I have visited the Pyramid Social Club in the past for networking events, so I was familiar with the amazing view and aesthetics of the rooms! I decided to check this event out and it was fun time! The table mates were personable and everyone was in a good mood and our anticipation of what was to come next was met with slight disappointment at the lack of ambiance provided. Although I was hoping to have some lighting..it was bright and although you had masks...it was hard not to see different images as they approached the table. The good: the food and drinks were satisfying. The bad: long time lags in between courses. It was a fun time because wherever I go..I'm gonna have a 'good time'...but I wish this event rose to the level of delivering on what was advertised! read more

Dining in the dark?! More like scamming in the BRIGHT lights! If you see this advertisement, steer far away from it! Would never do again. Maybe at a different venue but don't do the one in Philly Pyramid Club! Cons: - BRIGHT LIGHTS, not at all how it was advertised! They could have at least dimmed the lights! - says that it starts promptly at 8:30 p.m. it DID NOT even start on-time and we didn't even get an appetizer until 9:45 at the earliest. It's an abbreviated menu for god sakes. How hard is it to have food ready?! They expect you to keep the blindfold on, but we would have fallen asleep waiting for our first plate to arrive... and the extra bright lights make it harsh on your eyes when you do take the blindfold off if you happen to put it on that is. - astronomically Overpriced: 180$ before you even sit down. It doesn't even include a complimentary drink. I could handle if it were fine dining. - Premature-baby-food-sized portions. The plate itself was huge but the portion is probably half the size of your hand, and after pretty much starving you to death and only feeding you liquor, this is unacceptable. With your blindfold on, you almost feel like you're being Punk'd! Had to take it off to see what was on the plate. No second helpings or anything. Flavors were not even robust. Dessert was just as much of a joke! Once we left we had to get a real meal afterward! -ridiculous surcharges, it wasn't enough to charge us $180 to reserve this scam but when you're trying to make the best of the night and get a couple of drinks they slap on an extra $16 forced gratuity and all she had was 1 drink at the table! Tell me how that's fair?! If I weren't so frustrated, I would have fought the charge but we were just trying to get out of there without me making a scene. Pros -Nice view -drinks at the bar were actually good but NOT while seated. -best thing was the appetizer. -Staff were at least pleasant. I guess you better be if you're running a scam. In summary: Save your hard-earned cash and go to a real restaurant and close your eyes, and it's better than this experience. We smiled through the pain but don't let these pictures fool you. -There's a pretty lame Emcee: she would announce random things and whenever the food was on its way and then have people guess what it is, asked if we liked it, and talk about the ingredients. The pinnacle of the night is when the Emcee, asked everyone in the room how the main course was... the whole room, in unison, let out an audible groan of dipleasure, disappointment, & being vastly underwhelmed... it very well may have been all of our stomachs because we were still fåcking hungry! No exaggeration, I was very surprised to see not one person cheer about it which validates My overall feelings of this experience Fever really ought to be ashamed of themselves. This outing felt more like a pyramid scheme but I guess that's why they picked the venue the "Pyramid Club"... I should have read the reviews beforehand. read more

A great social club located in the heart of Philadelphia, amazing view and bar, there's also a restaurant section open for guests, but members do get a discount. Facilities include working cubicles, meeting rooms...etc. For both business and leisure minded individual. They hold different events as well, like fundraising, fashion shows. Their Gibsons are must try and you can always ask bartenders for suggestions! Will try the restaurant next! **Some facilities and Areas are members only** ****Update***** I tried the restaurant and I would wholeheartedly recommend this place while there are still improvements for the dishes that can be done(already told them), my experience was nothing but positive. The seafoods are really good there if you are a pescatarian like me. read more

Came here for a holiday luncheon. Terrible wine selection. Awful appetizers. Small and looked bad. Sit down lunch consisted of a sparse salad. I ordered the New York strip steak. It was fatty, full of gristle and nearly impossible to cut. Spindly potatoes and green beans. Dessert was a cheesecake I did not eat. I asked the woman for a coffee she said yes and never brought it! All around terrible experience. Would not recommend. read more

Thank you Travelzoo for helping me avoid a financial disaster! Sometimes you have to be careful if you follow so called buzz about well known dining and exclusive restaurants or clubs. I'm so thankful for Yelp, I read the reviews so I was prepared for what I would possibly experience, meh! I wasn't disappointed because the reviews weren't that favorable and I split the cost of the Travel Zoo deal and the automatic 20% gratuity. Can't see me doing this again as I was not impressed! The best thing about this place is the view and our very attentive server Imani (sp). Although we were under a thunderstorm watch and the clouds were ominous the view was still beautiful. We were served a variety of warm rolls and whipped butter. For my appetizer I had the King Crab Tempura it was good, not special. My entrée I had the Smoked Duck Breast which I asked to be cooked medium well, it still came out medium but whatever I went with it. Finally I had espresso gelato it was tasty but not as good a the Icery in Lansdowne! read more

The pyramid club is located on top of a high-rise building in downtown Philadelphia there is plenty of parking in garage is nearby and you can call ahead to see if they have any specific recommendations The club is very stylish and both the dining room and lounge area are very generous in their seating arrangements And you don't feel crowded We were able to die in there when the cloud cover was coming in and the views from the restaurant are amazing We all enjoyed our entrées that were prepared very well and with the type of presentation you would expect in a higher end restaurant The wine list was also extensive and fairly priced. We were pleased with our night out at the pyramid club and would recommend read more

I've always been intrigued by the Pyramid Club because of its exclusive nature and finally got the opportunity to attend an evening affair this summer and whew...the vibe was uber sexy! Incredible views of the City of Brotherly Love from the 52nd floor. If you're feeling down, just try to find an event to attend at the Pyramid Club or be a guest of a member - you'll instantly feel up (literally lol). Staff is really accommodating, professional, and down to earth and the ambiance doesn't feel too uppity like how you would imagine a members only environment could be. But even more importantly, let's talk about the food! Hands down the best Impossible Burger in the city...or in fact, the best one I've had to date (and I've had quite a few ranging from Cali to NY). The secret - request the Impossible Burger with the Pyramid Burger toppings...super scrumptious! read more

5 Tuna Poke Bowl/ sushi rice, mango, avocado, fresh seaweed: Have had this dish a number of times and it always consistently delicious. The ingredients are always fresh. Even though the dish is packed with flavor you never feel overwhelmed afterwards. Overall 5: Food is pretty consistent. They will change the menu seasonally. They offer fresh bread to start. If you have a gluten allergy they offer, gluten free crackers. Really nice wine selection. A few of the wines from South Africa are highly recommended! Staff is always very friendly and attentive. Great views of the city. read more

Stuffy and dated feel as soon as I walked in. They also have an outdated dress code policy that you should check. We did a private corporate event here and I had no point person on the day of our event. I was pointed down a hallway to the room where no one greeted me. I grabbed a server in the hallway and asked where guests could put their coats and bags, and he told me guests could put their things "On the floor against the wall". REALLY? I made friendly eye contact with anyone wearing a name tag, and not one person greeted me or offered assistance. Everyone seemed distracted by other events. When I attempted to flag down a host with a question about service, she promptly spun around and walked down another hallway. We were assured the room would suit our needs but it was entirely too large and felt empty, making it look like our event was a failure (We had 90%+ attendance, but the room was just too large for our headcount!) There were also LOTS of hidden fees (more than I've seen at most venues we've worked with) which ran our bill up QUICKLY. We found ourselves cutting corners to stay on budget, and the food was not worth the prices they charged. Be sure you read that contract CLOSELY! I was stationed at a registration table welcoming our guests all night and not a single server came by to to see if I needed anything (I had to leave my post to wait in a bar line for a glass of water, and was never offered food that was served to our guests.) This was a first for me, since I've done countless marketing events and most servers are kind enough to stop by to see if things are going well of if anything is needed. The desserts were good (but overpriced). The other food was extremely lackluster. I would not book another event here. I would give it one star, but upped to two stars because the view is good (Lucky for them for securing space on the 52nd floor because there's not much else to offer!) and the communication of the event planners was always prompt. They answered all my questions, but when it came to the day of the event, I felt like I had no point of contact on site to help with simple things like helping our guests find restrooms and hang coats. read more

***This review is only for their New Year's Eve Event *** I saw on IG that the Pyramid Club was having a New Year's Eve Party. Read some of the reviews on Event Bright and thought we try something different than our usual spot (for the last 2 years) the Moshulu. http://www.moshulu.com/ The Pyramided is in the BNY Mellon Center on the 52 Floor in Center City Philly. They're known for having one of the best views of the City for fireworks. They got me at fireworks. I'm a sucker for anything that sparkles. The package included 5 hours open bar, butler passed Hors Oeuvres, buffet station, desserts and Champagne Toast. Doors open at 8:30 pm. We arrived around 9:30 pm and the only food available was dessert...Really? This place had multiple rooms but everyone was small including the dance floor. And to think we almost went with the VIP room which was no bigger than the non-VIP rooms. The view to see the fireworks were ok. I don't see us coming back when I can get everything and more (much better view, plenty of food and an awesome DJ) at the Moshulu. read more

Meh. My boyfriend got a travelzoo deal for us to try this spot out. I think it was $65ish, but you are forced to pay 20% gratuity which they unfortunately did not deserve. FOOD: Scallops: 3 stars. These were actually cooked perfectly. Seared on the outside, not overcooked. However, the seasoning was mediocre.. which seems to be a trend .. really lacked salt aspect. Beautiful presentation Bread -- probably my favorite part :/ I liked all the assorted breads they give you (see photo). Cheddar bread, multigrain, and like a garlic cheesy stick Salmon with asparagus and fingerling potatoes: presentation was beautiful. However, really lacked any seasoning again. The fish was flakey, and well cooked. however, i had to add like 3 pinches of salt, and I do NOT eat salty.. that's my sister :p The asparagus and potatoes were again cooked to a perfect tenderness, but no seasoning. Tiramisu - disappointing. The taste was on point.. but it was mostly cream and no cake SERVICE: way too noob I must say, the lady that served us that night was very friendly. But as much as I've dined out and understand the restaurant world, a lot of things were just unacceptable. "Would you like to start of with something to drink?" Me: Sure, the Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy, and my boyfriend had some sort of porter.. Anyway she comes back saying "I'm sorry, can you point both on the menu. This menu is new" Sorry, but that's really unprofessional. I don't care if the menu is new. Every restaurant owner and manager, should REQUIRE all employees to know the menu backwards and forwards. Even the hostesses are required to know these things. Second instance: " Do you have any questions about the menu, or are you ready to order?" "Actually, what is the soup for the day?" Server: Oh.. let me go check, I don't know. COME ON Needless to say, I will not be returning. read more

The Pyramid Club, named for obvious reasons, is atop the former Mellon Bank Building, but as of 2009, is now the Bank of New York Mellon (BNYM), but I'm sure people still refer to it as Mellon. I visited (way) back in 2002-3, preparing for a friends bridal shower. This was the only destination I considered in town until she decided to have her festivities out of state. Timothy was the consultant I had met with that day, and he gave me a thorough tour of the facilities. I didn't get to try any food during my visit, but it appears to be a hit or miss. For special events, there were numerous rooms to choose from, from smaller, intimate conferences to larger, grand banquets. And of course, everyone here has pointed out the views are unmatched from other high rises in Philadelphia due to the layout, regardless of which direction was faced. I am surprised this kind of place has started accepting TravelZoo deals and the like, but then again, I haven't been this way in over a decade. Guess they have changed their status quite a bit? Cheesy fact: I was first exposed to this establishment since Savage Garden held a private fan meet up here years prior. No, I did not go. read more

Pyramid Club is atop the BNY Mellon Center in downtown Philadelphia. It happens to be the building I work in so ive been there quite a bit. It is night/day comparison (in a good way) of pre vs. post renovation. It is now a clean, modern and sophisticated bar/restaurant with superb views. Their food and beverage outlook is just ok, not great, not bad. It is certainly not a place you're going to for a specific item, there's no "gotta have-it's". If you're going here, ultimately it's for the view and atmosphere. p.s. Theres even a small shuffleboard table... and I love shuffleboard read more

Good music, drinks and food! Would come for special occasion or just a nice night out.

Note: This reivew is for en event that took place here, not the dining experience. View was absolutely breathtaking! To see the entire city lit up at night was all that was needed. :-) Came here this past weekend for the Alzheimers Junior Association Masquerade Ball. Everything was so well organized. Right when we walked into the building, there was someone at the bottom of the elevator waiting and pushes the button for you. Then going up the elevator, there are 2 people waiting at a table to check you in. They let you know that a picture will be taken right when we walk upstairs so they recommended us putting on our mask. The photographers they hired are so nice! They took our picture, complimented our masks, and pointed us to the party area. They had photobooth, magician, bartenders, appetizer servers, small food table, auctioned items, and dj. It was so much fun. And all the entertainment and servers were beyond nice! They really know what they are doing and do a great job For the food - loved the mac n cheese! Mmm, so creamy and absolutely delicious. The also really enjoyed the pork sliders. The cheeseburger sliders wasn't really doing it for me. Kind of dry. They also had veggies, but they were all RAW. I thought some of the stuff would have been steamed or something, but nope. As for the appetizers, sooo good! The chicken empanadas were one of my favorites. They also had coconut chicken on a stick, eggrolls, stuffed mushrooms. Dessert were mini cupcakes by Sweet Ts bakeshop. Omg...it was heaven in my mouth. :-) I def want to check this place out during a regular meal. read more

Stunning venue! I was here this summer for a friend's wedding. Breath taking views, wonderful food and fantastic company add up to a great recipe for one memorable night. The room has tall glass windows with an almost 360 degree view of the city. It is romantic and contemporary. Mind you, the elevator does not go all the way up, it stops one level below and you have to take the stairs. So if you are wearing heels, it's something to keep in mind ;) PS. Since I was here for a wedding reception, I can't comment on the dining experience...yet! read more

We went for Valentines Day. We sat down and my husband asked to see the scotch menu but they didn't have one. The server recited a couple of basic options, but nothing interesting on that menu at all. I ordered the prix fixe with the wine pairing. When I asked for my drink that came with the first course, it took 3 servers to figure out what I meant. They were too busy talking to each other in the corner to notice me. When the drink came 20 mins later, it was warm white wine. YUCK. We waited and waited but our app course never came at all. We had long finished our first drink and the bread, and then they brought out the entree course. We told them we never got the apps. They went back... another 20 mins later they brought out the wrong apps. So basically we ate nothing and we were there for almost 2 hours. This place needs to get its act together!! It was a real bummer. read more

Absolutely stellar experience. Excellent service starts from the moment you walk up the stairs. Once seated we took a few minutes to take in the amazing views and then they brought us bread. So let's stsrt with the bread. Little white rolls with some sort of sea salt in them and excellent flavor. Cracker type things that were like everything bagels on a cracker. Pumpernickel, a few crackers and a couple of other rolls round out the basket. All of it delicious, we asked for a refill which they gave us gladly. The menu is small, but the food was excellent. For appetizers I had fried oysters and they were very tasty. My friend had their tomato soup which he said was ok and our wives each had the beet salad which they loved. On to the main course. I had the Friday special, surf and turf, and it was awesome. The steak was very flavorful and cooked properly, the lobster was fully off the shell and excellent, and the cauliflower and potatoes were tasty as well. I would order this again any time. Absolutely wonderful. The desserts were excellent, and the service was stellar throughout. The only thing that wasn't top notch was the coffee, which I found just average. I would absolutely eat here again. read more

We received a well-meaning Travelzoo giftcard to dine here from my mom. I called a few days ahead of the desired dining date (our anniversary) to make a reservation. "We're booked Friday," they said. That's fine. Friday's busy. I made the reservation for Tuesday, spending about ten minutes on the phone verifying my information and the travelzoo voucher number. The guy seemed bothered by me. Our reservation was for 7:30 and we received a phone call at 7:20 asking, "So will this be a cancellation for your 7:30 reservation?" No, I explained. We were in the elevator. Literally minutes from the restaurant. Sorry? We arrived at 7:22, looking fly. After our Travelzoo voucher was stamped (lol) and handed from receptionist to hostess to waiter like a badge of shame. "Enjoy your dinner, you cheap buttheads," I imagined them saying. We were seated in a completely empty room after and given menus. We chose a $38 bottle of wine, apps and entrees (the voucher was good for a free app, free entrée, and free dessert per person). The appetizers were ok. My entrée was trout, swimming in a sea of butter and oil. I had to season it with salt. My boyfriend's entrée was ok, it was like a seafood stew of some sort. The desserts were ok. The food was not dissimilar to what I would imagine a rich, heavy white guy would have his chef make. A man who drowns his sorrows in butter. Then we were handed a bill for $80. Pfft. It was super awkward as we were literally the only people in the dining room throughout the entire meal. I'm sad because I heard the food was good. Do they serve different food to the club members than they do the Travelzoo peasants? Two stars, cause the view was cool. read more

My review isn't based on dining here rather its on a travelzoo gift that I gave to older friends who have been mentors in my entire adult life. I thought it would be lovely to send them to sky line dining experience (just a random act of kindness). Every time they tried to make reservations they were given the run around. Eventually they grew tired of trying and let the vouchers expire. The money was credited back to my account but the experience was upsetting. I received another email with a similar offer here and it rekindled bad memories. To make up for it I just bought them a gift card to dine at the Ritz Carlton and gave them a bottle imported white wine. read more

This is a members-only restaurant situated like an eagle's aerie towering atop one of Philadelphia's skyscrapers. Its in the Mellon Bank building? I forget. Anyway..I vaguely remember... eating here.. for some reason. No idea why or how, since neither I or anyone I know is a member. It is an oddball place; upscale to the point of being stuffy; stiff and hoity; and the staff definitely 'rule-mongers' you beyond the point of frustration. Since its not a restaurant which depends on 'walk-ins', your papers better be in order. 'Every little thing' has to be correct about your reservation and attire and whatnot. It all befits the intense geometrical shape of the place; the crazy glass pyramid of icy, interlocking beams (like Jor-el's penthouse on the Planet Krypton). In retrospect, there really is something odd about a penthouse restaurant like this being 'members only'. Rather a heavy-handed 'message' in that, wouldn't you say? Not very 'American'. The food was middling high-level; well-presented like you see in food magazines and precise enough to suit the decor..I mean, its not like they're going to do anything really wrong-- considering who their clientele is. Still, the food is not much more creative than any of Philly's other finest restaurants at ground-level. I did enjoy the view ...but the place can be eerily, dead-empty on nights (like ours was) during the week when Philly's GOP crones and ghouls are all at the symphony (or perhaps home with hot-water bottles to ward off chills). My companion and I basically had the run of the joint. It was an experience. It was hilariously vacant as we ate. Echoing, cerebral..Tralfalmodorian..perched up high like that above the city--well, just rather bizarre to be the only guests in a room full of empty tables. Dining in utter, rapt isolation like Keir Dullea in 2001:Space Odyssey, is very disorienting. Not exactly as 'fun' as it could be, since there's no other diners to enjoy it with. I suppose the place does conferences and presentations too, which would make sense. The grand dimensions of the space, exude a sort of 'suspense'. You keep looking over your shoulder, as if in the expectation that some powerfully wealthy tycoon is about to make his entrance and explain his plans for world domination, like in a James Bond movie. Ehh. I'll take the hustle-and-bustle of the Capital Grille any day. read more

Came here for a business lunch and, while I was blown away by the views of the city, I was underwhelmed by the food. Thank goodness I wasn't paying. It's your typical country club-esque feel (agree with another user who described it as all cherry and leather). Staff are all very nice and the service was fine. Prices are inflated and I guess expected given the atmosphere. I was excited to see falafel with hummus on the menu (because aren't crab cakes just so cliche?) but I can assure you what I got was neither falafel nor edible. The highlight of the meal was the small basket of onion bread in the middle of the table and the chocolate cookies near coat check. Stick to crab cakes? read more

I have been here for several events and this is basically a country club on the 50th floor, except that it caters mostly to the business crowd, although they will hold graduation and debutante events in the evening. The food here is quite good, but the bar is excellent. As can be expected, the service is wonderful and it offers a nice view of the city. You do have to be a member to enjoy the amenities, but certainly if you have a lot of business luncheons and events to plan, I would consider joining. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I came here for a private party on the 51st floor and was pleasantly surprised. First off I was greeted by friendly staff that quickly took our coats and directed us to our area. Upon entering the private rooms you become surrounded by amazing views of the city. Instead of walls there are huge panes of glass for city viewing. The servers brought appetizers of jumbo cocktail shrimp and crab cake bites. They were very friendly and made sure everyone was included. The bar staff was also efficient and friendly. Dinner was served in hot metal trays. The ravioli and pasta was decent. They also provided a salad station for custom salad creation. Overall a very classy establishment that is perfect for corporate, networking, alumni or any private event. read more

I went to the Pyramid Club for the first time for a networking and social event launching a partnership between the Philadelphia Junior Chamber (Jaycees) and the Philly2night VIP Club last Wednesday evening. I came to this event as a Philly2night VIP Club member, and honestly did not know much about the Jaycees. After speaking with several of the Jaycees and the woman who organized the event, Liz, I realized that the organization was a wonderful integration of everything that young professionals need for success in the areas of business development, management skills, individual training, community service, and international connections. I will definitely be attending all of the events created by this new partnership. The Pyramid Club, itself, was wonderful--beautiful marble, gold, and cherry wood decor and breath-taking views of the city from every corner. It was impressive and professional without being stuffy or intimidating. It is a country club on the 52nd floor, but not in a bad way. And, of course, the $25 Two Hour (serve yourself!) Open Bar with wine, beer, and food..that was pretty fantastic, too. The wine and beer selection was diverse and would appeal to a wide variety of people. I know I was pleased with the Pinot Grigio offered. The food was great and included Philadelphia "classics" such as, cheesesteak spring rolls, flatbread pizzas, and homemade soft pretzels. The staff was great. Doreen was delightful! She was very attentive and friendly, constantly checking with each guest to see that everything was perfect. Everyone was very engaging and not at all aloof or disinterested. A super-friendly dining operations supervisor, Mike, was also on the floor at all times and the well-being of each guest and the success of each event was his utmost priority. Overall, I was very impressed. It was a wonderful (and fun!) evening and I look forward to attending another event at The Pyramid Club. Hopefully soon! Also, if you aren't a Philly2night VIP member, you should definitely consider joining. Check it out! http://zfer.us/e2qDg read more

*Note: I attended an event at the Pyramid Club. This review is only for the space as a venue. First, let's tackle the obvious: the view is fantastic. Fifty-two floors above the city of Philadelphia, you can look out the towering windows to see incredible feats of architecture, bridges, waterways, and of course New Jersey. It's worth attending an event here for the breathtaking view and butterfly-like feeling of vertigo alone. The shape of the space - a long rectangle - does present some challenges as a venue, however. When vendors' tables are set up around the perimeter of the room, it limits one's access to the windows. I'm shameless when trying to get a good picture, but at times capturing a shot did require apologetically climbing over vendors' things and getting behind their booths. The buffet table was set up on the short side of the room by the main door, and there were vendor tables beside it. This made it difficult for people to access those tables when there was a line for the buffet, and difficult to tell who was in line for food and who was in line for the vendors. On the other side of the buffet table you had to contend with people coming and going through the door. The table and the heating tray things keeping the hot food hot were also obstructing more windows. I still got pictures, of course, but it wasn't easy. read more
