In comes Jordan. A nice man who took care of us from start to end, our drinks were always filled, and the food was so good. I had the Charleston Shrimp&Grits, which csme with really big shrimp in a creamy tomato based sauce, with just a hint of spice...to die for! I drank a delicious white wine, the neighborhood was vibrant, filled with people on a Saturday night. Jordan gave us somw recommendations for around town, also bought me a drink as it was ny bday weekend. I have zero complaints, except that I wished I lived closer. Bravo!

I came here for a bachelor party dinner and it was a great experience overall.

He made sure to come back and check if we wanted to order another drink periodically and removed empty plates and cups. I decided to order off of their specials menu and got the Lobster Roll, which IMO could have been better. Their Espresso Martinis were really good, so I got probably 3-4 orders of these. Looking back, I wished I ordered from their regular menu as the other guests in my party enjoyed their meals. Oh well, I guess there's always a next time when I'm back in town.

The food options were good, the service was as expected, and location is superb (except for the parking). For a weeknight it was crowded so reservations are recommend!

The four of us found the Dutch on Yelp, and headed there from our hotel in Philly. It reminded my wife and I of some of the neighborhood spots. We enjoyed so much in our own town of Baltimore. The waitress, JENN, was fantastic. I think she had every table, but every employee were doing their part. The chef must handpick the ingredients, because everything was fresh and delicious. My wife and I each had a special pressed fruit drink to start, and it was a perfect appetizer if you will. Very refreshing and energizing. The food was amazing. I had the mushroom omelette. The mushrooms were very fresh and not overcooked. The omelette was thick, but not foamy. All of the ingredients were handled with care on the inside. The taste of truffles was a nice addition. My wife had the salmon omelette, and it was out of this world. Possibly the best omelette I've ever tasted. She agreed. Delicate, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. One of our boys had a huge waffle covered in fresh berries, and just the right amount of whipped cream. He said it was the best waffle he ever had, and I have to agree. Light and fluffy and sweet, he didn't even add syrup. Perfect. Our other son had the double cheeseburger. Again, cooked perfectly, and the avocado was very fresh and an excellent addition. When we are in Philly again, this will be our breakfast spot. An absolute pleasure dining here. I highly recommend.

Each meal was perfection...I grew up in an Italian family & my standards are pretty high... Not here...each meal was carefully designed for your eyes as well as your tastebuds. The only negative was my fault.....I didn't ask if it was BYOB :so it could have been upsetting but as my husband said "we are enjoying every bite & can taste the food so much better". That doesn't mean I won't bring my bottle of Multipulchiana next time!!!!!! See you soon Flori!!!!!!

I decided I wanted a treat tonight and have heard nothing but good things from neighbors about Il…read moreGusto. This was my last day of work before retirement which is a little different as a remote worker; a lovely send off meeting, but no cake. I couldn't decide between the papardelle bolognese or the gnocchi, so I asked if a gnocchi bolognese is something they can do. The gentleman who took my order was happy to accomodate but hesitatingly mentioned that the gnocchi might be better without changing the sauce. I decided to go all out... gnocchi with a gorgonzola sauce could go nicely with papardelle bolognese. A good sign that it's authentic Italian; the pairing of the sauce and pasta is very intentional. Oh my, oh my. The gnocchi is the tenderest I've ever had and I've been to Italy a few times and I'm from NYC. The gorgonzola has great flavor without being overpowering for the delicate gnocchi and the papardelle bolognese is exceptional. I had mentioned that I was celebrating and the gentleman who handled my order (I think he must be an owner) had put in a slice of cake that I think is a lovely pistachio tiramisu. I got my retirement cake after all. Thank you Il Gusto for such a perfect dinner!

Oh Suraya. You will see me again! Came here for brunch and had such a great meal. I ordered the…read moreSamke Harra (branzino fillet) and Halabi Kabab (lamb kababs) from the Taste of Suraya menu. Both were really good, and the portions are generous enough that I actually had food left over to take home. After you place your order, you get a spread of hummous, baba ganoush, labneh, muhammara and taboule. All five were delicious. My personal favorites were the baba ganoush and muhammara. One thing to know is that the amount of spreads you get is based on your party size, and they don't keep bringing out more once you finish them, like they do at LaserWolf. If you're a carb lover like myself, go easy on the homemade pita (so good!) and order a side of the za'atar manoushe. And the Lebanese chai latte? Perfection! I'd come back just for that. If you've been to LaserWolf, Suraya has a similar flavor profile and some similar spreads, although you get five spreads here. The biggest difference is the way the food is served. Unlike Zahav or LaserWolf, where dishes are constantly coming out to the table, Suraya is more about fewer dishes with larger portions. Personally, I really enjoyed that style because it felt like a satisfying, full meal. Service was efficient and attentive. A couple of tips: make reservations because this place can definitely get busy. Also, parking can be a pain, so plan ahead. Take the closest parking spot you can realistically handle walking from because trying to find something within a block or two of the restaurant can be difficult. Overall, really good food, generous portions, great flavors, and definitely worth coming back to.

Baba ganoush- fantastic. It was so thick and creamy that you wouldn't expect it to be made from…read moreeggplant. It was almost the texture of hummus. Flavor wise, it was smokey and the pomegranate added a nice pop of acidity and freshness. The olive oil drizzled on top was also very good. The pita was fresh and warm and had pieces that were a little more charred which was great. Cauliflower sandwich- it is more of a wrap vs traditional sandwich. I liked how thin the wrap was. The cauliflower was very seasoned and cumin-y. I wish there was more pickled cabbage. The fries were thicker but it wasn't dry inside. They were also doused in zaatar seasoning and fantastic. Would get just the fries as a side or the whole thing again! Lahm bi-ajeen man'oushe- like a very flat, crispy pita with meat and tomato and pickles on top. It was good, nothing super outstanding on this one. Shakshuka- tomatoy, lamby, and jammy eggs. Cant go wrong with this. I thought it was maybe a touch salty but it went well with the pita to scoop Ngl service was a little strange in my opinion. One person arrived before the rest of us and they kept asking her to order first. They would come at random times with questions or random pauses when talking. Nothing super warm or welcoming or notable service wise

Went Monday night for Winewark. I guess Southwark is/was closed on Mondays and someone came up…read morewith this great idea to have light bites and wine takeover the restaurant. It was very popular, barely any space at the bar and certainly a lot of return customers. I don't drink wine so most of this is lost on me but clearly there were many people enjoying the handpicked offerings. I was only there because my friend enjoys wine and she suggested I try their burger. At 27$ I had high expectations for the burger but was truly disappointed. 2 small patties cooked well, it's advertised as having charred onion and bacon, neither of which were on my burger, just 2 pieces of lettuce. The blue cheese was melted so I couldn't see it, but I could taste it. I should have requested another type of cheese which may have helped, but this is not something I would order again. It was dry and salty and served with a white sauce on the side which I could not identify but didn't like after dipping a fry in there. The French fries were fantastic and there were plenty of them, the highlight of my meal. So why 4 stars? It's not the full restaurant menu so it wouldn't be fair to judge them based on the Monday offerings, the staff was really kind, and the bar was loaded with a lot of nice people having a good time. Plus my friends pork ragu was good, I had a bite of that and found it quite tasty. Not my scene but if you like wine I'd definitely check it out.

Yelp reviews were great and while my assessment was less than five stars, I'd happily return. Rather than our usual shared salad, T and I split an order of grilled artichokes. Shrimp-- I only saw one or two measly ones -- parmesan, olive oil, lemon, tomato and arugula. Good, though not as 'amazing' as I was led to believe. My husband was thrilled with his farfalle deliza, compared favorably to one of my all-time-favorite Italian restaurants in Florida. If the chicken on my francese wasn't dry, it would've been a five star plate. The sauce was excellent, and I loved the garlic-sauteed spinach I asked for instead of pasta. They brought the whole branzino to the table for my friend to approve, before fileting it in the kitchen. She loved it. 4.5 stars. And her husband chose chicken and broccoli, also asking for spinach instead of spaghetti. Another 4.5 star rating. Radicchio Cafe used to be BYOB. No longer. But I was delighted with our $25 bottle of Montepulciano. $25!!!! That's a deal in a nice restaurant. Service was friendly and attentive. Street parking readily available. And when it warms up, outside seating is an option.
