My sister and I went for a late Friday dinner and we were pleasantly surprised that we didn't get end of the night service that sometimes comes with being at the end of the night. Food was delicious and the service was lovely. We will go again.
My partner and I love it! Great service, awesome food, REAL DINER PRICE (Very affordable)! We would go to many diners through out the north east and nothing compares to the service and food of Athenians =)
Do not buy the certificate, this is a deli, not a restaurant. No seating, so the gift certificate is a rip off. However, the food was excellent and the service was friendly
My wife and I celebrated our 22nd anniversary on 11/19/2010 at Relish and it was a wonderful Relish to us. The food was excellent and the service was all I needed to surprise my wife for our 22nd anniversary, and the live jazz was all that and the prices were medium to high, but you get what you pay...
Sadly, out of business as of today, Nov 9 2010.
The GOOD: This restaurant looks great on the inside. The chairs hurt after sitting in them for a while. The background music was fantastic. The warm bread they bring out was great,too. The BAD: They put the same seasoning on everything and it was way too heavy. It was on my salmon, broccoli, roaste...
My husband and friends went to Emma's for the first time. The food was excellent but the service left much to be desired. It took over an hour for our main course to be served (we started off with salads). When I asked the owner,as nicely as I could,why it was taking so long he argued with me about ...
LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant! I go here so often the staff knows what I want when I walk in. The vodka penne is AMAZING! Great deals during the week- 4 course meal for $20! Can't beat it. Never a bad meal, staff is the nicest I've come across in any restaurant.
Great food -- will go often
We had veal platters, and each one was delicious. The soup of the day was potato leek--very tasty. Delightful to find something like this so close to home; and the prices were great.
for those of you dined at Gloria's gourmet seafood Temptation's (the restaurant side) is owned and operated by the same person i have dined at both establishments on numerous occasions everyone that i have dined with have enjoyed themselves immensely yes there is a wait for the food but usually i go...
Food is very good but the interior could be spruced up a little e.g. windows are dirty and walls need some painting(the paint is chipped off in places)Chairs by the door need to be replaced.
This was always my favorite restaurant. I have been there with my friends many times and have referred alot of people, however all good things come to an end. Last night I decided to dine there with my friend and when we arrived saw the sign out front that stated 50% off all entrees and desserts Mon...
Our 2nd visit. Even for 1/2 price wouldn't do it again. Each time the service was almost non -existent. We waited over an hour to be served. My meal came exactly as I said I was unable to eat it, I said forget it I didn't want to wait another hour for another. The manager/ower said "well you wi...
Pete's Famous pizza is the best choice for the Best homemade pizza that is made daily. The cheese steaks and stomboli are magnificent. You get a lot of good quality food at a very good price.
Typical overated South Philly place, high priced, dry "meat" with cheap cheese on top, and dry stale hard rolls. This place is a tourist trap!!! South Philly Italian food may have been very good years ago, but in the year 2010 it is overated, and the neighborhood where these places are located are n...
Skip the chain restaurants and come here if you want more bang for your buck. Their authentic Italian cooking is delicious and affordable. Their lunch paninis are fantastic (I highly recommend the chicken caccitore panini) and so are the soups and pasta dishes. Even the bread is unique and flavorful...
My friends and I enjoy Friday night happy hour. We usually have appetizers and drinks which are great. We prefer the bar area and can get a good table if we get there early enough. Except for the same four old men who are there every Friday evening sitting at the bar for hours, not eating and dri...
Just when I thought Santini's could not get any better...I walked in for my usual fried meatball favorite, one of the guys suggested I try the cheesecake...WOW! am I glad I did! The best I've ever tasted...ANYWHERE! It is from "BREADBASTARD" a local baker I've heard of before from friends. It is onl...
