Steak Frites
Torya M.

I was truly tired of eating Asian food, cheesesteaks, and the usual chains I see back home, so I decided to come here. The first thing that caught my eye, besides the burger, was the steak frites. Boom. Decision made. The steak was well seasoned, cooked to a perfect medium well, and topped with a rich demi glaze. The french fries were piping hot, not overly salty, and the individual ketchup for dipping was a nice touch. I sat at the bar, and my bartender Jonathan was fantastic. Super cool, engaging, and made the experience even better. I ate slowly and savored every bite. Since I was waiting for my train, I did not want anything too heavy, and this turned out to be the perfect meal before leaving Philly. Cheers.

Tried the Creekstone Farms 18oz bone-in NY strip and Ora King salmon. The salmon surprised me the most -- subtle coconut flavor with a little heat that actually worked really well. The steak was solid, but honestly... the potatoes stole the show. Butter-soft, rich, and exactly what you want on the side.

Cheesecake
Kim A.

Been here twice for brunch. I really enjoy the waffles with the fruit on top. The orange juice is my fave. I have also come for restaurant week in 2023 and the chicken sandwich wasn't bad. The dessert of chocolate cake and cheesecake was really good. The place is really cozy and I do enjoy getting there early in the mornings. I believe my waitress was named Ashley (this was well over a year ago), wore glasses, and she was so sweet! I really enjoyed her energy, the conversation, and her checking in on me. I love the brown of the interior. Makes me feel like I'm back in time. It's super chill every time I visit.

I was staying at the Loew's last week, so Bank & Bourbon was an easy last stop for an afternoon cocktail before heading off to the train station. It was midday last Friday, and the restaurant was pretty empty; the bar more so. My friend ordered a whiskey flight, which he said was reasonably priced. He's a hardcore craft beer drinker so I was shocked by the beverage choice! I ordered the espresso martini, which was nicely done. Prices were decent and service was pleasant. There are absolutely better spots to visit in this area, but I'm glad to have checked it out.

Bread for the table
Elie T.

The food here was very good and service is friendly and the restaurant is comfortable with plenty of seats. We ordered the pork chop which was perfectly cooked. It came with broccoli rabe that were also very tasty. We also got the brussel sprouts salad which was delicious, it had cranberries and blue cheese. I added a salmon filet which was also well cooked and seasoned. Our kids got the kids burger and chicken tenders which were big in size. Would recommend if you're in the area or staying at Loews hotel. They do have happy hour also but it's only at the bar.

Ok I give the bar here all of the stars! Special shout out to Irene and Jess who made our visit here so special! We came here for drinks and decided to check out the happy hour (which they have on Sunday) and ended to loving it so much that we came back for a nightcap. I got the Chardonnay and hubby tried a beer as well as their manhattan (which was delicious). We also ordered the cheese plate and the Parmesan fries. The fries were perfectly seasoned and were so good that we ordered a second round. The vibe at this spot is great even though it's located in a hotel- it had a bit of a speakeasy vibe. But the absolute standout was the bartenders/staff. Irene and Jess went out of their way to give us (and our puppy) the highest qualify of service. They even brought out a special treat for the pup. This is definitely going to be a go to spot for us anytime we come back to visit Philly!

Bourbon bar
Peter H.

Nice restaurant within a hotel in downtown Philly. I came in after a conference around 8PM and it was fairly busy but I was able to grab a seat at the bar. Service was quick and I ordered the Brussel Sprout salad as an appetizer, it was really good a a nice healthy choice to compliment the burger. The burger and truffle fries were good, the Burger was the right size and the truffle fries were worth the upgrade. I wish I would have tried one of the bourbon flights, maybe next time!

Sixty South Salmon
Tysha S.

My Aunt was staying in the Loews Hotel for a speaking engagement at a conference held there and she asked us to come meet her for dinner. I made reservations for 5 people through the RESY App for 4/6/25. We were seated on time and the service staff was attentive and friendly. We ordered our meals. I ordered the crab soup and Salmon. We had enjoyed our meals until we saw a mouse scurry across the floor in the dining area near our table. This was my first time eating here and I was very surprised that a mouse was present. It made me not want to eat anything else. We didn't notice anything funny about the food or anything but just the thought of there are possibly rodents in the restaurant turned us off. The manager comped what desserts we ordered from our table but honestly we could have caused a more unpleasant scene. It was almost like they know and this is what they do to make up for it. I didn't like that. For the restaurant owners and operators, I wanted to leave a better review but this needs to be addressed immediately. Not sure if this has happened to anyone else but I most likely will not return. And it's unfortunate because the food was delicious.

Trout entrée
Jerry P.

We visited Bank & Bourbon on a quiet Sunday evening, and when I say quiet, I mean it! Our table was the only occupied one in the restaurant when we arrived. The calm atmosphere and romantic lighting had its charm but also felt a bit strange for such a well-known spot smack in the middle of Center City. The food left us with mixed impressions. I ordered the trout, which was cooked properly but didn't have any standout flavors. My wife had the risotto, and while it was perfectly fine, it was just that, fine. Nothing was bad, but neither dish inspired much excitement. The drinks were definitely the highlight, though. My wife's martini was perfect, and my Rusty Nail was just the right balance of bold and smooth. Neither drink is terribly complicated, but the top-notch ingredients and care in preparation and presentation were obvious. If you're stopping by, the bar is clearly where they shine. Service was friendly but not particularly attentive, which was surprising given how slow the restaurant was. We had to wait longer than expected for drink refills, check-ins and the check. So would I come back for dinner? Certainly not, especially at the prices they charge. I would be happy to drop by the bar to sample from their extensive bourbon, whiskey and scotch collection for a nightcap if I were staying in the area.

Devin J.

The food selection was vibrant and flavorful, and the cocktails were tasty. I was however disappointed in the atmosphere *despite it being below a hotel as I am aware*, it did feel like we were in the middle of a hotel lobby as opposed to a stylish modern industrial whiskey bar as we had anticipated. Our server was kind but inattentive.

Dry Aged Burger w blu cheese
Drew F.

Inside Loews first floor hotel, 10:15p on a Thursday kitchen still open. Ordered Burger w blu cheese & fries. Cooked medium, juicy & delicious. Service to lobby area seating was fast & friendly.

Irene Grey's Ferry drink

Irene is the best bartender that I've ever encountered, the Grey's Ferry drink that she's the creator of is one of the best I've ever had. Irene's name needs to be added to the name of the drink to credit her accordingly. If you stop here, make sure you to get this game changing drink and I'd also recommend the cheese steak and parmesan rosemary fries.

Full cheese board
Lucy L.

I actually really like the food and drink at bank and bourbon. The service is awful. I have been twice and both times had a terrible experience. The first time I went I sat and at the bar and the person behind the bar left. No big deal, but it took a long time for literally anyone to get back behind the bar. And then randomly there were suddenly 4 people behind the bar. When I wanted to pay my check again no one was there. I waited for a while until finally an employee happened to be around me and I flagged him down. I went early for happy hour so it wasn't crowded or anything. The second time I went we were seated at a table. The server gave us water and then didn't come back. We tried waiting but after a long while I flagged down another random employee asking if we could order. Meanwhile it took us a while to flag anyone down because anyone who did happen to appear kept walking past our table fast avoiding looking at us. When we wanted the check again we couldn't find anyone. During this instance there were two bartenders the whole time but since we didn't order from the bar I didn't want to disturb them. I loved the cheese board both times. The drinks were good. I just found it to be extremely difficult to order, close out, or anything similar.

Our party had the homemade mozzarella sticks as an appetizer, and we loved them so much, we put in a second order. Our mains consisted of the smash burger, steak frites, pork chop, and short rib pasta. All made our eyes roll back in our head. So the food was awesome. One of the things that surprised us the most was that everything came out very quickly. Even though they were really busy, the efficiency of that kitchen stunned us. The consensus on the cocktails was that they were good, not great, which is why the 4.5 instead of a 5. One other thing that stunned us was the prices. They were actually really reasonable, especially considering the quality of the experience and food. They're so reasonable, in fact, that I hope they don't get themselves into a bind. We're definitely going back to Darling Jack's.

Bar service is fantastic. Great vibe and music…read more The wedge salad was artfully crafted, with large bacon chunks (not bits!) and hearty amounts of blue cheese and tomatoes. Plus some dill. Highly recommend if you have an appetite. Half chicken comes with a monster serving of mashed potatoes, all covered in jus and sliced olives. Recommend if you have an appetite as well! It's hearty for sure, with a seared lemon wedge--as if it needs any more flavor. Worth a visit if here for a night or you're a local!

Service 5 stars Ambiance 4 stars Food -1 star Butcher Bar is located on Chestnut near 20th. Parking was surprisingly easy on this day. We ordered online for a family member who was in need of comfort food and specifically asked for steak from this spot. Online ordering was relatively easy - the menu is pretty straightforward with lots of comfort food options. On entering, there is a decidedly hipster bar vibe. It is a rather narrow space dominated by a beautiful bar adorned with copious bottles of liquor and fancy brass spigots. There are also a few simple wooden block type tables with metal chairs and an open kitchen towards the back that rounds out the hipster look. Pick-up was quick and easy. I received a friendly greeting from the hostess and even the bartender flashed a wide friendly smile. The order was packaged nicely and I delivered it promptly to its intended recipient who excitedly grabbed the packaged meal, as she had been looking forward to it all day. Sadly, the rest of the story isn't so great. The steak lacked flavor and was over cooked. I did forget to say medium but that should be the default for a place that serves primarily meat. Anyway, on getting to the bottom of the steak, she found a HAIR that looked like was placed there as part of the dish. I kid you not. I was utterly appalled by this. Suffice to say, the rest of the meal went untouched. Huge disappointment. So, it's a no for me.

Small, rustic, a little loud, Monk's Cafe is exactly what you want from a proper Belgian beer bar. Original plan was to sneak away solo for a bit during our Labor Day weekend trip, since we had two families with young kids in tow, but in the end everyone decided to come along, and it turned out to be a great call. There are plenty of kid-friendly food options, so nobody was stuck without something to eat. The real treat this visit was a tap takeover by Cantillon, the legendary Belgian lambic brewery out of Brussels. Getting to try a couple of their beers on tap was honestly a bit of a dream - it's the kind of thing you don't expect to find outside of Belgium, so I definitely took advantage. Food-wise[1], we ordered the pork belly, the duck salad, and the squash & mushrooms - all excellent, but the duck salad was the standout of the table. The also offer 5 different kinds of mussels, each version prepared with a different kind of beer, and multiple vegetarian options. This is a step above typical pub food, more refined without losing any of the coziness. We went as a group of six on a Saturday late afternoon, no reservation, and waited about 30 minutes for a table - not bad at all for a Saturday. We grabbed a couple of beers at the bar while we waited, and ended up getting seated at one of the large round tables up front, which worked perfectly for our group. Already looking forward to going back. ------------------------------------ [1] Menu: https://www.monkscafe.com/menu

The wings were crispy, cooked consistently, and had great flavor. We tried both the soy and spicy sauces, and both were delicious. -Sotteok-Sotteok - Unfortunately, this was the only disappointing item. The rice cakes were noticeably undercooked, and the Japanese sausages tasted like standard store bought varieties. Considering the wait time and the price, this dish didn't live up to expectations. Final Thoughts - While one of the food items missed the mark, everything else about the experience was excellent. The atmosphere was fun, the wings were a great value, and the service was outstanding. Honestly, just the interactions we had with our servers alone would be enough reason for me to come back. I'd happily return for the drinks, the wings, and to try more of the menu.
