    This is by far the best steakhouse in Philadelphia. I have been coming here for almost 20 years and it’s been outstanding every time. Tonight was no exception.

    This classic meets contemporary steak house still holds its own among the best of the premium restaurants in the city. The food is top notch, the service is always attentive without being stuffy, and the rooms, the decor, is exquisite. It's pricey, but worth the splurge.
