by Miss M. on This is my go-to place when I am in Philly. It's a great place to go with a group of people and get a bunch of plates to share. Also, it's been a few years but brunch here was always good. Prices are great. Last time we went (about a month ago) with another couple (so there was four of us), ordered pretty much everything we thought of (like 5 courses), drank non-stop and each ordered a dessert and the bill was barely $200 pre-tip. They don't take reservations (and I know SS, I have tried to finagle my way to a table -- sleazy, I know) so be prepared to wait. Just grab a seat at one of the bars (awesome cocktail list) and hang out till your table is ready. Order some hummus, it will make it go faster. The roof bar is an excellent option when there's a long wait. Service is a little sub-par. But you don't go here for the service. You go here for the ambiance and a cool place to catch up with friends and sample tons of food. Some don't misses: - French onion soup dumpling - Hummus - BBQ Chicken quesadilla - Lobster Mac n cheese (def. good for sharing, I could never stomach an entire order!) - Cheesesteak eggroll - Filet Also: I don't see all the hype with the calamari salad? Doesn't do much for me.
