Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Rittenhouse Square

Boyfriend and I went and split three dishes, which came recommended from a server. Onion soup, warm shrimp salad, and the steak frites. Everything was fantastic. We ordered our steak medium, and it came out very medium rare. Our server returned it, the manager came out and apologized. They returned with a corrected steak and more frites. Definitely recommend eating the frites with the steak in one bite. Good one their own but together- chef’s kiss! All of the food was incredible, and felt like we were back in Paris for an hour. Only critique would be for the bread to come warm to the table, or the butter to be softened so it could easily spread on the bread.

Marathon never disappoints! Good food at a great price. The vibe is cozy and low key. Service is friendly and helpful. A great place to relax and enjoy good food.

Terrific homemade pasta that had us raving. Saffron seafood pasta and a salmon tagliatelle. Hospitable staff and owners.

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.

I was there on Christmas Day evening. It was very busy and both the Kitchen and the front of the house did a really good job. My server was prompt and very attentive and my food arrived quickly and was hot and of good flavor yet I did not feel rushed. I live in the neighborhood and will definitely return.
