    Parker House Yum Yums

    We almost skipped Terra Grill because of some negative reviews, and I'm so glad we didn't. We had a 6:30pm Saturday reservation but arrived early to enjoy a cocktail at the bar. After checking in, we chose to wait and head to the bar instead of being seated right away, and that decision paid off. Melissa greeted us with a big smile and thoughtfully asked what I typically enjoy drinking before offering suggestions. That alone felt more personal than the usual "What can I get you?" She made me a lemon drop martini that was fantastic, and we enjoyed chatting with her before heading to our booth. Dustin was our server and couldn't have been better. He let us dine at our own pace, made a few helpful menu recommendations, and gave us space to truly enjoy the evening. Since we're not big eaters, we shared the Parker House rolls, peppered calamari, and grilled branzino. Everything was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. We were tempted by the salads but honestly had no room. The parsnip purée and spinach with the branzino were standout sides...so good we wished for more. No dessert for us, but we did enjoy a few cocktails and wine with dinner. As wine enthusiasts, we found the list a bit overpriced, but that was our only minor critique. Otherwise, we loved both the food and the atmosphere. Please don't let the negative reviews stop you from trying this place. New restaurants often need time to work out the kinks, and Terra Grill is clearly heading in the right direction. We'll definitely be back.

    short rib bun, terra sliders, and tuna tartare

    OK, so I came back a second time and had a much better time. This time during HH, which was quite worth it. I pretty much bought one of everything. The chicken sando is a MUST. One of the most tender chicken I've ever had and despite a simplistic appearing dish, was quite amazing. The short rib bun and tera sliders were also delicious. The wagyu hot dog is good and it is in a flaky pastry, very reminiscent of some Asian hot dog buns but an elevated version. The service this time was impeccable and was very attentive. Our server accidentally put in the tuna tartare instead of the tuna toast that was on the HH menu. They comped the tartare, apologized, and brought out the toast (which by the way, the toast is pretty much the tartare but I guess a "technically" smaller version). Finally drinks came out at a reasonable time this time around. Much better! Recommendations: Chicken Sando, Short Rib Bun

    I was so excited to see a new restaurant with a large outdoor space open in NoLibs, and it was the perfect spot for a warm spring day. The food was fine but not worth the money. You're basically paying Kalaya or Suraya prices for food that is just a step above the Cheesecake Factory, so you might as well walk 10 minutes farther to Fishtown if you want better food. The salad was good but not $41 good. The duck was not good at all. Service also left much to be desired (e.g., waited a long time to get water refills and to get the check) but it's likely because the place is so new and still figuring itself out. Terra Grill is definitely a good addition to the neighborhood, but there are so many better places just a smidge north to spend your money for a better experience. I'd say it's a good place to people-watch and enjoy a cocktail. (This did not factor into my overall 3-star review because I understand that not all restaurants should cater to kids. However, in case anyone is wondering if the place is kid-friendly, the answer is no, although the staff was accommodating. Go to Urban Village across the street instead. There was a single high chair at the restaurant.)

    Terra is such a great new addition to Northern Liberties and honestly exactly what this neighborhood needed. It's so nice to finally have a spot like this nearby without having to head up to Fishtown every time you want a really good dinner or fun night out. The drinks were amazing, the food was amazing, and everything came out fresh and full of flavor. You can tell they really care about quality. Service was also great--everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. So excited to have a place like this in the neighborhood. Definitely coming back soon.

The Spritz drink from the happy hour menu was a delight (although still expensive at $9). We ordered the oysters, which were delicious and they came with 4 sauces (tomatillo, mignonette, cocktail, carrot habanero). The fries were delicious and we loved the aioli they were served with (bonus that they're $6 on the hh menu). The Birchrun Blue cheese was incredible and came with a generous portion of bread and a tasty horseradish jelly. The chicory salad and Caesar Brussels sprouts were both outstanding veg dishes. We finished our meal with the frozen yogurt. The flavor options weren't my favorite but I believe these are seasonal. To summarize, the prices are a bit steep here but the vibes, service, food and drinks are all fantastic!

    We decided to try this restaurant for this first time for the NYE Prime Rib Night. I don't know why…read morewe were expecting it to not be very good. Maybe it was because we thought the restaurant's culinary concept was somewhat mundane ("picnic"). Maybe it was the simplicity of the food or ingredients on the menu... BUT BOY WERE WE WRONG! THE FOOD WAS GREAT! Simple dishes, yes...but executed really well! We were surprised, but maybe we shouldn't have been. With the super-friendly service and unique open concept warehouse meets magic garden decor, we will definitely be back...at least for the prime rib special! And yes, it's "deep into Fishtown." So deep, in fact, that it's full on past Fishtown and actually in East Kensington.

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. We would come back.

I felt like I ordered the wrong combination. I was able to do an egg sandwich and swap for sourdough bread vs eng muffin. Love that. Didn't love the copper sharp cheese that was a bit messy and tangy. I kept thinking they must have added some type of sauce on it. I'd much rather come back for a simple fried egg combo and chedda cheese. I was also offered sparkling water, but I do wish it had more fizz. The service start to finish was superb in friendly and fast service. I'd come back for mimosa/bar for sure.

Highly recommend making a reservation as it's a small place with about enough table seating for 20-30 people at a time. For food with started off with the focaccia which was divine! It had the perfect amount of sweet salt and the bread was still soft with the perfect crunch. For mains, we had the vodka rigatoni which was delicious! It wasn't that spicy to me but was the perfect portion size. The pasta didn't come with the option to add a protein so that's something to keep in mind. I loved that all the drinks they offered were made locally by PA breweries and wineries. They also have an amazing share meal deal that allows you to try multiple dishes for a good price.

Our waitress actually let us sample a few of the wines, since we couldn't decide! This was awesome and so rare these days, but a definite plus for any "wine bar". That being said, the food was really underwhelming. The highlight for me was the tuna crudo, which was so flavorful, creative, and absolutely melted in my mouth. The carrots were also really good. The pastas, however, which the place is known for, lacked flavor. The menu descriptions seemed super unique and innovative, but when the dishes arrived, they were seriously lacking. I really did come here for the pasta, and since the meal wasn't exactly cheap, I don't think I'll be rushing back.

Huge bar, giant wall of liquor bottles, dim lighting, and a cool old-school vibe. I told the bartender that ordering a beer in a place like this felt like I was insulting him. He laughed and told me not to worry about it. The drink special was called "Naked and Famous," which honestly sounded like the perfect cocktail to order in honor of Jen. But then I spotted a dark beer on the menu that sounded too good to pass up. If you follow me, you know I'm slowly becoming a dark beer guy. I liked it a lot. The sandwich special was a cheesesteak. Sorry, I should've taken a picture of the menu. But I really enjoyed it, and for $18 it came with a mountain of seasoned fries, which feels like a bargain these days. Bomb Shell: the two people working absolutely crushed it. I don't know if they were understaffed or if Monday night got busier than expected, but they were working their tails off the entire time. Even with that, they stayed polite, friendly, helpful, and incredibly accommodating to the guy carrying around a mannequin. Great visit to Sassafras!
