A really neat place in the heart of downtown Philly, located in an old bank building. We had a business lunch with 5 of us total (all male), we fit in very nicely in suit and tie, and really enjoyed the experience. It was the customers choice.

The wait staff (let me see how to say this PC) was stunning, fish net stockings and very beautiful....in addition, they were friendly and service was excellent. Drinks were served in small glasses, but were always full, salads/apps were right out, and presentation was great.

Has a great, friendly, warm atmosphere. Very conductive to a business meeting/presentation. Easy to hear each other, other tables were near by (but on top of us), we could have a conversation but not feel like everyone else could.

When served our entrees a VERY FUNNY thing happened to my partner - he took a bit of his burger and it "exploded" and juice shot onto his white dress shirt. Everyone at the table laughed and the server was right on it, she brought over club soda and one of those bleach sticks immediately. When the manager realized what had happened, he came right over and insisted on paying for the dry cleaning, when my buddy resisted, he said he insisted because "that's what we do". What GREAT SERVICE, with all the travel I do it is the best insistence of going above and beyond to ensure satisfaction. Well done.

We had to leave earlier than our customers due to another appointment, we were probably there for an hour, but it didn't seem like it.

How about the food? Unbelievable sesame bread served first, so good we ate 4 loafs, customer next to me devoured the crab cakes as an app (he would have licked the plate for sure if he could get away with it), and the entrees were great. Squirting burger looked excellent, i had the steak sand and it was pretty plain (without onions or peppers) but steak was great, customer had steak salad and an entire piece of steak was on top, and other two had medallions which looked awesome.

Expensive, but well worth it. Did I mention how great the wait staff looks????/
