The goud is always great here. The charcuterie board was amazing. Lots of items and good portions. The potato bravas are so good! The garlic shrimp came out bubbling hot and so tasty. The croquettes were delicious as was the crab stuffed peppers. The French toast and eggs Benedict entrees were both delicious.

It has been a few years since I’ve dined here, and this wonderful restaurant with its excellent menu and impeccably provided service are still as memorable. The roasted beet salad with goat cheese was perfectly dressed, and the seared scallops with lobster and asparagus risotto were to die for. I’ll be back here the next time I’m in Philly!!
