    It has tremendous promise as a destination, but an inexperienced kitchen struggles to realize an ambitious Medi-Mex menu that ranges from seared watermelon and baked feta to whole fish with mojo. Read more

    Excellent place for great views, very good food and a great night out. Valet park if you arrive early as there is a time limit on some spots. Also try the squid as they are known for seafood.

    We don't serve squid, we serve octopus! Completely different animal, but we take 3 days to cook it so it's really good. It's also the leanest protein humans consume! Get the octopus or lamb chops

    When you want something more than a plain old watering hole – how about a place set within the Greek-temple-like grounds of a 19th-century waterworks, looking out on the Schuylkill River.

    The bar is cozy, has interesting taxidermy and if you can, sit at the window framed by candles.

    Caribbean Cruise and Ocean Breeze drinks are great, and a terrific bartender to boot!

    Way Too expensive. Not worth it for the little you get. Very outdated and overrated. Service was slow and only attentive when convenient for them. Had to send 2 dinners back - not prepared as ordered
