The host was very courteous to seat us with no reservations Which we really appreciated. Did not order any food but their cocktails were simply delicious. All the liquor is from Philadelphia based distilleries. Great service and they offered us free champagne for their anniversary celebration. Very tastefully done decor. Will definitely be back shortly
Went here for the first time with my beuriful fiance for dinner tonight. Beautiful restaurant, truly excellent food, and both cocktails I tried were super impressive. I picked this restaurant because I stopped in for a coffee recently, and the aesthetic was very much my girls ideal, and i knew i had to bring her for a date. On top of the gorgeous room, it was absolutely fantastic that the food and drink, and especially the service, were phenomenal. I wish I'd done a better job remembering everyone's names, because each person we interacted with, from the maître d', to the bartender, to the servers, everyone was amazing. Top tier date spot, will be back!
Wow! Incredible spot on Spruce street. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The food was next level. What a country!
This place does not take reservations and it is a cute small place, I love their design and wallpaper, they have great taste! I went for brunch, and they had a great coffee and eggs-related meal. Will come back to try their cocktails.
We came to Enswell for our anniversary brunch and had the best experience. The food was incredible and everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. The staff was super friendly and made us feel so special. They really went out of their way to help us celebrate and it made the whole thing feel extra meaningful. Easily one of our favorite spots now. Can’t wait to come back.
We indulged in the Piccadilly, Pear Naked Lady and Side Kimchi. The cocktails were all very unique and delicious and the space was gorgeous. The service here is fantastic, got a chance to ask questions from the bartender as well as our waitress was absolutely fantastic and attentive. We enjoyed the warm potato bread that exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend if you’re feeling a little peckish, you will leave very satisfied.
First off , the aesthetic is STUNNING. Picture a mix of art deco and vintage hotel meshed beautifully into one. It’s tiny and intimate so I’d recommend this as a date spot. Maybe a double date. But the space would have a harder time accommodating large parties. After having a ton of disappointments in Philly with escargot I’d say that this is my fave spot for them! The cocktail program is amazing. You must try the kimchi cocktail!!!
The place is very cozy and the service was spectacular! All the dishes were full of flavor. We were two people and we had the fried olives and eggplant tempura for starters. And the mushroom risotto and Branzino for entree. And the affogato for dessert
