    We had an absolutely "phenomenal" lunch at JG Sky High in Philly. As soon as we arrived downstairs, we were so surprised that the valet attendants helped our elderly guest who had trouble walking into the entrance of the building. They went one step further and even walked him to the elevators which we did not expect, it blew the three of us away. Thank you so much for doing that. As soon as we got off the elevators our jaws dropped because the orchid display in the lobby was absolutely stunning. All four of us are garden enthusiasts and so we took note of the Vanda orchids which are so rare to find anywhere and to find so many of them hanging up in the lobby was breathtaking. . We were a little early for our reservation so the host was kind enough to let us sit at one of the lounge areas. 15 minutes later we were shown to a wonderful table by the window. Our server Andy came over and introduced himself and went over the menu with us. We placed our cocktail order right away. Then another gentleman, Kevin came over and told us he would be working with Andy to take care of us this afternoon. He was so personable, so friendly and hit it off with us right away. We ordered the spring rolls for appetizers and the four of us absolutely loved it. We ordered the shrimp burger, the turkey burger, the bacon & cheeseburger and the salmon with the kale salad. All four of them were plated beautifully and tasted absolutely delicious. The four of us could not resist ordering the cookie plates for our desserts, they tasted freshly baked and were absolutely yummy. Thanks to Andy and Kevin for making this a "wonderful" dining experience. In addition to that the view from our table was absolutely jaw dropping with the entire city of Philadelphia at our feet.

    Great food and drink and staff. The place was busy when we arrived and it took some time before got to order. The wonderful staff realized this and comped us our first drinks. Very nice of them. Happy Hour specials are excellent! And a fun Quizzo host and competition!

    We had a wonderful experience. The food was excellent and the service impeccable. The only thing is customers should be aware that they will be there for several hours if they are doing the tasting menu. It is was overall a great experience.
