Had a lovely post-work drink and small plate here. Really enjoyed sitting outside in the nice weather. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the wine and dishes and gave honest recommendations tailored to my palate. Highly recommend!

Amazing ambiance and an even better experience! Paul was THE BEST!!! He helped us find the perfect Sauvignon Blanc and made the night unforgettable. My espresso martini was a 10/10. Can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic atmosphere. Restaurant was a little bit loud but not more than expected. Lighting and atmosphere was great. Service was phenomenal. The clam and spaghetti dish that I ordered was a little bit too salty, but they took care of it and got me something else. (Sopresine verde) which was amazing and delicious. For an appetizer, we had a dozen oysters and the Crudo. I can’t recommend those appetizers enough. Make sure that you also ask for the house hot sauce. I have absolutely no complaints because everything was literally fantastic.

A little loud but the service was good, really liked the chickpea panisse, the half chicken excellent, not crazy abt the dessert with too much hazelnut creme but everything great otherwise.

Had an amazing birthday dinner at a.kitchen. The cocktails and wine were great and the service was spot on. The food was super fresh and full of flavor. We tried the French puff cheese pastries (gougères), whipped tofu, ricotta rosette, and the wagyu bavette steak—everything was excellent. Definitely recommend.

Enjoyed a lovely casual late brunch and cocktails seated in the corner of their bar area. The cocktails were great; service was swift and accommodating; and we shared several items off the Sunday Brunch menu. We started with an order of the Amalia Oysters on the half shell. They were perfectly plump, icy cold, sweet little morsels served with a very unique strawberry gazpacho mignonette. We ended up ordering a second round to close our meal because they were such a treat. As a tourist, I am quite sure the golden beet salad featured in my attached photo, will haunt me with cravings for years to come. They were perfectly roasted and tossed in a refreshing citrus dressing with a fresh dill yogurt. I’m salivating just recalling the experience now. The chickpea panisse was an explosion of flavor and the curator creatively produced a dish I don’t think I will find on too many other menus in my future. Our final bite was the Chicken Liver Toast, which like the rest of the menu, used ingredients in a very unique palatable manner. The toast was sturdy, crispy, and soft all at the same time. The dish used peanut butter in a manner that was subtle and made me want to rethink how I use the household spread in my own repertoire. I was inspired by all of their dishes, and will hopefully return if I find myself back in Philadelphia. I highly recommend to anyone in search of a creative, satisfying, high quality meal. And we loved our bartender! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Fabulous restaurant near Rittenhouse Square. We discovered this restaurant the other day when "Parc" was too busy. Wonderful dinner menu, especially the pork chop and the half chicken. Nice wine selection (nice dry Riesling from the Mosel area in Germany) and great outdoor seating. Excellent service.

I came here for a casual dinner with some coworkers and ordered the Ricotta Rosette with a side of chicken, along with the Baked Top Neck Clams. Everything tasted absolutely amazing. The server was very attentive, and the ambiance was lovely—a very quiet and intimate setting.
