    Pastry board is full of wonderful things. Pancakes were fantastic but don't order anything additional as they're massive and heavy. Also casually the best bathroom I've ever used, public or private.

    The server told us the menu is seasonal, but everything I ate was amazing. I highly recommend The Backpacker, The Trio and Huevos Rancheros. I'll come back here on my next visit. Ask to sit outside!

    Charming restaurant with good food, but certain portions are small. Avocado toast, marinated cucumber, and the savory steak and egg bowl were great. On avg. $22-24/ brunch entrée

    My favorite restaurant in Philly. Expect farm-to-table & creative dishes, an ever-changing menu and a romantic setting. Ask for dish recs. I'm a fan of everything, from the bread to the cheese.

    A game of musical chefs has not diminished the seasonal menu, and the knowledgeable servers do a great job explaining interesting cheese boards with names like "Not Your Granny's" and "Secret Stash." Read more

    curry tuna app was yummy but 2 small pieces of fish on top of delicious veggies &yummy dressing. Lamb app was tasty. The garden bouillabaisse was small& too fishy flavored. Duck breast &confit decent.

    Fresh is the best way to describe Talula's followed by ambient, followed by delicious. Highly recommend it if you are ever in Philadelphia!

    Great food and drink selection. Lots of tables inside and a lot of outdoor seating. Good for KOL dinners but can get loud inside later in the evening.

    You won’t go wrong! Meat lovers can’t miss the tender sliced hangar steak. The chocolate pudding tart also comes highly recommended. Skip the pricey cheese plates unless you’re a connoisseur. Read more

    When the weather’s good, a glass of wine, a board of cheese, the setting sun and a constant breeze make this the quickest and most beautiful escape in Philadelphia.

    Yet another Starr property that feels like a completely unique space. Excellent food. Try the cheese plates and the Bluefish, Scallops or Swordfish.

    They have solid cocktails. Skip the ribs; very fatty and heavy. Tuna crudo and fried oysters were great.
