Here you can enjoy a very swanky evening with views of the Philadelphia skyline while you dine on some delicious food. This would be considered a fancy night out as entrees range from $30-60. The majority of people have enjoyed the food, and service here is top-notch. There is a cozy fireplace in the lounge and in the warm weather months al fresco dining.
