Great atmosphere for catching up with a dear friend of two. I love knowing in a cozy inviting place with good drinks and food but not having to shout to communicate. Did not disappoint!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars — An Outstanding Dining Experience! My wife Dagmar and I had dinner at Oyster House before heading next door to see The Great Gatsby, and what a fantastic experience it was! Our server recommended that we try two of each of their oysters, and it was an excellent recommendation. We enjoyed them so much that we ordered four more of our favorites! We followed that with the grilled octopus, which was excellent, and the scallop crudo, which Dagmar absolutely loved. We both ordered the crab cakes, and they were amazing! My Old Fashioned and the Sauvignon Blanc were both on point and paired perfectly with our meal. From the service and ambience to the decor, food, and genuine friendliness of the entire staff, everything was five stars across the board. We would absolutely return and highly recommend Oyster House to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in Philadelphia!

We dined at Spice Finch for weekend brunch. The food was delicious, which is saying a lot for brunch which is often good but basic. As a table we ordered the brunch sampler ($35/person), and it was a great value. Lots of food and so fun to get to try everything. You can a spread of dips and bread/veggies, broccoli tabbouleh, avocado toast, shakshuka, and spiced fries. Everything was so good and had real flavor. We also each had a couple of their very unique cocktails: apron spritz, Thai chai espresso martini, pistachio gin, etc and they were excellent. I highly recommend for a great value brunch and will be back
