Ashley Knight: Loved the special pie with asparagus and the #3 (but spicy). Also heard good things about the cheese pie with pepperoni. Must get the ice cream too! Caesar salad and red cat cheese were good as well
Sandra Rubinchik: The #2 is a garlicky, wonderful delight. The greens get so crisp and ughhhh the garlic.
Will Harahan: The best thing I ate on my trip to Philly. The “special” pie was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had.

What's Good Here: Great location overlooking Rittenhouse Square. Order the jumbo lump crab cakes service w/ whipped yukon gold potatoes and grilled asparagus. Be sure to check-in - calamari is often free if you do.
Emily Farricker: Lobster Mac N’ Cheese with asparagus on the side. Need I say more? No.
Catherine Wroclawski: The appetizers we had were all great. I highly recommend the steamed clams and the goat cheese bruschetta. The mixed seafood grill is excellent and the portion is a good size.

Sam Yoon: Try the Ensalada Verde - Green salad, asparagus, Gavaskar, avocado, and green beans
Hannah GM: This is one of my favorite restaurants in Philly! Try some of the cured meats, garlic shrimp, flatbreads, fideos made with calamari, and the lamb meatballs.... but, honestly, everything is great here.
Eater: While Garces isn't in the kitchen, much of the menu is still full of his spirit. Even though it opened in 2005, getting a reservation is still a challenge 7 years later. [Eater 38 Member]
