Westville Restaurants

We had a wonderful time. The waiters and the rest of the staff were excellent. The food was absolutely delicious.

First, you can't beat the ambience of this 4-masted sailing ship turned restaurant built in 1904 docked on the Delaware waterfront in Philadelpha. Add to that superb cuisine and service and it made for a memorable Valentine's Day dinner (a day late), Baked brie appetizer was excellent and large enough to share. My wife's scallops and my Alaska halibut were similarly outstanding. We both enjoyed the 2019 Mosel region Riesling that went well with dinner. To top it off, our server was one of the best ever. The Moshulu is not cheap but not outrageous, especially for the quality. If you drive there, parking is $20.

This was our second visit to Chubby's, and it did not disappoint. The live jazz music was just the right volume, and the staff was friendly and attentive. My filet and lobster were perfect, and my wife loved her lamp chops. If I could offer any constructive criticism, it would be about the wine list. Apparently, they are redoing their wine selection, so our server asked us to pick a wine, then pick a backup from their wine list just in case and we did just that. Both of our wine choices were Malbec wines. Our waitress returned to say they have neither Malbec wine on hand then introduced us to the young lady responsible for redoing the wine selection since she knew more about wine. Out wine person then apologized and recommended a Zinfandel wine to try instead. We asked about their other Malbec wine selections on the wine list and were told they had no Malbec wine available at all. I swear that this was barley an issue for us but if this young lady is the one redoing the wine selection why couldn't she cobble together and print a simple wine list with a few choices of each varietal that they actually have on hand versus the wait staff having to tell the customer to choose a wine then choose a backup wine from an old outdated 3–4-page wine list that is totally inaccurate only to have to come back to the customer to apologize, re-explain the wine reorganization going on and start all over again. It just felt sloppy and unnecessary. Of course, I didn't blame our server for this, nor did it really matter to us, but some people think differently, and I really feel it's unfair to the wait staff to take that hit since they bust their butts to make sure the dining experience is perfect and have no control over the wine list and wine selection. Just my 2 cents on that. All in all, it was truly a great experience and a fantastic meal.

As always the staff at Fiorella goes above and beyond. We arrived for a Valentine’s Day reservation at 5:30 inside but an earlier seating wasn’t budging and we ended up not being sat until around 6. The staff immediately apologized for the wait and set us at ease by saying, “please take your time and don’t feel rushed — we have rearranged seatings.” We then were given a welcome glass of wine and a complimentary pasta for our patience. Again the staff just went above and beyond. Every dish was perfectly prepared and delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience once again.

What an incredible restaurant. They have parking/valet options. Shoot out to Nick and Greg for taking care of the car. We got there early but they were able to seat us. They have high chairs for the little ones. Food is outstanding. Service is even better. Make sure you go, and go often.
