Good food but took a long time. I didn’t get my soup until so late and it took 25 minutes for the crème brûlée.

They seemed totally overwhelmed! Took forever to get served. Once our tea food items came, they seemed like they had been left out a while-dried out! Sadly, not a great experience.

Awful. Terrible. So many problems! We came for an 11:45 brunch for 6 to celebrate a birthday. We sat for 10 minutes before getting water. Another 20 minutes before anyone approached us to take any order for coffee or anything. The staff was busy setting up empty tables around us for a tea at noon. My husband got up and tracked down the manager. Waitress finally took our orders. 5 minutes later host returned to say they were out of eggs benedict, which 4 of us had ordered. Never gave us the mezze we ordered to share before entrees. Entrees arrived 1 hour after we were seated. Only 1/2 of one person”s order came. 10 minutes later, the second 1/2 came. Then the bill was all wrong. They voided that and created a new bill. Then they called me 40 minutes after we left to ask for credit card again because they failed to run it for the corrected bill.

The food was absolutely delicious. The drinks were good. The service at time seemed a bit overwhelmed, which led the to rather long periods in between seeing our waiter that was my only disappointment.

We went for a team holiday lunch and it was beautifully decorated, and a great ambiance. The staff were very friendly, and the food was delicious. We shared the duck wings which were falling off the bone and amazing. We almost all ordered the burger that was juicy and declicious.

Enjoyed the meal immensely, plus the service was exceptional. The noise level, though, could be reduced a bit, possibly with higher walls, partitions, etc. Also, the music playing was a little loud and energetic (while good) was not condusive for quiet conversation. All in all, we enjoyed our time and will dine here again in the future.

Beautiful space right in Rittenhouse. It’s within the sofitel with nice Christmas decorations. The big windows allow you to see out to the street scape which is nice as well
