Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Northeast Philly

Went for the Sunday brunch with kids. The view and the ambiance cannot be beat. Food was fantastic and the brunch dessert bar was incredible. Well worth the trip. However, we had an 11:30 reservation and the coat check/ concierge guy kept telling us the restaurant wasn’t ready for us yet. After 20 minutes I finally walked down to the bottom of the steps where the restaurant was and the hostess said they had been waiting for us. This was seriously annoying as we had 3 kids and a full agenda for the afternoon. Once we were seated the experience was great. The restaurant should have better communication between its staff. In hindsight, I don’t think the coat check guy even spoke to the restaurant.

We enjoyed everything from the moment we waked in to the moment we left. Our anniversary was acknowledged by the hostess, our server and a manager. They also sent out a sweet little dessert. Timing was very fluid. I was very impressed with the acoustics- the restaurant was totally packed but you can not hear another individual conversation and can still make out the music. Hard to achieve without seeing visible panels or an abundance of heavy drapery and rugs which there is not. Food was perfect.

We got lucky and got a last minute reservation yesterday after being on waitlist for a few days. Felt like I hit the lottery lol, as I know this restaurant starts booking up in October for the holidays! Timing worked out perfectly as we had to get my daughter to her bus back to another city where she lives — and we had exactly one hour to eat. Got seated right away, thankfully. Atmosphere is always festive this time of year, which is the main reason we wanted to eat here. Food arrived promptly and was tasty, service was good and we were on our way out the door on time as very satisfied customers! We will be back ☺️

our server was very nice and efficient. He was on top of our order and prompt. Fried calamari was VERY dry, but I wasn't gonna complain about and ruin our holiday lunch

Absolutely beautiful establishment!!! Everything from the service to the decor was amazing!!!! I loved how its was a lot of people but it didn’t seemed overcrowded. The DJ arrived at 930ish and the music was rolling!!!! The food was a 4 out of 10 It was bland no seasoning. A new chef would take this place over the top. The drinks were on point and the hookah was probably the best hookah I’ve had in Philly 10 out of 10. The staff were welcoming and provided a great experience. I will definitely be back to this establishment. Overall 8 out of 10
