San Antonio Guide - Philadelphia

Was here for a wedding shower. Bartenders were extremely rude for no reason. Food was pretty good but the experience was ruined. If you work in the service industry, you should at least ATTEMPT to provide good service. I understand employers have a tough time finding quality staff post pandemic but they were awful. We'll never go back.

5 star experience and service. I was very excited to come to this black owned restaurant in Philadelphia. It was me and my partner 2 year anniversary so we thought we would enjoy the live Jazz show as well. As soon as we walked it we were greeted with by warm smiling faces which made us feel very welcome. The ambience was amazing and decor was very unique We arrive about 30 minutes before the show and headed over to the bar to grab a drink before the show , the cocktails were very good and the bartender was very friendly and attentive. The bar is very small , all the seats were taken so we had to stand. Once we were seated in the jazz lounge area by our waiter he suggested somethings and went over the specials. We started off with the devil eggs and cornbread. For our entrees I had the Fried Chicken and my partner had the prime rib. Everything came out quickly and at the perfect temperature. The manager, host, waiter, and the band were phenomenal. They were even nice enough to give us a shout out and complementary dessert for our anniversary. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. The hospitality here is exceptional.

Started with corn bread which was delicious. Then for drinks we order red wine, raspberry lemon and straw Brett lemon drop and sangria which was great. Next we got Cesar salad which was good. Next for our meals there was a special menu for lamb chops and what was suppose to balsamic rice and plantains ended up receiving yellow rice plaid what a disappointment. Food was cold we had to send it back. When they bought it back from reheating it was still room temperature Then the other couple with us and had catfish and shrimp, which the shrimp is small like you buy in the frozen section in a bag of the market. Just awful. Next I got the crab cake which was great with corn and asparagus. No complications with my food. Food was a 3 ambiance was a 10. Beautiful, cozy cute place. Manager did discount the cold food half price but that was not enough but appreciated. Will I return yes but for the drinks and live band only. Oh, the service was so pretty good as well.

I loved this place so much! I’m from Las Vegas and was visiting Philly for my birthday. My man took me to this place where we sat at the bar and then went to the jazz parlor side to listen to music. Charlie, our waiter, was great and so was one of the restaurant managers. The chicken was so yummy and the cocktails too. We saw Art the Saxophonist and the evening was perfect. Highly recommend when in the city.

A trip to Philadelphia would be incomplete if we don't go to South. As usual the experience was top notch. See you next year!
