Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Northeast Philly

This was my first time at The Love + it was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. The check-in hostesses were warm and welcoming, and every staff member, especially my server, John, was friendly + knowledgeable about everything great the restaurant has to offer. My meal, the Caesar Salad + Ravioli was outstanding, the flavor profiles in both dishes fresh + inventive ~ I devoured everything! The restaurant itself is beautiful, lending to the perfect dining experience I thoroughly enjoyed. I look forward to my next experience at The Love.

We were seated within 5 minutes of our arrival on an extremely busy night. Stacy, our waitress, was very friendly and helped us with decisions on our entrees as a party of 6. Enjoyed the beet salad, and tuna Tartar for appetizers. Steaks (filet mignon, bone-in filets were fantastic as were the scallops/rice entree. Coconut cream cake with caramel dessert was a tasty finish. We were not rushed at anytime so dinner lasted 3 hours.

Christmas Eve Seven Fishes dinner was truly spectacular! The newly remodeled restaurant is beautiful, and the ambience was warm and buzzing. Can’t forget the food — which was wonderful. Owner Ellen Yin was there circulating and helping out the staff, which really made the whole night special. Thank you Fork for helping make this year’s Christmas festivities memorable!

This was our first time dining at JG, overall the experience was amazing. The staff is extremely attentive, knowledgeable and enjoyable. We choose the tasting menu, one of us tried the "from the earth" menu- it was so creative and you think about vegetarian dishes very differently. The "land and sea" was also amazing. There was some debate at our table how well the cabbage and lobster dish worked together but overall an absolutely amazing experience!

It was a phenomenal experience! We'll be recommending this to our friends in Philly and will likely be back. We did the 12-course omakase and were blown away. Leo was great!
