    Complimentary Bread
    Jon H.

    I had very mixed feelings about our experience. This was my first time at Panorama, but my wife's family has been dining here for years. We had reservations for 7 at 7pm on a Saturday night but arrived early for a drink at the bar. The first thing you notice upon walking in are all the wines on tap behind the bar, over 120 different wines. It's mesmerizing. I've never seen anything like it. I was expecting the bar to be busy, but there were many seats open throughout the entire night. We started with multiple Black Manuka Manhattans, an Elderflower Spritz, and some wine. I'm not much of a wine drinker but this is definitely the place to be if you're a wine enthusiast. I thought the Black Manuka Manhattan was good and unique, but the honey cut much of the bite of the bourbon. They were displayed beautifully but there was honey all over the glasses which left our hands extremely sticky each time we picked up our glasses. My wife loved her Elderflower Spritz, another drink that was presented picture perfectly. I switched over to a Hendrix martini with dinner as their vodka selection was very slim. With all that being said I felt the cocktails and wines were a little pricey. We were seated in the bar area (I was hoping to be in a dining area outside of the bar) but the atmosphere was cozy with ambient lighting nonetheless. It took a long time to be greeted by our server and once we placed our drink orders it took even longer for our server to come back with our drinks. We ordered a couple of appetizers to split. The Fried Calamari was great. Tender and lightly fried with a batter that was seasoned fantastically. It didn't even need the marinara it was served with. The entrees came out very quickly. Many of us ordered the braciole, which I thought was the highlight of the entire night. It was served over a bed of the softest little pillowy ricotta gnocchi. The skirt steak was incredibly tender and the gravy was rich and bold. The food at Panorama was impressive, especially the braciole and gnocchi. The service on the other hand seemed lackluster. Staff seemed to disappear for long periods of time. It was difficult getting grated cheese for our dinners and refills for our drinks. Some of the staff seemed like they were annoyed (maybe they were having a rough day which is understandable - but I almost felt like we were a bother as soon as we arrived). As much as I loved the braciole served at Panorama and as little as I see it on restaurant menus around me, that isn't enough to make me rush back to dine here again anytime soon. Another interesting side-note here is that Panorama adds 20% gratuity on parties of 5 or more. Typically you'll see gratuity added on parties of 6 (or 8) or more.

    My friends and I came for restaurant week. If you come here, they only had the restaurant week menu, which I'm not sure how different it is from their main but keep that in mind. Our server was Dylan and he was very attentive and gave us really good service. The restaurant is dimly lit but was pretty busy so there was a nice dinner vibe. The espresso martini was really good and normally it's a hit or miss at some places so I'm glad I liked it. For my food I got the braciola which was soft and tender on top of gnocchi. I personally really like it I was just full from the lobster bisque and bread I had right before. My one complaint is that the tiramisu is not a traditional tiramisu. It's a scoop of ice cream on top of a cake layer with espresso on top which didn't taste bad, I just wish it was more traditional otherwise I would definitely come back.

    Second time coming here during restaurant week and sadly disappointed in our service. We had a late reservation and it was relatively busy at the time. Waiter wasn't very helpful in answering questions about gluten free options and said "I think this is" but wouldn't confirm. Although the food was great the waiter was very inattentive, we had to ask the bar multiple times to fill a water pitcher for us after asking the waiter for more water that we never received. Hot apps for 4/6 of our party came out before 2 of our parties salads, which only came out after being asked where they were. The waiter continued setting up other tables for the next night (since we were basically one of the last reservations) and completely ignored empty drinks and water glasses. Menu stated tip was included for parties 5 or more which it was not. We asked the manager if it was to confirm before adding and he said no which we then addressed our issues with. The manager brought over in house made limoncello to make up for the service and we were very appreciative but overall just disappointed by the night. We are a group that frequents restaurants and not ones to shy away from spending money on a great meal.

    Beautiful and intimate restaurant with dim lights. My friends and I were very excited to dine here for restaurant week since we've heard great things about this place. Beautiful restaurant, great service and good food. I'm not giving 5 stars because none of the food blew us away. I'd come back here, but I wouldn't reorder any of the same food. It was good but not great or memorable. We ordered: Pear salad (app) Chicken (entree) Rigatoni (entree) Tiramisu (dessert) Torta (dessert) The rigatoni was delicious and the best thing we tasted. My friend thinks it's the best or second best rigatoni dish she's ever had, which says a lot! Super rich flavors and a hearty meal. I ordered the chicken and it was beautifully cooked and juicy, but a bit boring and not enough mash potatoes. A really big piece of chicken and you definitely will be stuffed after eating it. We all agreed that the complimentary bread we received in the beginning was the same thing they used for the tiramisu and torta. It looked and tasted like it but we couldn't confirm. Each dessert tasted good with the added ice cream, but we couldn't get over the fact it looked like the same bread we received in the beginning. We also ordered the wine flight, which was fun and a cool experience. A bit pricey, but worth it! We ordered the red flight #802, which I would get again.

    Made a reservation there and went in on time but still had to wait for the table for about half an hour. The did offer a complimentary champagne to try to make it up for us ,the food was mediocre at most, definitely not worth the wait if there's a line.

    For the wine flights and happy hour, this is an easy 5 star. For the food, its a 4, but I can't do a 4.5! So I went with the 4 since you will probably eat dinner. The ambiance is gorgeous, and the custom wine tap is worth seeing in and of itself. They have an amazing selection of wines and flights, and a generous happy hour. I tried a barbera d'alba but couldn't get the picture of the bottle. They don't give you wine out of a jug for happy hour, it is always a good selection every time I have been here. Now onto the food. I generally get a pasta dish, and have never been disappointed. This time we had the burrata to start, then we had the Homemade Pappardelle with duck ragù, and parmigiano cheese, and the rigatoni bolognese. The one gripe I have is that our entrees came not even 5 minutes after the burrata. I wasn't happy about that at all, and almost sent them back so they wouldn't be cold, but I didn't want to rock the boat on a first date (know what I mean fellas?). Make sure to have a reservation, as the place gets crowded, particularly on the weekends, as it is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.

    Not sure how I missed this place during my many food journeys in the city, but I stumbled upon it during Center City Restaurant Week and I wanted to try a new place for my birthday. I had a 5 pm reservation and upon arriving, I was seated promptly. I found Panorama to be a beautiful place. The dining room was elegant and not overly crowded at the time. I was greeted by a smiling waiter who asked if I wanted to try a drink. I opted for the Seasonal Sips Wine Flight. I believe the flight had 5 different wines. I don't remember the names, but I do know the Riesling was my favorite. Next up, the Restaurant Week 3 course dinner menu. The menu seemed to be confusing, however the waiter advised that I could chose an option from the appetizer section and another from the second course or just choose two from the second course option and end with dessert. So, I chose the caesar salad to start, with rigatoni for my second course and the ricotta cake for my dessert and final course. The caesar salad was FANTASTIC! It was one of the best salads I have ever eaten. The dressing had a lovely creamy texture and cheese taste I hadn't experienced before. The croutons seemed to be homemade as well. Up next, the rigatoni. Now, I could literally cut each noodle into 4s, so that should tell you how big they were. I loved how the bolognese sauce had the perfect combination of cheese, meat and sauce. Nothing was overpowering. The serving looked small, but was actually very healthy portion actually. I enjoyed the rigatoni course. Last, the ricotta cake. Now, I love ricotta and I love cake even more. So, when you combine these two things for me, I instantly fall in love. The ricotta cake was yummy, I just wished it was bigger. The size was small and the scoop of ice cream seemed even smaller. However, the cake itself was sooo good. I found it to be airy, light, not too sweet and simply good. I had to give Panorama a 4 star review bc there was no acknowledgment that we were there to celebrate a birthday. I mean, we did say in our reservation we were celebrating a birthday, but it was never acknowledged. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. The birthday hiccup was the only thing that didn't make my dining experience absolutely perfect.

    Chose this restaurant due to restaurant week and the reviews looked good. Arrived to restaurant and the greeter was RUDE. Thankfully our waiter was very pleasant and helpful. The homemade focaccia bread was lighter than usual and I actually prefer it this way. The shrimp appetizer was delicious! The chicken entree was a tad bit dry. The chocolate cake was hands down the best course of the night!!! If you visit you must get this dessert ! This is a casual restaurant but can still be good for a romantic date night.

    Really cute, really cozy restaurant, I came here for a birthday celebration with just one other person. I'm not sure it's big group friendly, but it can be group friendly. It's definitely good for a day or just friends who want a slightly more intimate setting as it is not loud. We had a reservation, but still had to wait. Almost 20 minutes to be seated. It wasn't a big deal and didn't Impax the reservation to me, but it could be an issue to someone else who is more pressed for time. I don't remember what the dish was called, but tiny round pasta, was not my fave. I did really enjoy the Bolognese and the desert and drinks. It's a pretty quiet/chill space and all of the staff are just the icing on the cake.

    Best gnocci I've had outside of Italy. Scallop appetizer was delicious Charcuterie board was very good Wine flights were good bang for your buck Service was excellent and restaurant and restrooms were very nice Lobster ravioli was good not great.

    Can't believe I've never known about this place until now. Admittedly not a huge wine lover but this is a must try! The largest wine keeper in the world with over 150+ wines by the glass. We all ordered a flight, I got the "love bubbles" and we shared two appetizers- hen of the woods mushrooms and scallops both of which were delicious. Mushrooms were crispy with great meaty earthy? flavor and the scallops were cooked perfectly with a nice creamy sauce and mini potatoes. Will definitely have to come back for the happy hour as they offer half price flights on Friday and good amount of discounted apps and cocktails!

    A friend brought me here for my birthday last week. They were offering a three course dinner and a pumpkin succulent workshop event. She thought I would enjoy it and I did! I can't believe that I had never been to this restaurant before! So glad she brought me here! She mentioned that it looked as though they renovated recently (she was there many times pre-covid). It's a beautiful restaurant. I had the mushroom dish to start, the seafood for dinner and tiramisu for dessert. Everything was wonderful! Oh and the succulent workshop was great!

We braved negative degree weather for the roughly 10 minute walk from our hotel. We walked in at a good time. This is the type of place where a reservation for breakfast would be required. We were sat immediately. The dining area is tight. A green velvet bench, marble tables, metal chairs, all packed into a small area. You could very well have your butt brush over the table of the patrons next to you if you have to get up for any reason. It's tight. Our server was around quickly. He was super friendly and kept things conversational, light and sophisticated. My wife ordered an iced latte, I had their hot drip coffee. For a starter, we had to try the cinnamon knot bread. While it wasn't what we were expecting, it was good. Although, we wouldn't order again. The bread is presented as a small loaf, room temperature with a cold cream cheese icing drizzled over top. The bread had a mild cinnamon flavor and was dry. It lacked the sweet, moist dough you expect from a cinnamon bread. My wife ordered the French style omelet. This had gruyere cheese and chives. Beautifully plated, perfectly cooked and the taste was spot on. It was good enough to forget that she paid $21 for just an omelet, no meat, no sides. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. Pretty standard here. The eggs had bright orange yolks which is common for farm fresh eggs. The "coffee" hollandaise didn't come across with a coffee flavor but it was rich and went well with the ham and English muffins. One thing that stuck with me was their drip coffee. Not sure if it has been a while since I had a light roast but the Rival Bros. Revolver coffee was so good, I got a bag of whole beans to bring back home with me. I may even order it again online. Enswell succeeded on all fronts. The ambiance and service was great. The decor, impeccable. The food, thoughtful and tasty. The details from the silverware to the plates added to the experience.
