    A perfect pick for our smallish family Thanksgiving dinner. We were stunned by the depth of the menu and the raw bar is probably one of the best I’ve had in a long while. They’ve nailed an elevated menu with comfortable and engaging service in an elegant setting that complements the Philly dynamic - it’s not New York because it doesn’t want to be. Our table lead, Erica, was absolutely amazing, responding to every ask with a yes and here’s something else amazing to go with it. Joe and George were bright spots, making a simple table service and plate clearing an event of their own. Totally and utterly satisfied. We found our new Philly Thanksgiving go-to.

    Our service was absolutely exceptional. Everything you would expect at the four seasons. Friendly, warm, kind and still very professional. Best experience as always.💕 thank you for an amazing birthday celebration for our son and for accommodating our request to be close to the window! He was so excited and very appreciative.
