    My party of seven had a wonderful time. Service was a little slow but it was understandable due to holiday time of year. Our waitress was good at accommodating us and even tended to one of our party member that showed up late after everyone else had started eating. I definitely recommend this place. My meal was delicious.

    This restaurant is worth the hype; be sure to make weekend reservations way in advance (they are strict about them). The meals come as small plates, and the waiter kindly equated the first grouping of plates to being appetizers, the second grouping as main courses, and the third as sides. My husband and I ordered the carpaccio portabello mushrooms and the roasted golden beets to start. Perfectly presented and the right meld of flavors in each. For the next courses, one dish out did the next. Meat eaters will not be disappointed. We finished with a small scoop of cherry sorbet with balsamic vinegar; be sure to give it a try. We look forward to going again the next time we are in Philly.
