Mike DettraAugust 23, 2016The food was insane. Had the 20 oz aged rib eye and it was so good. Wife had veal shank and tenderloin which was also really good. Great atmosphere in a high rise building. Try to get a window seat.
Philly.comDecember 27, 2013From his 37th-floor perch, chef Daniel Stern wins praise for his skate with fettuccine and clams, served with little necks, razor clams, a clam pizza on the side and a garlic/parsley/herb broth. Read more
Christy GallagherJanuary 4, 2016Food and service is AMAZING!! and the view...can't bet the view, overlooking the city from 37 floors up! Highly recommend for dinner, drinks, and atmosphere
JenniferSeptember 27, 2013The food is fantastic but truffled flat bread and the short rib are to die for! Great views of the city are an added bonus. Well worth the price!
Courtney KetchenDecember 27, 2012My brother works here! We went to try the food and it is amazing. Chef sent us many complementary dishes to taste, all were excellent. Incredible service.
Sa Rah GFebruary 11, 2012The thing tht ws right on my plate ws the broccoli.sthing so simple yt done right. The layers of flavors were delicate n savory yt nt offending the natural flavors of the broc. Only thing done right!
Betsy SteplerJanuary 24, 2015Lobster Mac and cheese, lobster bisque, steak, warm vanilla cake all amazing!
Philadelphia MagazineSeptember 14, 2011A great place to see and not be seen. Incredible city views but inside it's dark enough that you'll pretty much be in total privacy. Which is good for all kinds of awkward scenarios, like breakups! Read more
PatOctober 15, 2017Cool space obviously... little old school. Steak house vibe. Definitely not vegetarian friendly per the menu, although they’ll offer to modify dishes
Brandon CainFebruary 21, 2015Excellent view of the city. Small bar and lounge area. Great choice for a romantic dinner. Check on sunset times
Marjie WAugust 31, 2012Check what time sunset is on the day you want to go and make reservations for 30 minutes before. Ask for a window table. We were accommodated and had a lovely sunset.
ConciergeJanuary 19, 2011The entire restaurant is one big view of the city. Currently, there is nothing higher for the public to enjoy. They now serve lunch M-F so no need to wait till 530. And Fri, Sat, Sun is now BYO!
Kyle CrossJuly 8, 2013Everything here is amazing. Lobster Mac and flatbread are must haves with your meal. Best view of Philly.
DevonJune 27, 2011Great for lunch and not crowded if you get here by noon. Order the short-rib/ribeye cheesesteak. Served open faces with knife and fork so it's not messy.
Edgar SarmientoNovember 1, 2015Very touristy but happy hour prices are super cheap and sunset views are nice too.
Filly ChatterFebruary 3, 2011"Great food, amazing service, and gorgeous view makes this restaurant good for dates or just going somewhere nice with your friends." Hit 'More Info' for more reviews by university students. Read more
Lobster Mac and Chz is out of this world!
melindaMay 7, 2011The short rib dish is incredible and the view is breath taking. It's an experience that is well worth every penny!!!
Brian MullinsApril 7, 2012Great view...Watch the cost of drinks. The cost of a shot of cognac is equivalent to the price of buying a bottle!!!
Larisa GrollemondNovember 16, 2015Mediocre drinks at best, but the view of the city and the scene-y people-watching are well worth paying the bar/lounge a visit.
Right now, you're 500 feet above Center City. Go ahead and tell your date that during any awkward silences.
Good view of the city when the weather is permitting. Expensive food but still pretty tasty. Nothing crazy special though we go there more for the view and drinks.
Dave WezAugust 30, 2011Great view of the city, great place for late night drinks, try the Loree Jones cocktail
Lisa BlancoJuly 10, 2013Note @Concierge, BYO by prearrangement only, on any day. There is a corkage fee.
Sun KissedJanuary 24, 2017Lacks attention to detail. Dirty bar glasses, plates were hot or even warm. Food did not seem to be cooked fresh. The Shrimp appetizer, risotto balls and lobster (bland) entrees all mediocre.
Melissa HOctober 1, 2011Stop in between lunch and dinner and order the sliders...the view is all yours...- Shawna WillsNovember 7, 2010Darlene recommended the Short Ribs, which were beyond wonderful. The Loree's Jones cocktail was smashing.
Jeff GibbardDecember 15, 2010Truffled flat bread...don't miss it. And crisp cheese risotto...don't miss it.
