They are communal style tables, and you will get to enjoy the band after 8:15PM.The Twisted Tail is a bi-level restaurant, bar and live music venue featuring a charcoal-fired grill, a wealth of bourbon selections and the rollicking ambiance of a "juke joint" (or old school Southern music hall). The inventive menu highlights ingredients in their simplest form, flame-broiled over live coals for rich, authentic flavor.Inside a warm, welcoming dining space makes The Twisted Tail South Street’s best place to catch a band - and a bite.

    Hello.. as always, Estia does not disappoint. From service to food. But missing the the old tuna tart dish, the new one is not the same missing the avocado. It’s just not the same experience. But of course will be back in just few weeks.

    I just cannot tell you how much we enjoyed our visit to Gran Caffe L'Aquila on Wednesday, March 12. First of all, our special table was ready for us when we arrived, and, of course, we had their best waiter, Mimmo, who was just wonderful in terms of his service and personality. Both the veal dish and pasta with a delicious white cream sauce went way beyond our expectations. The meal was topped off with an out of this world rich Italian hot chocolate that I have not discovered anywhere else in the city. All of the staff is just so attentive and gracious and we are just counting the days until our next visit.

    I visit here everytime I visit Philly. It’s a great spot, good energy and most importantly dining alone is heaven here. The open kitchen is one of my favourites. Great vibes, loud music, delicious food, tasty and considered drinks - what’s not to love!
