Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Northwest Philly

Little Water is a refreshing dinner spot offering a nice variety of seafood dishes. The service and pacing of the meal make this place shine - it is so relaxing to dine here! The staff keep glasses full. The pacing of the meal is excellent - they leave plenty of time for each dish to shine. Tables are spaced out nicely as well, further contributing to a relaxed dining experience. We had a 5:45 res on a Saturday night and stayed for about 2 hours as a party of 2 ordering apps, drinks & entrees. For a ladies night out, we tried the bread, swordfish crudo, Caesar salad & swordfish Milanese. Each course surpassed our expectations. The caesar salad was HUGE and delicious - definitely something you could split as a large side for 2 or a small side for 4. Excellent wine and cocktail selection as well. They also had some mocktails on the menu that looked tasty. Absolutely thrilled! Would return for a celebration

Dinner for 6 at Melograno’s was awesome! The restaurant is comfortable and welcoming. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable (especially Marco). The food is amazing! We sampled salads, burrata, multiple pasta dishes and of course dessert. Everything was delicious. Thank you!

The branzino and the snapper were our highlights last night. we had the sides of broccolini and potatoes which were so fresh and delicious. There were starters of crudos salmon and yellow tail which were small but tasty bites for the 4 of us. The clams were liked by three the 4th is not a fan of cooked clams.

Never disappointed eating at Butcher Bar. The best is the Ribeye cheesesteak. Unfortunately, it is only a special -- please add to the daily menu.

FOOD AND SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT. IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME THERE. WILL BE BACK.
