Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Swarthmore

Our dinner was outstanding! My husband had the lobster bisque which he is very picky about and loved it. Will be going back again!!

Our appetizers, salads, half pastas and entrées were delicious! Our server was excellent.

Food and service always on point. We were so kindly asked if we could move to the next table over a few minutes after we placed our order so to accommodate a larger group as the place was hopping. We did not mind. We were offered a nice bread basket and deviled eggs which were so delicious. Nice touch.

Steak 48 in Philadelphia delivers a truly exceptional dining experience, blending impeccable food with outstanding service. Appetizers: We started with the Meatball, which was tender and flavorful. The sauce was a standout, earning it a solid 4/5 rating. However, the real star of the appetizers was the Oysters, particularly the Glacier Point variety. Fresh, briny, and perfectly complemented by a punchy horseradish, they were unforgettable—a full 5/5. Entrees: The Bone-In Filet was cooked to perfection, with a rich, juicy flavor that highlighted the quality of the cut. The Butcher’s Cut Ribeye was equally impressive—well-seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor. Steak lovers will not be disappointed here. Service: Shannon was an absolute delight. Her incredible energy, deep knowledge of the menu, and attentive service elevated the entire meal. She’s a true asset to the restaurant and made our anniversary unforgettable. Steak 48 Philly is a must-visit for anyone craving a high-end steakhouse experience. Between the fantastic food and stellar service, it’s a place we have and will continue to return to.

This was our first time dining at JG, overall the experience was amazing. The staff is extremely attentive, knowledgeable and enjoyable. We choose the tasting menu, one of us tried the "from the earth" menu- it was so creative and you think about vegetarian dishes very differently. The "land and sea" was also amazing. There was some debate at our table how well the cabbage and lobster dish worked together but overall an absolutely amazing experience!
