I came here by bus for dinner on a Monday evening in late June 2022. The reservation said only patio seating was available but their entire dining room was empty and allowed for indoor seating if you desired. Their entire menu is tapas style while the last two sections are "more substantial entrees/tapas".I ordered three Nova Scotia and three Velvet Sea Oysters but since only one Velvet Sea Oyster was available, I substituted two of them with Barstool Cocktail Oysters. They were all delicious. I also got the Yellowfin Tuna Crudo, which was also very nice but it didn't wow me.I then had their Cacio E Pepe pasta which was also just okay and did not wow me. I then had the Grilled Octopus which was also just okay. It was pretty bland even though it was cooked very well. The entire dish needed seasoning. I even had to ask for lemon wedges, which only helped mildly.I will say however, that the Oysters were shucked very well. The service was also very good. Those are the only redeeming qualities though. Don't go out of your way for this place. If you do, don't order anything I did except for maybe the Oysters.
Easy to say the food was amazing, drinks were spectacular but the best part for me was the service. I travel a lot for work, spoiled by growing up in Austin with a service filled town I have struggled to find what I personally feel is overwhelmingly good service from staff.The food is stunning so far everything we’ve had in both visits this summer have made us leave saying, “actually felt welcome and worth every penny spent”
Seafood now, not meat. So good.
Sat at the upstairs bar for happy hour and had a lovely dinner with my husband! Everything we had was fantastic - oysters, salad, mussels, pasta. Don't skip on the duck! Plus the service was great! Bartender was so helpful and friendly. We'll definitely be back soon.
While out to Philly for business, we were told this place is a must go. We completely agree. Jason the bartender and Claudia were awesome and the Sugar Shack oysters were some of the best I’ve ever eaten.
Kensington Quarters is the place to eat! The food is AMAZING! Exceptional service and timely food arrival! If you’re unsure of what to order, they give outstanding recommendations! Will be coming back to eat here again (recommending the oysters :) Recommend all your friends to dine here! It’s a dining experience you will never forget!
One of the most terrific dining experiences I have ever had. From the minute we entered we were greeted by the welcoming and sincere staff, the excellent selection of cocktails, the succulent oysters, and delectable main courses! The pappardelle was one of the best dishes I ever had in my life
Forget the basics. Start with the crude or raw oysters, enjoy the homemade pasta dishes, then the cheese selection and complete it with the shake wing or pork loin & Salted Caramel dessert
Great food. The descriptions on the menu do not begin to describe how awesome those items are!
Phenomenal food and service. Ate outdoors and they did a custom wine tasting for us. Outstanding!
