The room is just unreal at the Blue Angel. It has a funky French Bistro feel, very comfortable. The food is excellent, and they have an excellent selection of Beer. Just about everything is served with frites. I realize it is a French restaurant, but to pay $32 for a steak and have it come out of the kitchen completely mounded under a portion of french fries that could easily serve 4 people is a bit strange.

Great food, great service. Small dining room decorated with funky oil paintings by local artists. BYOB. Standout menu items are the Roast Duck with Pickled Plums (nice asian flair), the homemade Toasted Coconut Almond Ice Cream, and the Warm Goat Cheese Salad. Reserve in advance, they fill up quick.

We had a most enjoyable meal at Il Portico. Our server expertly navigated us through the menu, and made several excellent suggestions. I started with Carpaccio of fresh tuna seasoned with anice and lemon, very delicious!!! For dinner I had the Veal Chop which was cooked perfectly and finished with a very delicate mederia sauce. A romantic room, and very attentive professional service.

Bad! Bad! Bad! Everything that could have gone wrong on our trip to Aurnaud's did. They could not honor our reservation time (a small wait at the bar). After being seated our server asked if we would like more drinks and we agreed. Our server returned (without drinks) about 15 minutes later to take our order. Our first course was served in a timely manner, but our drinks still had not arrived. My wife finally flagged down our server and he seemed as though we were bothering him. Our drinks arrived after we finished our first course (which, by the way, was very good - The Shrimp Remoulaude - nice and spicey with great flavor). We sat for an eternity(over 35 minutes) with dirty plates in front of us. My wife wanted to leave. A bus boy comes by our table and strips it clean, our server presents us with dessert menus, we had not yet recieved our dinner. Long story short, our food arrives and it was just absolutely disappointing. I had duck with a white bean salad that was on par with good cafeteria food, terrible presentation, and just bland. We called a manager the next day to complain (something I have NEVER done before, I'll chalk a bad meal up to an off night for a restaurant before I'd ever complain), the manager was not on duty. The person we spoke to took our information, but we never heard back from the establishment. In my opinion, an over-rated, over priced restaurant, with poor managerial skills. Aurnaud's is resting on its past reputation to their detriment. TOURIST TRAP!!! AVOID!!!

One of the most romantic rooms in Philadelphia! Knowledgeable, attentive staff - very professional. The food is very good as well. I recommend the Diver Scallops appetizer, just melts in your mouth. The crab cake appetizer was a little underwhelming, rubbery rather than crispy (I think they may brown them off in advance, then microwave them to order, I don't know for sure). The center cut filet was excellent, and the rack of baby lamb melts in your mouth. We will definitely return!!!! BYOB.

A class act!!! The nicest dining experience I have ever had. We were addressed as "Mr + Mrs Vandenburg" by everyone from the Busperson to the Captain of our table. Beautifully appointed dining room. Professional and detail oriented service. The food is great. Bring you wallet. Dinner with drinks and tip topped $250, but that was soup to nuts!!! Don't think, just go and treat yourself to an indulgent evening of pampering and great food.

A great restaurant for Avalon!!! The food and decor are both very modern and tasteful. Standout items on the menu would be the Roast Duck with Apples and Maple, also The Steak Aldean (mushrooms, molasses, and dijon - sweet and spicey). The room is set up like fine dining (crisp linen, professional service), but is very relaxing. The Bistro at Kipper'Z (next door) is a great deal. They concentrate more on catering and take out. The dining room isn't quite as formal as the main room, but still very nice (READ: a great place to take the kids). A softball sized Jumbo lump crab cake, with salad and bread $10 bucks!? My days of eating pizza, hoagies, and cheese steaks are over in Avalon. BYOB, and definitely reserve early.

I was underwhelmed by the service, we almost felt like we were being ignored. Perhaps it was an "off" night judging from other reviews on this site. The food was very good and the dining room is beautiful. Orchids on the tables are a very classy touch. Chocolate dipped fortune cookie presented with check.

Chef Sing is a true visionary. A great blend of flavors, textures, colors!!! Beautiful presentations!!! The Prime Rib is a presidential cut, slow smoked, and crusted with cajun seasonings. The New Orlean BBQ Shrimp is probably one of the best dishes on the menu - served in shell, quite messy but well worth it!! Spicey and totally legit!! The real disappointment is they stuff you in like sardines. Too many "greedy" tables.

I dine at NOLA whenever in New Orleans. Reserve early or you'll be disappointed. Great service and top notch food. The BBQ shrimp appetizer with the sweet potato/pecan pancake is a true delight!!! You must dine here!!
