn't too dry, but neither of us liked the sauce which was a bit sour. We wouldn't eat here if it wasn't for the credit. Since we had extra credits remaining after the dinner, we spent the remainder on kind bars from their grab and go section. When we checked out, the folio showed an incorrect charge from the kind bars purchase. We even spoke with the Patchwork staff who pulled up our receipts and stuff. The receipts showed the correct amount, but the resulting charge to my folio was double of what we actually purchased. After spending half an hour trying to figure this out, the on-duty manager said that she'll tell the General Manager to process the refund for us, but I never received it. I got in contact with the GM but still pending updates. It's only a $13 problem, but I'm more concerned why their POS would double charge me on my folio versus what the signed purchase receipt says.

We stay at…read moreeither the Kimpton Monaco by Independence Hall, or here at the Kimpton Palomar by Rittenhouse Square. For Kimpton Palomar, the bar/restaurant is Square 1682. It's at the corner, and off the lobby, so stands on its own in addition to being a haven for hotel guests. We stopped in the evening for drinks and then took wine to the room, but then came back in the morning for breakfast. The service is very, very good. Staff are friendly, prompt, and helpful. No issues. The ambiance is a modern hotel bar, upscale. It's a welcoming enough space, with a variety of seating options. The food was great. For breakfast I forget the exact name, but it was basically a play on cheesesteak but as an eggs Benedict. I love a good Benedict for brunch, and this hit the spot. The potatoes were OK. They were really crispy and good, generally but there was some pockets that were oversalted, like the balance was off. Recommended, but not a full 5 stars due to the salting.

What a disappointing breakfast. We shared the Philly Special. I will say it was good size portion,…read morebut the flavor could use work. First, the home fries were overly salty. I generally like stronger flavors, but this was too much. It overpowered the other flavors, so while the spices and other flavors were good, the saltiness made it difficult to eat. Oddly enough, the Benedict itself was under seasoned. I couldn't even tell if there salt in there. The Benedict portion tasted rather bland. The one good thing about the inconsistency was that I could combine the fries with the Benedict to balance out the flavors better. Also, when they described it as pork, I wasn't expecting a pulled pork consistency. I will say that the service was good overall. They were attentive, even asking if we wanted an extra plate for sharing before we could ask. It is also a nice ambiance. I originally did not want to write this review because I believe every place deserves at least two chances (and sometimes it can be an off-day). However, after hearing someone else who stayed at the hotel say they had similar experience with the food at dinner, I felt I needed to write this review. If it weren't for the $20 credit that needed to be used, I likely wouldn't eat here again.
