Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Chestnut Hill

Good food and nice atmosphere. Great food options. The Brussel sprouts app was delicious.

This was my first holiday dining out since I lost my mother who was my every holiday expert cook and host. At Sullivan’s Steakhouse, I received outstanding service, and I had an excellent dining experience. My server Maurice was thorough and provided me and my guest with a superior level of personalized service. The food was prepared as requested, seasoned well and five stars delicious. The atmosphere was wonderful. It was at a good holiday celebration noise level. And the few children I observed as present were well mannered and dressed nicely for the occasion. The manager Michael Pons Jr. was hands-on and very attentive to his restaurant guests. He made me feel like a valued customer. I left Sullivan’s Steakhouse feeling fantastic, so much so, that before turning in that night I made reservations for New Year’s Eve dining.

We love this neighborhood gem. The food is always delicious. We are grateful for amazing service on Christmas Eve, many thanks! The wine selection is fantastic. Any seafood meal is always a hit.

Steak 48 in Philadelphia delivers a truly exceptional dining experience, blending impeccable food with outstanding service. Appetizers: We started with the Meatball, which was tender and flavorful. The sauce was a standout, earning it a solid 4/5 rating. However, the real star of the appetizers was the Oysters, particularly the Glacier Point variety. Fresh, briny, and perfectly complemented by a punchy horseradish, they were unforgettable—a full 5/5. Entrees: The Bone-In Filet was cooked to perfection, with a rich, juicy flavor that highlighted the quality of the cut. The Butcher’s Cut Ribeye was equally impressive—well-seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor. Steak lovers will not be disappointed here. Service: Shannon was an absolute delight. Her incredible energy, deep knowledge of the menu, and attentive service elevated the entire meal. She’s a true asset to the restaurant and made our anniversary unforgettable. Steak 48 Philly is a must-visit for anyone craving a high-end steakhouse experience. Between the fantastic food and stellar service, it’s a place we have and will continue to return to.

It was a phenomenal experience! We'll be recommending this to our friends in Philly and will likely be back. We did the 12-course omakase and were blown away. Leo was great!
