    Chicken Sandwhich
    Lucy L.

    I went for a happy hour alone and had a peaceful time. I have found that being by myself, I sometimes get rushed out or neglected but here I felt neither was the case. Bar tenders were polite and swift. I had a nice glass of red wine I forget what it was. It was very decent. The chicken sandwich was delicious, crispy and not dry. The Mac and cheese was quite good was well. The bar was nice and vibey and overall I will definitely be back.

    Vibes: relaxed but elevated; bring a friend or a few to sit at the bar or mixed seating Tasting notes: - Beet salad: good size chunks of sweet, earthy beets; more so shareable between two people - Parker rolls: buttery and classic; enjoyed the chunky onion butter - Onion crepes: French onion soup in crepe form complete with the crispy melted cheese over super sweet caramelized onions - Filet: charred on the outside made for slight toughness but interior was cooked medium rare as ordered; accompanying mustard sauce cut through the butteriness of the meat; appreciated the refreshing greens - Creamed corn: kernels were plump and sweet; sauce was cheesy and rich - Fries: on the thinner side and perfectly crisp, served piping hot Other thoughts: - Service was friendly, though a bit slow. We got our appetizers before drinks even though the drinks were ordered before food - Three appetizers and two sides were enough along with an entree each for a group of five moderately hungry adults Impression: food was solid, but no particular highlights

    Time for an update. I need to comment on how good this happy hour is. This Friday I made my way here and met my bestie and my middle daughter here at 4pm. The bar was already filled up, but we managed to snag seats (it gets crowded for a reason). . Kat, the bartender made our experience so very good! She started off by recommending the onion crepes, and honestly this is the best thing I've eaten in a while. It was like eating French onion soup but gooey-er wrapped in a crepe. Delicious! I always get the burger and their fries are some of the best around. The bar (as I said) was crowded, but Kat was attentive and lovely and made us delicious cocktails! She is a star here. And this place is a good place to be on a Friday night!

    Onion crepes

    First time at The Lesieur, and we went for happy hour. We had a really good time! The inside is dimly light and cozy (I feel like there was a variety of seating options), the servers were super nice, and the happy hour drinks and small plates were delicious. We each got a raspberry daiquiri, which came with a foam on top and was sweet; it's good if you're like me and would prefer to taste less of the alcohol. Between two people, we shared an onion crepe, Mac and cheese, and fries. All three things were well seasoned and decent sizes - we were finished and were happily full. Although we didn't try anything off their dinner menu, I definitely think the happy hour is worth it.

    Mini Beef Wellington- prosciutto, mushroom, smoked mustard

    Based on Tik Tok, the menu and pictures, I wanted to love this place! We ordered the following (all recommended by the waiter as well): 1. Mini Beef Wellington- prosciutto, mushroom, smoked mustard; 2. Onion Crêpes- gruyère, chives, red wine jus; 3. Wagyu Shortrib Bourginon- red wine, pearl onion, carrot; 4. The Cowboy Ribeye (medium); 5. Mac & Cheese; and 6. Apple Pie- salted caramel ice cream. The Oion crepe was good (tasted like French onion soup). The short rib was good, but very fatty, and Apple pie was good (could have used more cream honestly) The drinks were also good! As for the rest, I LOVE beef Wellington, have it at Gordon Ramsay's in AC a lot. I was so excited they had a beef Wellington appetizer! I can't tell you what tasted so bad in it, but it tasted bad! My wife said it tasted like plastic. I had a second piece thinking it had to be me..maybe too much sauce..nope, it was still off. I saw someone rave about the mac n cheese, however mine had no seasoning or flavor. It tasted like bland melted cheese over plain pasta. The steak was ok, like any other steak. I did ask for medium and it was medium rare (could see the deep red even in the dim light). I didn't bother sending it back since I knew I'd reheat it the next day and bring it to medium. Unfortunately at those prices I would not go back. If the food lived up to the hype, I'd pay those prices in a heartbeat.

    Bar Lesieur was on my friends list of "gotta try" and therefore....WE WENT! The atmosphere is dim, lush, sexy- french vibe accomplished! I HAD to try their specialty espresso martini which had coconut rum in it...oh lawd, was that delish! Highly recommend for all you coconut lovers out there. We started with 4 appetizers. Half we loved, half we were unimpressed by. The banger of the bunch was the french onion crepes. I've been thinking about them since trying them. Imagine french onion soup rolled into a crepe. Really, what could be bad?! We also tried the octopus which was also delicious. Perfectly tender with a lovely citrus bite. As for our not so faves of the bunch: the shrimp dumplings and wedge salad. The dumplings lacked seasoning...they had potential but the flavor majorly fell flat. While I didn't try the wedge, the deconstruction was not what the rest of our group was expecting, nor did they enjoy. For mains: we all got something different. I got the chicken, J got the wagyu short rib, Bets got the filet, and Justin got the salmon. The chicken and salmon were mid. J's wagyu short rib was pretty tasty and Betsy was happy with her filet as well! And for sides we tried the cauliflower au gratin and roasted mushrooms which both really rounded out the meal nicely! Would totally have those again if we ever return. Service was great and prices were honestly decent considering the amount of food we ordered. $160/couple- not so shabby!

    Croquettes
    Veronica G.

    We went for happy hour on our anniversary. It was our first impression and we will definitely return for a full dinner. The ambiance is great. Very dark and moody. The 2 happy hour cocktails were delicious, one much sweeter than the other but good for both preferences. We had 4 happy hour bites and each were a decent size. We split the burger, chicken sandwich, croquettes and fries and were satisfied, not overly full. The chicken sandwich was a little messy with the vegetables falling out, and the croquettes needed something, maybe salt? The fries were a little disappointing, the table next to us called them "McDonalds" fries which was accurate. The dipping sauce was nice though. They brought us a slice of cake with a sparkler for our anniversary, which wasn't the best slice but still a nice touch that we weren't expecting. We did want a real dessert though so we ordered the lemon tart, which turned out to be key lime that night and it was delicious! All in all, we are excited to try the actual dinner menu!

    Came for happy hour, there were some seats at the bar but filled up quick. I enjoyed the raspberry beret. The mac and cheese was one of the best I've ever had. If was going straight home I would've gotten it to go. Service was a bit of a miss for me I feel like I had to wait a good while to ask for the check or to even get checked in on. Otherwise it was great.

    Celebrating our last evening in Philadelphia at this beautiful restaurant
    Philip M.

    Mark and I found this place on Yelp. I will start by stating that food and service exceeded our expectations. It's an easy walk from the city hall and surrounding hotels. The entrance is shared with Giuseppe & Sons Restaurant. The dining area is spectacular and transported us to an elegant restaurant in France. We timed our visit for the Happy Hour which is available on Saturdays from 4pm-6pm. We ordered the mushroom toast, beef tartare,salmon tartare, fries with dijonaisse, crispy chicken sandwiches, the $42 lobster special, plus dirty martinis and queen bee cocktails. Everything was outstanding! Stephanie was our server and was super friendly and efficient. We had a great time chatting with other patrons while enjoying the delicious food and drinks. Bathrooms were beautiful, clean and elegant. We want to come back to Philadelphia just to eat and drink here again. We highly recommend this restaurant!!

    Fries & salmon tartar with lattice chips. Gin cocktails.

    Loved loved loved this spot. First time here, we enjoyed a lovely happy hour with some tasty vittles & cocktails. The gin cocktail was delicious and the beer on draft was very balanced. This place is a vibe, I got classy antique old skool Parisian lounge vibes but that's just me. Bartender, she was very lovely, attentive and accommodating. Definitely worth checking out. You can go straight from work there.

    A little tricky to find, but once you get inside the ambiance is wonderful. A dark and warm atmosphere with very nicely decorated rooms. Also some tables with sofas for a more relaxed dinner. They have a happy hour menu with some great food options, and their regular menu also has some good things I'd like to try next time. Mac n cheese was wonderful and an excellent deal, great to share. Mushroom toast also was tasty. Drinks were well put together as well. Definitely worth stopping in and adding this place to your rotation. Thanks

    Oysters

    Our server, Rhiana, was super attentive. We had oysters, beef tartare, Crab & Caviar Roll, and mini beef wellington, as well as the onion crepes. All were excellent! The onion crepes were our favorite. The cocktails were decently priced and tasted quite nice! Loved the general vibe of the restaurant, dimly lit and romantic. Great place to go!

    My friend and I came here for dinner as he wanted to try a new place. I checked out you Yelper's reviews and was pleasantly surprised and impressed by how good it was here compared to a good number of previous reviews. We hit a good one tonight. The cozy and rather intimate restaurant was dark to the point where I had to use my cell phone flashlight to read the menus. We started off with some cocktails and moved to what was recommended by our waiter for appetizers. We had the onion crepes and shrimp dumplings. Both were outstanding. The onion crepes were like a solid French onion soup with cheese in a light sauce with massive flavor. This was a big hit. The shrimp dumplings were also a big hit of several tasty bite sized morsels also with much flavor. Our mains were very good. I had the Bronzino and my friend was going to do the same but then switched to the duck. Cooked medium, he enjoyed it but said he's had better at other restaurants. I've also had better Bronzino elsewhere, but this single headless and boneless filet was super crispy and tasty. It was just fine. Dessert for me was a chocolate soufflé cake with an excellent accompaniment of a dollop of ice cream(?). Sorbet? Whatever it was, it paired nicely. We also had an espresso and cappuccino. As most of you Yelpers mentioned, service was impeccable. I've not had service this good in quite some time. $240 including tip for four cocktails, two appetizers, two mains, two desserts, and two coffees.

    The bad news: the last time I reviewed this spot was over 5 years ago!…read more The great news: IT HAS JUST GOTTEN BETTER! Admittedly, when we used to go, it was during a time we could only really sit outside and enjoy our bevs, or take them to go, and NOW we get to bask in the warm lighting, the INCREDIBLE soundtrack, and the perfect energy of the staff, so I think it's about time to re-review. Four Humours is the place I'd take a date (in fact, I did bring my husband last night), a girlfriend, a group getting ready to hit the town, OR for a night cap. it's so versatile - it can be whatever you need it to be. Like the Room of Requirement, only boozier. The crew gets SO creative with their cocktails - we've sipped on ones featuring pho-infused agave, chicken schmaltz-washed bourbon, carrot and pineapple foam, pandan - and they're always switching it up seasonally and I can not WAIT to find out what's coming this fall. Cocktails range from $15-20, pretty similar to most of the neighborhood, but they are STRONG. I started buzzing after 2 the last time I went. I love this for the jump-off to a night out or, as a mother of 3 who's hustling home for the babysitter, a one-stop shop. Added bonus: you can order food delivered to the bar! Pro-tip, if you get pizza share with the bartenders. If you order South Sichuan you just might melt from the SPICE level. No matter what you're doing with the night, you're gonna have a great time AND a few great bevs!

    Conflicted experience for our pre-game here before taking in a concert…read more First off, there are not many options in this part of the city for bars which is located across the street from Union Transfer (small concert venue). As we were attending a show at 8pm at Union Transfer we met up for a drink and some food at Poison Heart. The vibe is a very darkly lit bar, heavy grunge music (think screaming, all screaming and rage), and a movie on a large screen in black and white from what looked like the 1950's. I started with the Yamanote Line (Midori, Japanese vodka, Tequila, Honeydew & citrus, bubbles). This drink packs a punch and I enjoyed it; it is a bit too sweet to have multiples of the drink, so I moved on to the Trouble Boy. Trouble boy consists of a Thai tea infused mezcal, aged rum, coconut, orange & lime, and nutmeg. Again, the drink was a bit sweet and now I am in for $32 for two drinks. They have interesting drinks for sure, but my gut told me they may be trying too hard to find a killer drink as neither of these really spoke to me except on raising my blood sugar pretty severely (I can watch in real time as I have a dexcom blood glucose monitor that shows my sugar). On to the food. Again, very interesting items. I went with the Keeg Veeg (fried eggplant, long hots, pickled carrot, cukes, cilantro, black bean paste & vega sriracha mayo). Now this item definitely cleaned out my sinuses. I only ate half as I didn't love the seeded bread. The sandwich reminded me of a Vietnamese hoagie. I enjoyed it but didn't love it. My friend got the Gary Cooper, which is a hand cut ribeye burger. The burger appeared to be very small but looked good. Couple tips based on my experience, do not get the Oyster River dry cider, my friend said it tasted like oysters and he had to send it back as it was undrinkable. All in all, the place wasn't bad but after the concert we had a choice to go back to this place or walk about half a mile to the nearest bar and that's what we did. The four of us each getting two or so drinks per person and some bar food came out to $267. This one is a one and done for me, but I appreciate they have some unique items on the menu.
