    Food was good. Just had a few small plates that we shared. Vibes seemed good but our bartender (we sat at the bar) wasn't very attentive. We all would have had a second or third round but he just never came back over again. Will try again, but maybe not at the bar next time.

    A friend and I had plans to see a show in Old City the other night and we found this place during our search to find dinner in the area. The experience was decidedly mixed, though I would definitely give it another shot. Atmosphere 5/5 First off, the space is beautiful. There are two floors, with a dining area downstairs, and a bar and a very large space for more dining upstairs. You can tell that this upstairs area is open-air during the warmer months, and would seem like an even better atmosphere to dine in. Aside from being spacious, the space is nicely decorated and comfortable. Food 4/5 Upon first glance, the menu has a wide variety of tempting options, from handhelds to steak, chicken, and shortrib, to all sorts of wood-fired pizzas, which the waiter told us was their specialty. My dining partner and I opted to share the Whipped Ricotta with flatbread and honey for an appetizer. Delish! For the main course, we both ordered the gnocchi with roasted eggplant, scallions, and parmesan. We were told that the gnocchi is house-made, which helped in our decision. In the end, the dish was tasty, but a bit too doughy. Service 3/5 The service at Revolution House is the reason for the overall rating of 3. Unfortunately, we waited a long time for everything, from our drinks to the food and even the check. It wasn't until the very end that the waiter explained that they were shorthanded, but by that time, we were a little frustrated to say the least As I alluded to earlier, the menu and the atmosphere was enough for me to be willing to try Revolution House again and hopefully next time the experience will be better.

    Was visiting a friend in the neighborhood and just wanted a drink outside. The host was very unclear about the fact that there were no tables available outside. So, when we went upstairs, the servers outside were very upset and told us we must go back to the host. Oh, well. We ended up sitting by the bar upstairs and enjoying a cocktail. The blackberry grove was delicious, I just wish the staff was more clear about seating, as we probably would've went somewhere else.

    All I can say is...they had me at the breakfast nachos!! Absolutely amazing food. Historic vibe inside.

    Super cute casual dining spot with really great service. Coordinated a work social for a group of 7 on a Friday evening, Revolution House accommodated our party so well. Shoutouts to Gabriella, our excellent server. The cocktails were delicious, food was great (specifically those brussels), and the ambiance of the updaters room, decked out for the holidays in lights, SO cute!

    So far this place is amazing! The service was fantastic! The waitress was so professional! The Brussel sprouts WERE DEVINE! The garlic honey oil was a great touch. The calamari was a bit over cooked. The chicken buffalo dip was delicious. Comes with bread or chips. The garlic shrimp was very delicious and the shrimp was perfectly cooked! The chicken parm was also amazing! Overall, this place was 9/10!

The inside is really modern and aesthetic, while still giving off a cozy cafe feel. Service was nothing crazy, but nothing bad either. The Yemenite Latte was a 4/10 for me. The flavor was spot on and tasted like milk with Yemeni spices and just a hint of espresso. I really wish the espresso came through more because I think that would've made it perfect. The Pistachio Sticky Bun was an 8/10 and definitely worth the hype. It was served warm and had the soft, pillowy texture of a cinnamon roll, but with a syrupy pistachio flavor. It practically melts in your mouth. The Grilled Cheese Jerusalem Bagel was basically a grilled cheese, but I loved the thin, slightly crisp shell and all the sesame seeds on the bagel. The cheese had almost a pimento cheese flavor, which I really liked. 9/10.

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.

I made a reservation online on OpenTable. We arrived earlier than our reservation slot so we were able to walk around and take pics.

There's a grand staircase that walks down into an even bigger and more open area. Up first, was a $9 hot chocolate and a $23 Bluecoat (Dirty Martini with blue cheese olives). The martini was perfect, exactly how I like it with tiny slivers of ice shards. Second, I had a $30 Gold Espresso Martini with vodka. It was also perfect. Probably the prettiest espresso martini I've ever been served. The leaf design in your drink is pretty sweet. Tons of dates here, anniversaries, vacationers, and people super dressed up. Most certainly look your best if you decide to come. Next time I'm in Philly, I'll certainly be back!

The drink was refreshing and tart, but I'm not sure I would order it again because I found myself wanting it to be a tad sweeter. The tomato tart was great! It's definitely tomato-dominant, which I know sounds obvious, but I was worried there would be too much cheese. The crust is flaky, and it was overall balanced.
