   So many memories here and really sad that it’s all coming to an end. I couldn’t possibly let this restaurant go out of business without one less spin. Thanks for all the good times.

   Excellent food and service. Parking is awful and expensive at $30 for a 2hr dinner.

   Unfortunately we found pieces of glass in the Brussel sprouts not good Manager compted us the dessert & 50% off the bill Also they are closing on 12/31 which would have made us schedule a different restaurant

   The food is great but this review is pointless, as Devon Seafood Grill will be closing in a few weeks. The opening was a toasty lobster & crab salad roll sandwich, followed by the mixed seafood grill: shrimp, scallops, salmon, crab cake & grilled asparagus. All was seasoned & cooked to perfection. The side dish, king crab fried rice was a letdown. It was over-salted and tasted much strongly of bacon than crab. Surprise: the champagne was half-price (going out of business sale?) and the final coffee was freshly brewed & excellent. Bottom line: Typically expensive for Center City Philly, but the food was first-rate and the ambience was elegant but relaxing. I'm disappointed my first visit to DSG will also be my last. So I guess if you can get there in the next -2weeks, I say "treat yourself." Otherwise, hope the next restaurant to fill the space serves food of similar quality.

   Really wish this spot wasn’t closing down. Had such a positive experience and would love to become a regular. Our first time dining here was memorable and I hope all the staff find new jobs that satisfy their needs in no time at all. Best wishes!

   Food was excellent. Ambience lacking they stuck us in very cold bar area. Would love to be more romantic. Waiter was ok, no personality. I’d go back again but request dining room area

    Very very disspaointed. We are in Philly 4 times a year to visit family. It is such a great foodie town. Devon was recommended and disappointed us Our drinks arrived together. When the other couple ordered theirs only 1 drink came out. The second drink arrived after our appetizers. Food ok, nothing that would bring me back. WORSE BAKED POTATO EVER. If you cant get that right take it off the menu. And you charged $12!! We sent it back the first time. Embarrassed to send it back a second time. Not sure. How you can mess that up. Service was ok, nit great for the pricey venue. Had to look for our waitress several times. She forgot a lot of things, no sauces for shucked oysters, then those arrived with no serving spoons. Did not give everyone fresh silverware. Has to look for her to get check. The food is not worth the money or the calories. I also made this reservation 30 days out. Requested a booth Hostess told me we could have a booth with chairs. That not a booth. And there were many of them so not sure why our request wasn’t met.
