Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Rittenhouse Square

Thia is the second time we've dined here. We started with a bowl of the delicious tomato basil and the calamari. We had the soup on our first visit, and it didn't disappoint this time either. The calamari was a bit spicy, but it was very tasty. I tried the cheese steak (only because I haven't eaten one yet this trip) tasty but not one you search out for. My wife had the grilled chicken breast, very nice. My daughter enjoyed the vegetable capaillnini with shrimp. Great service and ambiance. Definitely stop in again next time we're in Philadelphia.

The chicken parm was INCREDIBLE! And the food came out so fast. Service was attentive and quick. We’ll definitely be back!

We enjoyed Chez Colette's Thanksgiving Buffet today. Included were sufficient choices to satisfy the glutton and the gourmet. Among the star dishes were a pheasant pâté, the pastrami salmon, and all the desserts (the bite-sized bûche de Noël, the pumpkin verrine, the chocolate and orange tartelette, and the pecan-bourbon pie were particular hits). Less impressive, in my opinion, though still good, were the "chicken pâté" (note omission of the word 'liver' though it was a chicken liver pâté) which needed something to kick it up (providing mustard would have helped) and the squash soup which needed a bit more cream; lacking cream, I added salt which helped a bit. The service was superbly attentive; the noise level very comfortable for quiet conversation. The bistro decor is in keeping with the brasserie theme. The price for the meal (we took advantage of an early bird special) was very reasonable. Even without that discount, I would say that this Thanksgiving buffet is worth the price.

Incredible flavors, outstanding food. Our waiter, Alex, was super knowledgeable and helpful.

Great atmosphere, wonderful service Nd amazing food!
