Only diners can sit upstairs in the swings - and they are only 2 to a table!

Roof deck rocks. Amazing creative cocktails!
Brandy BonesMay 28, 2017
The food here is mediocre and uninventive.
Derek CarrFebruary 27, 2011
Wasn't a hit for me. 4pm on a Sunday it's no longer "brunch". All in all I felt they tried too hard to be distinctive and not hard enough on offering a variety.
Stefanie SpatolaMay 6, 2010
Best Cosmos in Philly, and just order the lobster mac & cheese!
Knah AJanuary 27, 2013
The French toast is shit. DO NOT ORDER. It in no way resembles French Toast.
Paul BennettNovember 13, 2011
Way too much milk in the cappuccino and yoghurt is sweet (yuck), but salad with feta was good
Dawain JacksonApril 10, 2012
Red pepper vodka!
Tim StreetDecember 13, 2011

Do yourself a favor and skip the Big Daddy Mac veggie burger. Nothing more than a frozen gardenburger on a bun.. Very disappointing.

Edward MartoNovember 18, 2024
Nothing to see here . Old Town Continental Ruled. This one does not! How does this place still have its doors open?

Drinks are way too expensive and it's always crowded. Not worth your time.
KevJanuary 16, 2010
Shit son, get the violet beauregard
Raheem KAugust 15, 2018
FSでは「ニューアメリカ料理」となってますが、東京流に言えば無国籍料理ということになるんでしょうか。トルコ、タイ、和食、コリアン料理のキーワードが並ぶ、一風変わったメニューです。値段もアメリカの外食にしては手頃感ありですね。
