She was responsive and helpful and went above and beyond our expectations. The food at both the cocktail hour and dinner were delicious. Our guests never wanted for a drink. Our guests were well fed and appropriately served through the entire evening. Ella was great and checked in with us often to make sure we did not need anything. Don't let the outside area fool you - the interior is beautiful, unique, and memorable! We added lots of string lights but it's the type of venue that does not need much to impress. The old wood floors and the artistic chandeliers add so much character. We honestly wouldn't have changed anything from the evening and would recommend without hesitation hosting a wedding reception here.

Whether it be for a girlfriend's birthday celebration, a couple's date night, or simply in need of restocking on candle supply, we have loved the process and the service beyond! A newer addition to this location compared to my first time is that they now offer their own branded bottles of wine in addition to BYO. The staff is so down to earth, friendly and informative as they walk you through step by step in order to craft your very own Anthropologie-esque aromas! We had the liberty to truly take our time and did not feel rushed in anyway. You can bring small bites to pick from and they even offered to capture the evening with a Polaroid. We will be back as soon as our wicks run out!

This is a nice club on the river. It's primarily geared to the sailing crowd (duh) but I am not a…read moremember and have only gone for events with other groups as a guest of the club. I've eaten dinner here at least 6 times, almost every time we've had lobster and steak, and it has always been very good. The bar is a great place to hang out with a view of the water and interesting yet understated nautical theme. The club also sports a single trap station and they do a nice job hosting a trap event. I've always found it amusing to shoot trap over the water as commercial airlines are coming up the river on approach to PHL. One obviously can't actually hit them with a shotgun round, they are not that close, but it just seems odd to point a shotgun at a US Airways 757, although for other reasons I've considered it.

Dual location review: Fairmount and Queen Village…read more Philly Art Center has been part of my daughter's life since 4 years old (almost 10 now). I called the Art Center in Fairmount (it was only one location at that point) and spoke to Ms. Jill, explained that my daughter was a new 4 and I was concerned about leaving her. She nicely told me get over it and I would be fine (of course she didn't say that), she reassured me that she would be safe and have fun..after the first class, my daughter was hooked; it doesn't hurt that they get to color on the mirrors in the studio. Throughout the years my daughter has taken numerous classes at the Fairmount and Queen Village Centers, in addition to "Date Night", which you drop your child off for a couple hours and pick them up, I believe around 10pm; they feed them, they go to the gym, and of course do art. Not only are they doing art, the children learn about artists and how and why things are done. I believe the regular classes were about 90 minutes for children. There are general art classes but most of them have a theme or time period that they focus on; one of her favorite classes was pottery. Numerous adult classes and birthday parties are also offered. Recently my daughter started back at the Art Center for drop-in camp. Seeing Ms. Jill for the first time in years was the highlight of our day. While she is the owner, she is fully invested in the children and it shows by how much my daughter loves her! For camp, the campers get creative so it is recommended your child comes in play clothes and sneakers because the do go to the park; before-care and after-care is available. Over the years, due to scheduling conflicts we were unable to attend regularly, but anytime I hear someone talk about their children loving art, I always recommended the Art Center! Ms. Jill and her staff are amazing, now with an addition location in Cherry Hill, NJ! You go girl!!!
