Stephen Starr’s Buddakan is a spectacular restaurant featuring exotic flavors of modern Asian cuisine with creativity and drama. Bon Appetit notes, "The mostly white space is striking, with a lit-from-within communal table in the middle of the room, a waterfall & a ten-foot, candle-bedecked Buddha. The religious icon watches over hip customers indulging in pan-Asian cuisine that far surpasses the fare usually found at hot spots like this." Newsweek reports, "Design also serves as a signifier for cuisine. You walk into Buddakan, one of the hottest new restaurants in Philadelphia, past a shimmering waterfall & Japanese river stones & you say to yourself, 'ginger-miso everything' even before you see the magnificent 10-foot Buddha dominating the dining room." Named one of “America's Top 50 Restaurants" by Travel & Leisure and 'Top Restaurant for Fun' by Gourmet, Buddakan has become one of the country's most talked about restaurants.

    My husband and I returned to Vetri Cucina to celebrate our anniversary, as we had done the year prior. Immediately, we were encompassed by the warm singular ambience of the small dining room: it feels like coming home. Eric, our server, was outstanding. He was with us throughout the multi-course prix-fixe meal, and gave us excellent commentary about what we were about to eat and drink. He even laughed when I asked, “Does everyone make it through all of the courses?” and he responded, “No. You are the first one.” Vetri is a unique experience. The courses arrive in a decent pace, always giving us enough time to digest and ruminate. The food is uniformly excellent; you can’t really go wrong. Highly recommend!

    Went here for brunch this past Saturday. We ordered from the family style brunch menu: $27 bucks a person for 3 appetizers, 1 entree each, and 2 sides. It was a great deal and the food was really good! Our server was attentive but not overbearing and super friendly and accommodating. While the appetizers and the sides are set, you get to choose your own entree out of 7 options. I got the sangria pancakes and my friend got the crab benedict. 10/10 recommend each entree. I would definitely go here again and you should too!

    We went to Mercato for dinner last night. It was fantastic! We started with the grilled artichoke appetizer and grilled Caesar salad. Both were super tasty and seasoned to perfection. For our entrées, we ordered the pyramid pasta and the braised short rib ravioli. Both dishes were outstanding. We finished the evening with a delicious homemade tiramisu. Our server was fantastic. He was very accommodating and did not rush us. We cannot wait to return!
