Best Family Style Restaurants in Center City

We had a party of 4 dine at DelFriscos the weekend before Christmas. Our reservation was at 615 and we were greeted and seated right away. Strawberry sidecar was delicious ! Filets were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. We split truffle fries..grilled asparagus..creamed corn. ..they were all delicious as well. Service and ambience were well worth the money spent. We will definitely be back!

I have had the pleasure of dining at Fiorella's several times before, both in the downstairs dining area and with their pasta club dinner series. This was the first time, however, we visited with an 8 month old. Friends of ours were in town from California, and we really wanted to show them an example of a dinner that makes us appreciate Philadelphia so much. The staff was incredibly patient and accommodating with our young pasta lover. The noise level and other diners that evening made our experience feel simply like you were eating in a friend's living room. We're grateful for Fiorella's in many ways, and always suggest this restaurant for smaller, more intimate gatherings for friends and family.

We had come into Philly to enjoy some holiday shopping and I thought Dandelion would be a nice, cozy spot for lunch on a cold December day. It was perfect! We were shown to a lovely corner booth upstairs where every table was full, but the noise level was a non-issue. Bella proved to be a knowledgeable and professional server and had good suggestions regarding beverages and menu selections. I enjoyed the salmon pate and my husband's burger was terrific. It was the typical Stephen Starr restaurant experience: creative, authentic decor; well-trained professional staff; and great food.

Great food and excellent personal service. Really cool location, great for a special occasion. The decor for X-Mas just made everything better. Highly recommended!

Great day party scene... Was definitely a vibe! Recommend getting the bottomless mimosas.
