    One of the best valued meals I've had in the city in quite some time. Really fair pricing for the quality Server was great and we didn't have a single bad bite on the night Highly recommend this cozy little spot

    The food is unique and the team there clearly cares about their food. You can tell by how they described each dish, walked us through the menu, and was sincere with their check-ins throughout our meal. Sharing one dish each was just enough to have a full belly Absolutely love the intimacy of this location. It felt cozy/homey and I would absolutely bring anyone to enjoy this restaurant. Only thing I will note is that some of the items were a wee bit salty but not too salty where we weren't able to enjoy our meal.

    Great vibe, nice casual neighborhood spot with friendly service! I recommend grabbing reservations but could find a spot same day on weeknights which is clutch if you live nearby. The food is well prepared and the options are innovative. I really like the variety and amount of food you get for the value. I want to come back since the menu changes often. The appetizers were a huge highlight: the Fregola with sausage was delicious as well as the pierogi with braised beef. Both desert options I tried were impressive as well. It is a great spot to try new things, since all the options seemed very creative and well prepared. Real neighborhood gem!

    You know you've had a stellar experience when you're still thinking about your dinner a week after the fact. Helm was a nice surprise for Esq and me. The menu is truly seasonal and farm-to-table. Helm takes it to a new freshness level. The space is small and intimate. Not stuffy at all. Our server was intimately aware of the menu and shared details of each dish with us. I love a passionate team! The warm welcome we received upon arriving extended throughout our dinner. Our party of 4 essentially ordered the entire menu (as per). The broccoli ravioli was a table favorite, along with the scallops, pork cheddar ragu, and the carrots. The bread and butter were simply heavenly. Even the beets and strawberry dish was enjoyed by the non-beet eaters (2 of the 4 of us). See, beets do not have to taste like dirt! The flavor profiles on all dishes were creative, bold, and palate-pleasing. And do not pass up dessert. I don't care how stuffed you are! Helm is BYOB, which we love. We brought two big (read: fancy) bottles of Brunello, which complemented the entire menu. The menu is rotated out regularly, and we are already looking forward to a return visit!

    So incredibly impressed. For $60 per person, you will be STUFFED. My advice is to go with a group of 4 or 5. There's are 5 choices in each category so with 4 people, we were able to try 12/15 items. We added banana bread as well (unique, yummy, savory). We sat by the kitchen and got to see how happy everyone was (kitchen staff had the playoffs on and they were rooting for the Commanders). Our waitress was excellent and explained every single item on the menu. It will change every time you go (unless you live across the street). Their smoked carrots are life changing and are always on the menu. Bring a nice bottle of whatever and have a blast.

    Someone had recently told us that this was their favorite restaurant in Philadelphia, so we were both excited yet skeptical to try. It has to have a solid following if it's been around (as we learned) for 10 years. In the end, worth the try. Walking in, the place is quaint but packed. Your table will be fairly close to other tables, which was fine. The difficulty becomes seeing the menu. There are two chalkboard menus available to view and after hearing the waitress describe every single item, this option really doesn't do the offerings justice. I wish there were a paper menu describing things (for the sake of not having not having to remember the details verbally) or even an up-to-date online menu (the menu on their website says last update 1/2/2022). We were sat in the very corner so had no visualization of the chalkboard at all and resorted to pics. The deal is cool, $60 for 3 courses. BYOB (we committed the cardinal sin and forgot this= no wine). For apps: we went with the "tomato, beef, Swiss" and "tuna, sesame, peach". The former was surprising. Fried balls of Swiss cheese with brisket pieces strewn about. Actually quite enjoyed the flavoring of this and there was a good amount of brisket for an appetizer sliced into the mixture. The latter was never going to be my favorite as I don't love tuna, but I'll say it was a large portion of it and the peaches were a lovely addition. The thing to enjoy about the menu here is that they're locally sourced and base the menu on what's available, so there is a rotating theme of vegetables/flavorings that you wouldn't expect (like peaches with tuna). We were going to go with simple with bread & butter, but this was out so we opted instead for something I don't know that we've ever turned down-the housemade burrata. This was my favorite of the apps. The toast was perfectly toasted and the cheese itself had a nice tzatziki flavoring I wasn't expecting. For mains: "dourade squid shishito" ( and "steak, English pea, crab". The former we probably only got because we love squid and were pumped about this. However, I was surprised that we actually preferred the main fish, a flaky white fish. This was cooked quite nicely and the flavoring was delightful, especially the skin. I didn't feel like the squid in the end really added anything, actually. And the fingerling potatoes did their best to soak the sauce but maybe met their match in how much sauce there was. The steak was a $6 surcharge. It was cut nicely and at first I felt like the seasoning was nice, but quickly realized it was a very salt-forward steak and therefore not my favorite. Shockingly, our favorite part of the night was the English pea fritter with crab atop that seemed like an afterthought to us when ordering the steak. Lightly fried pea latke-like fritter with a healthy portion of mixed crab- this could have been the main dish and I wouldn't have noticed. We aren't super dessert people, but we went with the corn raspberry (a strange ice cream sandwich situation that was far too sweet but pleasant to look at) and the Gâteau Basque (we weren't totally sure what this was but after trying it and Google imaging it, it seems like this was done fairly nicely). The service was pleasant-again quite an intimate place. Overall, one thing I felt was a common theme was that the plating of the dishes was too saucy. Nothing that came out wow-ed us on presentation alone. When trying the dishes, we liked many of the sauces but, inevitably, things felt a bit drowned out by the sauces and, ultimately, messy on the plate. In the end, we would consider trying as their menu rotates again (albeit not forgetting the wine next time!) to see how they utilize a variety of interesting ingredients to create their menu but also may... not.

    Overall would give a 3.5-4 star review. Food: flavorful and unique, changes. The entire menu is written out on a chalk board with no descriptions, would recommend them explaining each dish. We got the scallops and the mushroom ravioli with lamb for our entrees and was delicious! The desserts left a little something to be desired. It is a BYOB! 55$ for 3 courses. Service: excellent, very attentive and provided good explanations. Constantly checked in to see if we were enjoying the food. Overall I would come back and would recommend this as a cute first date spot, it's intimate and quiet. I would be curious to try the NY strip next time

    I fell in love with the food here after the first bite. First of all, I'm not a fan of American food; however, Helm has changed my mind. This place is just became one of my favorite restaurant in Philly! The best scallops I've ever had, so tender and flavorful. It was just WOW in my mouth! Everything we had was so good. And what I like most about here is their menu, they based on seasonal ingredients. So you get to try different dishes every season. Can't wait to come back and try their next seasonal menu. FYI it's BYOB here, which is a bonus! It's such a cozy, fun vibe inside. Service was very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend this place!

    Everything, and I mean everything we ordered was SPECTACULAR. We had a 5:15pm and were warmly greeted and seated inside this nice and quaint restaurant. The gnocchi and octopus came out first and honestly, when I had that first bite of the octopus it was basically an explosion in my mouth. The octopus is mashed with other ingredients, so you my wonder where is the octopus, but it's def in there. The star of the show to tonight is definitely the scallops. I would recommend this place to everyone and will definitely go here again. FYI: menu constantly changes, which is awesome to keep the curiosity alive of what they're cooking

    The fact that we just got around to visiting to Helm for the first time, is straight up a disservice to our taste buds. If you haven't been yet yourself, make it a priority...like yesterday. From the outside-in, this is a no frills/no thrills type of spot. Very cozy, nestled into the first floor of a townhouse. Furniture and dishware is all mix and matched, and they pack yah in like sardines. Menus? Nah - you are going to catch what they are serving on either of their chalkboards (which are easy to see from any seat in the house.) Also, they had a killer playlist ~ we'd call it something like lo-fi funk..really sets the appropriate mood for dinner. Not sure how to interpret what's on the chalkboard? Not a problem - their servers are well versed on what's getting pushed out of the kitchen, and have no issues giving full descriptions of each dish. Much of it comes from their own experience eating the food (which was really fun to hear what they've enjoyed the most and what's been the long standing menu items), but either way you can tell each of them are passionate about the plates hitting the table. Definite plus - their menu has seasonal rotations and is locally sourced. Not to mention, really accommodating all the way around. We initially had a 7PM reservation and were running late. We called in the day of and they quickly moved it to 7:30! Very nice. We needed to know what dishes could be served vegetarian, and they walked us through so many options! The inside decor has plenty going on - lots of knick-knacks and interesting collectibles. There is an awesome little two top, that's tucked away from the rest of the tables. If you can request that in advance, I would highly recommend. Memorable dishes were: - This might seem super simple, but their bread & butter! Their sour dough is from Mighty Bread, and is fresh, airy, and crunchy. They serve it with a fermented butter too, which brings the flavor to a whole new level. - The brussels appetizer might be one of my favorite bites in the city. Served like a latka, it is fried and crispy, and splayed on top of apple sauce. Crunchy shitake mushrooms sprinkled on top, and each bite is a perfect flavor combination of sweet, savory, salty, and creamy. - Their scallop dish seemed to be well renowned, so I had to get it, and I think you'd be hard pressed to have had scallops like this before. They were served charred/grilled and cut in half, intermingled in this pozole sauce which was like this hearty/earthy broth. It was delicious and one of those plates that you have to swipe with any remaining bread you have left. Low and behold, their desserts were top notch too. They have a cheesecake crumb cake that goes really well with their coffee. Interesting spin on a cheesecake, where the base is actually more of the true crumb cake and then topped with something like a cheesecake icing. Incredible! Their staple dessert is the gateau basque, which rotates in flavor. We had a citrus version of this, and it resembled a pop tart in pie form. Packed with delicious and bright fruit, this was a refreshing way to close out the meal. We left with belly's full and a commitment to sharing our experience with others. If you didn't know, Helm has been on Philly Mags 50 best restaurant list since 2016. The cool thing is, this is the type of place that probably could care less about accolades, but with outstanding food and service, you can easily see why they are so well respected.

    I know, I know, I was here a month ago and I was back last night! There were six of us and I didn't realize that they also offer a family style meal with all of the items on the menu. We decided on the regular 3 courses but I like knowing they offer that as well. Last night I enjoyed a tuna and pork belly appetizer, scallops and cauliflower entree and the cheesecake for dessert. Everything was wonderful! Four of my friends last night never dined here before and they were saying how much they loved it and will be back!

    Went here for a 7 pm reservation for 6 and will most definitely return! What a great BYOB in the city! It was such a homey but upscale ambience, and the place is shockingly large. Our server let us know that for groups of 6 or more, you can try the entire menu for $65 pp. their usual is $60 for the three courses. Wow! We particularly loved their staple on the menu, the carrots with the chèvre basquaise as well as the pork loin with fried Boursin - which was perfectly flavored. A couple of dishes veered a bit too salty for me personally(the steak), but I'm sensitive. Our absolute favorite course was dessert, and our favorite dessert was the cheesecake. Love the fresh rotating menu, the homy feel, and the food overall

We've had almost every dish on their menus so it's hard to go back and reflect on all of them, but definitely start with the pierogies, get your meat of choice, and order the funnel cake for dessert. You can't really go wrong!

    I took my dad and our family here to celebrate his birthday for our first visit to Elwood. I…read morecouldn't believe this restaurant existed and we've walked by it countless times over the years and has no idea ! Honestly - I wanted to love this place, but it didn't hit all the way home for me. What it did hit home for me were the vibes. I loved the interior decor, the small homey vibes , and I could feel the love and passion that went into this place. Small inside, cozy, and I think I only saw a total of 3 staff that ran the place. I really wanted to love them! To be perfectly honest, I'm probably not the best reviewer for this spot. I eat 80% vegan .. and cannot not remember the last time I had beef prior to this meal. However - I didn't find it to be particularly mind blowing. It was cooked to a good temperature , served with salt for you to tailor to your taste and oh I can't forget to mention how much I loved the chefs homemade hot sauce ( which they do sell on site ! ) it was solid , but not something I was personally blown away by for $90 and not something I'd "cheat" on my diet for again to eat. I felt similarly about the striped bass. It was cooked well, but I found it under seasoned. Overall, I don't think it's the spot for me but I DO think it's the spot for many. I definitely recommend you check out this small humble restaurant and give them a shot. It's beautiful and warm inside, and you can feel the love in this establishment Check out Elwood!
