As a vegetarian, however, I only wish they had a more non-meat options. Brunch was delicious. Can't wait to go back for dinner. It was okay. The drinks are just average and the service was average as well. It's convenient and good enough if you just want to grab a beer with friends, but I don't drink beer.
As does their watermelon salad it was a special of the day. Wait staff were tremendous. Definitely a place you want to visit - we'll be back when next in Philly. It is a casual restaurant located on Mt. Vernon Street in the Art Museum area of Philadelphia. There is a hostess at the door to check reservations and seat patrons. Shorty after being seated I placed my purse under my chair. Unfortunately during dinner my wallet was stolen from my purse resulting in losing hundreds of dollars.
There were at least 2 people who came in and seemed out of place, a man and a woman. They lingered by the pool tables, not playing, just chalking a stick, looking around…never played pool.
The gaming tables although in a separate area from the dining tables are clearly visible from both the dining area and the hostess stand.
The man, who we noticed just wandering around eventually sat behind me at an empty table with his head down appearing to be talking on his phone. We assumed this MUST have been an employee on break because we did not think anyone could easily walk in unnoticed and sit down at an empty table. He was there for quite a while with no one questioning him. During the time he was at the table he maneuvered my purse from under my chair with his foot, grabbed my wallet and pushed my disheveled purse back under my chair.
He moved from that table ONLY when a family came in who was seated there by the hostess. It was at that moment he was beckoned by his accomplice that was standing directly in front of the hostess stand to hurry and leave. I share responsibility for not being more suspicious, for thinking I could relax and have a nice dinner with my family. After leaving several frantic phone messages early Monday morning, the manager, Ryan Browning, called me at 3pm Monday.
He offered me a vague apology in an effort to pacify me. He stated employees had noticed these people acting peculiar however they were "too busy" taking care of their patrons to act on it quickly. The management has no interest in what occurred.
Shame on them! We liked the food. Otherwise not a great experience. Tables are very close together so you can't help eavesdropping on your neighbors and vice versa. Server was very nice but overwhelmed and didn't check in often.
Great food. Great crowd. Love this restaurant. Went there this weekend for my birthday and the food was great and a reasonable price. Definitely one of my favorite spots to eat in Philly. A thoroughly delightful dinner, though a little noisy due to the number of families with children who were therebut it was fun to see the kiddies enjoying themselves! Not only was the service terrible, the food was disgusting. If you're looking for "unordinary" versions of normal American food with a focus on pork, then I guess this is your place.
Half of our table did not have utensils, and after asking the server 3 times for utensils he brought out the food without giving us our utensils. I literally had to snag them from the table next to us after being so fed up. We also noticed our server "chilling" and watching the basketball game that was playing at the bar. We are usually not people to complain to the restaurant manager, but when we let the server know how disappointed we were in the quality of the food he started arguing with us saying "well that's what you ordered.
When the manager came over he discussed they were not expecting this many people in the restaurant even though it was the weekend of Penn and Temple's graduation, as well as the Susan G. Komen race for the cure. He apologized for the service and asked that we'd come in again to experience "better service," which is hilarious because we were so disgusted with the food we would never step foot back in this restaurant. The only thing our party enjoyed out of the entire meal was the fries.
Thus, if you do go here, just save yourself and only order the fries. Bring a flashlight and get ready to scream at the people sitting across from you! The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious We did not have the best experience here celebrating my husbands birthday.
It took at least 20 minutes for drinks and nearly an hour to get our food. I am not sure what was going on with our orders but they were not being executed properly. When my kids steaks finally came out, they were cold.
But no one ever came back so we couldn't notify a server! The rest of our meal came 10 minutes after that. It was kind of a disaster. That being said, they were very nice and comped part of our check. I would actually go back there again as it was good.
I think they had an off night, service wise but I would give it another chance! I was quite disappointed in this restaurant. My hopes were up given it is a Vetri scion. My companion and I shared a dozen oysters. They were perfectly clean tasting but very bland. OK, that was the type of oyster offered.
But, then I had the "cheese steak" with a house salad. Both were very mediocre. The cheese sauce was almost tasteless, the pork sausage was OK but the pretzel bun overwhelmed it. The best part of the dinner was the soft-serve mixture for desert--a great dream-cycle. Oh, and though we asked for oyster forks twice they never appeared. My companion had the white bean "humus", which was also bland and almost tasteless. When he ordered some bread, we were told they didn't have any.
The restaurant, which opened in February , seemed to be an outlier in Urban's restaurant portfolio. A representative said Alla Spina — the hard-rocking, graffitoed Italian gastropub off North Broad Street that was part of the Vetri empire that Urban Outfitters acquired in late — would close after brunch Sunday, Jan.
The restaurant, which opened in February , seemed to be an outlier in Urban's restaurant portfolio — not scalable as Pizzeria Vetri, Amis, and Terrain. The other former Vetri restaurant, Osteria , is being sold to chef Jeff Michaud and restaurateur Michael Schulson in a deal announced last week.
