Came here for the first time yesterday. We’ve been wanting to come here for the last 10 years and never did until yesterday. It was well worth the wait. The ambience was perfect made it feel super cozy and inviting. Once seated we were greeted by our waitress Elizabeth C. She was beyond sweet was able to help us navigate the menu and give us her suggestions . As well as explaining each dish throughly . We ended up going with two rounds of gougeres which were delicious and well worth it . As well as the Cesar salad, shrimp, and the prime rib amongst other dishes we tried . Everything was absolutely delicious. Compliments to the chef(s) of the evening, they did a wonderful job. Upon Elizabeth bringing us our main course of the prime rib she gifted us a complimentary glass of wine that paired perfectly with our meal. This is definitely a 10/10 place. We will be back again and would love to have Elizabeth again.
Tried the signature appetizers and dishes, all pretty good. A little bit salty for my typical sodium level, if 10% less would be great 👍
Had an amazing birthday dinner at a.kitchen. The cocktails and wine were great and the service was spot on. The food was super fresh and full of flavor. We tried the French puff cheese pastries (gougères), whipped tofu, ricotta rosette, and the wagyu bavette steak—everything was excellent. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic atmosphere. Restaurant was a little bit loud but not more than expected. Lighting and atmosphere was great. Service was phenomenal. The clam and spaghetti dish that I ordered was a little bit too salty, but they took care of it and got me something else. (Sopresine verde) which was amazing and delicious. For an appetizer, we had a dozen oysters and the Crudo. I can’t recommend those appetizers enough. Make sure that you also ask for the house hot sauce. I have absolutely no complaints because everything was literally fantastic.
I think I just found my favorite spot in Philly! Super cozy vibe and the food’s great. Tried the breakfast and loved it! Went back again for the burger, it was good, but the blue cheese flavor was a bit strong for me. Still really liked it overall!
Garlic Gnocchi was amazing. Food was all on point except pasta and claws which was too salty for my liking. Service was prompt but not rushed. This is a lively place so noise level is high but comfortable
I LOVED this restaurant. The ambiance is cozy and warm. No harsh lighting. Great natural light as well. The food is incredible - the best beet salad and grilled cheese I’ve ever had…seriously. No exaggeration. Reagan was our server and she was attentive and super nice! They have a full coffee bar so we enjoyed our lattes with brunch. Brunch is served from 10-3. Overall an exceptional experience. 1000/10 would recommend.
Not sure why we took so long to come here - it blew away my expectations! Fantastic food, great dimly lit atmosphere, and wonderful service. We had a lot here - the mussels, oysters, the cheese ball app, carrots, half chicken, steak, and panna cotta and loved every bite. I will be back!
On a cold Saturday afternoon in the heart of Rittenhouse Square, A Kitchen was the perfect place to settle in and warm up: we sat at the bar and enjoyed a French omelette filled with caramelized onions, broccoli, sprouts, and creamy Boursin, served with perfectly fried potatoes or their delicious cheeseburger with all the accoutrements done just right. Everything was comforting yet thoughtfully prepared, showcasing the kitchen’s attention to detail and balance of flavors. Paired with an IPA called Dead Flowers, the meal felt effortless and inviting—overall, a superb dining experience that captures exactly why A Kitchen is such a standout in the neighborhood.
Service was impeccable and the atmosphere was great. We had a toddler and they were very accommodating. Food was on the saltier side, especially the monkfish dish we had, but overall everything we tried was enjoyable. Our favorite were the crudo and the panisse. People seem to love the gnocchi but we thought it was average. Gougere was cold. We did love the desserts, especially the pot de creme, which they comped for us! Will come back again!
