So I've been meaning to try this place for a long time. Well luckily we got our chance today. Met…read morewith a Swedish paper mill today and wanted to take them to a nice lunch spot. We chose this because the menu had a nice mix of southern and American favorites that they weren't accustomed to. You should've seen two northern boys trying to describe grits to a Swede. Our waitress was awesome. She was great at explaining things and talking about each dish. Of course there were questions. Some things probably got lost in translation but everyone was happy with their choices. I also feel like servers are always put in an awkward position when you ask them to help you choose. Food is like art. It's so subjective. So for starters we got the fried greet tomatoes and the Burrata. Burrata was not ideal for sharing with people you do not know. It was one large piece of toast. So she actually took it back and someone cut it into 4 sections for us. The fried green tomatoes were awesome. It had a nice tangy sauce with sweeter pickles that came along side. My colleague got the open faced chicken sandwich which was an enormous amount of food. It was two fat chicken pieces on two thick slices of toast. I got the salmon sticky rice bowl with a side of the charred broccoli. Both were so delicious. The salmon had some broccoli in it too. So I really over did it. The charred broccoli side had crusted Parmesan in it and a creamy sauce. Both dishes were just knock outs. Almost forgot I got the love latte too. That was really good. I got it with oat milk. So I highly recommend this place. Great for a business lunch too. Easy to hear one another. Music wasn't too loud. Oh they were very gracious with us. We were 15 minutes late because I wouldn't stop talking in the pre lunch meeting. Yeah I'm that guy. Figures I'd be on Yelp.

The food was awful. I had the short rib Benedict and cheesy hash browns were brick-like and too…read morehard to cut through but still probably the best part of the whole breakfast. The eggs were poached but hard boiled in texture and chalky and gross. Everything seemed like it was taken straight from a bag of frozen food to heat up. Greasy, not flavorful, strictly disappointing. The server was nice enough. The specialty coffees sounded good, but were just overly sweetened, crappy coffee. I had the pecan cinnamon roll latte as a treat but was unpleasantly surprised the "cinnamon roll" garnish seemed like one of those packaged, sticky, ultra-processed school lunch type of treats. If 0 was an option, I would have picked it. I guess 1 star is okay because the server was nice.

I would give this place 5 stars! I am not one to gatekeep delicious food but when the young lady…read more host was acting very odd towards me and my friend it completely set the tone for my experience. It was pouring down and I rushed inside while my friend went to get a parking spot. Two other people left the restaurant and I could hear them complaining. The first thing I noticed was half the resturant was empty while the other half was busy. The host said it would 20-30 min wait. I said no problem, and as I stood in the waiting area. She then said with a rude comment, you have to wait in the rain outside. I had to stand behind a glass door in the pouring rain while I watched the her watch me get soaked outside. Then made sure to tell me she cannot take my number to call me when a table is ready so that eliminates waiting in the car. Came to realize the other two people earlier were being drenched in the rain were also waiting to be seated. I never experienced such terrible accommodations. No apology, umbrella, or accommodations. My friend and I were about to leave until she yelled out the door our table is ready. Then smirked and said company policy. I hope no one else experiences being treated so rudely. Anyway food was delicious. French toast was amazing Drinks delicious ! Bagel with lox a decent portion and good as well. Our waiter was kind and fast.

A nice day out today…read more Was able to get an outside table in about 25 minutes. Brunch early afternoon on a Sunday. Enjoyed the bread basket as always. One of the best. Our party of 3 got the gazpacho, onion soup, and the peach-burrata starters. All were excellent. Perfect for outdoor dining. For mains, we got the blueberry French toast, the burger, and the steak frites. Perfect combinations of mains - we shared a little of the others. All well done (not the meat). Do yourself a favor and grab a bite here and watch all the people and dogs enjoying the weather around Rittenhouse.

The food is delicious, carefully cooked to order and full of love. The dishes are not just your typical breakfast fare but a bit adventurous. I had a pork omelette with rye toast and potatoes. We also got the biscuits and turkey gravy topped off with two iced coffees. Nothing felt heavy not even the pork which was a lechon style slow cooked, tender and oh so yummy. Portions are just enough and the service was well placed, not intrusive and we were offered every condiment we could possibly need. I highly rate and recommend this spot if you're ever in Philly. PS I am not a breakfast fan but I'd have breakfast here any day!

Been wanting to try this popular brunch spot in Philly. Finally got to visit this past Sunday. They…read moredo not take reservations. We arrived at 12:30pm and as expected, the wait was about 40 minutes with 5 parties ahead of us. They will seat you in order of your party size. When the hostess finally sat me and my friend at a table, it was wayyyy too close for comfort to another couple that was sitting next to us. I asked to sit by the bar area instead and they happily obliged. I knew what I wanted because I had plenty of time to survey the menu while we were waiting...scallion cheddar bacon waffle that comes with two sunny side up eggs on top. My decision was also based on a few Yelp pics for this dish. My friend ordered an omelette. Oh boy, the wait for our food took forever. At this point it was close to 1:30pm and I was hungry. What was annoying was seeing 4-5 other patrons that were seated after us get their food first. When our dishes finally came I was not happy, my waffles looked burnt, and there was only one egg instead of two. Honestly, at this point I just ate it. I didn't want to complain and wait. Drink menu is limited and the tea I had was alright. Still glad I got to check this place off my list. The entire staff is super welcoming and friendly but I will not be returning here for the food. Very cute and quaint space with limited indoor and outdoor seating.

There's both kabab and Tadiq or Persian crispy rice for the traditional menu lovers. The rest of the menu is fresh, surprisingly flavorful and priced fairly Service is lacking severely. The host had such a nasty attitude 1/15/26 at 18:40 that I will not return again. I was concerned about her demeanor and I asked her if she was ok; she repeated my question back mockingly and rolled her eyes. The rest of the staff gathered to laugh at her behavior, covering their mouths to whisper at each other while staring at me; I was like dealing with preschool children. I mentioned my table was in eyeshot already seated at the bar and the host boasted that without a reservation I couldn't join a group already seated and waiting on me. I walked around the host; sat myself at the bar informed the table of what happened & we all left promptly. There was a wonderful skinny male host with dreadlocks the week before who seated me and was wonderful. Today's experience was a stark downhill experience from his service last week. Poor & inconsistent service. Great food. Order to to go you don't want to deal with toxic Host/bar staff that will go out of their way to ruin your dining experience. Unless the staff will be corrected; I won't return.

Was craving some brunch and stumbled upon this restaurant instead of going to my usual. It was…read morequite busy but had a very fast turnover as soon as people left. They also fill your classes with water before you sit which was a very nice touch on a hot day. Serving sizes are deceptively large - the omelets/fritata were absolutely stuffed. They smoke their salmon in house which was nice little fact to learn. They are also BYOB so you can bring in a wine/champagne if you want a little breakfast cocktail. They have a mocktail of the day (mine was a hibiscus spritz) if you just wanna spice it up. Only downside was that the ac was broken the day but there wasn't much the restaurant could do about that (obviously) so it's not affecting my rating. Just note it can get stuffy on a hot day if it's down.

I had the crab frittata, and it was spot-on, while the blueberry pancakes were soft, full of flavor, and came out piping hot. The sugary bacon on the side might've been the highlight though--sweet, salty, and impossible to stop eating. Service was friendly and fast without feeling rushed. Would absolutely recommend for a relaxed breakfast or brunch. And no, I didn't take pictures--sorry, I'm one of those people who actually eats their food while it's still warm

Our server Rachel was lovely and gave us a rundown of their specials and the menu's top hits. Our drink selections ranged from as boring as a Diet Coke to as fun as a seasonal lemonade. We were all content with our choices, though we puttered around making suggestions from their large drink menu. I typically go for a savory breakfast, but the stuffed brioche French toast was speaking to me. I can never turn down banana! The rest of our table ordered avocado toast (x2) and fried eggs with bacon. Everyone was really happy with their choices and an added bonus was that our food came out quickly. I insisted everyone at our table try a bite of my massive stuffed brioche French toast and the consensus was that it was ridiculously good. Though this spot is tiny, it is not to be missed.

Luckily, we found street parking right next to the restaurant, which was a nice surprise. When we arrived, the wait for a table of three was about 45 minutes. That's somewhat expected for a popular brunch spot on a weekend. Once seated, the service was prompt. Our waiter stopped by quickly with waters and took good care of us throughout the meal. I ordered the House Angus Burger with sweet potato fries. It was solid, flavorful, and definitely filling. My friend got the Bella Vista Omelet with home fries, and we both agreed that while the food was good, it felt like standard brunch fare rather than anything particularly memorable. Based on the long wait and the hype surrounding Sabrina's, I think we were expecting the food to really stand out. In my opinion, the dishes we tried were comparable to what you'd find at a quality chain brunch spot like First Watch. That's not necessarily a bad thing, the food was satisfying, but it didn't quite justify the lengthy wait. That said, the menu has plenty of more unique and creative options that we didn't try. I'd be open to coming back and ordering one of those specialty dishes next time. Overall, I left satisfied with the meal and service.

Wanted to like this place so badly, but WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES OR DIETARY…read moreRESTRICTIONS!! VERY DANGEROUS! Much better and safer places in walking distance with friendlier service and better food! - when asked about vegan options, the restaurant said they didn't know and asked me to look at the options and they'd verify. It's weird to not have any dietary-friendly options ready, and to not be willing to look into it - asked for a side of PB and only after calling them, they said they had none left (?) and did not offer a replacement - coffee tasted bitter and the beans were over roasted. I also ordered a decaf since I can't have caffeine, and needed to take allergy medication because I realized halfway through that it had caffeine. Oats were cooked (which was great), but was missing the promised toppings from the menu. An iced latte + oats = $33. I also chatted with the manager after this and she said raisins are seasonal (not true lol) so they could remove toppings without telling us, and that it is standard to not receive assistance about what items fit dietary restrictions and to just look at a menu (not true).

Ate dinner here to spend room credits received as part of AMEX The Hotel Collection…read more The happy hour menu looked like a good deal, but we decided to eat during dinner time instead. It was super quiet during dinner time. Only a handful of people were getting a drink at the bar area. I don't think Patchwork is the type of restaurant where non-hotel guests would eat at. I ordered the steak frites and my friend ordered the roast chicken. Our orders took a long time to come (over half hour) which is wild given it was prime dinner time and there were no other dinner guests. When it came out, the dishes were large, but they tasted mediocre. My steak was overcooked and had tough tendon through half of it. My friend's chicken wasn't too dry, but neither of us liked the sauce which was a bit sour. We wouldn't eat here if it wasn't for the credit. Since we had extra credits remaining after the dinner, we spent the remainder on kind bars from their grab and go section. When we checked out, the folio showed an incorrect charge from the kind bars purchase. We even spoke with the Patchwork staff who pulled up our receipts and stuff. The receipts showed the correct amount, but the resulting charge to my folio was double of what we actually purchased. After spending half an hour trying to figure this out, the on-duty manager said that she'll tell the General Manager to process the refund for us, but I never received it. I got in contact with the GM but still pending updates. It's only a $13 problem, but I'm more concerned why their POS would double charge me on my folio versus what the signed purchase receipt says.

Service was a 10/10 We ordered the Peach Mimosa Carafe- 10/10 "The Cure" Skillet is exactly what it sounds like!! French fries, loaded with mac & cheese, and pot roast, topped with melted cheese. ENOUGH FOR 2 ppl to share!!! I didn't know these items went together, but they did!! And the best part, they tasted good individually as well. Silver Dollar Pancakes- 3/10...might be the worst pancakes I've had. There was no flavor at all, not even buttermilk, and there was something off about the texture I just couldn't put my finger on. The syrup didn't help it. I'm not sure if the batter got mixed up with a different one, but these were not good! The generous 3 is simply for the presentation.
