1. Bibou
Didn't expect Bibou to live up to the hype. Surprisingly it did. Copious wine bottles in tow we arrived for our very early seating. When Saturday reservations fill up a month in advance, you take what you can get. Really small restaurant, almost…More »
2. Sola
One of the first places we'd visited when we started really diving into the food scene, and it was amazing. Many restaurants later we decided to return, and I was wondering to myself "Is Sola for realsies, or were we just inexperienced?" (I have an…More »
3. Little Fish
Now at the corner of Fitzwater & 6th, Little Fish is about as large on taste as it is small on space. Simple decor and the gentle sizzle of meals in progress sauntering from the open kitchen build your anticipation for what's to come.
Menu is…More »
4. Nectar
Fusion makes me wary. The descriptions sound so good that you're expecting a culinary Kristin Kreuk on your plate. However, the beautiful meal of your mind's eye never comes to be as you sadly hunch over and pick at the Frankenstein creation of…More »
5. Mica Restaurant
Philadelphia, PA 19118

American (New)
Neighbourhood: Chestnut Hill
Finally. Chestnut Hill needed this restaurant.
We've had a couple great experiences. Nice decor, and the table spacing feels less claustrophobic than Blackfish.
Chimay Grande Reserve. So very good. Thank you monks. Also a decent wine and cocktails…More »
6. Honey
I don't generally get too excited about the Doylestown food scene, but Honey is one exception. Subtly enticing from the outside, the honey inspired atmosphere could easily hang with the center city crowd inside. Lots of privacy for such a tiny…More »

American (New)
Neighbourhoods: Washington Square West, Market East
I like Talula's. The ideal situation for a Starr restaurant, an already successful small scale restauranteur with a strong theme for him to run wild on. The atmosphere is excellent. High ceiling high class farmhouse, modern lines and surrealistic…More »

Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center
Good, solid BYO. Very lively atmosphere.
The lamb's neck cavatelli appetizer was probably everyone's favorite, though I thought the Foie Gras was deliciously above the norm. Mustard seeds were a good complement to it, and really the entire…More »
9. Heirloom Fine American Cookery
Philadelphia, PA 19118
(215) 242-2700
Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Chestnut Hill
Heirloom surprised me. I only realized it existed a couple days before actually going. Turns out it's a polished BYOB right next to Wine & Spirits. Dining room is obviously a complete overhaul and has a sophisticated outdoors feel.
Menu casts an…More »
10. Spring Mill Cafe
Exceed ALL the expectations!
That is the crux of our experience here. From the moment we first pulled into the awkward parking lot I had a feeling we were in for a good meal. Warm and inviting, the atmosphere is begging you to contribute a great…More »
