    The quality of the food is quite high, but the place looks as if it opened in the 1990s and has not changed since. Loud acoustics worsened by Muzak. Service is quite pretentious, but haphazard. Wine selections are quite limited and mediocre. Come for the food and ignore the rest.

    Not sure what happened to this place. I’ve been a customer since the concept opened with Scott in NYC. This food last night in Philly had zero finesse, literally piles of crap on the top of the proteins, poorly sliced fish and water in the bottom of my lobster dish. Not recommended and light years from the original concept.

    Always wonderful to have a seat overlooking Rittenhouse Square to go along with a great meal. The service, the seasonal vegetable salad, and the scallops were particularly notable.

    Was seated immediately, and put in drink order in reasonable time. But then took forever to get drinks and bread. Waiter mentioned bread service when pouring water then literally took about 30min to get drinks and bread while watching other tables have 2 servings of bread in that span. Also had to watch server check on other tables but essentially never checked on us unless he was bringing us something. So very frustrating Valentine's Day date night. Once first course came out the rest of pre fixe menu was served in a more reasonable timing, but just didn't feel that special of a dinner.

    The ambiance is quite outdated. Food was ok but no where near the one in NYC. Maybe it’s because they had a fixed menu for Valentine’s Day. Our server Ryan and Edwin were excellent.
