a nice visit if you're not too cool for that. I was grateful they included a tofu dish on the menu. Don't expect any of the food to blow your mind (go to one of the many, many fabulous alternatives nearby for that), though the bread basket is fun. More

We were attracted to this place because of this history and the menu. The food was suburb. The service was mediocre at best and the prices on everything was very high (12.95 for a kids meal, 7.75 for a 10oz. beer). If you're looking for value and service look somewhere else. If you're looking for good food and a unique... More

I eat at many restaurants more expensive than this. I had the sausage Wellington. I've made hot dogs in croissant wraps that are way better. $40 for 2 hot dogs and a beer is rediculous. Service is slow and hokey. Definitely would not recommend. On the plus side the building and wall hangings are interesting. More

The food was very, very good. We had the crabcakes and the salmon. The crabcakes were the best I've ever eaten. They also served complimentary breads, one of which was a sweet potato biscuit -- delicious and unique.

Everything about this visit was excellent, all the staff are in period costume, a harp player in the lower hall, the serving staff helpful and informative, the beers brewed to 18thc recipes, the excellent breads and the lovely food. recomend this strongly to any visitor to Philly More

Overall, I thought the experience was really well done. It's not a tacky t-shirt / key chain type of place - the City Tavern has achieved a... More

On behalf of myself and the 3 others. I have to say this place was not worth the price. The costumes were cute and the staff friendly...But as another reviewer stated: "The filling [to my turkey pot pie] was a little underwhelming." The crust was decent but does not make for a $23 dish. The smoked fish appetizer was good.... More

The waitress and waiters are dressed in colonial attire. You are served a warm basket of freshly baked breads and muffins as your beverages are served . The setting is colonial elegant with wooden tables with wooden floors, and the food is quite delicious. Very close to the Society Hill Sheraton Hotel. More

The food is excellent in quality, in generous portions. It is served in authentically recreated surroundings and style - an absolute treat for admirers of America's founding fathers. Talk to the staff and "characters" you see there - you will learn even more. A really special experience! More
