Best Global Restaurants in Art Museum

Mixed review for food. Shrimp scampi and calamari were excellent. Eggplant parm was disappointing - dry and presented on a plate of wilted arugula rather than what I remember as a casserole dish out of the oven which was rich, saucy and cheesy. Tiramisu was okay but not great. I think the food was better in the past. I would try them one more time and order fettuccini Alfredo which I remember being very good. Service was great.

Lovely experience all around. Ambiance was wonderful and not too loud. Food was outstanding- and waiter was extremely knowledgeable. Cheese plate was delicious. Lamb lollipop amazing and very tasty pasta. Cocktails were creative. Really enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back.

This restaurant is worth the hype; be sure to make weekend reservations way in advance (they are strict about them). The meals come as small plates, and the waiter kindly equated the first grouping of plates to being appetizers, the second grouping as main courses, and the third as sides. My husband and I ordered the carpaccio portabello mushrooms and the roasted golden beets to start. Perfectly presented and the right meld of flavors in each. For the next courses, one dish out did the next. Meat eaters will not be disappointed. We finished with a small scoop of cherry sorbet with balsamic vinegar; be sure to give it a try. We look forward to going again the next time we are in Philly.
