by Peter S. on The food is not what you'd expect at a dinner/show. The food is amazing. Best salmon, noodles, tuna around. And the girls are beautiful and very talented.
by Junkfoodie Q. on 3.75 stars. Ordered the cheeseburger (with American cheese) and added bacon and avocado. Also shared the garlic bay fries. The burger came our rarer than I thought (I wasn't asked to specify how I wanted it cooked), a little overcooked on the outside and too undercooked for my taste on the inside. The generous serving of fresh avocado (major bonus points) and crispy bacon pieces were great additions! The soft, fluffy bun had almost too many sesame seeds for me. The fries were shoe-string and crispy, with just the right amount of garlic. You order food at the bar in front and then they'll call out your order at the back. They also serve ribs, steak, pizza, seafood (lobster, salmon, mussels), etc. Great place to grab food, enjoy live music and view of the river...we sat at the top of the tugboat to enjoy the weather...until it suddenly turned nippy =( But I'll definitely be back!!
by Kara Arunachalam on Since I'm not a fan of Monks - I like Grace. The atmosphere is a bit less cave-esque. The beer on tap is fairly genaric, but not bad (genaric as in Lager, Yards, Dogfish head - as opposed to Bud, Bud light, yak, yak, yak) but the bottle selection is quite eclectic, tasty, and slightly pricey - but no more so than the Foodery, the only non-bar you'll find these guys in in Philly. Food's pub+ food... that gastro-pub type thing that's going around. The staff is a kick. Sadly, the clientele seems less and less diverse... maybe it's that monstrocity of urbanity - Naval Square that's finally being populated. Oh, and the Neighborhood is Devil's Pocket! Don't let the realtors YUPify the vernacular. I'd add... in my all things hated of Monks, the same bottles of beer are more reasonably priced at Grace - even if they share the same owner.
