This restaurant boasts fine dining vibes. Nice decor, managers in suits, pleasant hostess with friendly smiles. We opted to sit outside to bask in the summer evening of sunny Philly. I would have preferred to sit at a regular table but our small party of 3 could not be accommodated. We made the table tops work and had a few dishes to try. should say that I thought it was puzzling why our waters came in plastic cups but all other drinks in glass. I wonder. The food is decent nothing to rave about. We enjoyed the shrimp scampi the most. The service can be improved. Our server had a few tables and could not keep up with checking in. I suppose if you are visiting like we are, the ambience is a big draw. read more

"fine dining" yet they brought me an $8 corona beer in an aluminum CAN served with a PLASTIC cup. the dinner rolls cost extra and they say they are house made but i strongly suspect they are kings Hawaiian rolls which are very cheap yet the bill reflects they were TWELVE DOLLARS for four tiny rolls. i had the braised short rib and it left me wondering if the kitchen had run out of salt because it was utterly flavorless. additionally the class of clientele was surprisingly low. people smoking weed at the table on the deck top seating and a family of maybe 20 people were unapologetically sitting allover the staircase and refused to move so my wife and i had to barge past them and they acted like we were somehow interrupting their normal behavior. they need to enforce a dress code if they want to improve the quality of their clientele. the ambiance was lovely however the classless clientele and severely overpriced food made it an easy decision to not return. to the management: fine dining doesn't serve canned beer with plastic cups, that really blew my mind, that and the kings Hawaiian dinner rolls at $12 is completely insane. read more

I have to say, service was absolutely phenomenal! We went to celebrate my mother's birthday and our server was extremely attentive and made our night amazing! The star of the show was the prime rib, it was so juicy and flavorful! Everything was overall pretty good, the fish was delicious, not dry at all, and the lobster roll was a generous portion. I would probably skip the cannelloni as it was a tad bit salty and not too memorable, but overall decent dishes! We loved the mocktail: Midsummer Night's Dream, it reminded me of a mango sago as it was creamy and had a pleasant mango flavor! For a special event I would definitely recommend coming here, perhaps in the summer when the deck area is open, I'm sure the view is nice! :) read more

We went for our wedding cake tasting and dinner and the staff was so kind. They were kind to everyone, not just us too which was really lovely to see. Every ounce of everything we got was amazing. I was particularly pleased with the crusted tuna, it was not dry at all and perfectly seasoned. The shrimp scampi was also a nice delicious surprise! The restaurant is calm but classy and not boring or dusty and outdated. I'd actually recommend this to anyone for a nice dinner out read more

We made a reservation here to get out of the rush hour traffic on our way home from the airport. This proved to be a good call. After a cocktail ( Hugo spritz) at one of the rooftop bars we settled into a waterside table in Moshulu's elegant dining room. They have a vegetarian menu as well as their regular menu which was a nice surprise for me. We wound up going with seafood ( cannelloni and lobster roll) with sides of Parker house rolls ( I can never pass these up) and creamed spinach. The food was good and the server, though new, was solid. read more

You go here for the wait staff and atmosphere. We went last night and much of the food was oversalted and overpriced. The creme brulee was burnt and cheesecake was dry. "Prime" 14 oz NY strip was about 6 oz of edible meat while the rest was tough and gristly. But dining on a boat was cool i guess that was worth $870 for 9 people... read more

We were thinking of throwing a party at the Moshulu but we had never been there so we came on a Sunday morning to do a taste test - we had absolutely no notes. From the stunning decor to the amazing staff - everything was amazing!! The menu was very eclectic and everything tasted DELICIOUS! Literally no notes. I would definitely recommend coming here for brunch, dinner, or a party. It was such an amazing experience. I cant wait to go again! read more

Had a lovely experience at Moshulu. Stepping on the boat was breathtaking. I loved the views from our table. Our serve was kind and knowledgeable. Caesar salad with anchovies was well dressed and wonderfully salty. Shrimp scampi skillet had the most amazing sauce I wish we had more bread to enjoy it with! Macaroni and cheese had the best cheese pull. Portions were wonderful. We also had the lemon sorbet which was delightful. Was pricey, but a worthwhile experience! read more

Such a beautiful dining experience! I was super excited for this dining experience on my trip to Philadelphia. Come aboard the Moshulu ship where you will have views of the Delaware River while you enjoy an assortment of fresh seafood. I was celebrating my anniversary and the little touch when we checked in of mentioning it and a cute note at the table, while small, makes all the difference. The food was absolutely delicious and the crab pasta special sounded so good, however, we wanted to order a bunch of dishes to taste and they kindly offered to prepare it as an appetizer portion for me. The ship dining experience changes at 10 to a bar/club scene. While I didn't stay to enjoy that, it seems like a very cool experience if it's something you're interested in. I definitely recommend you make this a stop when you visit!! NOTE: make reservations in advance they do get busy! read more

We did the NYE VIP reservation, which sounded amazing, but for a place that has done this in the past, the front of house was a nightmare. We had an 8pm reservation and showed up at 805, to find about 30 other parties also waiting for the same reservations.....the front desk just said, we are working through, but to go to the bar upstairs as it was absolutely packed on the main level with everyone else waiting. We went upstairs and it was closed until 9pm....went back down to inform and was again told to just go to the bar area upstairs, was then told to go hack downstairs lol.....anyways, we got seated at 853pm. The main lobby/checkin area was a packed and while I applaud the effort by food servers to get appetizers out, it was uncomfortably full and unacceptable. Once we got seated, Charles was our server and he was absolutely awesome....he actually kinda saved initial experience/vibes with this event. We got to the buffet and the food was actually pretty good and Charles kept the drinks coming before we eventually moved upstairs to the bar and fireworks viewing area. Music was great and the bar did pretty good at getting drinks out as fast as they could, but they were overwhelmed after 1030pm. No lines for the bathrooms was awesome and the fireworks were great viewing! Overall, id probably skip the VIP and just go GA. Music and top deck were great, just not sure the value was there for VIP. read more

We had many things to try for our table but the most popular item was the needless short rib- cooked to perfection then served with a fantastic au jus. We had a great time savoring the seasonal drinks (the banana old fashion!!) A perfect taste of banana at the end. The kids were involved in a lot of family parties and it was a bit loud, but the manager checks to see if all is well. Our server, John, was great as he kept the drinks flowing and offered some fantastic drinks. read more

Dining on the deck of Moshulu is a sensory experience sunlight glinting off the water, elegant ambiance, and a parade of bold flavors that hit every note. We started with the shrimp cocktail, fresh and delicately seasoned, perfectly paired with a zesty cocktail sauce and lemon wrapped in mesh for an upscale touch. The meatballs were rich and tender, swimming in a hearty tomato sauce with a sprinkle of shaved cheese and grilled bread on the side. The tuna crispy rice was a standout, crispy, spicy, and full of texture. I had the caesar salad with grilled shrimp which was good. The lobster mac and cheese delivered indulgence with every bite. The salmon entrée was nicely cooked with crispy skin, layered over a flavorful rice pilaf, carrot purée, and fresh veggies. The only miss of the evening was the cocktails. While advertised as part of a new seasonal menu, they leaned surprisingly wintery with spice-heavy and not quite the refreshing vibe we expected for a spring/summer launch. Still, the service was attentive, the presentation stunning, and the food mostly exceptional. We'll definitely be back, just hoping for cocktails that match the season next time. read more

We came for our 1yr wedding anniversary and it was so intimate. Our service was great and we got a dessert saying "happy anniversary" so sweet!!! The food portion to prize ratio is spot on. I got the chicken dish, expecting a small amount, but I had two huge chicken thighs on asparagus, bean curd (I think), mushrooms and a side of gravy! It was pretty good! My husband had the coconut rice dish, pretty much all the rolls, and we split a side of truffle fries! Everything was good and filling! I wasn't a big fan of the rolls bc I wasn't expecting how salty the salty honey butter rolls were (in the name, I know lol). But my husband loved them! Definitely recommend for a special occasion since it's pricey. But the view on the top deck was worthwhile. Definitely picture perfect areas up there. read more

Service was great! Friendly greeting by the hostess Jordan F was my server and was extremely knowledgeable. Parker house rolls with salted honey butter was a bit too sweet for my liking so they accommodated my request for regular butter. Clam chowder was great Gazpacho was refreshing Crabcake was full of crab Halibut was nice and flaky ! My favorite from Jordan's recommendation was the creme cheesecake. Great texture and light in the sweetness Management continued to table touch along with Jordan which gave every opportunity to address any concerns. No picture, ate them all. Also great view of the water and cool concept ! read more

I wanted to love it, I REALLY WANTED TO LOVE IT!!! But I didn't, HAHA. Date night at the Moshulu, ooh la la! We were blessed to have gift cards, because boy is this place not worth it. I will say- the boat is gorgeous! They did a great job with the interior, but unfortunately the look of the restaurant is not enough earn brownie points on the food. We started with cocktails, which were decent. I went with a simple Pear Bellini and hubby got the Fall Down, GO BOOM! As for appetizers we felt obligated to try the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice as its like the one thing we always try, if available. To me, this was a try hard crispy rice...there was an unsettling smokiness to it and there was something too hot (temp wise) about this dish that didn't scream crispy rice to me. It might have just been how fresh out of the fryer the rice was, but I didn't enjoy it (personally). Additionally, we got the Crispy Duroc Pork Belly, which was good! Jerk spiced pork belly over brussels sprouts with a honey crisp apple sauce of sorts. The fattiness of the pork belly was slightly off-putting (if you're not into eating the fatty parts). I was conflicted on what entree to order as the options are....interesting, I think is the best way to put it. A lobster pot pie?! I mean you don't see that too frequently. I ended up going with the Alaskan Halibut Picatta and J went with the Surf and Turf which is served with short rib and sword fish -see, not your run of the mill surf and turf! The picatta was fine- it tasted like picatta, sub fish. As I keep telling J...I didn't leave dreaming about it. It was....OK, at best. J also didn't leave wanting to run back for his entree, either. He felt it was lacking seasoning (his usual critique). The best part of his dish was the Potato au Gratin...which I kept stealing from his plate (hehehe!) Even though both plates came with a potato, I was still intrigued by the truffle fries. Not sure why....nothing special, and the chipotle mayo totally ruins them. We decided to splurge and get dessert because GIFT CARDS! We chose to try the chocolate cheesecake which came with decadent wine cherries...is it bad that we liked the cherries more than the cheesecake?! By the time the check arrived, we had already determined that we wished went elsewhere...and then we looked at the check and regretted ever coming in the first place! The price to lackluster food ratio is not balanced, in the slightest. I sadly can't believe I'm admitting that I have to come back here for a girls brunch...I'm hoping that since it's brunch, there will be a redeeming option that will make up for my first experience here! Stay tuned for an update soon! read more

Listen! The experience of the Moshulu was fantastic. The weather was cool and clear. You walked to the boat full of excitement. We were able to eat outside beautiful view. The cocktail were good but the experience was the best. The food was ok. My crab dip could have been my main meal. The salmon was a bit on the dry side. The lobster mac and cheese we would pass on that next time. There was a couple there that must have had some issues. They were move close to us and received complimentary wine and appetizer. However we had a hard time connecting with our server. She was nice but not very focused on us. The hostess was great. I'd return to Moshulu for the experience. read more

What a beautiful concept. The views were immaculate. The restaurant was squeaky clean and the service was excellent. Our bartender had the gift of gab and she was quite personable. However, shout out to the hostess, Aaliyah, who, upon my arrival asked to put my scooter in another room out of the way. I loved that because I scoot to work and this was an after work event and sometimes I stress about where I'm going to park it. She eliminated that stress IMMEDIATELY. Love it. Now we went for a networking event so we just had small bites but I am very interested in coming back for brunch! read more

Went to Moshulu for the first time for my anniversary dinner. We had a reservation but did have a to wait a few minutes to be seated on the upstairs deck, which was expected as the deck was a first come first serve basis, and invited to sit in the cute bar to wait. The food was very good, fish and oysters tasted fresh and prepared well;and clearly our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. (Made some great leftovers) And a nice drink menu with good wine options and a variation in different types, as well as a handful of liquors for cocktails. My only "gripe" would be that for as expensive of a place, we did feel a bit rushed to order and wrap up our meal. We were asked if we needed more time with the menu immediately after being sat and served waters, and again when we put in our appetizers 3 minutes later. Halfway through eating our entrees, we were asked if we wanted any boxes. It was still pretty early in the evening and were one of maybe five other tables up there, so we were a bit disappointed to feel like we were taking up a seat and ended up only spending about 45 minutes from arrival to paying our bill. Despite this, I will say our waitress was very kind and attentive, we were able to order two rounds of drinks very quickly and never felt like we needed to wait for her to return to the table. Overall good experience, kind staff and good food. But did feel a tad rushed even after saying we were celebrating. Either way, I would still recommend! read more

It is a pretty good restaurant. The ambience is fantastic. Being able to sit on a boat, eating delicious food, listenting to steel drums, and look out at the water front is quite the experience. Wonderful really. The food was amazing, so so good. But, it is pricey. You donlt get a lot for the price you pay. You do spend more on the experience than the actual food. It is a fantastic place to go if you are trying to show off though. There is a decent amount of parking. It's not free though. Quite the opposite, unless you find someplace free to park, the parking lot closest to the establishment is $20 to enter. The staff were lovely. Everyone was kind attentive, and friendly. Other than the price, the only downside is it isn't really dietary restriction friendly. I found there to be only one thing on the menu I could eat. If you are a strict vegan, it probably isn't the place for you. read more

Is it Covid that downgraded the quality of their food and services? Or was lunch vs dinner makes such a difference. First time I was here was pre-Covid during my 1st pregnancy. I was here for lunch and enjoyed the food and the service. Last month I came back with a group of friends for their birthdays dinner and everyone agreed that their food and service just went downhill. For the price we paid, I believe it should have been much better. First, our whole table only has 1 correct menu. They did some editing on the menu, particularly on the drinks section, and a number of us tried to order drinks from the old menu! Food was not so great. We were complaining our food was a bit too salty and weren't even able to finish our entree. The appetizer was probably the only dish we felt not bad. The server we had was quite busy. I know it's dinner time and she is running multiple tables, but it literally took us 20mins of wait time before we can even place our orders. Not to mention we made reservation and didn't get to be seated until 15mins later, when they said it would only take 5mins. During the meal, it was hard to reach for our server and when we ask for something, it was another 10mins wait before the server comes back. Bottom line, maybe it's either a hit or miss experience here. Our party of 11 all concluded with a negative feedback for this dinner. read more

Great place for lunch / brunch especially in the warm weather months due to being able to sit outside on the deck. Server was friendly, informative and polite. Drinks were delicious! The turkey BLT was lacking in bacon. Only one slice but the turkey did have a great flavor. The fries were cold. The sticky rice and spicy tuna was amazing. read more

Came for a first-time experience of dining on a docked ship--an undeniably beautiful and elegant atmosphere. The decor is elegant with nice attention to detail, so that it feels special occasion-like. Unfortunately, the service was slow, and the food wasn't impressive. The burger tasted good, but lost all its flavors after one bite, although the truffle fries were excellent. The meal at $26 was disappointing and did not warrant the cost. Wouldn't go back--nice vibe, but poor value read more

We were some of the first people there this evening. The setting was amazing. We were treated well at first and then the service disappeared We waited 20 minutes for the salad course no bread was offered and when we ordered the bread was a $20 add-on after the salad course we had another 20 minute wait with no acknowledgment by the waitress. When the main course finally came, the waitress disappeared we thought permanently, but she did appear to bring the check although we had to wait 10 minutes after providing our credit cards to receive the processed payments back from the bottom line. wonderful ambience great food, but the Service wouldn't bring me back again. read more

Fabulous view of the Delaware from our table. Cocktail of choice was the Saturday in the Park which was very refreshing. As an appetizer we had the shrimp dip with pita, what a great starter. But the best was the Lobster Pot Pie! It was as filled with delicious vegetables perfectly cooked along with the lobster of course. My favorite was the mushrooms. The pastry was crisp with herbs baked in. Our server was amazing! He helped with selections and was very efficient as well as personable! read more

My experience at Moshulu on the 4th of July was lacking the spark (pun intended). I might give them another try and dine inside the boat on another occasion, but the jury is still out. I had a reservation for 8:45pm, and I was not seated until 30 minutes later. By the time I was seated, I was not in the mood for a lot of food, so I got a caesar salad, which was just basic and quite expensive by the time I added a protein option. I was expecting fancy boat vibes but was served wine in plastic cups and just overall underwhelmed with the experience out on the deck. Not to mention, it was sooo hot-- I had come from another outdoor restaurant prior and it did not feel like that at all. To top it off, I was fully expecting to see the 4th of July fireworks from the boat, but the city of Philadelphia did not do fireworks at the water this year. What a shame. read more

gorgeous one-of-a-kind restaurant perfect for a special occasion! moshulu is truly a beautiful experience, you are definitely paying for the vibe. the ambience is very high end, the view of the river is spectacular, and service is amazing. it's truly a beautiful and well-decorated restaurant, and the fact that it's on a boat makes it such a unique experience. the food is good, but nothing special. we ordered the calabrian meatballs and the spicy tuna crispy rice as our appetizers. they tasted how i expected, though the spicy tuna crispy rice had too much rice and too little tuna. for our main, we shared the jumbo lump crab cake which was surprisingly tasty. our server said it's been on their menu for 20+ years and was a popular dish. we had the roasted fingerling potatoes as our side which was extremely average. overall, the food was unimpressive. this is definitely a pricy restaurant for the average food, but you are paying for the ambiance and view. definitely more of a special occasion spot. read more

I came here on a first date, and everything about it was absolutely enchanting. Firstly, the ambiance on the boat is classy and upscale. The view of the water was amazing, and just being inside of a boat was exciting in itself. Our server was helpful and answered all of my questions about the menu. Now, let's get into the food. Everything was absolutely delicious. I started off with a crabcake, which was extremely thick and decadent. The ratio of crispy to smooth was perfect, and it sat atop fingerling potatoes and a lobster cream that was delectable. For my entree, I got the lobster, which was cooked to perfection. I truly have no complaints here. I paired the lobster with a red wine that perfectly complemented my meal. My date had a steak and a side of macaroni for his entree. The vibe, food, and service were all A1, and I would love to return! If you're planning a first date, this is how you do it! read more
