    Potato pancakes with mushroom
    Ali K.

    Great Ukrainian cuisine in this small BYOB restaurant. The borscht was great. Stroganoff was on the point. Potato pancakes were really good though probably not the healthiest thing in the world, though that's no fault of the restaurant. Highly recommend.

    Very friendly atmosphere! Small family oriented restaurant! Always freshly made and cooked every day! Love coming here! Definitely recommended to everyone!

    I've been here a few times now and while the menu reflects to same fare as most of the Russian restaurants in the area they are actually more successful at a majority of the dishes. Know first a foremost that like all the other restaurants in this category food is served family style on the tables. The cold appetizers and salads are good with a wide variety so you are pretty assured that there is something for everyone. Same goes for the hot appetizers. You can tweak and adjust the menu to include or exclude items as you need. With that said if you want good shish kabobs this is not the best option as they are the weakest of their menu items. The waitstaff and quick, polite and attentive to the point that they will flow one course of food seamlessly into the next. On the weekends there is a live singer playing & singing mostly Ukrainian songs so you can have a lively dance floor but also make the place very loud. So if you are looking for a place to have a nice conversation over dinner this is not the time/spot. For a quieter meal I recommend coming midweek or during lunch times.

    Friends 30th birthday party at Passage Restaurant in NE Philly. If anyone is familiar with the Russian restaurant scene in Philly you know all the available options. This is the first time we were there since the new owners bought it and changed the name from 1001 Nights. It's a smaller place for to hold 60 people at the most. The one man band for the music was just ok, typical Russian and American songs. The food however was very good. Pictured we have a small potato latke with red caviar and sour cream on top. It's always a fan favorite and did not disappoint. Also pictured is an assortment of Japanese style salads such as Kani and seaweed salad. Typical taste as all the Russian restaurants and same quality you can purchase at any Russian supermarket. The bottom picture is an assortment of fish. Grilled sea bass skewers, shrimp and sea bass filets all covered in a creamy and subtly spicy sauce. I thought it was very good compared to other Russian joints. My wife disagreed but whatever. I'm drunk on vodka and everything tasted good. Basically, overall, it was a cozy atmosphere with solid food. Nothing extraordinary and nothing terrible. I would recommend it for a smaller party and would definitely return.

    Absolutely amazing! My fiance and I came here for Brunch and from the very first bite I was BLOWN AWAY. We had the Borch and it was sooo good! I then got the Beef Stragonof (HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF YOU LIKE BEEF AND MUSHROOMS) And I had a FOODGASM for a good 5 Minutes. I knew this place was good but OMG it really exceeded my expectations! Will definitely be back!!! Thank you guys for the amazing meal!

    Tria Rittenhouse has long been one of my favorite places to slip into when I need a moment of calm…read morein the city, and my most recent visit reminded me why it remains such a beloved fixture. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance wraps around you like a gentle welcome. Soft lighting, warm wood tones, and a subtle hum of conversation create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and effortlessly comfortable. It's the kind of space where you can settle in immediately, whether you're meeting a friend or savoring a quiet moment alone. The most recent time, I enjoyed the short bread sandwich--DELICIOUS horseradish cream. They have GREAT N/A drink options. I love their cheesecake. The service is consistently gracious without ever feeling over-rehearsed. Staff members greet you with genuine warmth, offering thoughtful recommendations and an easy attentiveness that enhances the experience without intruding on it. There's a natural flow to the way they interact--always available when you need them, never hovering--and it reflects a team that clearly takes pride in making guests feel at home. What truly elevates Tria Rittenhouse, though, is its beautiful design. Every detail seems considered: the artful arrangement of tables, the textures of the furnishings, even the way the bar anchors the room with understated elegance. The design strikes a balance between sophistication and approachability, creating a space that feels curated yet never pretentious. It's visually inviting in a way that encourages lingering, whether you're enjoying a glass of wine or simply taking in the surroundings. All together, the warm ambiance, gracious service, and thoughtfully crafted design make Tria Rittenhouse a place that's easy to return to again and again. It's the kind of spot that reminds you how a well-designed environment and genuinely welcoming service can transform a simple outing into something memorable.

    Cute spot for drinks and cheese (just as described lol). We wandered in around 5:30 on a Tuesday…read morewith beautiful weather and were able to be seated, but they were pretty full and needed the table back in about an hour. Our party ordered 4 spritzes and 1 N/A drink, which they messed up and brought all alcoholic drinks, but quickly fixed it when we noticed. The bartender was very apologetic (though i think our server gave him the wrong order so it wasn't his fault). We also got a cheeseboard to share, which was bigger than the server made it sound and not bad for a little snack between the 5 of us. Overall nothing was super special, but it was a nice spot to stop in and have a drink and a bite. Would consider coming back if I'm killing time in the area.

    A+! It took a while to decide how to proceed with the ordering at My Loup, but I suspect you can't…read morego wrong no matter what you decide. Similar to an omakase, My Loup has a "Let Us Cook For you" option. It's $125 for this option, and given the price ranges of the dishes on the menu, you're guaranteed to cover a broad swath of menu items regardless of whether you go with the Let Us Cook For You option or select $125 worth of menu items to order. While My Loup's menu frequently changes--stated on their website as changing daily--there are some items that seem to stay consistent. The Green Garlic 'Escar-roll' seems to be a staple menu item. And for a good reason! Who would have thought a garlic knot of bread in a green sauce could be so tasty. A lot of other menu items went above and beyond expectations like the apple stuffed cabbage with winter crunch and the roast chicken. On the flip side, the pickled shrimp with aioli and saltines is a popular menu item that I found very uninteresting. Given the mix of solid menu items that are consistently on the menu and the ever-changing new options, I look forward to returning. Very good and IMO, under-hyped restaurant!

    beautiful date night spot!…read more this is my first time back to my loup since they first opened, and the food here is just as good as i remember. my boyfriend and i shared the salad niçoise and the escar-rolls. the escar-rolls were delicious and drenched in garlic butter and parmesan -- i could've eaten three of them myself, so good. the salad niçoise was a miss for me. extremely tiny salad for $22, and i did not like the dressing which tasted very mayo heavy. for our mains, we shared the roast chicken and the duck à l'orange. the chicken was juicy and the fries it came with were perfectly crisp and salty. the duck was amazing, it was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the sauce was bright and packed with flavor. i'm also a huge fan of golden beets, they were lightly sweet and delightful! thinking about the duck is making me hungry... we ended the night with a sundae which was tart with pieces of sour fruit/candy mixed in. i could've done without the sour bits, but it was a good palette cleanser and a light way to end the night. service was extremely fast, almost too much so. as soon as we finished one dish, our waiter was there to take it away. our waters were never empty. they did tell us multiple times to take our time, but everything moved so fast we were out in under an hour and a half. overall, i had a great experience and i'm chalking up the unfortunate salad to poor ordering on my part. definitely not as great as her place, but worth a visit nonetheless!

(his place was not worth the $$$, her place was worth the $$). my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed our last experience here, we already have a reservation booked in may and are excited to see the menu for that rotation. the pasta here is always phenomenal. during the dinner, they typically offer two additional options for entrees -- a pasta and a entree. my boyfriend and i opted in for both this last visit, and they were both phenomenal. i really enjoyed the soft shell crab addition, an indication that summer is here. we were absolutely stuffed by the end of the meal... perhaps we didn't need both add-ons. i absolutely adore how small & intimate this experience is. chef amanda talks about each dish and her inspiration between courses, and she even personally brings food out for the tables. the decor is beautifully thought out with stunning plates, and celebrations will earn you a card, party hats, or a happy birthday song. absolutely perfect for a small celebration or date night! can't wait to come back in may :)

We went toward the tail end of the menu (it's rotates every 3 weeks) and everything was so fresh and delicious. The space is so cute and intimate, which makes sense why it's so hard to get a reservation, it probably holds about 35ish people. Their team is ON IT. Explaining dishes, checking in, offering wine pairings. While you're paying for the delicious food, it's really the experience as well. The food was so incredible and they do such a great job of explaining each dish and the thought process behind it. Everything was so great and even the things my table were a bit intimidated by (raw fish), was fantastic and great to give it a shot! The sourdough cookie handed out with the check literally changed my life. If you have an opportunity to snag a reservation at Her Place, DO IT!

The Cowboy Ribeye (medium); 5. Mac & Cheese; and 6. Apple Pie- salted caramel ice cream. The Oion crepe was good (tasted like French onion soup). The short rib was good, but very fatty, and Apple pie was good (could have used more cream honestly) The drinks were also good! As for the rest, I LOVE beef Wellington, have it at Gordon Ramsay's in AC a lot. I was so excited they had a beef Wellington appetizer! I can't tell you what tasted so bad in it, but it tasted bad! My wife said it tasted like plastic. I had a second piece thinking it had to be me..maybe too much sauce..nope, it was still off. I saw someone rave about the mac n cheese, however mine had no seasoning or flavor. It tasted like bland melted cheese over plain pasta. The steak was ok, like any other steak. I did ask for medium and it was medium rare (could see the deep red even in the dim light). I didn't bother sending it back since I knew I'd reheat it the next day and bring it to medium. Unfortunately at those prices I would not go back. If the food lived up to the hype, I'd pay those prices in a heartbeat.

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.

The service start to finish was superb in friendly and fast service. I'd come back for mimosa/bar for sure.
