Philly Broadcaster: Vegetarian and vegan options are abundant here, but if you like some red in your diet try the open face bison burger (mid-rare). Its a crafty and delicately balanced take on an American classic.
washer: Bison burger is yum.
Food Network: Brunch is a big hit here; it stars apple ricotta pancakes, smoked salmon latkes and, if you can score one, beautiful outdoor tables in the side courtyard. Via CityEats.com Read more.

Raj Sarma: I highly recommend the calamari appetiser. The bison burger was really good, but the some of the onions actually had skin on them, not a big deal, but felt a little sloppy.
Thrillist: Never get bored: The menu here is happily in flux, changing w/ seasonal availabilities & at the chef's whims. Fun suds include local drafts Flying Fish Farmhouse Summer Ale & Dock Street’s Rye IPA. Read more.
Philadelphia Magazine: After a couple cocktails at the bar, being here is like drinking in a cloud of cotton candy and beautiful people.

RC: The Drinks are fantastic. Trying the Bao buns and pasta! You won't miss the meat. They do it really well here. They recommend 3 tapas dishes per person, I say 2 people could eat 5.
Kathy Toomey: Great place! Good ambience, delicious food, tasty drinks, wonderful service
Abby K: Very small portions but excellent menu. We came with 5 people but it's probably best with a smaller crowd. Again, the food was amazing, just small.
