General Tso Chicken Sandwich
Sue H.

Brought our son and his GF to dinner here during our Independence week visit. Of course we came in on Saturday and completely missed the happy hour I had so planned to enjoy. Regardless, that didn't fit the kids' schedule so full price drinks and entrees it was. The kiwi cooler looked interesting to son, and a couple of canned beers were added to keep costs down. Had my eye on the striped bass with basmati entree and it was super! Piled high on the yellow rice, it was a lovely dish to behold. A really nice sear on the bass, fresh herbs, quite excellent. Husband chose the Louisiana Chicken Skewers which came with red beans and rice. Although plentiful, he found the rice to be dry and didn't want to take it home with his leftover skewer. Son ordered the steak Mac and cheese, which was rare steak strips on top of which cheesy shells. He wasn't thrilled with the rare meat, and had a LOT OF TROUBLE chewing the steak even after cutting it into bites. Should have sent it back but too polite. His GF ordered the General Tso Chicken Sandwich and it was a big hit! Huge craggy crusty chicken breast and spicy sweet sauce on a fluffy bun with a huge pile of extra brown rustic French fries. So the food is hit or miss, and my memory has failed me for details about the service. Let's just say there is more to explore here (and a happy hour to try) on our next visit to Philadelphia!

Korean Fried Pickles

Popped in here for early dinner and had a pleasant experience. A few different vibes going on, both in the atmosphere and the menu. The downstairs feels more like a bar while the upstairs was a bit nicer. It was pretty cozy in there, especially with the snowfall. The apps and mains are truly all over the map. We started with the fried pickles. It came with a gochujang sauce. We also shared the Detroit style pizza which was pretty solid/authentic. They had a decent cocktail/beer selection as well. The service was very friendly and accommodating. They kindly sat two of us and allowed us to order a drink/app while we waited for the rest of our party. Would surely recommend!

Came here with a friend for lunch. We were seated right away and the hostess and wait staff were super friendly and attentive. I ordered the avocado toast and substituted my side salad for French fries. The fries were so good but I was a bit underwhelmed by my avocado toast. Overall, gave it 4 stars because of how attentive the service was.

Italian market fries...Italian pulled pork with shaved provolone over awesome seasoned fries.

When I fly into Philly on business, I always try to build in a little time before leaving to hit the Yunk and The Goat's Beard. Though there are so many good choices in the area, this one is a never miss for me. TGB is more than just a cool name, it's an amazing combination of high quality food and drinks served by a top notch team, top to bottom. Friendly, engaging, no-nonsense...truly repping the Philly ethos. I started with the Italian Market Fries, a newer menu item that's worth getting...and big enough for 2-3 people. Tender pulled pork and shaved provolone over seasoned fries. Awesome! Being from Detroit, I'm picky about "Detroit style" pizza. Theirs is legit and the Philly cheesesteak version was fun. For my tastes, it needed more sauce which they happily supplied. Next time you're anywhere near the Yunk, don't miss The Goat's Beard!

The Smokehouse Pizza ( large)
Ellen W.

Fun conveniently-located restaurant serving well prepared entrees and quick bites. They have a generously priced happy hour menu including TGB (Chicken) Nuggets, Smashed Burgers and Fries, Philly Cheesesteak Rolls, specialty cocktails and mocktails, etc. and a mouth-watering weekend brunch menu. Waitstaff is always unobtrusively attentive and knowledgeable. Sat outside tonight and enjoyed dining al fresco. Can't go wrong ordering the Smokehouse pizza. It's beautiful (I like looking at it) and amazingly delicious. I highly recommend Goats Beard Manayunk and suggest you get there sooner than later!

I've been waiting to try this place and it did not disappoint. The food was good - well done and flavorful. They've got a great selection of drinks, just an overall easy spot to hang out.

So glad I finally made it here - it wasn't high on my list of restaurants to visit because it's rare that I'm in this area how ever, I have seen and heard favorable reviews about this spot... and after my experience I'm so glad I finally made it! I made reservations online for a Sunday afternoon. When we arrived, it was during a period where the restaurant was only serving a select few items (I can't recall what specifically) so we waited until our waitress informed us that we could order from the extended menu... We ordered mostly apps and a salad... oh, and dessert, which was sinfully delightful! Everything was delicious - great balanced flavor, perfect temperature, and cooked to perfection! Our waitress was helpful, pleasant and the prices were reasonable! Drinks were great also! The atmosphere is cozy and laid back; and the music that played was good too!

Angie B.

This is a casual, laid back place for tasty food and cocktails. The atmosphere is definitely that of a neighborhood spot and it feels local and familiar, even if it is your first time (I've actually been here a couple of times!). My daughter ordered the salmon and it was actually really delicious. I ordered the pizza and I was very happy with my order. Our server was friendly and helpful. This is a good place if you happen to be in this area! I recommend!

I didn't realize how huge this space actually is--They have seating outside in the front and back, downstairs and upstairs. I actually realized that this was the place I had my very first date LOL back in the day when this place used to be Derek's! Anywho, for starters I had the whipped ricotta which was citrusy, very light and paired with a buttery salted pita that really was a nice touch. For my entree I partook in the salmon dish that was served overtop a bed of asparagus risotto--So so good, I hope this remains on the menu as I'd definitely order this again. And last but not least, for dessert I had the affogato (ice cream and espresso) which was the perfect way to end the night. 10s across the board and our server Vincenzo was such a nice guy, checked on us every time he walked past our table, sweetened my lemonade after I told him it was too sour which I wasn't expecting and he boxed my food although he didn't have to... I'd likely request him the next time I'm here as he made the experience feel special. Thanks guys, we had a great time!

While these transient wretches microwave their Sad Cuisine in their Marriot holding cells, Lark's seventh floor aerie curates a dining experience well worth the exorbitant price tag. The service here is outrageously on-point while the appetizer, pasta and main courses are both inventive and delicious. I love duck and their duck in a currant infused sauce was the best I've ever had... anywhere. Given the tiny portions there's no risk of leaving here "stuffed" but you will leave amazed and satisfied that you have experienced something truly special. As a bonafide hater of foodie hype in any form, I have no choice but to give Lark a resounding five stars. PS... Bala Cynwyd, PA must have more cemeteries (including a sprawling Pet cemetery) per capita than any place on the planet. More poor souls that will never experience Lark.

But this is also fitting…read moresince whether its been driving by it back in the day, or through gazing up at it on the hill when I was in Manayunk, La Collina is one of those places that has been in my peripheral vision for a few decades now! For 20+ years, I've known La Collina to be that fancy and classic-looking Italian restaurant on the hill that I've been needing to try. But it took coming across its name when doing my research for possible spots to go to for my birthday to put one and two together, and it led to quite the majestic experience. The friendly and hilarious valet attendants ensured that service was incredible before we even entered the building. And upon entry, we were treated to spot-on recommendations and quality service throughout the evening. For cocktails, I was in awe of the Anejo Old Fashioned, which used Patron and agave syrup instead of the usual whiskey offering, and I also appreciated the classic Negroni. For appetizers, the classic meatballs with homemade marinara and ricotta were an absolute delight, and the eggplant rolatini with spinach, prosciutto, and mozzarella was sheer perfection at its most decadent. For my entrée, I initially expected that I would be eating all the pasta. But the restaurant is also known for its seafood, and the risotto frutti di mare especially caught my eye. and with its calamari, clams, mussels, and shrimp, and perfectly cooked and seasoned rice it absolutely delivered the flavors! Toss in a salted caramel chocolate soufflé with a candle on top, and it easily made for another memorable birthday dinner and a deserving place to recommend!

Tonight was a stark contrast. We sat at the bar, and service was painfully slow. I had to ask three times for water. The bartender was very nice, but the restaurant seemed understaffed. The food was just okay and far too expensive -- $60 for dorade and $59 for branzino. The bathroom was dirty and had no soap. I was also disappointed by how the owner handled a gift certificate I had discussed with him at that bridal shower and understood would be honored. The date had been slightly altered, but not by me. Instead, he was curt and dismissive. A little kindness and good customer service would have gone a long way. The hostess was lovely, but overall this was a very disappointing evening.

Relatively empty when we arrived about 6pm on Sunday, we had a choice to sit at the bar, outside, or even indoors. We took two corner bar seats, and the very friendly bartender got right to work. No cocktails today. Just a virgin margarita and a Mexican Coke along with waters. We split some guacamole and chips both of which tasted homemade on the spot, and while I had the shrimp tacos, my wife had the chicken empanadas. Both meals came out quick and were really good. I added some of my guacamole to the tacos, and the empanadas were full of chicken and were underneath an avalanche of lettuce and sour cream. Both meals were more than filling with the chips and guacamole. We made it to our show without any problems. It seemed that others were doing a pre-show dinner, too. About $75 including tax and tip with a 10% food discount. This included a Mexican Coke, virgin margarita, chips and guacamole, shrimp tacos, and chicken empanadas. We would definitely come back.

There are 3 floors with three separate gorgeous eating areas and 3 full service bars. I loved the decorative tequila bottles and the aesthetic of each floor. Definitely worth taking time to explore. We stopped by before catching an amazing show at Fallser Club. We were pleasantly surprised to receive an extra 10% discount on our food by showing our tickets. We had cocktails and got our food to go to eat at the venue. You won't find food pictures from me in this review because due some dietary restrictions my food wasn't packaged as it usually is served. For the next show we will be going early and eating onsite to fully enjoy all Cresta has to offer. We will also make sure to sit on the 3rd floor rooftop level to enjoy the view where the very large windows are opened to enjoy the fresh air when Mother Nature cooperates. Back to to the food and drink. The cocktails are unique, gorgeous and delicious. Each one crafted with garnishes like fresh orange peel and pineapple leaves. Cocktails can be ordered with sugar, salt, or tajan on the rims. I highly recommend the apple cider margarita and the La Kartina hibiscus cocktail. The photos don't even do them justice. I ordered the plantains, deconstructed veggie tacos and a side of Al pastor chicken. I also had a side of the guacamole. The guacamole was so fresh and flavorful and I loved the cheese added to the top. The chicken was flavorful, well seasoned and very colorful. The plantains were the perfect level of sweetness. Now, about that the art! I loved the decor and art. The art around the restaurant and the tshirts employees wore were designed by a bartender who I didn't get to meet. The murals were so colorful and detailed. One was more beautiful than the next. I found a very cool selfie mirror on the 2nd floor that I loved! The artist's insta handle was on the wall as well and is included in my photos. From an accessibility standpoint, the second and third floors can only be reached by stairs and may not be suitable for those with mobility issues. Thank you Cresta for accommodating our large party for cocktails and takeout. I can't wait to come back for the full experience!

However,I had to wait so long for my meal that we had to wave the waiter over and tell him I didn't get my mail yet. (meanwhile my friend is eating her pizza. ) He says this is a free-flowing kitchen, and my meal will be out soon. My meal comes out as we were speaking to the waiter. The food was very tasty. The drinks were excellent! The prices were reasonable and the atmosphere was nice. The service could've been better.
