The Rittenhouse Grill is without question the finest steakhouse in Philadelphia. The food and service are excellent. The atmosphere and ambience cannot be matched. We are so fortunate to have a restaurant of this quality in our city. Whether it’s every day dining a date or a special occasion both else compares

We had a delicious lunch with excellent service. The chicken piccata and the pesto chicken were amazing. The octopus special had some of the best-prepared octopus either of us ever had. We also liked the option of having a leisurely paced meal - does not happen very often.

The food, service and atmosphere was amazing, however I feel the prices for individual glasses of wine were a bit overpriced.
