For mains we had the Pork Schnitzel (amazing w the accutremonts - made a pork hater into a pork lover), the Swordfish with Panzanella (great), and the Chicken (while perfectly cooked could be skipped IMO - nothing wrong with it but its just chicken). We had the Brussels and fries on the side as well which were great additions. For dessert we had the Honey Olive Oil Yogurt (insanely good), the Chocolate Cake (very worth the order) and the Banana Sundae (good but our least fav). Service was perfect, our waitress was lovely and super helpful. Ambiance is great as well, its a very cool vibe and can be casual or upscale depending on the night you're trying to have! Cannot wait to come back soon!

My wife and I came here for happy hour and it definitely did not disappoint!…read more The happy hour oysters were only $2 each and SO fresh. We also got the Oysters Rockefeller, which were extremely good too. But lowkey... the star of the show was the chicken sliders!! I completely forgot to take a picture of them, but if you see them on the menu, PLEASE get them. You won't regret it. The fries with the aioli were really good too, they reminded me of those crispy fries you get at the beach, which I loved. The drinks were probably the only thing that didn't wow us. The cocktails were a little too sweet for our liking, but definitely not a dealbreaker. Overall, really nice spot with cool vibes, great oysters, delicious food, and pretty good service. We'd definitely come back, especially for those $2 oysters and chicken sliders!

I enjoy wine and trying variations so it was a no brainer that this would be fitting for my pre-birthday hang out. Upon entering there weren't many other patrons in this small establishment so it felt like our private space for our group of 8 for some time during the Saturday evening. At some point we gave a cocktail a try as well. But this is certainly a nice low key space to connect, socialize, try a flight, cocktail, or pick up a bottle.

I tried…read morea few of their wines and was not a fan, I opted for the sangria instead and had a few- to say the least. I'm not a big drinker but, it was smooth, perfectly sweet and delicious, I was letting go and kept deciding for them to pour me up some more! The cheese board was great! Woke up thinking about it for three days after. If I say nothing else, let me say how I LOVED the beef prosciutto, simply as an option. I don't eat pork and usually the prosciutto option is pork, I have never seen it as beef before and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered two packets. One I ate on its own and one for the cheese board. The place is pretty, there are comfortable chairs and seating arrangements. I sat both on the couch and at the bar. I usually hate bar seating. The bartenders were nice and helpful as well! This place is kinda pricey tho, we weren't expecting to spend as much as we did, but maybe we were also having a little too much fun! Because of this, this spot won't be our weekly spot or a place to frequent often which is disappointing. Was between rating this spot between a 3 and 4, but think it's better rated as 4 star and it's worth a try! There is also a seating area outside across the street that sells food, seemed very lively, but didn't check it out.

What a lovely afternoon spent outside in their garden! Mural City Cellars is a Philly winery that…read morestarted in the owners' garage and expanded into a full-fledged business opening at a space that used to be an auto-body garage in 2024 in the Fishtown neighborhood. They focus on making wines for easy drinking, everyday consumption, using only grapes from small growers within 300 miles of the city. Very much a local/regional endeavor as they also source their other ingredients like charcuterie and cheeses from within a 300 mile radius. Their open garden seating across the street from the winery gives off community garden vibes, there are picnic tables with benches (seating there for around 30-40), a small raised platform for potential performers, space for families with kids to spread out, and a little pavilion with room enough for about 10 people, where some friends had grabbed seats for us. They'd been here numerous times and we all ordered some variety of wine, or in my case beer from the little kiosk in the corner and relaxed under the pavilion for a couple hours. A popcorn pop-up stand was set up for donations to a local cause helping community members to build connections. Being on the warmer side that afternoon, I went with a cold beer instead of wine. My tartbier $8 was a terrific sour flavored with passion fruit and guava, a unique and refreshing combination, you could taste the fruit flavors but it wasn't sweet. Very pleasant atmosphere and I'm very interested in coming back to try their wines! For more info: https://www.muralcitycellars.com

Okay, hear me out and listen to the entire review:…read more TL;DR VERY EXPENSIVE We came here for our anniversary because reviews were wonderful and the menu looked very European i.e. smaller plates with big flavors and delicious cocktails. Our order, pre-meditated was for oysters, octopus, and the 'plateau du marche' aka cheese and meat plate. All sounds good, right? The oysters were WAY too small for $21 (6 in total), the octopus was cut up into small pieces equaling about 1/2 a tentacle but they filled the plate with a few pieces of sausage and potatoes to make it look like the plate was full. It was not. Plus the sauce it comes with was way too acidic. The cheese an meat plate costing $26 has only a few slices of meat, 4 slices of old crusty bread, a few crumbles of cubed cheese, and very very very small pitted olives. Honestly, it was embarrassing. We had to end up ordering their happy hour breads which were fine but after dropping a pretty penny we shouldn't have to order MORE food... As far as the drinks go, I just don't understand the justification in charging $16 for a N/A drink... I ended up sending it back because after one sip on my part and another on my bartender husband's part we both agreed that it was repulsive. And I never send drinks back. Service, lovely and attentive Atmosphere 100% inviting and the view of the fountain made it all magical Drinks WAY too expensive Food WAY too small and incredibly overpriced Flavors - fine but definitely not worth the price tag All in all we went for a few cocktails and something to munch on and left with a $200 bill. No leftovers. A great date night spot if you're looking to drop a dime and a half to impress your mate but honestly, I was extremely disappointed. We left hungry, sober, and confused as to where our money went.

I finally made it to Enswell! It was 11 o'clock on a Tuesday and I hadn't eaten breakfast. I was…read morewalking by and saw Breakfast Sandwich on the menu and thought 'perfect'! The venue is very nice - it's in the Touraine, the historic (1917) apartment building. I was immediately seated, and waited on by a very friendly and gracious server. Enswell was started by the founders of Rival Brothers Coffee - there's a coffee bar featuring the namesake brew. I ordered the Breakfast Sandwich with a side of French Fries. I asked for my egg to be 'cooked through'. The restaurant makes its own English Muffins from a sourdough bread - they are outstanding! The farm eggs were cooked perfectly and the Cooper Sharp Cheese with a little mayo gave the sandwich a savory, rich taste. The French Fries were good - thin, a little crisp on the outside, but tender inside. They made a nice side with the sandwich. Well, I'm sorry I waited so long to try this wonderful little cafe! The Breakfast Sandwich is a must! I'll be anxious to stop back and try another dish!

We were able to share our dishes easily but also no leftovers (a win in my book). If you have a larger group, it's a bit tight for that but make a resy and they can maybe accommodate you in the back portion. If you're in the neighborhood craving pasta, check them out.

We did the tasting menu for $55 a person which is a really good deal considering it consists of two appetizers, three pastas and two desserts, which basically means you're getting an additional pasta (and maybe app) for the $$ you were going to pay anyways. Service was impeccable and I loved that changed out the plates and silverware for every course, especially because some of the sauces were thick.

Huge bar, giant wall of liquor bottles, dim lighting, and a cool old-school vibe. I told the bartender that ordering a beer in a place like this felt like I was insulting him. He laughed and told me not to worry about it. The drink special was called "Naked and Famous," which honestly sounded like the perfect cocktail to order in honor of Jen. But then I spotted a dark beer on the menu that sounded too good to pass up. If you follow me, you know I'm slowly becoming a dark beer guy. I liked it a lot. The sandwich special was a cheesesteak. Sorry, I should've taken a picture of the menu. But I really enjoyed it, and for $18 it came with a mountain of seasoned fries, which feels like a bargain these days. Bomb Shell: the two people working absolutely crushed it. I don't know if they were understaffed or if Monday night got busier than expected, but they were working their tails off the entire time. Even with that, they stayed polite, friendly, helpful, and incredibly accommodating to the guy carrying around a mannequin. Great visit to Sassafras!
