The Love - Rittenhouse

like

Yesss! I love this place. I recommend this too. Hope you enjoy your dinner!

I've suggested this one before. Great Chefs Table at the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College (near drexel and penn).

Only open Thursdays and Fridays while school is in session. Reservations required. Great and unique experience with culinary students cooking dinner under the eye of professional instructors. I've done it twice and always enjoyed it .

Nom Wah. Go with a bunch of people and go nuts ordering dim sum.

I love it here! It's a little chaotic but the food is amazing! So much flavors in every dish they serve.

Bistro Romano in old city. Great food and vibes

These are all the wrong answers. If you have a good group Taconellis up north is place to be. It’s byo and some of the best pizza in city. Bring lots of beer/wine/liquor because it takes awhile. They have a room off to the side if you have a big enough party.

La Mula Terca!

It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.
