    This is about the 4th time my friend and I have celebrated our birthdays by going out to 75 Chestnut. I love this restaurant because it’s festive, but casual. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. There were enough vegetarian options. There just weren’t any draft IPA beers available which was disappointing to me. Our server was wonderful. She was so friendly and attentive, and did everything she could to make our dinner perfect. To top it all, the restaurant gave us a special birthday dessert with a candle as a surprise.

    It was an exceptional meal we did the 7 course tasting. The only thing was they brought it way too fast! When we asked to slow down it was a lot better but we got 3 courses out of 7 ln less than 15 minutes. We will definitely be back
