Highly recommend! We ate here the night before the Philly half marathon and could not have picked a better place! We arrived early for our reservation and were taken to our seats right away. Food was delicious, filling, and fairly priced. We enjoyed our meals so much we considered going back for our second night!

Our first time turned out to be very good. We had reservations and was seated within a few minutes after our arrival. Our food was delicious. I had the "jumbo" crab cake that was listed as an appetizer. It was definitely not jumbo in size but was the best crab cake I've ever tasted.

Consistently high quality food and service at this neighborhood gem. Thank goodness the food trendies haven't discovered this place because it is relatively easy to get a table. It's sister restaurant, Melograno, is equally as good but more well known.
