We started with a glass of wine and split a few dishes. We both thought each dish was Devine but the mushroom sliders really stood out. The service was fabulous and the neighborhood is delightful! read more

When you say you can't have cilantro, please - for the love of God - NO CILANTRO! Most of the plates were bland and unremarkable - but they also were riddled with cilantro!!! As a lover of vegan cuisine, you don't need to drown stuff in seasoning to 'compensate' for lack of meat. Let the veggies speak for themselves. They're delicious. Service was excellent. Beer selection lacking in options. Atmosphere lovely. Cilantro? Please stop... Especially when we SPECIFICALLY ask for no cilantro. TL;DR - I don't think I'll return. Plenty of other vegan restaurants in the city that don't 'need' to drown their veggies in spices to make them taste like meat. read more

Very impressed with Fitz. The space is very cute with lots of seating and some outdoor tables when weather cooperates. When we arrived it wasn't very busy but it was loud. Felt like had to yell to talk so can only imagine when place is packed. The food is all vegan and was all very good. Will def be coming back here. read more

Fitz On 4th - Vegan Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The ambiance was great, the service was slow despite it being empty in the restaurant but I was catching up with family so I didn't mind it. I took a star off because the waitress failed to mention a menu item that they did not have prior to me ordering said item. We ended up ordering the mushroom flatbread, fries, spinach artichoke dip, charred broccoli and a salad. Everything except the salad was delightful, the salad lacked something that I can't quite put my finger on. Overall, I would recommend. read more

Unfortunately a pretty forgettable experience - was super excited to try Fitz on 4th because I love supporting vegan restaurants and the menu looked incredible. We were seated on the outdoor patio even though it was getting quite dark and there was very little lighting outside - our server brought over a tiny table light for us instead which was cute. We shared the chorizo empanadas, edamame wontons, arancini, crispy broccoli, and mushroom sliders. The empanadas were nice and crispy but heavily lacking flavor / salt. The wontons were really good! Arancini was okay, not amazing, and the crispy broccoli was a bit too lemony and bitter especially for my husband. The sliders were also fine. I would have tried the gnocchi or one of the mains, but because we weren't super impressed with the small plates, we opted not to try a bigger menu item. Overall, not sure that I would return - Philly has other delicious vegan spots that I'd recommend over Fitz on 4th. read more

PHILADELPHIA, PA: Fitz on 4th is an absolutely delicious vegan tapas and cocktail bar and leashed dogs are allowed at their outdoor seating. We love a restaurant that is not only dog friendly, but also commits to fresh ingredients following sustainable practices. What makes this place even better is that the food is EXCELLENT! The flavors are outstanding and the menu is full of items that anyone can eat. We indulged in spinach artichoke dip and Nonna meatballs, and we love that we can get our favorite things to eat veganized. Libations include a selection that will make it hard to choose because each one looks so good! There is also a wine list, beer, and even mocktails. Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed at their seasonal outdoor seating along the beautiful building with lush greenery and a colorful mural. Doggy water bowls are available, just ask for one. read more

When I say that my life was changed today , I mean it. I never leave reviews for anything, but the food, drinks, and service was absolutely wonderful. Meg, was our server and she was the best and most delightful person. The ambiance is incredible!! Everyone needs to come here! Julia approves. read more

Good food, good vibes, good service, good ambiance. I love this place! We got dishes where my companion (who is an omni) was shocked at how good it was. "I didn't know edamame could taste like that!" (It was the edamame fried dumplings of some sort. Meatballs were massive, topped with a creamy and tart tomato sauce. Crab cakes were so tender and crispy that you could break off bits with just a fork. Spinach and artichoke dip is best done with the sourdough, not the chips. Ask for it and they'll happily substitute for you. Cocktails are mixed by a very friendly and talented bartender. I cannot say enough good things about this place. We ordered 4 tapas to share between two people and were absolutely stuffed by the end. read more

Went here on a Saturday with a group of vegan and non vegan people and got a reservation same day very easily. The aesthetic was old school and so very cool. I love the booth seating option and the assorted table sizes. We ordered almost every single tapas that was on the menu. In addition to that we loved the gnocchi and loved the special which was a creamy lemon garlic cavatelli. The tapas that stood out to us as must haves were the ricotta toast, the chorizo empanadas, and the spinach and artichoke dip. For dessert the bread pudding was amazing, it was served with vanilla ice cream and was out of this world. I also enjoyed their cocktails and my friends loved their beer options! Would definitely recommend and return! read more

Such a great vibe! The space is cozy and beautiful. The food is too. We ordered lots of things; crab cakes, meat balls, empanadas, sour dough, French fries, mushroom sliders, pretzel bites, dessert and so many cocktails! The food was delicious! Truly! Top notch! The service was spectacular! This type of place in Philly is a testament to the wonderfully, creative food scene in this city. If you are vegan, if you are not, come here. read more

This is a generous four star review -- the dishes here that are good are GREAT, but there's simultaneously so much that's lacking. If you order ONE thing, let it be the broccoli. Right now they have crispy broccoli with a tahini sauce served with pomegranate and it's phenomenal. Crispy, savory, sweet and I wouldn't change a thing. On the other hand, the maple glazed brussel sprouts that sounded so enticing fell so short. They completely lacked a maple flavor, were not crispy, and had such an odd spice blend in them. It was to the point where the dish had to be sent back, and the table next to us actually did the same exact thing. Moving on, the edamame wontons are a great idea, but the filling itself was oddly chunky and could have been better put together. The sweet black vinegar reduction served with the wontons was amazing though. The nachos were not good. The vegan cheese sauce was incredibly thin, and barely coated the top layer of tortilla chips. The sour cream was also lacking and the guacamole was a pureed consistency similar to store bought guacamole, it didn't resemble fresh avocado at all. The meatballs were solid, and I enjoyed the focaccia they came with. We finished the night with the crème brûlée which was lovely, but it's definitely coconut milk/cream based - so beware if you aren't a fan of that. Overall, the vibe in here is cozy and it would make a great date spot. There were standout dishes that I'd come back for, but there's equally as much on the menu that I would never want to eat again. I hope they can continue to refine the menu because there is potential here to be such a strong vegan restaurant. read more

Ambience and location are great. I found the food not as worth it; the drinks were overpriced, small portion, and not as good. Meatballs were a little bland, flatbread was very thin and not supported, and overwhelmed with a lot of arugula, arancini was decent but predictable; wontons were basically spring rolls--very crispy and you couldn't really taste the filling..other things were on the bland side. Our group was underwhelmed. read more

The layout, ambiance, service, and menu options are just lovely! I sat at the bar and tried two dishes. Although I love this place and will keep trying more dishes, I have to say, I wasn't impressed by the food! I know I know! Hot take! But I am determined to give it more tries! The beet salad was just too salty! Way over salted! The beets tasted like they were cooked in salted water, but the pesto dressing was salty too so all together it was too much. And I am a person who tends to over salt when cooking! The gnocchi was good, just not that great. I had an interesting after taste in my mouth that was perplexing. Overall, def going back, just not getting these two dishes again. read more

Visited Fitz on 4th with a friend (and fellow Yelper!) after it's been on my list for a bit. I lean more vegetarian, but my friend is strictly veg / verging on vegan, so this was a perfect spot for the 2 of us to go. She easily made reservations for us, and it was a beautiful day where we could sit outside. I didn't even explore the inside of the restaurant, although from a glance, it looked spacious and modern. I enjoyed the outdoor table, which leant itself to not only enjoying the weather but also to great people watching! Service was solid - I did not feel like our waitress rushed us all, and she helped us make some decisions. We started off with some cocktails, which were quite unique and fun - making it hard to nail down just one! I ultimately went for the Fig Old Fashioned since I'm a sucker for figs and bourbon. It wasn't overpowering with the fig flavor and barely sweet at all, making it a delectable (and strong!) cocktail. My friend opted for a more fruity cocktail, which was up her alley and came with high praise! I appreciated their variety of cocktails as well as mocktails and an extensive wine list, truly making something available for everyone. For food, as mentioned, the food is all vegan, making this an easy spot to visit with friends supporting various diets. There are a number of tapas as well as a few larger plates on the menu. Items change based on the seasons and the freshest offerings, which is always a nice touch. We stuck to the tapas menu, ordering a variety of dishes including the broccoli, edamame wontons, and tacos. All items were delicious, but my standouts were the broccoli and wontons - both which had excellent flavor. I was blown away at how much Fitz on 4th could do with a fully vegan menu - they pushed the limits in a way that just worked! Even though we didn't get all the menu items, I was shocked at items like beer cheese & pretzel, crab cakes, meatballs, and mac & cheese which were fully vegan! The prices were fair for the quality and quantity of food and drinks, so nothing to be shocked at. I would highly recommend Fitz on 4th to really anyone in the Queen Village area, but especially those with a vegetarian / vegan preference. I would certainly return back to try more menu items and continue to be impressed with what they can do with "just veggies"! read more

Whoa! Great FOOD! I love this place. I visit regularly from San Diego and lucked out finding this place. Great style food and people. Such an amazing evening. Stoked! Thank you! read more

I ate here last night with a friend, and we did the prefix three course meal, which was incredibly affordable all things considered these days. The food was absolutely delightful, and the servings were generous. I started with the Delicata squash, followed by the sticky meatballs, and for my main course I had the gnocchi. I had to bring home the rest of my gnocchi and just had it for lunch and was blown away all over again at how flavorful and perfectly seasoned/textured every bite was. I am gluten-free, and newly vegetarian, so it was extremely wonderful to find such a creative culinary experience with so many options for me to choose from. Compliments to the chef, and also to the bartenders who were just lovely. I wish I took pictures, but I was too invested in licking the plate clean. Highly recommend, looking forward to returning. read more

Food 4.5 Taste/ Originality. 3 Portion size. Calling dry rice "Risotto" was a stretch and the portion was ridiculously small for $24. Very flavorful appointed vegan food. Not regular food made vegan! Service 3.5 Recommend servers explain spice/ heat level. Walked in 3 min before opening and greeted rudely! Desserts: Creme Brûlée disappointing. Brownie rich and chocolatey. Best Tapa Delicata squash and Broccoli Best Entree: Crab cakes and whole asian eggplant (hot) read more

Amazing food. Amazing service. Olivia was fantastic. Not from the area but would come back just to eat here.

Just returned from a delightful dinner with three companions. Yes, it is on the expensive side but every once in a while, if you're lucky, you get what you pay for. They have a large variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks; we had some of each and they were all very good. It's a small plates experience but the plates are quit generous. Yes it's vegan, but take a friend to show them what's possible in that realm. We sat outside, everything was delightful, including desert and the staff. It's a happy place. read more

I love the vibe of this spot--from the rich teal exterior to the pops of color and texture inside to the music. The wall of pet portraits added extra charm. Service was prompt and attentive. In my two visits here, some dishes have been better than others. The crab cakes and accompanying corn relish were consistently delicious. The meatballs were good and filling, and really matched the look and texture of meat; the chickpea taste threw me off a bit. The empanadas were bland, and the two accompanying sauces didn't change that. Though there were a few misses food-wise, I would visit again. read more

I walked past this place when I was in Queen Village and had to pop in. It has such a cute athletic with plants everywhere. The staff is super friendly and chill. They had a lot of great drinks on their menu and plenty of mocktails to choose from. Masons garden was the best drink I've head in a while. Very fresh, light and refreshing with huge cucumbers notes! The lavender lemonade was also delicious and fresh! The food menu was extensive and I couldn't believe that everything was vegan! There were so many great options to choose from! Can't wait to come back for more cocktails and dig into the food! read more

Last night I dined at Fitz on 4th. It was not the first (or second) time I was there. While most of the food was rather good (the Beet Salad had no personality) but the shock came with the check. There weree TWO supplemental charges on the bill -- 3% of the total pretax amount for "Kitchen Service" and a fee for using a credit card to pay for the bill. I purposely calculate my gratuity to include not only the wait staff but also the bar tenders and food prepfolks, presuming that the gratuities are pooled and shared as in most good restaurants. Throwing on 3% that is buried in the check is not acceptable to me. Then, a convenience fee for a credit card payment. Maybe at Burger King but ,,, there??? I'd guess that many more than 1/2 of their patrons use a credit card to pay the check I did speak to the manager, mentioning that I felt they were "nickle and diming" their patrons. He said that both "add ons" were noted on the menu. Perhaps they are. I did not see them but also did not study the menu carefully for "gotchas". Suffice it to say ... my last visit to Fitz. There are plenty of other options for good vegetarian cuisine. read more

As a predominantly plant-forward eater, I am always looking for restaurants that can put together a solid veggie dish, so I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, it just fell a bit short for us. The restaurant itself is adorable, with a sort of speakeasy vibe --- lots of windows with blue/bronze/brick decor. We were seated quickly and given an orientation to the menu by our waiter. They were featuring a prix fixe Vegan Restaurant Week menu that offered a lot of their best sellers for a very affordable $35pp, so we opted into that. Service was very fast, and the whole meal took us about an hour with the speed at which our dishes came out. Some highlights: --- The Pumpkin Harvest Cocktail with bourbon, pumpkin butter, and maple was a perfect fall drink. --- The Charred Taos Eggplant was perfect cooked with a flavorful sauce with just enough of a kick. --- We got the baklava and bread pudding as our two dessert options, and both were excellent. Meh: --- The mushroom sliders featured perfectly fried mushroom that was bland on its own. When you were able to get a bite or two with ALL of the associated toppings, it was actually pretty good, but there just wasn't enough of the sauce to save it. --- The edamame wontons were just okay --- the accompanying sauce was good, but the inside was dry and could have used a bit of flavor. Some disappointments: --- I normally love a good brussels sprouts dish, but theirs were overseasoned with a spice mix that I really didn't like. My husband thought they were fine, though, and finished my portion. --- The butternut squash gnocchi was not gnocchi made of butternut squash as we'd hoped and was instead regular potato gnocchi served WITH butternut squash that wasn't particularly flavorful and was kind of dry. If we lived in Philly, I'd probably give this place a second chance, but since we're usually commuting in from Wilmington for an occasional date night, I don't think this one will make our usual rotation. One fair warning: parking was quite a challenge on our Friday evening --- it's all street parking, and we definitely had to circle around and try a few side streets before we were successful. Make sure you leave adequate time! read more

So delicious! My sweet nephew recommended we dine here with him when in town. He said even as a non vegan he really had a good time here. Everything is vegan. Meatballs were incredible. Eggplant flavors were intense in a good way. Risotto was flavorful & rich. Edemame wontons didn't hit for me. Filling wasn't very puréed & they were deep fried. But we split everything so I went heavier on the meatballs & eggplant. Drinks were great. There was a lack of dessert offerings, which was a little bit disappointing. They were out of a couple of things, and the only options were bread pudding, a crème brûlée that other diners mentioned wasn't worth it and ice cream. Would love to see some sort of pie or other pastry or a carrot cake - there are other vegan bakeries in the area so I'm not sure why the restaurant doesn't just work with them to subcontract more desserts . Otherwise phenomenal! read more

Stopped in for a casual bite to eat and we chose three small plates that were amazing, cocktails were wonderful and even though they had the game on it was a quiet space to watch it. Bartender was wonderful and knowledgeable of the menu and we never missed any animal protein at all! read more

I am sure I'm in the minority with this review. The place is super cute with the best staff. Helpful, efficient. Open space with outdoor seating and very inventive drinks. Ok I got a margarita that was weak. Next round I just ordered straight liquor on ice ($2 charge for ice). My fiancée got the espresso martini and it was great. Other friend got orange creamsicles and it was delicious, I forget the other... so I was the sad one. We started with the zucchini fritters and they should've been fried longer. Zucchini can be wet, but a little squeeze of the cheese cloth goes a long way. The jackfruit bbq sandwich was under seasoned. I rarely ask for s&p but needed too and it still lacked flavor depth even though covered in sauce. Either season the jackfruit or better sauce would be ideal. The potatoes were just ok. I ended up eating them (wish fried harder) than the bland sandwich. Fiancée had the mushroom pasta. Heavy garlic but truly no real depth of flavor... again. There are so so many things we do at home with mushrooms that push the flavor to the top. This didn't hit. Our other friends seemed to enjoy their meal but did note it wasn't so amazing. I just wish it was better. Everyone else loves it but for me... I won't return. Again staff so helpful attentive and pleasant. Cute space! read more

This review is based upon the service rather than the food. It was my girlfriend's birthday and she is vegan so we were excited to celebrate at this restaurant. We arrived at 6:20 and there were open tables. Nevertheless, an employee with a condescending attitude reflecting an elitism approached my partner and told her they were busy and not sitting anymore people. This is a poor approach for a business when your potential patrons arrive early in the evening and there are plenty of seats. The food might be excellent but we will never know. A disappointing beginning to what was supposed to be a celebratory meal. Again, it was only 6:20 and there were multiple open tables. read more

Went here on a busy Friday night for date night. We were expecting good service considering the prices. We grabbed a seat at the bar and didn't get the bartenders attention for a good while. Even then, she wasn't pleasant, and I smiled when our food on the table. It was a bit disappointing. Food was enjoyable but I don't remember being wowed because I was disappointed with the pricing and service. It's unlikely I'd return. read more

Very quick service - to the point where it was a bit scary. We order and within 5 minutes all the food was out. We skipped drinks - pricy but looked good. Enjoyed the decor. Top dishes were the eggplant , the mushrooms sliders and the crab cakes Strongly disliked the dry edamame dumplings. Meatballs were ok but the star of the dish was the focaccia read more

The food was very good - the place is lovely - but these added charges are absurd - a 3 percent kitchen appreciation addition and 3 percent credit card charge - in addition to of course 20 percent tip 120 dollars for a light lunch - no alcohol included in this price. It is just too much money for what it is. read more

Enjoyed a lovely sunny Saturday lunch here today with my mother in law. The place was very quiet and filled with plants. Plenty of tables; my reservation wasn't needed. We aren't vegan but don't mind eating that way. I enjoyed a special flatbread with vegan ricotta and ramps, and my MIL order the Caesar salad with the "crab cake." Both tasted great and felt very healthy. The service was kind and informative, if a bit pushy. We felt that the recommendation to order 2-3 plates per person would've been totally over the top given the sizable portions, and the beverages are aggressively priced at $9 each for a non-alcoholic drink. But if you've got the funds, this is a great spot to fuel before some Saturday shopping or a haircut at the nearby organic salon, Juju. read more
