It's casual, fun, and honestly, everything feels worth ordering! The Big Pancake is an absolute must! I prefer the classic version over the orange honey, and it's the perfect little treat to share with the table. They also have alcoholic beverages, which makes brunch even better! We tried the Fluffy Mimosa and Dirty Chai Espresso Tini, and both were SO delicious. And whatever you do, DO NOT skip the "Latke'd" Hash Brown with dill cream and trout roe. Crispy, creamy, salty perfection in every bite! Such a fun brunch spot with great food, delicious drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

I enjoyed the concept of the chef bar, you can watch the cooks put together the food - they're non-stop by the way. The crab lump guacamole was good but it was very much like putting half a cup of crab salad onto guacamole. It was interestingly kind of.. wet. Still slapped though. The ceviche was really fresh, I would've had that as my meal of it was a large portion tbh. The Baja Fish tacos are as good as reviews say. The pieces are a good size and the skin is light and crispy while the inside is still juicy. The Birria tacos I was, unfortunately, not as impressed with. While the melted cheese between the tortillas was a nice touch, I felt like it made it much heavier and overpowering at the end of each taco. I do wish the tacos themselves had more crunch to them, it was missing something like onions to stop it from feeling mushy. The consome was more like a beef stew and not a birria stew - the flavors just weren't there. The Michelada? Delicious. No notes.

Really enjoyed the signature cocktails. The fries and the chicken wings are a must. We got an array of dishes including the swordfish, dorado, portobello mushroom, and the ribeye for 2. I think they knock it out of the park with the fish and the sauces. So good. And of course we finished with the soft service. Got some of each. It's a great way to wrap up a fabulous dinner.

I appreciated the wide variety in the salatim sides that came with this order. Hummus and pita that came with were great as well. The laser lemonade drink (4/5) was a nice burst of flavor in between bites. Ambience (5/5) is friendly and conversational. Service (4/5) as expected for the bar during a busy time.

We got some wings, the burger, and fried chicken sandwich. Wings were good. Buffalo flavor was a little a weak. Other than that they were seasoned well and chicken was hot and juicy. Burger was standard. It's what I expected. Tasty! Chicken sandwich was the same. What you would expect in a good way. The fries that came with each sandwich were thick cut, not too salty, and the perfect compliment to the sandwich. Overall, Suttons was great for some classic bar food

It was perfect for my friends and I to swing by and grab a bite. The service was phenomenal, our waiter was cheery and attentive to our needs. The food wasn't bad either, we started with these fried banana bites which honestly was the highlight of the meal. The chicken tenders and spicy fried chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries were quite good and standard. The bun on the sandwich was soft and pillowy which was perfect for the flavorful, spicy, and slightly tangy chicken patty. The chicken patty didn't particularly have a crunchy crust on it but it was juicy. I think Front Street Cafe is worth a visit if you're looking for a place to hang out with friends and to grab some food. It is pricy for what I got but I would say the atmosphere made up for it.

The…read moreservice was extremely slow - it took awhile for someone to initially visit our table to take our order and once a server did take our order he did not return to refresh drinks or provide silverware when our food arrived. Another staff member brought our food and left it so quickly we had to flag down another server to bring us silverware and ask where our server was to refresh drinks. The food we ordered had great portion sizes and flavor. The shrimp and grits were thick and chunky with just the right amount to spiciness. The mushroom bacon was a nice vegan option and crispy. $ Limited paid street parking nearby

Never had lentils for breakfast, but it was a nice hearty touch. The sausage was a nice touch too. Also, thank you for the tangerine, it made a nice snack after the meal. My best friend and I split the pancakes. They were delicious. However, it came with a light green sauce that was far from sweet and an acquired taste. We tasted it, but it was left unfinished. I can't wait to take my wife here. I would also love to stay at the hotel.

After dining at Bastia for brunch last year around this time (and leaving disappointed) we decided…read moreto be a bit nostalgic and give them a second chance. This time, dinner service. First off, Hotel Anna & Bel is gorgeous, and when you enter the dining room, you feel like you've been transported back to a Corsican hotel circa the 1940s. The dining area is medium sized, with an expansive open bar, and while the two tops are small, they're not crammed so tightly together that it becomes awkward every time you get up to go to the bathroom. Once seated, we were greeted by our waiter who asked us if we'd ever dined there before and after telling him "yes" he quickly ran through the menu without much personality or insightfulness, telling us for two people opting for two small plates, a pasta and two entrees was standard. So, left to our own devices and not being mega hungry, we opted for two small plates (one off their daily specials), a pasta, and one entree. Bread & Oil $0: Each table is presented with a small bowl of massive green olives swimming in lightly flavored olive oil and house made sourdough. This was appreciated and acted as a good vehicle to sop up some of the sauces, though not very memorable like some other bread services I've had. Cucumber & Pistachio Soda $10: This arrived beautifully presented with a huge sprig of fresh mint and a bubbly chartreuse color that aligned with the bright, herbaceous flavor of the cucumber and almond-forward pistachio. 4 out of 5. Worth the order. Skate Cheeks with Heirloom White Polenta & Jimmy Nardello Brown Butter Crisp ($25): Despite being one of the most talked-about dishes on the menu, this one didn't live up to the hype. For nearly the price of an entrée, we got four tiny bites of flaked skate cheek which were nicely seared, buttery, and tasting mostly of... butter. The polenta was, well, polenta and brown butter crisp was good but just layered on more butter flavor. Delicious? Sure. One note? Absolutely. Worth $25? Not even close. I expected much, much more. 2 out of 5. Skip it if you came hungry. Amberjack Crudo w/ sundried tomato passata, saffron anchoiade, pickled fresno & marcona almonds $24: This was the second favorite dish of the night. Thin slices of fresh amberjack sat atop of flavorful and bright passata sauce. The pickled Fresno added acidity and saltiness while the almonds added a nice crunchy contrast. The anchoiade, however, was MIA. 4 out of 5. Order if on the menu and you're looking for a lighter bite. Storzapretti ricotta dumplings w/ guanciale, arrabbiata & fiore sardo $27: These were the favorite of the night. Hearty ricotta dumplings were bathing in a chunky, rich and intensely flavored arrabbiata sauce. While the dumplings were a bit heavy and dense, the guanciale sparse and the chef may have been a bit heavy handed on the Calabrian chili (or did they use smoked paprika?), the flavors were well received. The heartiness was also much needed after the lack of heft in the first two rounds. The grated fiore sardo added a nice salty punch and, all in all, this was a solid dish. 4 out of 5. Order this if you want a belly hug. Lancaster Ivory Chicken with Cannellini Beans, Fennel, Clementine & Calabrian Chili $36: I know this is chicken, but somehow it was the most chickeny tasting chicken I've ever had, and not necessarily in a good way. The bone in breast and thighs were dry, while the skin was flaccid and lacking flavor. Thankfully, the beany broth and caramelized fennel and clementine helped save the dish (and were honestly the best parts) 1 out of 5. Skip this and go for the pork short ribs or swordfish instead. Our dining neighbors ordered both and not only did they look fantastic, they confirmed they were delicious. We were presented with the dessert menu which felt uninspired and honestly after the meal we had, we didn't want to risk being let down even more so opted to get ice cream at Weckerly's instead. Bastia looks nice on paper, heck, it even looks nice inside, but unfortunately the food never quite catches up to the setting. I gave it two chances and got two strikes. In a sea of great resties around Fishtown, that's more than enough to knock it out of the running, and I don't see myself dining there again anytime soon.

Unfortunately, the chicken and waffles were completely drenched in BBQ sauce, which overpowered the flavor of the food. It felt like I was drinking BBQ sauce straight from the bottle.

I personally would order this as my meal if I could. room temp, oily, good crunch to soft ratio. Judion Beans: good beans. they are on a similar wavelength as butter beans. honestly I get them for the table for the extra bowl of oil at the bottom to dip the crusts in. Creamy Oregano Salad: very interesting. small shaves of mushroom and fennel. very slight bitter taste. oddly addictive. the olives were my favorite part. i'd consider these friendly olives to those suspicious of olives. and the olives are cut in halves, so easy to pick out. so are the mushrooms. easy split for a table of four. beyond that i'd get two. *ADD ON* pickled chilies: very good. I suggest adding this to the pie. they are green, spicy, delicious, absolutely lovely. Corn Pizza: all together very delicious. my favorite part are the cherry tomatoes on top, which I would really like to be an add on option to other pies. they are the perfect flavor and size. i'm not particularly a tomato fan, especially whole. these are a rare exception. Classic Pizza?: solid, no notes. good as always. My only wish is that they offered a sauce to dip my crust in. they have very good crust, perfect ration of crispy and fluffy. just needs a sauce. Overall, great service, the manager greeted us to check on our meal, our server was attentive, the vibe is great inside.

If you liked spicy, you'll love the arrabbiata. The cream and cherry pepper vinaigrette on the red pepper pizza was so perfectly savory with a hint of acidity.
