    We are frequent visitors to Talula’s. Booked 6 weeks in advance and requested the seat us in our Open Table profile preferred tables. When we got there none of those tables were open and they had just seated someone there. We had to sit at a least preferred table so was annoyed off the bat. Tyler did an awesome job as server. Paced the food well. Kept checking on things without too over the top. Food was good. The gingerbread scones were a bit overdone but delicious. We are scheduled to go back in January. Hoping the table situation doesn’t happen again.

    This was a great first time experience! I loved every single thing! The ambience, the apps, the drinks, the main entree. I will most definitely be back. We shared chips and salsa as well as the bazooka guac. If was so fresh and the flavors were amazing. I had mahi tacos and a side of plantains. The meal was hot, and again super fresh and tasty! My friend and her mom shared the fajitas for 2. It came out on a sizzle plate with lots of toppings. It was Hot & timely. Our margs were superb. You won’t be disappointed!!!

    We had a late lunch at This wonderful restaurant around Rittenhouse Square. Ken was our server. When we told him we just got married and we were using a gift card that our friends gave us, next thing we knew 2 glasses of champagne we brought over to us. Would definitely go back… worth the splurge!

    One of the best meals ever. The service was amazing, friendly, thoughtful and without arrogance. The food was perfect and each item was the best version of that food I have ever had. Dover Sole, Mac and Cheese, ribeye, lamb, Brussels and the unforgettable, almost ordered 2-Caesar Salad. But yes, it is not cheap. Worth the trip for sure.
