Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in South Street

Great food and music. Service was a tad slow for a Wednesday night with empty tables around us, but that wouldn't deter me from returning. Fried lobster, crab tater tots, and gumbo were delicious. I highly recommend those. Brussel sprouts were very good. Beet salad was okay. I ended up taking that home and adding some goat cheese crumbles to it. The beet salad needed something more for me to thoroughly enjoy it, but the beets themselves were very good. The cheese I added at home gave it the pop I needed. The key lime parfait was also okay. It was more like a key lime pudding overall, despite the graham cracker crust underneath, which had great flavor. I think of a parfait with more evenly distributed layers, but it was a huge amount of key lime pudding, a thin layer of graham cracker crust on the bottom and a nice dolop of whipped cream on top. It was okay, but just not my idea of a traditional parfait. Hopefully the service next time is a little quicker, but I will definitely return.

Seating was very nice and accommodating. Juan was great and attentive, compliments to the chef.

Customer Service was amazing. Food was warm and delicious.

One of my favorite and most underrated food and wine experiences in Philadelphia..

Almanac is a beautiful space, with patient and knowledgeable service, and a thoughtfully tailored drink menu of seasonal ingredients used in ways that highlight the maximum beauty and deliciousness of each fruit, vegetable, and spirit. A hidden treasure to be visited again and again!
