Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in University City

My husband and I loved the unique courses and cocktails. The portions are small so you think you’ll never get satiated, but you do. Each course is full of flavor and satisfying elements. I witnessed the servers catering the tasting menu to specific dining needs. The cocktails are so unique and satisfying and the wine is perfect. The servers are knowledgeable, kind, helpful and attentive. Truly delicious and a unique dining experience in Philly. You must not think about the $$$$ if you choose to go.

I had the lamb shank--it was delicious. Members of my party also enjoyed the pork chop and a pasta dish with shrimp.

We hadn’t eaten at The Oyster House in years, and much to our surprise, it was excellent in every way. Our server was friendly and very helpful in every way from drinks to desserts. We came for lobster rolls to compare them to Portland, Maine, where we had recently traveled and where the lobster rolls are phenomenal for freshness and large chunks of pure succulent lobster meat. But we must say that the lobster rolls are equally as excellent as any we ate in Maine, much better than we expected! And the homemade shoestring fries were perfectly cooked as well. We’d recommend this restaurant highly to anyone looking for a truly authentic seafood experience!

10/10 experience at Alice as always. So accommodating and the loveliest staff. Food is exceptional every single time. I believe wholeheartedly this is one of the best restaurants in Philly!

Great little spot with wonderful vegan fare. Highly recommend the chorizo empanadas. Cocktails are also inventive
