Very warm and welcoming as you walk into the restaurant with a nice long bar full of neighborhood folks. The restaurant is typical of a neighborhood restaurant with nice wooden tables and chairs with a very friendly accommodative staff. Food: For Appetizers. The meatballs are served with a creamy ricotta on top it's superb. The calamari was excellent. I did a half wedge salad that fed three of us it was huge and delicious. Then taleggio crostini with a sun-dried tomato fig spread on top WOW a must try and lastly the Roman flat bread with short rib,fig,caramelized onion and Gorgonzola cheese. MOUTH WATERING. Main course we had the fettuccine lamb ragu very flavorful. Pappardelle braised short rib very good sauce and flavorful. This is where things got crazy, we got the Amatriciana it came with sausage and conchilege pasta a NO NO, it is made with guanciale over bucatini however it was ok.

I wouldn't say anything is particularly special, but nothing we've tried is terribly disappointing either. The menu titles towards guilty pleasure-type food, like Shrimp & Grits or Chicken & Waffles. Plates are large and busy and crowd-pleasing. If you order a salad here, make sure to ask that it be lightly dressed. The ambience and service are both good but diminished because you must shout to be heard by the person next to you.

Cute addition to Chloe's!…read more I'm not sure if this place is open year-round or just in the good weather months, but it seems to be chill no matter when I visit. They often have live music and the bar can serve up a variety of drink specials. While I wouldn't say seating is very limited, I've been around enough to see most if not all the tables filled. You can grab food (or dessert) from Chloe's and enjoy in this laid back area just above the toe path. Of course, you can just come to grab a drink from the shack. Either way, certainly worth a visit, especially on those nice summer days.

Service was attentive although, to be fair, there were only 4 people dining in. The food was absolutely fantastic. The cold sesame noodles did not have the gloppy sauce one finds in most places.

Finally we had the General Tsao's Tofu that remarkably remained crispy despite the sauce.

While these transient wretches microwave their Sad Cuisine in their Marriot holding cells, Lark's seventh floor aerie curates a dining experience well worth the exorbitant price tag. The service here is outrageously on-point while the appetizer, pasta and main courses are both inventive and delicious. I love duck and their duck in a currant infused sauce was the best I've ever had... anywhere. Given the tiny portions there's no risk of leaving here "stuffed" but you will leave amazed and satisfied that you have experienced something truly special. As a bonafide hater of foodie hype in any form, I have no choice but to give Lark a resounding five stars. PS... Bala Cynwyd, PA must have more cemeteries (including a sprawling Pet cemetery) per capita than any place on the planet. More poor souls that will never experience Lark.

The staff is a standout in their friendliness and professionalism, from the folks minding the entrance to the bar staff and the runners.

I'm not much of a fan of frozen cocktails but they seem to have a creative selection to cool you down on a hot day. They have a good draft beer list and plenty of non-alcoholic options as well. I'd say the food menu is rather limited and it's definitely "bar food" but fish & chips and burgers tasted great. They are a good value and the drinks won't break the bank either.

There are 3 floors with three separate gorgeous eating areas and 3 full service bars. I loved the decorative tequila bottles and the aesthetic of each floor. Definitely worth taking time to explore. We stopped by before catching an amazing show at Fallser Club. We were pleasantly surprised to receive an extra 10% discount on our food by showing our tickets. We had cocktails and got our food to go to eat at the venue. You won't find food pictures from me in this review because due some dietary restrictions my food wasn't packaged as it usually is served. For the next show we will be going early and eating onsite to fully enjoy all Cresta has to offer. We will also make sure to sit on the 3rd floor rooftop level to enjoy the view where the very large windows are opened to enjoy the fresh air when Mother Nature cooperates. Back to to the food and drink. The cocktails are unique, gorgeous and delicious. Each one crafted with garnishes like fresh orange peel and pineapple leaves. Cocktails can be ordered with sugar, salt, or tajan on the rims. I highly recommend the apple cider margarita and the La Kartina hibiscus cocktail. The photos don't even do them justice. I ordered the plantains, deconstructed veggie tacos and a side of Al pastor chicken. I also had a side of the guacamole. The guacamole was so fresh and flavorful and I loved the cheese added to the top. The chicken was flavorful, well seasoned and very colorful. The plantains were the perfect level of sweetness. Now, about that the art! I loved the decor and art. The art around the restaurant and the tshirts employees wore were designed by a bartender who I didn't get to meet. The murals were so colorful and detailed. One was more beautiful than the next. I found a very cool selfie mirror on the 2nd floor that I loved! The artist's insta handle was on the wall as well and is included in my photos. From an accessibility standpoint, the second and third floors can only be reached by stairs and may not be suitable for those with mobility issues. Thank you Cresta for accommodating our large party for cocktails and takeout. I can't wait to come back for the full experience!

Arriving shortly after the restaurant opened, we were seated quickly and given the choice of indoor or outdoor seating. While the inside is dark, moody and well designed with an open kitchen, we decided to dine outside to get as close to the band as possible. We were greeted by a lovely dining area that has both covered seating and tables with umbrellas, all of which overlook the Schuylkill. The waitress came by quickly and took our food and drink orders but then went MIA for the rest of the time we were there. All of the service we received, including the busser, was brutally slow and nearly non-existent. With a view inside the restaurant, it seemed like there were a lot of employees but not a lot of productivity. Now onto the food... (which also took quite a bit of time to get to us despite the restaurant being pretty empty.) Breakfast Pizza ($18): Pickled peppers, crumbled sausage, mozzarella and fried egg on a neopolitan style crust. This was really good, and while it wouldn't pass the "flop test" the crust was well charged, dough was flavorful and the egg was perfectly fried with runny yolks. 4 out of 5 stars. Classic Pancakes ($12): Butter, powdered sugar and whipped cream. These were a big let down and tasted like a boxed mix. The consistency was on the chewier side, the flavor was flat and the syrup definitely didn't taste like real maple syrup. Also, they skipped the whipped cream. 2 out of 5 stars. Eggs "Your Way" ($8): I opted for scrambled and while they came in a cute little cast iron container, for $8 I was greeted with 2 over scrambled, under-seasoned eggs..The two small slices of oiled toast that came with it were appreciated but also lackluster and could've benefitted from a brush vs drizzle of oil and sprinkling of flaky salt. 1 out of 5 stars. Holy Smokes Cocktail ($14): A blend of mezcal, coffee liqueur and Campari. This was good but lacking a bit on the coffee flavor. 3 out of 5 stars. We waited a good 25 minutes after we finished eating for our waitress to finally come back to the table to check in on us and bring us our check, but luckily we had the jazz band to listen to. All in all, In Riva may have the river views, but it does not quite rival the (muchhh) better brunch spots in the city. Nor does the live jazz make a strong enough case to skip the extra drive into Center City, S. Philly or the beloved Fishtown for better food and far superior service. While the jazz and pizza were good, I won't likely be returning anytime soon.
