    Excellent food and service. High Street also has one of the best ceasar salads in Philly. Don’t skip on the garlic knots either!

    Overall the ambiance was great, cocktails were good, and the food had good flavor, however the portions were small. I can’t remember the last time I left a restaurant still hungry.

    Great place would have been a five but my hanger steak was over charred so was like eating charcoal flavored steak . Salad was amazing as was the pasta . Felt that the wine list was a bit weak
    High StreetResponded on October 18, 2026
    Hi Kurt, Thank you for your honest feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed the pasta and salad, but we apologize that the hanger steak was overcooked and that the wine list didn't impress. We will review both with our team to make the necessary improvements. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better dining experience!

    If you are expecting a Fork-level of service, you will be disappointed. We waited nearly 15 minutes for our table. 12:30 reservation and we didn't leave until 2:30. We sat for at least 15 minutes after we finished our meal before we could get coffee and even then our plates weren't cleared until the coffee arrived. Pizzas were delicious and I would definitely return for those. A little disappointing.
    High StreetResponded on October 18, 2026
    Hi Sara, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. While we're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our pizzas and plan on returning for them, we sincerely apologize for the delays you experienced with clunky service. That is certainly not our standard, and we will share this feedback with our front-of-house team to ensure a smoother experience next time. We appreciate you sharing and hope to welcome you back soon for a much more seamless visit! Best, Alyssa General Manager
