Behind the wrought iron gate, past the herbaceous patio and through the atrium is Talula's Garden, the warm and elegant Washington Square eatery from Aimee Olexy and Starr Restaurants. The modern menu, prepared with carefully-sourced ingredients and a light European touch, changes with the seasons. The artful cuisine, hospitable staff, sustainable spirits, and a focus on cheese make the dining experience here incredibly memorable.

Food was delicious. Facility also had no issue catering to my food allergies (peppers/paprika). Our server was amazing and was also able to accommodate a quicker than usual meal to get us out the door on time for another engagement. We will be returning.

Tables are WAY too close together! Could barely get in and out and all you can hear is the table next to your’s conversations. It feels like you just jammed as many tables as possible together to get the max amount of people in the restaurant which i get from a revenue standpoint but it takes away so much from the customer experience.

Amazing service. Came from out of town after a full work day. While out entrees were being prepared we were given complimentary bites for our wait and several staff members touched our table 10/10 customer service and food is equally as good. Highly recommend

The food at Talula’s Garden was excellent but service and ambience were a significant disappointment. The wait staff was so inattentive and neglectful it was as though we weren’t even there. Sitting in the outdoor pods was barely tolerable tonight made worse by the absence of decent service. Heartbreaking turn for one of our favorite restaurants in Philadelphia.
