Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

Ashley K. • August 14, 2021Loved the bread, tuna tartar and fresh pastas. Also the mojito-esque cocktail.

Peggy • July 9, 2018Mussels were truly phenomenal. Worth trying even if you usually don't love mussels (I was skeptical, but trusted all the rave reviews about them…).

Karin R. • August 22, 2012Try the Polenta and Eggs Basquaise - Creamy polenta with tiny bits of salt, spicy sausage and tomatoes capped off with perfectly poached eggs.

STARR Restaurants • June 17, 2011Barclay Prime's menu highlights include 24 ounce Dry Aged Porterhouse, Kobe Sliders and Kobe Beef Tartare, Lancaster County Amish Chicken and Butter Poached Lobster.

Larisa G. • October 23, 2015Any pizza with prosciutto is a good bet, and for a really indulgent dessert get the Nutella and marshmallow pizza.

Lillian N. • August 10, 2012This place was amazing. Try the duck. Best I have ever had!

Camilla K. • October 19, 2013The side salad portion was pretty big for only 4 bucks (not to mention delicious) and they gave me bread too! Perfect for a light meal.

Philadelphia Magazine • January 14, 2013While dinners at Lacroix recently went fully prix fixe, if you ask nicely you can still order individual items off the tasting menu in an à la carte fashion.

Jordan G. • February 12, 2016The avocado smash is amazing and my personal favorite is the banana bread. Grab a cup of coffee and get some work done in a nice cafe setting!

Mary L. • August 9, 2015The buns special appetizer, hwe dup bap (light and refreshing), and old boy cocktail! The bulgogi burger obviously. Wings are also great.

Monica N. • December 8, 2014I LOVE the bolognese "lasagna" with the ricotta gnocchi. I also love the snowflake rolls they give you on the side.

Katrina A. • January 15, 2019Everything is good. Just go!

Andrea C. • November 10, 2011Get the Wine Flight of the day! Worth it

Valerie B. • April 28, 2012Try the black mushroom truffle scramble!

Ray P. • March 2, 2014If ever the option to get chipotle guacamole with peanuts is presented to you, do not hesitate. Order and enjoy. It's amazing and made fresh at their guac bar!

Robyn G. • April 14, 2017With a party of 7, we had a round table in a semi-private mahogany wood-paneled section of the dining room that was terrific for talking at Sunday Brunch. Consistently good seafood!

Kristin • August 7, 2013Miles Table is excellent - great food, simple setting, gluten free rolls!

RC • December 29, 2014A "gourmet" diner. You really can't go wrong here. The salads are excellent and so are the other entrees.

Amy G. • June 17, 2019Kosher, vegan, and gluten-free? Sounds too good to be true. The soy-free options on the food menu are few and far between, but the baked goods are incredible. Try their chocolate chip cookies!

Richa • May 4, 2019Cauliflower buffalo salad on point and the half chicken gave me life

David • January 12, 2017The pork is good. The carrot fries are great. Everything is gluten-free, and they have vegan options. Everything is flavorful.

Archith M. • November 7, 2021Coffee is okay but great baked goods

ᴡ S. • November 29, 2012Chocolate croissants are a must try. Lots and lots of fluffy flaky yumminess!

G Philly F. • March 30, 2011Great drinks and friendly bartenders make this place a perfect spot to spend happy hour - or several hours. Shout out to Marcello, Rhino and Angela at the bar!

Nick T. • July 15, 2013Get the Branzino...duh, awesome food perfect staff!

Philadelphia Magazine • December 5, 2011It's like a work and party people speakeasy, but it's legal. Pen and Pencil is one of the best places to grab a drink if your job takes you into the after-hours.

Mike W. • September 9, 2016Huge menu, awesome pizza.
