Best Modern European Restaurants in Glenolden

We had an excellent evening at Alexander in Rittenhouse, and a big part of that was our server, Katia. She made the night. Katia is from Mexico, and she shared some of her culture with us throughout the dinner, which created a really special connection at the table. Beyond that, her service was outstanding from start to finish. She walked us through the dishes with real knowledge and enthusiasm, and every recommendation was spot on. The food was fantastic, but it was Katia’s warmth and attention that turned a great dinner into a memorable one. Thank you, Katia, and thank you to the whole team at Alexander. We’ll definitely be back!

Eggplant Parmesan is some of the best I’ve ever had. Portions are enormous. They are very up front that it’s byob — but of course I missed it and had to run to a nearby wine shop to get a bottle. The only real complaint is that the seating needs some improvement, in terms of density / placement, but also in terms of the stability of the furniture. My wife’s chair was so rickety that she had to swap it for another.

My family joined me to celebrate my daughter’s birthday with no knowledge of LaScala. They were so pleasantly surprised and my daughter was so happy and delighted for such a lovely dinner with family. I will be back for more memorable experiences.
