I enjoy the atmosphere, food is very good, loved everything I’ve tried so far & Erik Q made it a pleasant/fun experience and the music is fabulous…love that you’ve kept the original building and went with cool vintage but comfortable decor…

Very friendly and food was delicious

Some of the best food in the city. Consistent quality and relaxed service. Wine list is stellar, with some Italian vineyards you don't see very often. Amaro list is extensive and the staff know what they taste like and can recommend - they do a flight! The garden is a great space if you can get a seat in good weather.

What a genuinely great experience. I went here with coworkers one night for dinner and had an excellent meal. The buratta ravioli was fantastic, as was the fried octopus. I’ve had octopus prepared a number of different ways 1 but nothing as unique as this. Amazing.

Amazing food! The ambience is much even better. The bar is probably the best seating area in the restaurant. My favorite spot in Fishtown for sure!

It's a nice place with very good cocktails and pizza! The octopus small plate was excellent as well. If you decide to sit in the garden, beware of the wind... Service was good too, but they forgot a couple of items that we ordered, so I'm removing a star. When we accidentally spilled a drink, it was replenished for free.

Great ambiance, delicious seasonal plates shared family style. Drink parings and desserts were also delicious.It was loud inside when crowded, making it difficult to hear conversations at the table without yelling. Our server was efficient and effective, but didn’t add any extra to the experience. Was slightly cold, and even basic small talk was not welcomed.

Excellent service and the recommendations on cocktails was spot on. Tasty and pleasant presentation of dishes. Ample portions to share. Quiet, clean and appealing environment. Enjoyed our experience.

We had a reservation for 9:30pm and arrived minutes before. We waited shortly to be seated. The place was crowded, loud, and busy but the ambience was nice. The tables were really close to each other which we didn’t care for but it wasn’t anything that could be done about that.Our plates and napkins and table were clean and our server was ok. She was just there to do her job but no extraordinary service or anything. The kitchen staff who delivered our food to the table thoroughly explained each dish as they dropped off.We started with the Yellowfin Tuna Crudo for the small plate and for me it just didn’t taste as fresh as I would’ve liked. Almost like it shouldn’t have been used but was used just before it went completely bad. The dressing that accompanied the tuna was maybe a vinaigrette, which we did like.My entree came out in decent time. I ordered the Chili Marinated Mahi Mahi. My food wasn’t anything worth raving about and tasted like they played it safe as far as seasonings. The dish also wasn’t accompanied with any sides; just a plate of fish and unseasoned peppers.My husband’s entree came out way later than mine. By time his plate arrived to the table, I was nearly finished mine. Our server did come to let us know his food was coming and the kitchen staff were apologetic about taking as long.Husband ordered the gnocchi. I barely could see any lobster in it and it was just blah.The entrees weren’t flavorful at all.As far as cocktails, we decided on theTropic like it’s hot and Cyn and Juice. Both cocktails were really delicious and if I returned, it would solely be for their drinks that are a little pricey.We did an apple crostata for desert. It was doable. If it had been hotter it could have been better. Compared to other apple crostata I’ve had, I wouldn’t put theirs at the top of my list. It’s wasn’t good enough to satisfy my Apple crostata craving, but it wasn’t the worst.We also tried the chocolate profiteroles. I’m not a mousse fan so I didn’t enjoy this dessert. Husband gave it an “alright”.All in all, the restaurant isn’t a huge disappointment but it didn’t met the expectation and isn’t on our list of returns.
