Had an absolutely incredible dinner at Butcher and Singer. We started with the biscuits, which were…read morehonestly the best biscuits I've ever had. Every steak at the table was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The sides were just as impressive -- the mac and cheese, stuffed potato hash, broccolini, and mashed potatoes were all amazing. We also tried the cheesecake and lemon dessert, and both were outstanding. From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. Easily one of the best steakhouse experiences we've had.

Arrived late at 10pm on a Friday without a reservation. The place was PACKED! Went to bar and…read morewaited 15 minutes for a seat. That's good. Be aware the bar is small. Ordered bone in filet with mashed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts. It was a little slow to receive (they were busy!) about 40 minutes. Steak was cooked perfectly sprouts were just right but the best part were the potatoes. Unbelievable taste! Crispy exterior with soft inside. I normally don't eat all of potatoes but I left nothing on plate. Simply delicious! Had homemade vanilla ice cream which was good but had a little too much honey flavor for my tastes. Biggest surprise were the biscuits. Unbelievably delicious!! Yes was a good experience! Enjoy but make a reservation. Just saying

We ordered a wide range of dishes. The appetizers were all excellent, but the steaks were disappointing. They arrived undercooked and overly seasoned. The two New York strips we ordered also tasted noticeably different from each other, which was unexpected. If you're looking for an intimate date night or place to bring out of town friends a family, this is your spot!

I came across this incredible restaurant while searching for the nearest sushi bar to the hospital…read morewhere my wife was a patient, and what a remarkable surprise it turned out to be. The first impression was not especially auspicious. The restaurant is tucked away in the basement beneath a building on Walnut Street in Philadelphia, and at first glance the menu prices gave me pause. But from the very first bite, every doubt completely disappeared. The sushi was absolutely extraordinary -- some of the best I have ever had anywhere. I ordered the 9-piece tasting menu with uni for $68, and every single piece of nigiri was exquisite. The fish practically melted in my mouth, with outstanding freshness, texture, and flavor. Each bite felt carefully crafted and perfectly balanced. The service was equally impressive. The staff was warm, cheerful, attentive, and made the entire experience feel welcoming and relaxed. I arrived toward the end of the evening, so the restaurant was pleasantly quiet, which made the meal even more enjoyable. This was truly a memorable dining experience. Every course was exceptional, and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates outstanding sushi. My only regret is that it is so far from where I live, because otherwise I would return again and again.

We ordered salads, steak, pork chops, mashed potatoes, corn, and a bottle of overpriced Caymus wine. Hubby liked his pork chops, my filet was ok. The sides were delish!!! They also were very kind in offering us a comp dessert for our anniversary which we got to pick. Typically restaurants just bring out whatever dessert they want so I appreciated that we got to choose. We chose a vanilla Carmel cake. It was good but we were also so stuffed! Minus 2 stars - as the end of the night, our server disappeared & when he did reappear, I could never get his attention to get the bill. I flagged someone else down but they just shrugged. It took me putting my jacket on (& 20 extra mins) to get Lawrence's attention. Also, it was close to the end of the night as we were wrapping up - maybe 9:30ish. There were still PLENTY of guests eating dinner, and the workers started breaking down tables in our section, moving things around, replacing large tables for smaller ones, etc. We're trying to have a nice (expensive!) dinner & workers are cleaning up around us. What a buzz kill. Remember I was the one trying to GET my servers attention - trust me we didn't overstay. Honestly, eh - I wouldn't recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner tonight at this elegant, upscale restaurant set within a…read morehistoric landmark. The space is breathtaking--soaring 38-foot sculpted ceilings and a 34-foot wine tower at the center of the bar create a truly luxurious and unforgettable ambiance. The hospitality is just as impressive as the setting. Every member of the staff was professional and attentive, and the managers checked on us throughout the meal to ensure everything was perfect. Our waitress, Ayoola, was exceptional--warm, personable, and genuinely thoughtful. She made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. We began at the bar with a cocktail called the VIP, which was perfectly balanced--smooth, refreshing, and very easy to enjoy. I didn't even think to take a photo until we were nearly finished--that's always a good sign. The complimentary bread was outstanding--warm, buttery, and perfectly fluffy with a delicate texture. Easily one of the best I've had, and very hard to resist. My husband and I shared three appetizers, two mains, and three sides, and even the sides were generously portioned. It was quite a lot of food, but every dish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. The tuna tartare--with avocado and prawn chips--was incredibly fresh, delicious, and well-seasoned, with a delicate balance that really let the quality of the fish shine. The medium-rare sesame ahi tuna was another standout--perfectly seared, tender, and rich in flavor. It was so good that my husband started digging in before I could even snap a photo. We couldn't even finish all the sides, and by the end, we were completely full and had to skip dessert--but that just gives us a reason to come back. An exceptional dining experience in every way--this is easily a 5-star experience, and one we'll be thinking about long after the meal.

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Del Frisco's in Philadelphia. My mother and I were…read morevisiting from Washington, DC, and stopped by expecting the level of hospitality this restaurant claims to represent. Instead, we were treated in a way that felt humiliating and discriminatory. We were not allowed to sit or even properly discuss seating with the staff. Rather than treating us like paying guests, the situation escalated quickly and security was brought over to confront us. As two Black customers who were simply trying to dine, the entire interaction felt unnecessary and deeply uncomfortable. No one should be made to feel unwelcome or targeted when walking into a restaurant. The way this was handled left us feeling embarrassed and disrespected. Restaurants at this level should prioritize professionalism, respect, and equal treatment for all guests. I hope management seriously reviews how situations like this are handled so other customers don't have to experience the same treatment.

The fish and chips were pretty good too - among the better ones Inhave tried. Cute spot with nice decorations. Would be great for a date or small groups.
