Been here several times and every time it's amazing. The food, the service, the atmosphere (provided you're not looking for quiet and cozy!) are top notch!

• Steak • Center City
Booked 100 times today
Our overall experience was absolutely excellent a definite 10/10! Everything about this restaurant exceeded our expectations, from the food and ambience to the service. We were greeted by the hostess, who welcomed us with a smile and took our coats. The atmosphere was incredibly comfortable and inviting, with beautiful dim lighting, great music, and lovely painting on the walls that I really enjoyed looking at. Once seated, we were served complimentary bread, and it was absolutely delicious! It was so good that we had to ask for seconds. The bread was soft and practically melted in your mouth, and the sweet, flavorful butter was the perfect addition. For appetizers, we ordered the Caesar salad and crab cake and both were a 10/10. For my entree, I had the ribeye with mac and cheese. The steak was so juicy and cooked exactly as requested. Every bite was delicious! We were too full to order dessert, but since we were celebrating our anniversary, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary dessert, which was also delicious. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a lovely way to end the evening. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food, service, atmosphere, and attention to detail made for a wonderful dining experience. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would absolutely return!

We had a lovely pre-theater meal! The food and service were great, and everything was timed perfectly so we could enjoy our meal and still make it to the theater on time. Highly recommend!

• Seafood • Center City
Booked 53 times today
We hadn’t eaten at The Oyster House in years, and much to our surprise, it was excellent in every way. Our server was friendly and very helpful in every way from drinks to desserts. We came for lobster rolls to compare them to Portland, Maine, where we had recently traveled and where the lobster rolls are phenomenal for freshness and large chunks of pure succulent lobster meat. But we must say that the lobster rolls are equally as excellent as any we ate in Maine, much better than we expected! And the homemade shoestring fries were perfectly cooked as well. We’d recommend this restaurant highly to anyone looking for a truly authentic seafood experience!

Went out on a limb and ended up at Bellini’s after my previous reservations had to be cancelled. Happy Hour deals were great! The portions were huge even for happy hour deals. The food was delicious the waiters and staff were so nice! Would definitely recommend and go back. Recommend the Caesar Salad for happy hour and any of their happy hour drinks. The mussels were also delicious and a great steal for happy hour.

Incredible. I’ve been trying to get here for a while but never found a convenient reservation time. Today was the day! The seasonal dishes were spectacular. My friend and I had such a great early dinner- we received full attention from staff and the noise level was quieter, even at the counter. Highly recommend.
