    The staff at Garces is amazing. They are very accommodating and the service is top-notch. And the food... so good. I am particularly fond of the Crispy Chicken Sandwich but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

    Outstanding service from attentive, courteous, and extremely well informed staff. It is a delightful alternative to anything available in 30th St Station - but the woman who tended to us raised the experience well beyond just the food, which was good. Would return just to be served by her.

    Waitstaff were courteous and knowledgeable. Atmosphere was fun, but sometimes noisy with trains and traffic. Menu is small, but the items are delicious

    Located in the Cira Building it provides a moderate meal for those who have to catch a train or working in the building. Nothing outstanding, with the salads the best but suffers from no competition save the fast food in the train station.

    Overall, highly recommended. Smaller menu, but all food options are excellent. Convenient for those visiting the Cira Center or 30th Street Station. Definitely worth trying.
