    They served me a pizza that brought me to tears it was so good. We started with the crispy octopus and tuna crudo. Both were dishes we know but done just uniquely enough that we wanted more and more. Next we got the sweet jawn pizza. Admittedly this was for my husband. I don't care about pizza that much. It was so good, I genuinely started crying. Next we had the corn cavatalli which was so elevated and delish. As for drinks we had a bottle of prosecco that was delish then for dessert we had the beautiful tiramisu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was good but the atmosphere is sleek and sexy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I celebrated my engagement at Wm Mulherin's Sons with a few close friends yesterday. The reservation was for 1:30 PM and once everyone in the party arrived, we were seated at a table in the back of their main dining room. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has a classy, old-school feel to it and is extremely cozy. I loved that it was quite lively, yet it wasn't loud. We were all able to have a conversation without yelling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was a sweetie, bringing water to the table and being very prompt with taking our orders. It was easy since we all decided to get pizzas. We shared the Bubbly Brunch, consisting of one bottle of champagne and a small pitcher of orange juice for the table. This was priced at $68 and gave 5 people two servings each. The pizza was outstanding. The crust was cooked beautifully and there was enough flavor with the mushrooms and caramelized onions. I usually find myself adding Parmesan cheese or garlic powder to my pizza, but it was not needed here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The hotel next door looks adorable, too. The pumpkins scattered all around the front made it feel festive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] While the brunch items were great, I want to return to try their dinner menu!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such an amazing atmosphere - it was so lively and energetic inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was a bit slow, but honestly the place was super busy as I went on a Friday night. The food was AMAZING! Definitely get the carbonara and the gnocchi, and don't miss out on the foccacia either. Also... be prepared to look for parking for a while (if you're driving). The lot is pretty small and was full by the time I got there.

    Tortelonni di zucca

    Charming rustic and cozy Italian restaurant. I loved the coziness and warmness of the atmosphere. There was a fire place in the main dining area and twinkly Christmas lights decorating inside. My group of 4 stopped by for dinner. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance. The restaurant was completely packed on a Saturday night. We ordered two cocktails and 3 appetizers to start. Cocktails: 1. crimson and clover was very good. Not too sweet and I enjoyed the pomegranate & ginger beer combo. 2. Martini was citrusy and strong! Not my cup of tea Focaccia: very fluffy and soft on the inside. Crispy on the outside. The ricotta olive oil dip was pleasant. Nothing special about this dish but it was a good sharing app Wood fired beets: so good. Even if you don't like beets, you'll like these. Beets were sweet and topped with ricotta and pistachio. Very delicious. Grilled calamari: also very good. Charred, tender, and full of flavor. For entrees, we ordered the tortellini di zucca, apple pie pizza, and spicy jawn pizza. Tortellini: smaller than I was expecting but very tasty. Creamy, nutty, and not too heavy. Apple pie pizza: seems like this pie is seasonal. Apples, ham, and brussels sprouts with a white sauce. If you're a fan of Hawaiian pizza, this might be up your alley. The apple and ham combo was nice but this isn't necessarily something I'd get again. Spicy jawn pizza: this pizza was very meaty and had a nice spice to it! Overall every dish was good and I'd come back.

    Another restaurant added to my solid list! Only ding was the pasta was still a smidge too firm. Otherwise, loved it! They are located in an area with a bunch of cool restaurants, loved the warmth as we walked by the fireplace. It's simultaneously spacious and cozy. Our waitress was very nice and efficient. We had the funghi (mushroom) pizza, octopus and rigatoni. The pizza was earthy with a slight tang from the drizzle on top. Perfectly Charred without being burnt so so good-we are looking forward to trying the "spicy jawn" next time. The pasta was a bit firm as mentioned, but the sauce was a little creamy but bright and pretty delicious. The octopus was excellent. Just the right chew with a brightness from the bean, lemon, pesto sauce. Delicious!

    Food is decent, service was spotty even with just me sitting at the bar that was half empty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interior is a cool vibe[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], overall wasn't impressed by anything.

    THE BEST TIRAMISU
    Lana S.

    My husband and I came here for a date night after an event :) We had an early dinner reservation so the place was pretty empty (around 5:30pm). After hearing all the great reviews for this place form Yelp elite friends I know we had to try it :) I started off with this signature cocktail for the weekend. I forgot the name but it was very gin forward. Pricey but worth it! For appetizer we got the burrata. It came with this thin crispy cracker like bread. That was divine with the mushrooms and balsamic vinegar. I wish we had more of everything since it was so yummy! For entrees I went with the spaghetti + lobster. The pasta was cooked al dente with a light and savory tomato based sauce. Lobster chunks were sweet and flavorful. Really enjoyed this bowl of pasta. My husband got the mushroom pizza which he really enjoyed as well. For dessert we had to try the tiramisu. Its the best I've had in the city so far. I would come back just for the tiramisu and some coffee! This tiramisu comes in a glass bowl and is more of a mousse like texture. You would really taste the expresso soaked lady fingers. Very very good. Our waitress was so kind and the atmosphere was cozy. Love the decor and the fireplace :) I would def. Come back to try more things! Their brunch menu looks very good as well :)

    I enjoyed my visit and dining experience here this past weekend. Food was really tasty. The chef was able to accommodate specific food request due to allergy/food preferences. The service was okay. Our waitress did everything asked of her and was able to answer some of our questions. I just thought the food options were limited for brunch. Heavy on the breakfast and not the lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also the bathroom was pretty nasty for early in the day and wrecked of urine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]For the place to be so beautiful and the food so good those bathrooms smell and felt more like an airport bathroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Wm Mulherins Sons is a great Italian eatery in fishtown offering Italian eatery and pizzas. An upscale eatery we sat at the bar got excellent service. We got their steak and pasta. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare temperature and the pasta was delicious. It is an all encompassing restaurant offering a more causal vibe or a nice date night out. Food was delicious and service was great definitely a place I will be going back to.

    Leslie Chow pizza
    Morgan C.

    Fantastic food, interior decor and service. I've enjoyed all of my visits to WM's, and love that they have seasonal options. Most recently, I came with three friends and we split several dishes rather than all ordering our own. Two starters, two pizzas and two pastas was plenty for the four of us. My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that recently, I asked to modify a cocktail (just to switch the base alcohol) and was told that would not be possible as the cocktail was already "batched". This seems to be a trend lately at local spots and it's a huge disappointment especially when they have full bars and presumably all of the ingredients. I think it's also a shame when the cocktail prices are so high (average of $15/drink) that they are not being made to order. I ended up adding liquor to one of the mocktails instead, which they were willing to do. Otherwise, WM's is a favorite and I'll definitely be back!

    Crispy Octopus
    Christy L.

    This restaurant was so cute and so delicious. I honestly would recommend it to anyone in the philly area looking for a good date night meal or just a fun night out. There is an outdoor patio section with benches and heaters that is so well decorated for good vibes with friends. For food, I tried the crispy octopus as a starter, the Rigatoni alla Norcina, the Pappardelle, and enjoyed a Masque of the Red Death cocktail. - Crispy octopus- delicious 10/10. The octopus was cooked so well it genuinely melted in your mouth. The sauce was lemony and herbacious, it was so good. I would come back just for this. - Of the two pastas, I think I liked the Pappardelle better. Both pastas were cooked to perfect al dente. The Rigatoni was a much bigger portion with more meat, but it was a bit too over salted. - Masque of the Red Death- delicious cocktail. Really good if you like hibiscus/fruity drinks. Our server was extremely nice and gave us many good recommendations. The food did come out a bit slow though. But overall, I can't wait to be back.

    Tiramisu and pistachio gelato
    Olivia G.

    Made it in here finally after a long day of moving boxes around and wasn't disappointed. The atmosphere was lively as several grad dinners were booked out for the evening. Our waiter was a bit behind but one of the floor managers came over to get us started with drinks and water. We put all the food in at once and was really full by the end of it. For three people we had the Sweet Jawn pizza and Beet Salad to share as appetizers. Then each ordered a pasta dish, the spaghetti, angelotti and gnocchi. Amazing. So perfect. Handmade on site and worth the visit alone. Then wrapped it up by splitting the tiramisu and two scoops of pistachio gelato. Maybe the best gelato since I was in Italy three years ago. A very great experience, and hope to go back to try other entrees soon.

    Spicy Jawn
    Cameron B.

    Came here today for Mother's Day and this restaurant never disappoints! Great Pizza and great apps! We started with the Focaccia with whipped ricotta (8.5/10) soooo good! It's a must order. We also got the octopus which was pretty good too 7/10. My wife and I shared 2 pizzas (Sweet Jawn & Spicy Jawn) both were really good but the Spicy Jawn was a bit better. Spicy Jawn 8.5/10 and Sweet Jawn 7.5/10. For dessert I got the Olive Oil Cake which was pretty good 7/10 and My Mom, Sister, and Wife got the Strawberry Sorbet 8/10. Can't wait to go back!

    We have a table on the "patio" coming up? Is that covered or in a pod like many restaurants have?

    The patio is fully open and uncovered.

    Are there any gluten free options?

    I believe their menu changes, but when I was there a few months ago there were vegetarian and seafood items that were gluten free.

You'd be unlikely to find this unless you knew to look for it. The main feature of this bar is the cocktail menu; it's creative and ambitious and yet very approachable, with helpful adjectives for each cocktail. The Mango Sticky Rice made my jaw drop; not only did the juicy mango come through, but also somehow a sense of starchiness, while being entirely balanced with the liquor. Definitely some of the best cocktails in Philly. And the music and vibe is so cozy but lively; the live records spinning create a warm atmosphere that is not sleepy nor dancey, instead you'll find yourself tapping your feet and swaying in your seat while in deep conversation or just enjoyable contemplation. I have to shout out Carl and Brianna, who made our evening especially unforgettable. They guided us seamlessly through the menu, were so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. They really made 48 Record Bar feel like a second home we can't wait to return to. Last thing- the bathroom setup was such a fun surprise, you have to check it out!!

But then I spotted a dark beer on the menu that sounded too good to pass up. If you follow me, you know I'm slowly becoming a dark beer guy. I liked it a lot. The sandwich special was a cheesesteak. Sorry, I should've taken a picture of the menu. But I really enjoyed it, and for $18 it came with a mountain of seasoned fries, which feels like a bargain these days.

With the help of Yelp, we found this place. First off, the building that houses National Mechanics is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and for good reason. The pub/restaurant occupies the old Mechanics National Bank, a majestic Greek Revival building, built in 1836. Inside the restaurant, the surroundings contrasted greatly with the outside. The large, primarily wooden interior has the feel of a vintage pub. It is equally as beautiful as the front. The service at National Mechanics was great. Though the staff was clearly running shorthanded, every employee we came into contact with served us with a smile and couldn't be friendlier. The food, at least on that day, was mediocre at best, unfortunately. While the menu was filled with all sorts of tempting dishes that already made us thinking of future visits, we opted for the Mexican Burger and the Ribeye Cheesesteak, two twists on old pub standbys. Sadly, we were both disappointed in our meals. We did start off on a bright spot, food-wise. My friend and I opted to share the Batter-Fried Pickled Green Beans, which were fabulous! Too bad the good food ended there... The description of the Mexican Burger sounded amazing, with avocado, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeños, Monterrey Jack cheese, and chipotle mayo. My friend said it was kind of bland and it was quite greasy. My ribeye cheesesteak did not match well with its "Amoroso" roll and the steak itself was dry. In the end, we were both disappointed in our choice in a lunch spot. Perhaps it was the large crowd of diners and little staff that made it all come out a little...off. In the end, I'd try National Mechanics again if I were in the area, as the atmosphere and service made it a cool spot to dine in. Hopefully the food will be better next time.
