For years I enjoyed going to the bar & gill section for a late dinner or drinks with friends. Ever since the menu has changed there has been less variety for vegetarians, higher prices, and smaller portions. No more veggie burger! When I asked if cheese could be melted on my fries (as featured on the old menu), the chef was brought to my table to let me know that despite the fact that they do indeed have cheese, they could not melt it on my fries...that was only on the old menu.

Don't buy into the "socially conscious" slant of this restaurant. The food is over-priced and bland. I've had much fresher, tastier, organic fare elsewhere.

This has been my favorite restaurant for many years, but it seems to be suffering a slow decline. The food quality is still good, though the portion size is shrinking. The dining room is so loud I can tell you more about the people around me than the person I dined with, and best of all, both we and the diners around us complained loudly when it was discovered we were seated next to an alley where people go outside the smoke. It was like dining in a bar, pre-Philly smoking ban!

I have been to this place twice - once for lunch by the bar and once for an anniversary in the dining room. The atmosphere was nice except for a noisy table nearby. I found that the lunch menu is less of a value. But the dinner was fantastic and worth the money. I recommend the soft shell crab and the lamb with the heirloom stew. Not somewhere I would go regularly.

Cozy atmosphere, nice outdoor seating, fantastic food. I'm very supportive of organics, we need more restaraunts like this one. I read the negative review and although I've never ordered those items i have never had a bad experience here. I've been for dinner and lunch and it was awesome. Me and my guests have sampled the salmon burger, hamburger, st peter's fish, roast chicken, choc mousse pie, goatcheese cake, all were excellent--esp the desserts. I did try the choc chipotle pot de creme which was good but very spicy aftertaste but if you like spicy food you would enjoy. The service can be a bit slow but other than that very good. I can't wait to go back for brunch, its one of the only places in the city that serves organic eggs-- for those of us that care its kind of a big deal.

Amazing! Loved it and a great idea...more of these restaurants are needed!

We wanted to like this place, as we're down with its policy to support organic produce from sustainable farms, but, alas, the portions were too dinky for me and the grilled calamari salad was obliterated by an overly-sweet mayonnaise-like concoction that had no resemblance to the lime mentioned on the menu. The veggy burger was passable, but the fries were broken, twice-cooked, and sorry. This White Dog was lame.
