Located just off Rittenhouse Square, My Loup’s menu is French Canadian with a lighter touch. Guests can fashion a meal from a selection of smaller dishes and a drink at the bar or commit to a giant plateau fruits de mer and anything else the kitchen decides to send out as part of their “Let Us Cook For You” menu — potentially a half chicken with matzah balls or a halibut tail with turnips, smoked butter, and clams. Executive Chef Alex Kemp works with what suppliers have fresh, with change viewed as a catalyst that propels the menu forward and fosters a dynamic energy that encourages experimentation.

    Finally made it to Borromini and it exceeded all expectations. Didn't hurt that it was a beautiful day to walk through center city and the park, but the true star was everything about Borromini. Beautiful location, great ambiance, and fantastic service. Our server, Dom, was incredible, and we felt so appreciated by all the staff, including, Basil, one of the managers. Definitely made us feel valued and appreciated. The food was outstanding. We had the house special foccacia, the blue crab gnochetti, the tortolone in a brown butter sage sauce, and a perfect chicken milanese. Nothing beats a great chicken cutlet, and they crushed it. Both pastas were exquisite. For dessert we had the tiramisu and the sundae, spectacular. The tiramisu transported me back to Italy. We can't wait to return!

    I just love Parc. We usually go for brunch, but this time we did an early dinner and it was just as incredible. Highly recommend the scallops risotto and the steak au poivre! Amazing vibe sitting inside, but close to the outside tables - best of both worlds!
