There is too much to say about this amazing restaurant. The location in Philadelphia is excellent and the decor inside is upscale. The food was absolutely amazing! We ended up eating most of our meal in silence because the food was just that good. If you're looking for a side with your meal, I would absolutely suggest the macaroni and cheese.

My experience here was a mix of highs and lows. The Shrimp and Crab Louie was the perfect choice for an appetizer/salad. The Porterhouse for Two was disappointing. Accurately described by our waiter as one side loin and the other strip, the strip side was very tough. I hate to have to politely spit out grizzle and pile it neatly on the side of my plate. Forget the Porterhouse and try the Delmonico. The Loaded Hash Browns were very good as were the medley of Mushroom and Onions, but the Roasted Brussels Sprouts were tough. The cores were not trimmed (which is something I always do) and they lacked any of that bacon and roasted flavor you look for.The service was very good but almost bordered on annoying. When ask how our dinner was I told them about the lack of preparation on the Sprouts and the grizzle. I did say it was more a matter of my choice of cut than poor quality. He responded with, "Ohh, ok." which did not convince me that the head chief of the kitchen would ever receive our comments. There was no choice of type of roast for the after dinner coffee ( I favor dark roast), but the very good Carrot Cake made up for this. I don't think I'll rush back, especially with many other choices for a good steak here in Philadelphia.

This is a swanky upscale restaurant. The decor is dark and intimate. The food is ala-cart and EXPENSIVE. With the 6 I went with, we had a $400+ bill and it is worth every single penny. Their wine and spirit selection is top notch. So don't expect to get absolute vodka or seagrams gin. I spent 45 dollars on the best whiskey and personally, I deserved it. Wait staff are super accommodating and friendly. They make you feel at home. If you got the money to blow, go have a great experience here. You won't regret it.

Great upscale restaurant with an amazing atmosphere. Our waiter was outstanding giving us the best advice on food and drinks. Pro tip: get the asparagus grilled, need to ask. Food was outstanding as well!

We had a phenomenal experience at Butcher and Singer. The decor and atmosphere were top notch (love the dogs), the food was beyond good (melt in your mouth steaks), and the service was exceptional! Our waitress was attentive, kind, and a true professional; I wish I knew her name. If you're reading this, awesome waitress, and you helped that young couple celebrate their anniversary yesterday - kudos to you! You rocked. Additionally, I like that the restaurant manager came by to our table to make sure everything was going well and their wine list was long and well-rounded. We will definitely be coming back to B&S once as soon as we can. Thank you for the great experience and dynamite dinner.

The atmosphere was classy and very reminiscent of the 1920s. The food and drinks were stellar and we could not have had a better waiter. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a special date night or a large group outing as they are very accommodating. When you tell them it's your anniversary, as it was in our case, the entire staff told us Happy Anniversary throughout the night, we were given complimentary glasses of champagne to celebrate and they gave us their famous Baked Alaska dessert as well. We had the best experience and can't wait to try it again soon.

Went for a restaurant week and the server was hating every minuete of it. I understand it affects their money but you really shouldn t make your guests unwelcome since the only reason I came was because of restaurant week now I know not to come back when there s a ton of other great spots in center city! Management please take notes and if you decide to participate in restaurant week make sure your team is aware of it and don t let something like that ruin your reputation. If servers are unhappy make them take off for that week so they realize that little money is better than no money!

Loved it. Ricky was our very attentive waiter. My kids took me there for an early birthday dinner, as I would have been out of town. The delmonico! No words. The flaky rolls to die for. Highly recommend!

Visting from ny/nj area and decided to have dinner by myself here . The food was beyond amazing . Started off with a caesar salad followed by their bransino . After indulging I decided to try their desert . Ended up with a slice of carrot cake whipped to perfection . Everything complimented very well with a (3) glasses of their newton skyside-red label claret. To say the least most definitely will be coming back when im in the philadelphia area .

This restaurant doesn't just make u feel at peace, it's soothing to the soul . From the look and feel when u walk up due to the gentleman waiting at the door to give you VIP valet service . The music is soothing to the ears. The hostess are pleasant ,pretty and great you with great customer service . The staff at the bar are friendly and keep great convo during your time of service. Then going to the dining hall the food is amazing . My only concern is the closeness of the tables due to the space inside but overall a 5star dining experience to me . Love this place

Boo to Stephen Starr!!!! I have spent thousands of $$$$ here for entertaining clients and always requested a certain waiter from their waitstaff . He always made myself and clients feel like we were getting 5 star treatment every time, and also helped me land huge business deals from the experience at dinners and lunches. But due to an unfortunate event the best waiter in the city was fired for a incident that was not his fault and was a victim of some other waiters negligence. I will never spend another $ at any of the Starr restaurants in Philly or anywhere else and will never recommend anyone to go to these establishments. It's a travesty that an unjustified firing will deprive folks the pleasure of the best dining experience by a fantastic waiter. Shame on Starr Restaurants!!!!!

I asked for quiet area on reservation. They tried to seat its in middle of crowded dining room and only grudgingly moved us. There was plenty of room.
Dinner fit 2, no drinks, no appetizer., no dessert was $125 before tip. This was 2 streaks and 2 sides. Good, but not with the price.

Had reservations. Sat immediately. Greeted quickly. Server was quick and thorough as he went through the specials and explanation of menu and restaurant history. We ordered oysters on the half shell, they were nice sized, cold and shucked cleanly! We split a wedge with the roquefort and it was brought to the table already split which was nice and it was delicious. I ordered the 8oz filet med rare, husband ordered Porterhouse med well. My steak was cooked more than his and we had to send both back. Kind of felt like the manager argued slightly with me about the temp but was polite. I also know that neither steaks we received were the size stated on the menu. I ordered the truffle butter on mine and it was good but a lot of butter. I was able the share it with my husband. We also ordered the Stuffed Hashbrowns which are very good as were the Mushrooms and Onions. We skipped dessert as we were not blown away by anything we ordered. Service was excellent and we were never low on water. Wouldn't return.

I know this place is known for their steaks. Now where the streaks are most definitely amazing to say the least, I have had swordfish before and I had it here and I can honestly say that I have never tasted anything more amazing than that. I live in Maryland and will be coming back to Philly for this restaurant specificly.

I expected better; initial impressions were not realised.
Somehow, appetizers were served and finished before the wine (ordered before the food, as typical) could even be brought to the table.
Transferring side-orders with the viscosity of heavy soup onto plates with only a knife and fork added a fun challenge to the whole affair.
The sorbet was great.

On the Stephen Starr scene, there are a few locales that even he keeps in high regard - Parc, Alma, Talula's, etc. - but today's lunch at Butcher and Singer was by far the most flavorful (AND AFFORDABLE) experience I've had.

Any restauranteur will tell you that lunch is always more affordable than dinner but for $17/person, you can enjoy a rather filling meal from a steak house that can put Chops to shame.

Nice place for a special event night. Top notch service and excellent menu. Best porterhouse that I have had in many years. Enough choices and specials for most every pallette. For 6, drinks, appetizers, salad, entrees, sides, and dessert came to $500 + tip.

Was on vacation, so i knew i had to take Patco over to Philly one of those days, and have a butcher burger. Unfortunately it's only served at lunch time, so i can never get it when I'm working. Don't get me wrong, their dinner is amazing to, but there is something about the butcher burger that I crave. Maybe it's the special sauce, the fresh, top grounded up beef, or the fresh house made fries. You just need to try it. Price has gone up quite a bit from when i first started going, but it's still worth it in my opinion. If you're in the city, and haven't been there for lunch, then what are you waiting for! Don't let it's high end surroundings keep you from going.

One of the best Burgers I've ever had in Philly. Its huge, and it comes with a ton of fries! Came cooked exactly as I ordered it, and perfectly seasoned.

One of the best parts of this restaurant is the decor. It has a very old-timey feel, almost as if you're sitting in a restaurant in the 1950's. The staff was fantastic. The waitress checked on us multiple times throughout our meal to make sure everything was perfect.

If you're looking for a great burger in a great atmosphere, definitely check this place out!

The biscuits... You need to try the biscuits. Came here for a bachelor party and the food was phenomenal. The restaurant was a little warm but it still felt comfortable. Highlight of the meal was the damn biscuits they give you when sit down. Still thinking about those biscuits...

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Top notch food and service. Everything was superb from the house made rolls with honey butter to the baked Alaska for dessert. Branzino was terrific and highly recommended. Swordfish was amazing. Brussel sprouts were fantastic. Hash brown is also highly recommended. It was terrific.

Lived up to the hype.

Lived up to the hype.

This was a last minute spur of the moment dinner and we walked in and were seated right away.

They took our coats and led us to our seats which were nice. They were on the side but elevated so we could see the main dining room.

The vibe is very old school but nice. Great for conversations, nothing that was too distracting but plenty to talk about.

We got these buttermilk biscuits to start and they were incredible. I was impressed.

Then I had a crab cake appetizer which was nice and served incredibly quickly. After that I had an 8oz Fillet which was cooked perfectly and topped with truffle butter. I had a side of mashed potatoes which lacked flavor but were the right consistency.

I ended the night with this lemon tart dessert which was a nice way to tie the whole meal together.

I def recommend you go and eat well. The best thing about it all was that the food and service was excellent and efficient. I don t think I ve ever had food come out so quickly and still taste so good.

First thoughts: incredible, and I loved the ambiance and interior design.

We were seated at a table towards the front/middle, but it still felt intimate and the seats were comfortable and plush.

Our waiter Jeremy was great and made the awesome recommendation of the pork chop explaining he thought the fruit and nut chutney really made it, and he was right! The stuffed hash browns were of course incredible.

Great service, our table was kept clean and our glasses full. Definitely recommend and definitely will return!
