i have been to her place 2x now (3 if you include his place thai supper club) and absolutely deserving 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 :) read more

What an incredible experience at Her Place! I've heard so many wonderful things and I'm so glad I finally got to check it out. 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! read more

Would call this a 4.5 rounded up. Aside from the main course, all of the savory dishes were delicious...their sauces are superb. Dessert was also a standout. I was a bit letdown by the main dish, which was effectively roast chicken - kinda lame for a restaurant of this caliber. Service is pretty mechanized and not particularly personal (likely given the supper club concept where everyone eats the same thing at the same time). Pacing was fairly quick (was finished in less than two hours)...expect to leave satisfied but not stuffed. Despite a few quibbles, overall I enjoyed my meal at Her Place and it's indisputably a great value for the quality of food. read more

Finally got to try this place and had an absolutely incredible experience and meal. Started off with the crudo which was so fresh and flavorful - definitely on of my favorite courses of the night. The roasted lamb was so delicious as well. It was so tender melted in my mouth. The arugula and fresh pecorino on top complemented the dish perfectly! Two other standouts were the mushroom tortelli and the rhubarb frangipane dessert. The tortelli was soft and pillowy cooked with cremini mushrooms and brown butter - and you can never go wrong with pasta. Lastly, this dessert blew me away. I never had rhubarb before but it was tart and paired nicely with the delicious vanilla whip. I love almond flavoring so the frangipane was up my alley. I would definitely love to return and try some new dishes. read more

Finally made it to Her Place and already dying to go back. We loved every bite of this meal! I especially enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. It's not uptight or stuffy despite having the Michelin recognition. Amanda was chatting with us while she prepped different dishes and was super friendly. I'm seriously impressed with the quality and quantity of food for $97/person. We opted to add on both specials and were properly stuffed, you certainly don't need to add any specials, there's plenty of food without them, but I highly recommend you do! The pasta special (pesto pasta) was one of my favorite bites. read more

Finally made it to her place and wow! The food was aweomseee. I was a little nervous at first because it was a seafood heavy menu and I can be picky with seafood but I enjoyed every dish! The chef talks about each dish which is really cool. Its super small in there, it feels like your actually at a dinner party. I absolutely loved the decor. They gave us a warm chocolate chip cookie at the end and it was one of the best ive ever had. It was a set menu and every dish was unique and delicious. Would love to get back here again! My faves were the lamb and the tortelli. 10/10 chefs kiss read more

finally got to try her place after they received a michelin star! the service was great, everyone was very kind. we did get there a little early & unfortunately everyone had to stand outside in the freezing cold which sucked it's nice and cozy inside - very small space with an open kitchen. onto the food, it was all pretty good! my favorite was definitely the beef tartare and the mushrooms. SOOO good! super flavorful. we did add on the beef cheek cavatelli which was delicious! to be honest, if we didn't have the add on i'm not sure if we would be full at the end of our meal haha overall it was a nice experience & i enjoyed how we ended dinner with a mini cookie straight out the oven & a little bag of duck fat chex mix! they also passed out notebooks to each table so we could leave a message. their menu changes every 3 weeks :) i would come again! read more

Newly awarded a Michelin star, this restaurant has definitely earned the honor! The food was delicious and well prepared. Pay attention to the dates reservations are released on as they only have about 24 seats and tables go quick! Their tasting menu was fantastic and filling - at a great price as well. We had the passionfruit old fashioned as well. read more

After a long wait, I finally snagged a reservation on Halloween night at this amazing place. My best friend was flying in from Charlotte and we were spending the weekend together to celebrate her birthday and this was the ideal place to do it! There are eight tables and two bar seatings at this quaint yet comfortable place. You really feel like you're in someone's home being very well care of! The menu changes every two weeks and we were there when they just started their autumn menu. The service is exceptional. Each course is so well thought of each course was better than the next. You can also choose to add one or two additional courses in addition to the standard fair. We opted for both and we're happy that we did. It's an incredible place and the whole atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. The staff even signed a birthday card for my friend and sang happy birthday and even made a special birthday cake for her and the two other people who were celebrating. There's a reason this place is one of the top 10 restaurants in Philadelphia! I can't wait to return. read more

4-stars for Philly's Princess, Her Place? Yes, I know and I'm sorry. Her Place's reputation precedes it and for good reason. The concept is impressive but I left feeling like it was overhyped. If you live under a rock and haven't heard the buzz about this place, it's incredibly small, reservations required, and tasting menu only. They are only open during the week, too. That's right, no Saturday or Sunday hours. We managed to snag a reservation last minute or more specifically, my boyfriend did. This place was high on his list of spots to check out while visiting Philly. I was interested but not particularly thrilled considering the menu does not accommodate for dietary restrictions, and being gluten free, that's not the best sign. The restaurant did their due diligence and warned us of this by email and recommended we check out their sister restaurant, My Loup, instead but we threw caution to the wind -- whatever I couldn't eat I'd avoid. Looking back, I would've just skipped this place altogether and if you have dietary restrictions, I recommend you do, too. It just won't be the same experience. Again, in all fairness, the staff did warn us about this. We were seated at possibly the worst table I've ever been seated at in the history of restaurants. It was right by the door, actually almost in front of the door. Fellow patrons had to literally squeeze behind the back of my chair to get by and I couldn't help but think how it was lucky I'm a relatively mid-size person because for anyone larger, this would be a very uncomfortable seating arrangement. There were no hooks for purses or tote bags, of which we had two, and no one offered to hang them up so they sat on the floor. I didn't want to put my purse on the back of my chair because again, my chair was in front of the door and I didn't like the idea of it being out of sight and easily accessible to anyone walking in. Our table seemed smaller than the rest (or at least turned more horizontal than vertical to account for the small space) so things got crowded fast between the water, wine, candle, and food. Did I spill my entire glass of red wine and did it immediately stain our bags sitting on the floor? Of course I did. Might I suggest Her Place invest in some hooks? "Supper club" is certainly an accurate way for them to describe themselves but the quaint and friendly environment you'd expect was lacking. Other servers seemed to be chatting it up warmly with their guests but our server was oddly cold. I thought I was just getting in my head about it (the whole "spilling red wine everywhere in the first 20 minutes of the meal" didn't make me feel right at home), but my boyfriend also noticed the distant interactions. She only started to ask us questions about ourselves about halfway through the meal and interactions were brief and almost curt. The most warming interaction of the night was with one of the chefs who came around handing out sourdough chocolate chip cookies to each person. She was so friendly and seemed grateful we were there. I'm writing this review a few months after the experience and can honestly say I don't remember the rest of the food off the top of my head. Do I remember it being good? Sure, but nothing stands out the way you'd expect a meal like this would. What does stand out is feeling packed in like a sardine and the standoffish service. read more

Simply incredible. Also my most expensive meal to date but well worth it imo The setting is intimate and staff are very attentive. There is a description of each course beforehand. All the ingredients are locally sourced and extremely fresh. The way they create the dishes enhances the ingredients flavors and meld together seamlessly. read more

I don't know what to say after spending 6 months trying to get a reservation at this "Micheline starred" place. I finally got a reservation, maybe I had too high expectations. The atmosphere was toooooo loud to talk, similar to a loud bar. Loud music, and loud people's voice. I could not have a conversation with my partner. I know it is a supper club, not a restaurant. But customers should be able to have a conversation at a "Micheline starred" place. All dishes were so sour including dessert. Maybe it was the "sour theme" that night. I could not eat anything. Our table happened to be on top of the AC vent. The cold air was blowing right into me. The staff was nice enough to over the vent with a book. They really should not put a table at the locaction. read more

Amanda Shulman's Her Place Supper Club is a cozy, intimate, all women-chef powerhouse. I'd recommend only going for birthdays, but the high price tag does reflect the large portion of food! --- The menu rotates every few weeks, Tock reservations are mandatory and there are 6 PM and 8:30 PM seatings- 2 hours of dining time. You will not be seated early. There are no dietary accommodations and no substitutions. I dined on the first day of their summer bone in fillet menu, and it was such a treat. The dining experience is broken up into appetizer courses, break, entree courses, break, and then dessert. There are always optional add-ons (extra $$) which can be added after the appetizers. If you don't get the add-ons, you just sit around until other patrons are done eating to continue your meal wherever the set menu paused. The food is plated for 2 to share for most appetizers, and of your own portion for the entrees. My table's favorite offerings were the pecorino popovers, crab cake, and bone in fillet. Everything was cooked to perfection and the menu was cohesive. The popovers were unbelievably fluffy, tender, and creamy. The crab cake was large and juicy. The bone in fillet was one of the best pieces of steak I've ever had- melt in your mouth tender. We felt the corn cappellettis were also very interesting, if not a bit too sweet. Overall, we were a little split on the rest of the set menu items- everything was cooked well but we disagreed on flavors. I personally felt many things were too salty/sweet, while others thought they weren't salty/sweet enough. However, I still would classify this meal as one of the most memorable I've had in a while based on the experience. Although I know the small, dark, and cozy interior is part of the charm for some, I felt it made my dining experience really negative. The seating had ~8 small tables, and some limited kitchen counter seating where you can watch the food being cooked and speak with the staff, which seemed pretty cool! As an inherent issue with any set menu and because the tables are small, if you don't eat fast enough to "keep up" with the speed of service, there isn't much room to place other plates, so I felt very rushed as a slow eater. As a small space, I felt the restaurant was very loud, which for me didn't reflect an intimate dining space. Lastly, the service was phenomenal but hurried. After the initial check in for drink orders, the wait staff was quick to replace utensils, bring plates, and clear them. However, as all staff was working at light speed to keep up with the courses, our table found it difficult to flag anyone down for anything "more", like more water, order more drinks, or to take a photo. I even put my hand up and was ignored and gave up. As my group was there to celebrate a graduation and indicated it on the reservation that we had a "celebration," we were sad to see it was never acknowledged. The guests' who were there to celebrate their birthdays had party hats at their seats, were serenaded with the birthday song, and received an extra small "dessert." It wasn't a big deal, but felt a little disappointing seeing all the fanfare for birthdays and receiving no acknowledgement for other "occasions." The set menu was priced at $125/pp, we got two additional plates, and our final rounded cost was $195/pp. For the amount of food and courses, we felt it was definitely fair! However, I personally would only recommend going for birthdays. read more

If i were to recommend this place, i would say stick to the tasting menu and avoid the overpriced (more than other places) alcohol. Go get drinks beforehand or afterwards - bc it's not worth it. Maybe get one add on if you know you'll like it because it's def not worth the price tag in my opinion. Overall, i dont think the price is synonymous with value. The food is delicious... But cozy, nothing blow your mind and overpriced with cheap ingredients. Also felt it was disjointed as a whole meal along with the ambience and playlist. I don't think it's a very good value for the experience. read more

Eight small tables, decorative prints, and an open kitchen concept welcome you into Chef Amanda Shulman and her team's supper club nestled on 17th and Sansom. After seating, you'll find a list of the evening's dishes, which rotates once every three weeks. On the back of the menu also features the list of sources for their ingredients--all local! In between each course, the kitchen team shares how the dishes are prepared and a breakdown of each dish. There's also add-ons to the pre fixe lineup, of which we couldn't resist indulging into. Our heavy favorites included both the add-on scallops, sourced from New Jersey, and the pork chop, that featured a special cut that highlights the marble and fat. The meal overall consisted of roughly four small bites that served as the first course, then our two pasta dishes, the pork chop, and finalized with a delicious strawberry shortcake. While the restaurant serves high-end quality food, it's an at-home feel that makes you feel connected to the tables around you. The end of the meal presents a small notebook you can leave custom notes for the team, which I thought was a special, approachable touch. The restaurant opens RSVPs once every three weeks, and the spots go quick! It truly met the expectations I believed in, and at $95/person for the seating, Her Place stands among the top spots in the city. read more

So I really love this model. Dinner U.S. such a difference when you do this type of place. In a nutshell- only like 8 tables with a couple at each. 8:30 to 10:30. They serve you things you can share. All ingredients are local. They wine and dine you. Between each dish they explain what it is and how it is prepared. Reminded me of Brush land eating up in the Hudson valley. I think the preselected menu really allows the people preparing the meal to shine. The food was to die for. The lamb was cooked to perfection. We got scallops that were absolutely delicious. I'm even normally afraid of eating rabbit but it was shredded and deep fried and holy Sheet! My favorite thing was the beef tartare. It had mushrooms and tiny little potato chips on top. I could've eaten more of that all night. I guess there is no use in describing each dish because it will never be the same. A little cramped. Just hard to get the real Immersive experience. However, it was cool that they asked us to talk to our read more

Her Place - Nice art - French Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Lives up to its name of being a supper club, a very cozy dining room with only room for 24 guests per service so getting a coveted seat may take some time. The ambiance was just right, dim comfy lighting, relaxed decor, and a view right into the kitchen. Chef Amanda paused the room every few courses to explain the dishes and give some back story. Each course was unique with skill and presentation, with the unifying piece being the amazing sauces used for each course. The ingredients all mingled so well. Various textures and tastes balanced within each course. The squash dish was one of my favorites - had a bit of sour and sweet, soft and crunchy. Fried ring on top of soft squash ring. Sweet and tart sauce with blue cheese and hazelnuts. The francobolli and duck l'orange also both had a wonderfully creamy sauce. Nothing was overpowering either, you could taste individual flavors so well. I opted for the swordfish addition in a saffron sauce, though this was a bit more subtle. Swordfish steak was just perfectly juicy and tender. Closing out the meal was a warm apple tart which was quite large, topped with grated sharp cheddar. Definitely remembering that trick for my own baking, it complemented the apple so well. A nice scoop of vanilla also came with on the side. We were also treated to a small cookie and some duck fat barbecue Chex mix to take home which was a nice touch to close out the meal. This was a well put together tasting menu with amazing ingredients and cooking skills on display to enjoy. Thanks read more

I was definitely skeptical of Her Place because the price seemed outrageously high for Philly (this has to be one of the most expensive prix fixe menus in Philly). My readiness to declare the restaurant overrated immediately vanished after the first bite of food. Every item that was served was unique, with many layers of flavor. What really makes Her Place stand out is the dining experience. The limited seating, the visible kitchen, and the chef explaining each item as they were served made for a very unique dining experience. The menu changes on a regular basis and outside of the prix fixe menu, there were add-ons that we got, which were all well worth it. I left Her Place full and with a strong admiration for the chef and the amount of effort she has put into creating new dishes on a regular basis to create the unique dining experience that's Her Place. read more

Her place was a wonderful dining experience. It was intimate and felt like a fancy dinner party. The service was attentive. Due to previous reviews, I was nervous that there would not be enough volume for 2 people, but we were both very full by the end. The food was fresh. The food was French so quite rich and did not need to have larger portions to be satisfied. They also gave us croquette, chocolate cookie, and Chex mix as extras that were not even listed on the menu. They run a well oiled machine. There are no substitutions and you have 2 hours from start to finish to complete your meal. You are able to add in specials if you'd like as well read more

As other reviews have mentioned this place is so worth the visit. We were able to sit at a table close to the chef's counter which ended up being amazing, as we got to see the assembly of the dishes up close. I felt that every dish had been so well thought through and really appreciated how seafood forward our menu was. Our favorite dishes were the skate wing, smoked fish dip, and the add on butternut squash ravioli. I would love to return during a different season to see how the menu evolves and would recommend anyone try it out! read more

Was looking forward to dinner at Her Place Supper Club for some time now and have to say this place is overhyped. 7 courses are normally a good amount of food, but not at Her Place Supper Club. The first four courses were pretty much all served around the same time. The problem is that the portions are small, and these plates are to be shared. The croquettes, beef tongue + potato salad, beets/kumquats/cheese & seeds salad dish were okay. The smoked whitefish course was probably the best out of these 4 courses. My husband and I also ordered one of the specials for an additional $20. It was an order of 4 lightly fried oysters, served atop creamed spinach in their shells. They were pretty good, but I have to say it was too much spinach in each shell. It felt like the restaurant was trying to justify charging $20 for 4 oysters by stuffing more spinach into the oyster shells. The fifth and sixth courses were the most enjoyable. The agnolotti was skillfully prepared. The skin was just thin enough to hold the potato leek soup. For an additional $20/person, we opted for truffles with our agnolotti. The truffles managed to kick this already tasty dish up a notch. And what a delightful warm dish to serve on this chilly night. The pork cheeks were incredibly tender and cooked to perfection. I wish we could have more of it. Dessert was a pistachio crème caramel to be shared again. Before we all left, we were all given a bag of duck fat Chex mix to take with us. I have to say, I expected my belly to be stuffed after a meal like this. Not including drinks, we spent $120/person, and it was not very satisfying. The shared plates could be bigger. The portions of the fifth and sixth courses could be bigger as well. Homely food should not cost $90-$120/person. read more

Yes, the reputation is great. Yes, the cooking is very good. I was just left a bit wanting, and not even sure for what. The add-ons to the prefix menu are expensive for what you get. The service is not overly warm. It's all fine. It'll be one and done for me, though. read more

So we all know the feeling of actually getting a reservation here is like Grandpa Joe hitting the lottery in Willy Wonka...don't work for 20 years and suddenly you find the ability to dance a jig because you got invited to a chocolate factory. Wait...maybe it's not the same, but you get the picture. You'd hip-check ol' Gampa Joe to get a seat in this place. And you know why? It would be worth it. Here's the review, FFS. Flair: I absolutely love it. The theme is...whatever they want the theme to be. That's it. Unmatched plates and silverware and chairs. The hodgepodge of decor is a metaphor for the cornucopia of flavors you're about to be straight jabbed with. It's comforting, the open decor lends to a family feel, and you always get the sense that you're at the kids table at a family meal. In this case, it's the absolute best place to be. Food: are you kidding? Trying to review this place is like trying to review "Songs In The Key Of Life". Any issues are likely purely due to personal taste, because otherwise...it's simply exquisite. The red drum with marinated beans is a top-5 dish, ever, for me...in the company of a peekytoe crab and preserved oyster toast from River Twice, Vetris anything gnocchi, the third oyster on my second oyster flight from Sweet Amalia, and the entire salatim/mezze menu from Zahav. The broth from the red drum crudo was sublime, tart and sweet...really playing off the cucumber. Phenomenal. There was not a weak point on the menu. When you have people scraping eggplant puree off of a plate, you've clearly hit the big time. I would be searching to find a weak area, and both the taste variances and chef explanations really solidified how much thought went into each dish. You could literally taste the creativity...like if Dali made rock candy or something g. Service: the staff are credibly knowledgeable and friendly. It's always a great time when chefs explain a dish. Picture David Copperfield explaining how he made the Ststur of Kiberty disappear. They care so much about their craft, they don't give a flying rats ass if they tell you how the product got to your plate...they're just super happy you appreciate it. That's the mark of true greatness. Great, great, great people. If I could make a standing monthly reservation here, I would. Such a great experience with people who absolutely love what they do...and it sure as hell shows. Cant wait until I hit the lottery again and find myself able to secure reservations to this place. read more

Revisited Her Place during the holidays with some family from out of state because I couldn't stop talking about my last experience here and WOW. This place truly needs to be safe guarded and protected. It is truly a gem of a place and the magic that this all-female team puts out is just jaw dropping. We had one of the best pasta dishes we have ever tried here, the "Sunchoke + Taleggio Doppio Agnolotti". Pure butter, thin pasta, creamy center, topped with crunchy texture of the perfectly cooked sunchokes - this bite was divine. I wish I could have ordered about 5 more of these. This is what Amanda Schulman, Ana Caballero, and the team do best. They have the magic ability to pair all of these wonderful seasonal ingredients never forgetting the crucial elements of temperatures, acidity, texture. A huge high five to this team for welcoming us with open arms, hosting us, educating us, and making us feel like we are all just sitting in your kitchen about to enjoy the best meals of our lives. If you haven't had the opportunity to try Her Place, don't feel deflated. Make it a goal to snag a date because what your in for isn't just a good meal - it's an experience. read more

Reservations are released every Sunday for the next two weeks (different in 2024 than in the past) at 3pm PST (6pm EST) and the menu is different every 2 weeks. Amanda has really done something special in Philadelphia. Coming here was such a treat. It's a small restaurant so the atmosphere was very warm and cozy, but the size wasn't what made it cozy, it was the head chef. I have never been to a restaurant where the whole restaurant was silenced so that she could walk through every little detail on the menu. It was so great to hear about every pairing and ingredient and she also presented the add on options that are available for the day. Certain items come in pairs, and it's done like that on purpose so it can complement one another. The first course was an orange salad with fete de moines (funky cow milk cheese) and hazelnuts. It was delicious. If you don't know, oranges and cheese pair very very well together. The crunch of the hazelnuts also added the extra layer that elevated this appetizer. What came with this was the English muffin and a foie gras spread on top with spots of fig jam. The sweetness of the fig jam complemented the foie gras very well. It was delicious. The second pair that came out was the fried skate cheeks (fish) with a tartar sauce and a celery root slaw. This was like the fish in fish and chips. The batter was very light and crispy and the tartar sauce was also full of flavor yet not thick and overpowering. But the star of the show was the celery slaw. It paired so well with the fried fish. You get the taste of celery to know that you're eating celery, but it is soft and easy to eat and feels so refreshing when eating something fried. What came as a pair was a broiled scallop with a trumpet butter gratin. The bed of gratin that was so good. I added the beef tartare and hands down it was the best tartare I've ever had. They fermented/pickled peppers from the summer and that was on top of the tartare as a kind of sauce. It was amazing. The tartare was so flavorful and fresh and tasted like summer because of the pepper sauce. What came after was one of the main courses. It was a potato ravioli and the chef described it as a campbells soup but better and I would have to say it's definitely better. The spinach was so sweet and the tomatoes were so fresh. So yes, I guess campbells but way fresher and better ingredients. Another main was the duck breast with red wine sauce. I actually thought this dish was one of the worst ones of the night (worst of the best). What this was paired with was the star though. It was a duck leg confit salad with nuts, pickled, and shallots. It was so delicious and the ingredients worked so well together. For dessert there was a pavlova dessert with citrus sorbet on the inside. A pavlova is a meringue based dessert. And this one had this as the shell with the sorbet in the middle. I paid extra for a crepe cake and it was definitely worth it. Many delicious layers with a chocolate sauce. read more

Well worth the hype! We've tried to get reservations here many of times and finally lucked out around my birthday time. They went above and beyond with a special card, sang happy birthday, and had a cute little birthday hat. Menu changes every two weeks and we can't wait to go back in the fall.

tl;dr this self-described "supper club" achieves a balance of sophisticatedly innovative and comfortably cozy, and it is certainly one of my favorite restaurant experiences in the city In the midst of the pandemic, Amanda Shulman signed a temporary lease in Rittenhouse Square to showcase her "supper club" concept: a rotating, locally sourced menu in an intimate and personal setting. Fast-forward 2 years, and Her Place was a resounding hit: the biweekly reservation drop is a challenge that rivals Zahav, Her Place's sister restaurant My Loupe has opened just blocks away to critical acclaim, and Shulman has garnered back-to-back nominations for Best Emerging Chef from the James Beard Foundation. I've lived just around the corner of Her Place since it opened -- and I'm glad that I finally had the opportunity to give it a try. Even though Her Place is the new kid on the block, it feels infinitely timeless and effortlessly comfortable. Marble tables and mismatched wooden chairs are pressed into the tiny space, and each table has a fresh flower and a live candle. The whitewashed room has forest-green trim and plenty of artsy framed posters. The sizzle from the open kitchen mixes with the low hum of instrumental music and 2000s hits. To kick off the meal, Shulman greets the room from the open kitchen in the back, and she invites the guests to introduce themselves to each other. Then, she gives an in-depth illustration before each course and supplement. My partner and I pounced on a reservation right when they were released on Sunday evening. When we arrived, the staff immediately made us feel at home. We dove into our meal with an amuse-bouche: a crispy cheese sandwich with rhubarb jelly and foie gras mousse. The strong sweetness of rhubarb complemented by the characteristically rich liver well. Next, we received a giant beef bone, sliced in half to easily access the marrow. The herby marrow melted in my mouth, and the springy fava beans perfectly complemented it. The accompanying focaccia was drenched in brown butter and toasted until crisp. Further, the simple side salad offered some acidity to cut through the rich marrow. Next, we received grilled asparagus with ramp-based ranch dressing, which we upgraded with a fried soft-shelled crab. Everything was crisp, and the lemon nicely offset the substantial ranch. The pasta course consisted of pillowy ricotta gnocchi, enveloped in melted cheese and served in a creamy crab sauce. For our main course, we were served buttery, perfectly charred scallops with a sweet-and-salty sweet onion "cream" and crunchy lovage. Across both, the combination of flavors and textures was masterful, and each bite was as mouthwatering as the last. Our meal concluded with an almond shoehorn pastry, schmeared with strawberry whipped cream and lemon curd. It was light and flaky, with occasional crispy sugar crystals mixed throughout. My partner and I were floored by the meal, and we would have been happy if it ended there -- but Shulman herself visited each table to drop off take-home baggies of duck fat "Chex Mix". Dinner for 2 ran just over $200 (after tax, tip, and our crab supplement), and we agreed that it was worth every penny. As my final supper before moving permanently to Los Angeles, Her Place was an outstanding occasion to celebrate my near-decade in Philly. If I were to list the best fine "special occasion" restaurants in Philly, Her Place would no doubt rank among the top -- go ASAP before Shulman moves on to bigger and better things. read more

Her Place - Bone Marrow - French Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Before my brother in-law and sister in-law left Philly to return to the West Coast, their final dining request was Her Place. So my husband and I stalked reservations right at 6PM when they opened on a Sunday night, and we were able to snag some before they left town! Only the 8:30PM time slot was available which was not ideal for a diner given a medication limitation. I emailed Her Place, and within 24 hours, our reservation was moved to 6PM to better accommodate. I was blown away by how easy and accommodating the staff was! We arrived a few mins before 6PM, and as mentioned in the reservations, the doors open promptly at 6, so we waited outside for a bit. Once we got inside, we were instructed to select a table for our party of 4 - we picked a nice 4 top close-ish to the window but also with an adequate view of the kitchen. The vibe inside the restaurant is very much dinner-party-esque. The art work and dining sets are eclectic, and the intimate dining room with an open kitchen truly makes you feel as if you're in someone's home. Having a pre-fixe menu was ideal, although I did appreciate the ability to add on a variety of menu items as you saw fit. The wine list was extensive enough, including both bottles and glasses, although the cocktail list was fairly small (limited to 3 options). I started with a glass of wine, while the rest of our party got cocktails - all were solid! We split a bottle of wine during our dinner, selecting a natural orange wine. Loved the variety to choose from! The menu changes often based on what's in season (and what Amanda wants to cook, which I love), so we got some nice spring pieces for our meal. Prior to serving the dish, a staff member rings a bell to give you the run down on the dish, including where the ingredients came from and how it was prepared. This was such a wonderful and thoughtful touch - you can tell that the staff truly loves what they do and are passionate about the food they make. As the restaurant is reminiscent of a dinner party, the whole room is served each individual course at the same time, which is a unique feature that adds to the ambience. Each dish was impeccable in its concept and execution, and the flavors were incredible. The standouts from our meal were the fried skate cheeks with white asparagus, the mussel toast, and the taleggio francobolli with bone marrow and peas - but not a single dish wasn't divine! My husband and I expected to be comfortably full from the anticipated course (we predicted correctly), so we didn't add anything on, but my sister in-law opted for the charcuterie board addition, which she really enjoyed. We never felt rushed throughout our meal, but I was also impressed that they kept to schedule and had us out of there by around 8PM so they could prep for the next group. Her Place was a special and unique dining experience, and I am so grateful we enjoyed a meal there before our family departed the city. I am also thankful at how flexible they were with reservation adjustments - it makes a huge impact on hospitality. While Her Place is certainly not cheap, the overall "dinner club" experience and the fresh, innovative, and quirky plates in a classic yet eclectic Philly row home make it a meal to keep on your Philadelphia food scene bucket list. Thank you for this wonderful last hurrah with our brother- and sister-in-law, Her Place! read more

Hands down one of the best experiences and meals we have had since moving to Philly! We had a family member visiting and thought it would be a perfect time to share this experience together. We were treated by a visiting chef for His Place Thai Edition and from start to finish it was incredible. We started with amuse-bouche of cantaloupe with a meatball and greens. Followed up with a noodle dish, a ceviche style dish, a cold clam dish with a chimichurri. For the entrees, a green curry and fried lump crab dish was served. The fried crab was incredible so we had to ask for another one! Before every dish, the chef described the inspiration behind it and it was honestly so educational! Finished off with a Thai inspired flan dish and some of her places famous chocolate chip cookies! Also want to give a big shout out to the som for an INCREDIBLE wine recommendation! We can't wait to come back when the chef is back to have a different experience! read more

This is my second time dining at Her Place and it did not disappoint! From both of my experiences, all the food has absolutely blown me away. They can take any dish and make it incredibly flavorful. My last visit we tried bone marrow and foie gras, things I could have never seen myself enjoying. This time exceeded my expectations. They served an amazing array of foods, some of my favorite included the add on halibut dish and the corn ravioli. Their food is mainly French based but I promise it does not disappoint. The ambience is terrific, before each set of dishes the chefs explain the meals. Each meal is primarily obtained from local sources and mentioned in the explanations. Their service is phenomenal and the timing of each plate is well paced. Would absolutely bring anyone here and know they would have an amazing dining experience! read more

I snagged a reservation here while I was aimlessly refreshing their Tock site during my lunch hour. I didn't realize it until we arrived, but we had the 2 seats at the chefs counter. If you're interested in chatting with the chefs and watching the cooking in action, I recommend trying for chefs counter! Her Place is worth the hype and deserves every award and accolade they receive. The space is small, intimate, and beautifully decorated. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. We enjoyed that the Chef described each dish to the diners. The food was fantastic! The mushrooms they cook up are magical. They release the menu for 2 weeks alongside reservations. Go in open-minded and enjoy the curated experience! We loved that they sent us home with duck fat Chex mix! read more

I enjoyed dining at Her Place, I definitely felt like I was having a meal in someone's home. The restaurant is tiny and every table has a view of the kitchen. I dined by myself so I was placed at one of the two window seats. My back was toward the kitchen and I had to turn around each time the chef was describing the dishes. The menu wasn't something I would have normally chosen for myself, it was very seafood focused but it was all around tasty. The main dish was a quail and morels. My favorites of the night were the chicken liver pate with radishes and homemade Ritz cracker. They really did taste like a Ritz but much elevated. My other favorite of the night was the dessert: the rhubarb, cream cheese semi freddo, and meringue was to absolutely die for. You could really taste the cream cheese. Also notable was the sauce Americaine in the quenelle/lobster dish, I wanted to scoop it up and lick the plate. I see people complaining how it wasn't enough food since you had to share, I didn't have this problem, as I was solo and was able to eat full plates of everything. I enjoyed the final touches at the end, giving out cookies and a bag of Chex Mix. Bravo. I'd maybe come back if I were to travel to Philadelphia again. $120 after tax and tip. read more

Good luck getting a reservation but it is worth the wait. While the menu is set and there may be a dish you don'tlike (we had sweetbreads with a gin based sauce and I hate gin), overall you will have a good time. There is limited seating in a small space so conversation may be difficult. The service and presentation is impeccable. But don't get yours hope up for the cookies at the end. They are the size of a quarter. read more
