So maybe I've never stepped foot into Olivier Cafe, but I've Doordashed it more times than I'd like to admit. Everytime I get it, it's perfect. Their pesto lunch sandwich is incredible and HUGE, but their breakfast sandwiches are top tier. I've had most of them at this point and they are all so great. Their coffees are so tasty and reasonably priced. They even have a few lemondes and fun drinks, which to no surprise, are also awesome. I can go on and on, the sweet treats are killer too. Always a great breakfast/lunch spot. read more

Came here after seeing the picture of the custom veggie sandwich. Have been dreaming of it! I had to get help to figure out how to order it. Basically egg and cheese and piled on the veggies. The price quickly added up but worth ever penny! The veggies were fresh. The bread fresh and tossed perfectly. I will dream of this breakfast sandwich. Also got the Popeye smoothie. It was excellent! Everything I ordered was excellent. If I lived nearby I would eat here frequently. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place never was crowded but you could see people coming in and out picking up orders.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend!!! read more

I stumbled upon this spot while on a walk looking for a quick coffee, and now I look forward to my walks just to have it! At first, I tried to keep this gem to myself, but it's too good not to share. On my first visit, I ordered the hamwich, a hash brown, and a smoothie. While the smoothie wasn't my favorite, the hamwich was so incredible that I had to come back and take one home. The ham was thick and juicy, and the cheese was perfectly gooey. But the real star for me is the horchata latte--I couldn't stop raving about it to my friends! It's such a unique and delicious menu item. I also tried the breakfast platter, which was super convenient for my healthy eating goals, and the ingredients tasted so fresh. If you go, make sure you get the hamwich and the horchata latte. You won't regret it! read more

My husband and I stopped in here for a quick bite in the morning after a concert, and the food was absolutely delicious. We were staying at Society Hill Hotel, which is directly next door (we knew it was close but didn't realize how close it was!), and dined in. It was a pretty busy Saturday, so people were in and out constantly, but the service was quick. I got the breakfast burrito with bacon (which I frequently get as a "safe option" when I go out to new breakfast places) and it was one of the best i've ever had- the aioli was top tier. My husband got the avocado/egg toast + side salad and he also said it was fantastic. Nothing was too greasy or heavy, and it was all seasoned well. The latte I got was good, and he enjoyed his lemonade. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only downside is that there isn't a ton of seating (still more than you'd except since it's such a small place), so if it's busy you might need to do carry-out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely a good spot for a quick bite! read more

My go to for lunch is a turkey club and I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur (if there even is such a thing). Olivier has a turkey blt which has all the same ingredients but is a layer short of a club. It may be lacking a slice a bread but it completely makes up in flavor of the ingredients. Very fresh, the sourdough is toasted just right and the bacon is a perfect crisp. I will definitely be back for this sandwich and look forward to trying other menus items too! read more

I determined that the darts were magnets-but Jeez trying to enjoy your beverage in a confined space, so to speak, at the same time as trying to ignore screaming kids that may accidentally throw a dart in your drink is too disconcerting to put up with. if people don't have any manners or common sense someone has to make some rules. take down the dart board! music is loud. not a place to go if you require peace and quiet.

Bought lunch here looking for a place to use the restroom before heading into a meeting. The employee said they didn't have a restroom, then said their toilet didn't flush. Of course you order through a screen and provide a tip before any service is provided. Typical in 2024 these days. Regretfully tipped graciously to be denied a restroom. Chicken panini with lettuce, tomato, honey mustard and bacon was good. Put up a sign that says paying patrons are denied use to facilities. Or maybe just be truthful and say, "i apologize it's our policy that customers can't use the restroom." I wonder what other hygiene concerns their kitchen has if they don't have working restrooms. read more

I started with a cocktail and really enjoyed it. It was fruity, well-balanced, and had just the right amount of alcohol without being overpowering. Based on recommendations, I ordered the burger. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. It could have been cooked better, and overall I wasn't particularly impressed with it. What stood out most was the service. My server was attentive, friendly, and checked in regularly without being intrusive. Overall, The Dandelion offers a pleasant atmosphere, excellent service, and great cocktails. While the burger wasn't a standout for me, I'd be willing to return and try other menu items.

We started yesterday off with a delightful brunch at Sabrina's Cafe. We were thrilled to arrive and…read morebe seated quickly, even as a party of four. Our server Rachel was lovely and gave us a rundown of their specials and the menu's top hits. Our drink selections ranged from as boring as a Diet Coke to as fun as a seasonal lemonade. We were all content with our choices, though we puttered around making suggestions from their large drink menu. I typically go for a savory breakfast, but the stuffed brioche French toast was speaking to me. I can never turn down banana! The rest of our table ordered avocado toast (x2) and fried eggs with bacon. Everyone was really happy with their choices and an added bonus was that our food came out quickly. I insisted everyone at our table try a bite of my massive stuffed brioche French toast and the consensus was that it was ridiculously good. Though this spot is tiny, it is not to be missed.

Luckily, we found street parking right next to the restaurant, which was a nice surprise. When we arrived, the wait for a table of three was about 45 minutes. That's somewhat expected for a popular brunch spot on a weekend. Once seated, the service was prompt. Our waiter stopped by quickly with waters and took good care of us throughout the meal. I ordered the House Angus Burger with sweet potato fries. It was solid, flavorful, and definitely filling. My friend got the Bella Vista Omelet with home fries, and we both agreed that while the food was good, it felt like standard brunch fare rather than anything particularly memorable. Based on the long wait and the hype surrounding Sabrina's, I think we were expecting the food to really stand out. In my opinion, the dishes we tried were comparable to what you'd find at a quality chain brunch spot like First Watch. That's not necessarily a bad thing, the food was satisfying, but it didn't quite justify the lengthy wait. That said, the menu has plenty of more unique and creative options that we didn't try. I'd be open to coming back and ordering one of those specialty dishes next time. Overall, I left satisfied with the meal and service.

Selections: Oysters- very good, fresh and solid accompaniments. Steak tartare - good, fresh but lacked seasoning. Omelette - subpar - expected more of a french style and it also lacked seasoning. They forgot to add the creme fraiche. The caviar was good. French Toast w/fois gras - average - fois gras very under-seasoned and lacked a good sear. French toast was good.

Mushroom shrimp risotto, grilled octopus, and black truffle and fontina pizza - amazing!

He is kind and easygoing, but he also has a discerning eye for hospitality, which made me especially glad to bring him somewhere that makes Philadelphia shine and makes me proud to live here. I ordered the moules frites, and it was excellent. The mussels were fresh, tender, and beautifully served in a delicious white wine, garlic, and shallot broth. Paired with Parc's wonderful bread and a side of French fries, it was simple, satisfying, and exactly the kind of meal Parc does so well. If you're going to Parc on a budget or want something a little lighter than a burger or steak frites, this is a terrific option. It still feels generous and special without being too heavy, and the service and ambiance were outstanding, as always.

Main dining area. Beautiful holiday decorations, unique warm lighting- great ambiance with good energy!

The whole reason was the garden patio and oh my god, yes, absolutely worth it. We picked the right table too, right in the middle of everything. We ordered cocktails, got a bunch of things to share, and just kind of settled in. The scallop and shrimp risotto? My favorite thing we ordered. It sounds like it's going to be super rich and heavy but the pickled vegetables on top balance it out perfectly and I cleared my plate. We also got the biscuits to start and the salted honey butter that comes with them is actually dangerous because you will not stop eating it. We debated ordering another round. The cucumber salad I honestly almost said no to, but it ended up being so refreshing and it went with everything else really well. Glad someone talked me into it.

I had imagined whole edamame beans, but they were mashed inside, which was definitely a surprise. Also had the wasabi mashed potatoes, which had a very unique flavor that I hadn't had before. Overall my dining experience went very well. I accidentally dropped one of my chopsticks, and a gentleman picked it up immediately and got me a new one.

Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House

Lazy Sunday after an unsuccessful Memorial Day beach weekend. It was cold and rainy all weekend but…read morewe decided to hit up some beef noodle soup place to warm up. On this cold almost summer day, Nan Zhou was hustling and bustling. Separate parties at the same round table and clients coming in and out of the restaurant facade. Warm lighting and active banter. I received my bowl of beef noodle soup was pretty satisfied. Beef was tender with flavorful bites of fattiness. Somehow, the meat tastes beefier than beef. The cilantro had potent herbaceous flavor with some spinach(?) and mustard greens. Noodles were pleasantly chewy w variation in texture. Lowkey, everything else was alright. I like to be nice so I'll say no more. Cucumbers were fine

We came here around 1pm on a Sunday and ordered the mapo tofu with noodles, the house special…read morenoodle soup, and a shrimp stir fry. This place was packed, which is always a good sign, and even with that the staff stayed super prompt and professional. The house special was my favorite. I got it with the knife-cut noodles and it was perfect with the broth. The noodles had that slightly uneven, chewy texture that really holds onto the soup. I never thought I'd be the type to talk about "mouthfeel" but here we are. The broth itself was rich and savory with a deep beef flavor, a little bit of oil on top that adds body without feeling too heavy. It's that classic, comforting Chinese beef noodle soup done really well. I added a braised egg, which had great flavor soaked into it, though it was served cold, which threw me off a bit. The mapo tofu with noodles was also really solid. It had that signature spicy, numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns, balanced with a savory, slightly salty sauce. The tofu was soft and silky, and mixing it with the noodles made it extra satisfying. It's got some heat but not overwhelming, just enough to keep you going back for another bite. The shrimp stir fry was lighter but still flavorful. The shrimp were cooked well, tender with a slight snap, and the sauce leaned more on the savory side with a mild sweetness. It felt like a nice balance alongside the heavier noodle dishes. Couple practical things: it's cash only, but there's an ATM right by the seating area which makes it easy. And the portions are generous for the price, so it feels like a really good deal. Overall, super satisfying spot. Busy, a little chaotic, but the food absolutely delivers. Definitely a go-to if you're craving hand-pulled noodles.
