Where is the Best Outdoor Dining in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania?
I like Rouge, but this place honestly isn?t for everyone. It has all the things you?d think of with a Rittenhouse scene, both good and bad. It seems like the crowd there could get a little pretentious, but I didn?t find that to be the case with the patrons or the staff when I had dinner there with my mom recently. In fact, two women seated next to us struck up a great conversation with us when they overheard us discussing politics. And our waitress was exceptionally friendly. The prices are a little high on some items, like the $16 burger, but my mom said it was the best burger she?s ever had. I had salmon in an oxtail sauce that was perfectly cooked. Amazing, actually. The bottom line is, whether you?re the type to frequent this spot or make it a special occasion visit, the food is great and it?s a chic little place.Pros + great food, located on the square, it’s part of the rittenhouse scene (if that’s your thing)Cons – it’s part of the rittenhouse scene (if that’s not you
I have been to Albertos for many occasions from a romantic dinner for two in the wine cellar to a banquet held for 50. Each experierence has been better then the previous. The food is excellent!!!!! The location is perfect. The dining rooms are beautiful and the service was impeccable EVERY TIME! They will make you anything you want if it is within the realm of possibility. Lastly, the price was right too. You don’t pay for a dinner and leave hungry there the portions are more than generous and that goes for the martinis as well. I suggest you go dinner and for sunday brunch and try the wine they produce themselves.Pros + all good
Positano Coast is one of my favorite Old City restaurants due to the relaxing atmosphere and attentive wait staff. Upon entering the establishment on Saturday, we were told there were no tables available, however there was availability in the lounge. Never having been to that section of the restaurant before– I thought we were heading for a seat at a bar—but I was pleasantly surprised when we were escorted to a room full of couches, cushy chairs and candles galore! I was drawn in by the warmth of the room and instantly knew it was going to be a great dining experience. The calamari is outstanding- perfectly fried and amazingly full of flavor. The Chicken Rollatini was also incredible–the accompanying sauce highlighted the chicken and made for an excellent entree.What I love the most about Positano Coast is the wine with peaches—a carafe of wine with peaches at the bottom giving a hint of fruit flavor to enhance the body of the spirit….truly spectacular. I highly recommend Po
