Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Rittenhouse Square

Went here with a couple friends for one guy’s birthday celebration. Everything was fantastic except for one thing. We ended up stuck at the front table, downstairs right as you come in the door near the Host/Hostess stand. This is a table they should get rid of after the weather drops below 50 degrees F (and it was 28 degrees F this night). I asked if there was another table available because it might be too cold there and the staff stated, unfortunately there were no others available because they were so booked but they could keep the door closed. Ha. I knew that would be impossible because they were so busy that the door would be constantly open both with customers coming in and with staff running food to the upstairs part of the restaurant, and the interior door doesn’t really close properly, even when staff attempt to close it as much as possible. And when a large group arrives, both the interior door and the exterior door are open for an extended amount of time because they had to check in at the Host/Hostess stand. Thankfully, we all dressed warm enough to get through it. All I know is, if this was a reservation with my wife we would have walked out!!

Had a delicious brunch at the Love-excellent service, interesting menu, large portions. I would give it 5 stars but the potatoes served with the eggs were useless-too salty, no other seasoning-just unembellished potatoes straight from the fryolater. Everyone at the table agreed. Everything else was fabulous, tho.

So good ! From start to finish - excellent. Understated and underrated. Service ambiance and good quality all 5 stars. We order one main dish each and a handful of mezze items and sides like beets and basmati rice and fries. The fries were good but not great and out of everything we ordered, happened to be my least favorite. King salmon was my main course and was so delicious and flavorful - there was no stopping me from finishing it. I only recently came here for happy hour and once many years ago for dinner and I have to say, it was great to be back and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend.

Always a fun time and good food!! A neighborhood go to spot for a comfortable meal!

Just what we wanted, quiet, with good food at a reasonable price. We would go again. Service was excellent.
