Franco's High Note Cafe

Food is really good but singing and music is even better. If you are an opera lover, you have to go for sure Recommend weekend, but have a reservation for sure

Celebrated my birthday with family. Everyone from the minute we walked in the door was welcoming and very friendly. Excellent service . Waiter was very knowledgeable and explained the food so well that you wanted to order one of everything. Entertainment was wonderful. Singing was opera and such a voice. Seven people in my party and everything was so good from appetizers to desserts. Would highly recommend and already planning to go back soon.

Forget about the food--it's just so-so. Go for the singing wait staff who are talented and delightful. The songs range from popular operatic arias to shmaltzy semi-classical. The young singers enthusiasm is infectious.

We went to the High Note Cafe because of the singing and good food. We had a relaxing dinner. We were told that botle wine was 20% off so we had a bottle of wine with our dinner. We waited 15-20 minutes between courses which was fine because the company was great. As we were finishing up dessert and drinking our coffee the waiter gave us our check. We were charged full price for the wine which the waiter fixed on the bill. When the waiter returned with our charge card receipt we were told we had to leave because there was a party of 14 coming in and they needed our table. The party of 14 was literally standing over us and sqeezing into the booth seats! Also, the waiter was clearing our plates!! We were still finishing our coffee and dessert! We got up because we really did not have a choice because the next party was practically sitting on our laps! We said something to the owner, and his response was we have two seatings 6:30 and 8:30 and the 8:30 party was here. We were never told that we had to leave by 8:30 and the service was slow. Guess what Franco, we will NEVER be back and we will never recommend this restaurant to anyone! Maybe you forgot, you are in South Phila, the home of Italian Food. There are many other restaurants that have much better food and nicer staff!

A wonderful experience. Food, Ambiance and Service all top rate. I didn't know what to expect about the entertainment but was surprised by the very talented people performing.

For anyone wanting a very different dining experience, I highly recommend The High Note Cafe. The food was simply divine, the service was exemplary and the entertainment right out of The Met. For a recent birthday, my husband left the dining to me, I chose The High Note. There is an old world charm right in the heart of South Philly. From the moment we walked in, the staff could not be more helpful. We ate at our leisure with no pressure to complete our meal so the next reservation could be seated. I was a bit skeptical about the opera music because my 2 teenage children were with us. I wasn't sure they would get the "idea" of the Cafe. I was totally blown away at their reaction to the singing wait staff, who by the way, belong on stage. Suffice it to say, we will recommend the High Note to any and everyone. Bravo!

Your taste buds will applaud! Great service, food and fun!
