WOW! first time here. We had spent two days in downtown Philadelphia and were meeting my fiance's relatives at this restaurant, which was 20 minutes from their house. 6 of us. Honestly, this restaurant is definitely 5-stars. Incredible service and wish i could remember her name. Knew the menu so well and even took time to get a gluten free roll for one of our guests while we snacked on the other rolls.Cucumber and salmon mouse sandwich for me and I kept sneaking french fries from my fiance's plate - outstanding. The quality of the food and the great choices (rotating menus with the seasons) made me wish i could have eaten here more times!Truly a treat and such a well decorated restaurant too! Very popular place for lunch - place was very crowded for lunch!

Lots of seating options at this Brewery with views of the river. Indoor, covered open air and outdoor options. Lots of draft options, but we did not have a chance to sample them on this visit.The menu offers quite a variety - appetizers, small shares, full meals, and pizza. We had the loaded chili nachos which were excellent. Both my wife and I had the barbecue rib dinner. The ribs were good (not quite the level of Cincinnati's Montgomery Ribs), the sauce was tasty and the side potatoes were top notch - I'd call them boiled with a deep fry crust.Our server was outstanding. Prices were reasonable.

My fraternity had a holiday dinner here. It has no self-parking. Valet parking was expensive because they know that there are no good options available.The meal consisted of Salmon, Chicken Breast with Mushroom Sauce, Shrimp Gumboand Green Beans. The food was average.

We were looking for a happy hour; how fortunate to have picked the White Dog!Customers ranged from college-age to us (whose sons are long out of college), and everyone happily co-existed. The happy hour menu was awesome; we chose oysters on the half shell and added hummus as the evening progressed. Service was excellent, the bar staff was charming and efficient. The only negative was the noise; while those brick walls are elegant and charming, they reflect and magnify those many conversations - maybe hang some tapestries or similar? But regardless, we'll most surely be returning!
