Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Anthony Bonett

From the OpenTable editors: One of Philadelphai's most unique dining experiences, Moshulu brings diners aboard the deck of a more-than-century-old ship that's been docked on the Delaware for upscale seafood since 1996. The landmark restaurant, featured in movies like "Rocky" and "The Godfather Part II," serves up standout dishes like an “Admiral’s Plateau” of oysters, crab mac and cheese, and lobster frites.

    The entire dining experience was terrific. We had a window view looking out over the river with everything lit up in green lights. Service was very attentive and the food, from the salad to the main entrees, was terrific. Will definitely return.

    This is a solid place for brunch. My only complaint is the bagel chips on the smoked salmon tower are so thin they immediately fall apart. Not real world problems but a problem none the less. Everything we had was solid and I would recommend it.

    Paid for the NYE VIP firework experience, which included a reserved table, drinks, buffet, and passed hors d’oeuvres. The buffet was good but we kept getting the wrong drinks were passed by much of the staff passing out hors d’oeuvres. Not sure if certain staff were supposed to pass to certain areas but we had a few stop before our section of tables and never saw those options come to our area at all. Others quickly walked past just yelling out if anyone wants the hors d’oeuvres and were gone before anyone could really respond. In total we had only been served about half of what we saw going around. After we got another round of wrong drinks we decided to ask for new ones and in return we got more champagne despite us not drinking the ones we already had at the table followed by the wrong drink again. I’m sure the bar was busy but getting the wrong drinks multiple times is excessive, especially when we only ordered from the list of the five new years cocktails, never even managed to get one of them after three tries. At several points when we returned to our table we had strangers in our seats and had to ask them to leave which was surprising since we still had our drinks and some food at the table. Saw this happen to others as well and staff had to be called to get their table back from other people. Overall it felt like an unorganized mess and a waste of money. Would’ve been a better experience to have eaten elsewhere and then came for the fireworks at the lower price option.

    We heard so many great things about the food , I guess because it was a buffet, it was subpar. We also paid VIP pricing for a table for the evening, which was taken away at 10pm. I'm genuinely disappointed that we paid extra for the dinner and table, and both were not worth it. The regular ticket for just the party and open bar was probably a better deal.
