Vegetarian perspective Many great, unique vegetarian options in the pizza and pasta section. I got the allium vegetable pizza, which was so season, fresh and delicious! Cocktails were very refreshing. No vegetarian option in the sandwich section (for lunch). Fresh breads and pastries at the host stand looked amazing too, but I didn't get one. Loved being able to watch the pastry kitchen too.Great place for lunch for me and my friend! Amazing service
Dining alone, with a group or on a date, this is a perfectly comfortable, delicious, casual but elegant restaurant. Destination-worthy, award-winning burger was juicy, perfectly-cooked heaven with a pile of skinny fries, grilled onion, and gherkins on the side. Many delicious and creative salads. Vegan and vegetarian options that even carnivores would love. Pricey but bottomless iced tea. Great breads and desserts from their in-house bakery. I shopped next door at their take-away bakery and brought large perfectly sweet pecan bar, exquisite Eclat chocolates, and Taboulleh salad from the cold case back to nearby Pennsylvania Hospital on 8th St to enhance their barebones offerings. (Just a few blocks from Jefferson, also.) A city treasure inside -- but with own outside entrance -- the historic Benjamin Franklin building that was once a famed hotel, now apartments and professional offices with a special events ballroom. High Street is very high on my list for return visit!
We stopped in for a quick bite to eat before seeing a show at The Walnut Street Theater and it was a GREAT experience. The place was nicely decorated, the seating was arranged nicely. The greeter was very pleasant and welcoming. No long wait to be seated. The bartender was very pleasant smiling a lot and very knowledgeable on her drinks. We order the Margarita Pizza(although it’s called something else on the menu ) it came out hot and timely. It was delicious . 10 ‘s
The food was AMAZING!!!! The drinks were good, and pretty straight forward, nothing too fancy. The service was top tier and the atmosphere was small and quaint.
Stopped by about 10:30 on a Saturday morning for brunch. Host seated us quickly even though we didn't have a reservation. Food was amazing! Totally worth it. Fresh squeezed OJ is always a great surprise
We went for a belated mother’s day lunch. The atmosphere the service and specially the food was delicious and amazing the mix of flavors it sparkled a party in my mouth. The Tahini kale Caesar salad was so creamy and delicious the Crispy Chicken was so good and the crispiness was just the perfect addition to the salad. The Spaccatellli pasta with trumpet mushrooms made me feel like I was in Italy so so good and rich just remembering makes my mouth water.The Rosted chives lemon Parmesan pizza was delicious the dough was so so good. And the desserts were an absolute joy too eat. Definitely we will be back.
Excellent food and atmosphere, and our waiter was great. Moist of the dishes were unique, which I really enjoyed. The chef's choice menu was excellent, though the amount of food was excessive. They leave plenty of space between tables.
