Restaurants near Insectarium

We decided to eat out for Christmas. Joining me for dinner was my brother and daughter. We arrived for our 4:30 pm. dinner reservations and were seated at our table quickly. The restaurant was not crowded.i remember thinking we came at a good time. We were greeted by our Kemara W. she was very patient with us as we order our dinner and drinks. After we received our drinks I noticed that it was taking a long time for appetizers to arrive (about 20 to 30 minutes). The appetizers were hot and delicious. However, I was disappointed in my lobster bisque. It was cold and no pieces of lobster meat. The waitress did apologize for the soup arriving late. We had an extremely long wait for entrees. Of course all of our entrees included a lobster tail. My lobster tail was under cooked. So I took it home reheated it (who whould want to that)? I have been dreaming of a tasty lobster since I made the reservations. We were told that some members of the cooking staff were new. However, Christmas evening was not a time for new staff. You want your " A" staff on so your customers will want to return. It whould have been nice if the manager was there to oversee everything.

Small restaurant almost pub/bar style. Food was pretty good.

our server was very nice and efficient. He was on top of our order and prompt. Fried calamari was VERY dry, but I wasn't gonna complain about and ruin our holiday lunch

Absolutely beautiful establishment!!! Everything from the service to the decor was amazing!!!! I loved how its was a lot of people but it didn’t seemed overcrowded. The DJ arrived at 930ish and the music was rolling!!!! The food was a 4 out of 10 It was bland no seasoning. A new chef would take this place over the top. The drinks were on point and the hookah was probably the best hookah I’ve had in Philly 10 out of 10. The staff were welcoming and provided a great experience. I will definitely be back to this establishment. Overall 8 out of 10

The service was excellent and the food was awesome. Everything was cooked perfectly unserved, hot.
