A - Philadelphia

I made a bar reservation for 6:00, and we were shown at two Bartools at the cozy end of the bar, immediately at 6:00. The ambience was gentle and dark, and the room is modern but warm. We were immediately greeted by a friendly server who wounded giving my girlfriend a free glass of wine just because. Overall friendly service, beautiful place and decent value. We will definitely return:

Despite some very good general reviews in the past, we found the experience to be overwhelming. From the waitress trying to take her order with her standing behind our back to the muddy sausage, it was very little to fry. We liked the rock shrimp salad and the beef tars was good. Generally, the service was rather strange, but the dessert was the highlight of the night. Since many of the elements for restaurant week were from the normal menu, we found it disappointing and will go to another restaurant in the future

A colleague and I ate here during Restaurant Week and we were very impressed by the amount and quantity of food. It is a small place, so a bit loud on a Friday night, but we sat earlier as our reservation and served immediately and attentively during our meal. We shared four appetizers that would have been sincere enough for a meal. All were delicious and delightful. The duck was for two branzino, and the fish was tender and tasteful. We were too full to eat our dessert, but we took them home with other left. Moist apple cake with one side of cream freezing was just as wonderful the next day. It was my first time to eat here and I would definitely return.

Excellent food and staff helped meet our needs. Thank you.

Actually I went to a.kitchen for CC Restaurant Week. The food was great. Oysters on the half shell were fresh and briny. Nice presentations.
