The food was insane. Had the 20 oz aged rib eye and it was so good. Wife had veal shank and tenderloin which was also really good. Great atmosphere in a high rise building. Try to get a window seat.

From his 37th-floor perch, chef Daniel Stern wins praise for his skate with fettuccine and clams, served with little necks, razor clams, a clam pizza on the side and a garlic/parsley/herb broth. Read more

If the idea of warm cake batter makes you salivate (it should), you need to take a bite out of the warm vanilla cake with caramel sauce at R2L. The ooey-gooey delight will have you wanting more! Read more

Food and service is AMAZING!! and the view...can't bet the view, overlooking the city from 37 floors up! Highly recommend for dinner, drinks, and atmosphere

The Warm Vanilla Cake with Caramel. For those who love ooey gooey caramel candy, this one’s right on so many levels. Read more

The food is fantastic but truffled flat bread and the short rib are to die for! Great views of the city are an added bonus. Well worth the price!

Go to R2L and have a great time in their lounge-like atmosphere. Grab a signature cocktail, listen to the music, and chill out on the 37th fl! Check out the view, grab a glass of wine off their exten Read more

The thing tht ws right on my plate ws the broccoli.sthing so simple yt done right. The layers of flavors were delicate n savory yt nt offending the natural flavors of the broc. Only thing done right!

Lobster Mac and cheese, lobster bisque, steak, warm vanilla cake all amazing!
Philadelphia MagazineSeptember 14, 2011
A great place to see and not be seen. Incredible city views but inside it's dark enough that you'll pretty much be in total privacy. Which is good for all kinds of awkward scenarios, like breakups! Read more

Cool space obviously... little old school. Steak house vibe. Definitely not vegetarian friendly per the menu, although they’ll offer to modify dishes
Brandon CainFebruary 21, 2015
Excellent view of the city. Small bar and lounge area. Great choice for a romantic dinner. Check on sunset times
Marjie WAugust 31, 2012
Check what time sunset is on the day you want to go and make reservations for 30 minutes before. Ask for a window table. We were accommodated and had a lovely sunset.

The entire restaurant is one big view of the city. Currently, there is nothing higher for the public to enjoy. They now serve lunch M-F so no need to wait till 530. And Fri, Sat, Sun is now BYO!

Much like Batman, only with booze, R2L turns into Bar2L every Thurs, Fri & Sat from 10PM-2AM, doling out gourmet bar food & custom cocktails like the rye/falernum/orange bitters Velvet Rope. Read more

Everything here is amazing. Lobster Mac and flatbread are must haves with your meal. Best view of Philly.
DevonJune 27, 2011
Great for lunch and not crowded if you get here by noon. Order the short-rib/ribeye cheesesteak. Served open faces with knife and fork so it's not messy.

Very touristy but happy hour prices are super cheap and sunset views are nice too.

The short rib dish is incredible and the view is breath taking. It's an experience that is well worth every penny!!!

Get there at sunset as the windows face west. Watch the sky catch fire.
Tiffany GonzalezJanuary 17, 2015
The view is absolutely amazing!
Wanda HuAugust 8, 2013
Gorgeous views of the city...and tons of "compliments from the chef" :)
Brian MullinsApril 7, 2012
Great view...Watch the cost of drinks. The cost of a shot of cognac is equivalent to the price of buying a bottle!!!
Larisa GrollemondNovember 16, 2015
Mediocre drinks at best, but the view of the city and the scene-y people-watching are well worth paying the bar/lounge a visit.
Kathleen TowerMarch 29, 2015
Ask for a table by the window when you make your reservation!
Glen GilmoreAugust 12, 2013
Go ahead. Get the flatbread. It's like a gourmet mini-pizza..

Right now, you're 500 feet above Center City. Go ahead and tell your date that during any awkward silences.

Good view of the city when the weather is permitting. Expensive food but still pretty tasty. Nothing crazy special though we go there more for the view and drinks.

TRIFECTA 37 • bombay gin, pineapple, basil, lime, and chile oil

Great view of the city, great place for late night drinks, try the Loree Jones cocktail

Both the food and service were awesome! I'll definitely return!

The view, short ribs and the drinks lol

Lacks attention to detail. Dirty bar glasses, plates were hot or even warm. Food did not seem to be cooked fresh. The Shrimp appetizer, risotto balls and lobster (bland) entrees all mediocre.
Steve DeanJuly 18, 2013
best view in the city. amazing food, too.
KelseyJuly 30, 2011
The lobster and chicken tempura is incredible. And so its the french onion soup.
Melissa HOctober 1, 2011
Stop in between lunch and dinner and order the sliders...the view is all yours...
John JusticeOctober 7, 2012
Amazing, amazing, amazing. In every way.

Darlene recommended the Short Ribs, which were beyond wonderful. The Loree's Jones cocktail was smashing.
Jeff GibbardDecember 15, 2010
Truffled flat bread...don't miss it. And crisp cheese risotto...don't miss it.
