    We are big fans of 1776, and this was our first time at PA Kitchen. Another home run! Vibe and food were terrific, and Gabe’s super friendly and attentive service made our experience that much better. We’ll definitely be back soon.

    Exceeded our expectations. We chose to experience this iconic restaurant with our son to celebrate a special occasion, but the experience was more than anticipated. Service was EXCEPTIONAL, the food was delicious, perfectly executed and served with excellent timing. Manager checks table side, friendly staff, beautiful ambiance, STILL a fantastic restaurant. Definitely worth its pedigree of long term respect. Not just a tourist attraction…definitely worth a visit for anyone wanting a special dining experience in a lovely setting.
