Food: GOOD. We only tried a few apps with our drinks. And they were decent and reasonably priced for being center and close to Rittenhouse Sq. Drinks: EXCELLENT. Beautifully crafted and tasty. It was the highlight! Service: EXCELLENT. Atmosphere: FUN. We sat outside on the sidewalk. It was very cute and fun. Overall: I would come back.

We had brunch here for New Years Eve and it was wonderful. The overall atmosphere was casual yet comfortable. We started with the grilled salad which was so flavorful. The chef was able to make a simple butter pasta for our daughter who absolutely loved it! I had the mushroom bolognese with spaghetti, which was perfectly aldente. The fish of the day was flavorful. Make sure to make a reservation because it’s so worth it

Great food and presentation, however definitely over priced (yes, COVID prices are a real thing). To speak specifically to the food — Gougeres - great filling flavor plus nice and crunchy Octopus ‘Lyonnaise’ - good flavors but the texture was a little chewy Sausage and green - fine? The dish wasn’t overly exciting or interesting Beef tartare - fine, nothing special Pork chop - massive bone-in pork chop, good amount of vegetables, overall solid dish Grilled fish - in an amazing sauce, but very minimal other vegetables/ pieces to the dish Whole fish for two - great flavor, but it’s not deboned so tons of bones to pick through (aka don’t bother)

Amazing service!!! First of all, I have to start with how friendly the staff was at the restaurant. They were accommodating 7 of us without reservation on busy Thursday night. They were very attentive and even split the check for us (not just evenly, but actually by what we ordered without us asking for it!) Ok, and food was also delicious. While I do wish they had appetizers, food was actually well portioned to share during the meal. We had oysters which were fresh, burgers were delicious but I recommend it without sauce included. Highly recommend it!!

Yummy food. Loved the food and the service. Chef knows how to cook and staff know how to make guests feel comfortable. Kids loved the pancakes and shareable. Potatoes were yummy. Jonida served us and she was wonderful.

The service was amazing, server was really nice. The atmosphere was great, it was cool and cozy vibe. The food was very creative and innovative, loved dining here!

Enjoyed brunch at a.kitchen recently. Gave the Cornmeal Pancakes a try while my girlfriend tried the Bavette Steak Frites. We both really enjoyed our dishes but the pancakes were a highlight. I typically don’t even like lemon-flavored dishes but these made me a believer. The side of bacon I ordered was definitely too salty for my liking on its own. It probably would have tasted better with eggs but I would have never finished all that food considering how heavy the pancakes were. I also had a spin on a peach bellini which tasted delicious. Will definitely be back to try out dinner soon!

A.kitchen is by far one of the best restaurants I’ve had the pleasure of dining at in Philadelphia! My boyfriend and I have been going out to different restaurants in Philly for 5 yrs now, a.kitchen is definitely one of the most memorable. We sat at the chefs counter which was really cool, we were able to watch the chef and su chef cook all of the meals. The entire restaurant had a warm vibe, and everyone who helped us was really pleasant! Lastly, our food was outstanding, I ordered the short rib and my boyfriend ordered the half chicken. The short rib melts in your mouth and the chicken was so tender and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend both meals! Oh…and heavy pours on the wine…yes pls!
