Philadelphia, PA 19103

Chad T. writes: Wine, beer and cheese?

The figs were…

Philadelphia, PA 19106

ericalynn g. writes: Buddakan, dear.... you're like a large old man driving a bright red Miata. Your food is pretty great. Why do you have to put such a tiny portion on the plate? Why make your patrons pay an exorbitant fee when we're not getting the bang for our…

Philadelphia, PA 19106

Viv C. writes: As my final dining experience on my Philadelphia vacation/trip, boy, did I go out with a bang. (So to speak.) I found a DEAD MOTH in my entree but I still walked away with a smile! Why? Because by finding a dead bug in my entree, I had scored the…

Monk's Cafe
Neighborhood: Rittenhouse Square

264 S 16th St

Philadelphia, PA 19104

Fork
Neighborhood: Olde City

306 Market Street
Philadelphia, PA 19106
