The garden is very romantic and inviting. The food was very good as well. We ordered the beef tartare, gnocchi and kale salad as appetizers. For dinner, we ordered the short rib and the peppercorn pasta. The peppercorn pasta was interesting...thicker than the typical pasta but still very good. This is a great place for a nice dinner or just drinks as the drink menu has a great selection.
Very nice outdoor drinking prices are also very OK. My favourite Whiskey costs 5 Dollars less than in other Bars
Beautiful outdoor garden made for a relaxing and pleasurable experience. They have a very affordable wine list and very unique dishes to choose from. Loved the roasted beets with whipped tofu appetizer and blistered shishito peppers. Noteworthy as well were the white bean and basil ravioli and the seared scallops with crushed mint peas. Service was unobtrusive, friendly and attentive. I've travelled around the world for years and have eaten in many excellent restaurants and M matches my highest rating.
Great food - the selection of appetizers is imaginative and delicious, as well as the main entrees. They have creative cocktails and the wine list is exceptional. All that in the most wonderful setting - the outdoor terrace is a must - to celebrate a delightful evening for lovers, family or a special event.
Was there for Valentine's Day which is also our wedding anniversary. It was fantastic! Cozy and beautiful. Wait staff was attentive. Only hard part was deciding on what delicious dish to get! The mushroom soup was the best soup I have ever had (of any soup!). All of the courses were excellent. My brandy alexanders were delicious. A perfect evening. So beautiful. Will definitely return for other special occasions.
This is a hidden gem of a restaurant...small, intimate with a cozy bar in the front and a separate dining room to the rear. An additional patio garden dining area is used whenever weather permits. The food I have enjoyed has been exceptional with some unique flavor pairings, a staff which seems eager to please and service which matches their enthusiasm. The wine list is well curated with something which should appeal to all but keeping within budgets. Thumbs up!!
Terrific service, romantic atmosphere, and a fresh seasonal menu, my fiancée and I loved our time there. The staff- Diane and the manager, Lowell- were warm and very friendly and definitely contributed to our overall celebratory evening. The cheese tray, drink options, and entrees were delicious. The atmosphere felt historical, romantic, elegant, and comfortable at the same time. One of our favorite overall dining experiences!
Beautiful outdoor area to eat. Excellent meat and cheese selections, our main course was delicious, and their drink selection is great as well. Only negative was the two people playing guitar were a little too loud and made it hard to converse at times. Other than that it was a great experience!
This restaurant was a place my wife and I walked by one day. It looked cozy, so we went in and it has quickly become our favorite place in the city. The food has been excellent every time and the menu changes quite often. One of their specialty drinks listed is called 'Snow Day' and is out of this world! Give this place a try. No disappointments, for sure!
Had an amazing time here a few nights ago. Great ambiance and service. The courtyard attached to the hotel gave us an experience of the history of Philly. Order the Scallops and Rosemary's Baby cocktail both delicious.
Nice quiet place in a great location. Our server Vince was excellent! Great recommendations and extremely accommodating. We tried had the cheese board, hanger steak, mafaldine, and a dulce de leche cheesecake and everything was delicious! The only thing I wished was that we had a chance to sit in the garden as it was a beautiful night and looked very inviting, but unfortunately there was a wedding (darn beautiful acts of love). Will definitely be back!
There's a reason the "M" has been named the most romantic restaurant in Philly. Great atmosphere, wonderful staff and incredible food. Sitting inside or outside, a perfect experience. Went for our 10 wedding anniversary, surprised my wife, we'd never been there before. She was floored, suggest the table in front of the gondola outside.
Went to Philly for the weekend and discovered M. The ambiance in the restaurant is amazing. Our table was in a comfortable room with a big fire place. The restaurant gave us a cozy historical feel. Our server was very attentive and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back :)
New Spring Menu 2016
Fantastic food. Amazing service.
We had the cheese board, which was amazing and varied. We had Miso honey with it which was some of the most amazing and creative garnishes we had.
Pea soup was amazing, aqese cold soup.
Braised ox tail made me want to buy a pressure cooker to try myself.
Scallops were fantastic, so hard to cook but perfect.
Short ribs were fall-off-the bone tender with a bean base that was awesome.
Heirloom and melon salad was amazing, it had a great local cheese on it.
The zuchini noodles were also very good. They sound like a cold dish, but we're served warm. Amazing!!
I would come here again, and recommend it to everyone.
Incredible hospitality, food and vibe! Truly one of the most romantic venues in Philadelphia. Enter into a cozy space lit with candlelight and ambient sconces, the crimson walls and mirrored accents, which, provide the most intentional date night space. I’ve been to a bridal party in the garden as well as happy hour in the restaurant and it’s a beautiful experience!!
