Mercer Cafe
Categories:
Cafes,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighborhood: Kensington
Mercer's is a tiny little corner bistro, that serves only breakfast on Sunday's, they are open until 3:00, but do not offer any soups on anything off the lunch menu. On the other hand they have a great selection of omelets, egg and meat combinations, a wide array of French toast and pancake platters.
I would be surprised if they had more than a dozen tables, but the long counter is lined with enough stools to double their capacity. Many tea and coffee choices, cookies and a dessert case filled with slim pickings. The large blackboard hosts so many tempting offerings, which makes it difficult to deviate from the daily creative offerings.
Some of the choices for omelets made me drool, omelets that you would not normally see in a small corner cafe, but my eyes kept returning to the filet with crab topped eggs benedict and it was an awesome choice. The filet was small and cooked perfectly, but the quality of the meat and it even being a filet was questionable, however, the eggs benedict were superb, eggs were perfectly cooked, the hollandaise was top notch and it was all topped with a generous portion of pure lump crab meat.
Michael had a bacon, cheddar cheese and onion omelet, which I would not have liked, since the outside of the omelet was dry looking and too brown. I'm so picky about my omelets, don't undercook them, but definitely do not overcook them, regardless, he enjoyed it.
It came with a side of wonderful home fries to which he added onions and peppers and toast, I snitched my fair share of potatoes, while he snitched his fair share of filet.
Friendly service, they do fill up quickly, but the overall service keeps them flowing nicely. I would definitely return, if you do go on another day for lunch or dinner, it is BYOB. Heck, maybe me and crab Benny can enjoy a Bloody Mary next time. 3.5

I was 50/50 on this place and I'll tell you why...
The Good:
I wanted both the pulled chicken sliders and the cheeseburger sliders and the sweet, sweet bartender allowed me to mix and match since I had to try both and both were insanely awesome!
So many TV's, so many teams, I wanted the Steeler's on and whala, they were right there, they will gladly change any specific TV on demand.
The Okay:
The potato leek soup with cheddar cheese and bacon was okay, had somewhat of a gritty taste to it, like they used a packaged potato starch and it was not yet blended in well enough or cooked enough?
Michael's cheesesteak was on a good crusty roll, but he has had much better, it was still okay.
The Ugly:
We waited for the restaurant to open for lunch, as we had a 1:00 play and they opened a good 15 minutes late, it happens, and others were there and left and decided to not wait, even though a huge running marathon was happening in the area.
Seeing we were the first ones in the door for lunch, we knew that no one had used the booth that we were seated in before the night before and it was filthy. The entire table surface was sticky and there were even discarded used straws on the backside of the table, plus used napkins on the floor. UGH!
I asked if the perogies at $10.00 were homemade and she informed us they were frozen, hello, remove them from the menu or get some homemade ones in that will warrant $10.00 for an appetizer!
2.5 stars, but the sliders were awesome, Go Steelers! ( well maybe next year ).

Victor Cafe

Neighborhood: Newbold
The same bus girl that brought us our hot, crusty and might I add, very delicious bread, sang for us, well not just us, but I had my back turned to her and I said to the hubs, very fitting to have great opera music on a sound track while dining in an Italian restaurant. Hubs said, turn around, the girl that brought us bread is doing the singing! I was so impressed.
I was beyond wowed and commented to our server that she was outstanding and what a great concept, he laughed and said, yes, we all do it, it's a lot of fun, you have to check this place out! When the singing bus girl came back to our table, I was half afraid to ask for more bread, what a star!
Okay, moving on, when you first walk in there is a steep flight of stairs to the right, hello, restrooms and a very cozy lounge are up there, I found it amusing to have a phone on the wall in the restroom, but hey, this place is different, indeed. To the right of walking in is a small bar and bread station, then the restaurant really opens up with multiple dining rooms, they made great use of the space.
The Victor Cafe is a long standing and famed Italian restaurant, with pictures of generations of the DiStefano's adorning the walls, along with numerous famous celebrities. The shelves hold old Victor boxes and of course the RCA pup.
Onto the food, Michael had the Tortelloni Bellini which were filled with beef, veal and pork and in a cognac cream sauce with peas, tomatoes, prosciutto and parmesan cheese, he devoured this dish and lapped up all of the sauce with their wonderful bread.
I was torn between the porcini mushroom stuffed raviolis in a gorganzola cream sauce with pine nuts and diced tomatoes or the chicken parmesan with linguini, so I asked my server to choose and he said his favorite was the chicken parm, so I said good enough. It was a huge portion and very delicious, I now need to return to try the mushroom ravioli dish.
The place is vibrant, a whole lot of fun, great food and I almost felt like I was back in Italy! One note, refills on sodas are a full extra charge.

Not only did he order the salmon, but he ordered the salmon special, which was topped with sauteed spinach, crispy bacon and a creamy Gorgonzola cheese sauce! Hello, we're sharing! With the salmon came squash, which I ended up eating, he does draw his lines, although he did enjoy the herbed jasmine rice.
I had four appetizers, simply because I could not make up my mind and as I said, we did share. The appetizer portions are humongous, one alone is very filling, so needless to say, we brought a lot home. The salmon was a very large portion, cooked beautifully and I loved the flavor combination of the toppings.
I had to order the famous Bang Bang shrimp which were crispy and tossed in a creamy, spicy sauce. I've had these before and it is no wonder many other restaurants have copied this idea. However, for my money, the Saucy Shrimp were absolutely delightful and if I had to choose this is the one I would order. A huge round plate of unbreaded sauteed shrimp tossed with lime, sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives and plenty of feta cheese, delicious!
Our other two appetizers were the twin crab cakes, jumbo lump crab cakes for sure, served with a spicy remoulade sauce. The sauce was needed to kick them up a bit as the cakes themselves did not have much flavor, however they were pretty well all lump crab meat. Last, but certainly not least were six crispy, jumbo coconut shrimp topped with crispy ginger and a sweet and spicy Thai sauce, yum.
Their side dishes are three dollars each and I had to have the potatoes au gratin, so cheesy with real melted cheeses throughout, some of the best I have ever had. A basket of their own baked bread is very good and served warm with an infused oil for dipping.
Jarrad was our very competent and friendly server, this location is fairly new and they were quite busy. I wish they offered more soups, especially during the cold months, but they only have one and that is a crab and corn chowder, neither hubby nor I are into corn chowder, just too sweet.
We used a gift card that we received last Christmas and Bonefish is part of a string of chains, including Fleming's Steakhouse, Carrabba's, Roy's and Outback and the gift card could have been used at any of these, but Michael and I were both thrilled with our dining experience at Bonefish Grill and we will return.
Must mention they also have a cool seating area on their front sidewalk with couches, end and coffee tables, chairs and heaters. Also, during the first two hours they are open is happy hour with selected half priced wines, beers and cocktails.

Another young woman is standing behind the bar with her coat on, she immediately says I will get your check, then she comes back to my table and asks how everything was and as I am explaining to her what we went through, our server comes running and screaming through both dining rooms waving the check in the air, saying, it's right here.
The manager still in her coat, grabs the check, apologizing, then the server interrupted the conversation that I was having with the other manager and said, Now what's wrong? Ha! I said, I'm just explaining to her how horrible the dining experience was and the server said oh, Tom already talked to her and the lady in the coat set the check back on the table.
Michael ordered a coke, which was never refilled and I had water, yet we witnessed table after table getting refills galore, some three times. Cold, soggy food, forgotten meals rang in well after the other food finally arrived, our meals and "service" took four times as long as any one else. Two, single stall restrooms that the employees use as well, both are unisex. First time I ever witnessed Michael only having a few bites of a cheesesteak, he always finishes it.
If I lived in the area I would order take out from them as often as I could, I really would like to return just to try more dishes and relive some of the ones we had, but that will be a very difficult decision, as the service totally destroys the whole experience and the owner just does not care.
I left 0% gratuity and little does she know, I am one of the best tippers that walk though restaurants doors. I was fuming when I left.

Max's is at the corner of a block, connected to row homes on both sides. The building itself dates back to the late 1800's, which was originally a shoe store. In 1912 it became a saloon and survived through prohibition and until 1940, then it was sold and turned into a restaurant, bar. The bar is absolutely magnificent, beautiful woodwork, brass, just gorgeous.
Max's would get 10 stars from me for it's food and history alone. The food, all of it is wonderful and generous portions, extremely flavorful and well prepared, however...
Clams Casino= Scrumptious, New Orleans style, made with cornbread, andouille sausage, peppers, onions and the clams were tender.
Mussel Bisque= Probably the best bisque I have ever had in my life! Brandy infused mussel stock with a hint of tarragon, thyme and a touch of cream, loaded with tender baby mussels that sang in my mouth. Truly outstanding!
Max's Crab Cakes= Crab cakes are either hit or miss with me and these were a home run. Loaded with lots of crab, pan seared, red peppers, a hint of onion, served with a roasted red pepper jam and honey chipolte syrup, served on top of perfectly cooked and seasoned Spanish rice along with a side of grilled zucchini and yellow squash spears. Hello yum!
Grilled Salmon= The largest filet of salmon I have ever had, perfectly grilled, tender, moist, very flaky, perfection! The salmon was topped with a garlic scampi sauce and served on top of scampi linguine, the linguine was over cooked, but I was loving the salmon so much, it did not matter much.
Philly Cheesesteak= What would have been a great cheesesteak was ruined by the bottom of the roll coming out soaked and the accompanying fries lapped up a lot of moisture as well and only a small portion of those could be eaten. This was sad, as you have your choice of hand cut fries, either sweet potato or regular.
Two hours plus, for lunch, when the place only had one other table when we arrived is so frustrating. We ordered the clams casino first, while we skimmed over the extensive menu and they took a good twenty minutes, which I can understand.
But during that time we had been ready to order and our server, who then had three tables had no idea what multi tasking is. I mean I watched her clear maybe one dish and leave it sit off on a side table instead of grabbing it, instead walking into the kitchen empty handed. She could have stopped at all three tables to take the moment to clear, take orders, ask about refills on drinks, but she was a one step pony.
We got our clams. Told her again that we were ready to order, she said she would be right back and finally took our order a good five minutes or more later. She brought out the bisque and other than her flitting by on occasion to inform us again and again that she forgot to bring our bread basket, lol, we still had to remind her after the food finally arrived.
Still empty glasses, still a dirty dish or two on the vestibule stand, the upper level of the restaurant filled up almost completely a good forty to fifty minutes after we were originally seated and they started getting their food well before our entrees came out! There was one other server who was on, who seemed just as batty, I watched her ask one table if they wanted more cokes and she in turn gave them to another table that she had just served a second round of cokes to?
Quite awhile before our food came out, hubs stopped our server and asked if fried onions came on his cheesesteak, she said not unless you request them. That was fine, so he said, it has already taken forever, so if they could just throw some raw ones on. Instead, she had them grill them, all of the food had to be sitting in the kitchen, because it came out ice cold and the bottom of Michael's cheeseteak and fries were soggy.
SO, the destroyed cheesesteak and fries came out, along with the cold crab cake, rice and veggie dish. Where is my salmon and linguine? Oh I did not order that yet, that is my fault, she said, apologized and rang it in! She did not go to a manager, but I asked to speak to one! The upstairs dining room had folks finished eating, getting their checks and leaving and we still did not have all of our food and what we had was cold or soggy!
Tom, the owner manager could have cared less, explaining that she was one of his best servers, although he did go into the kitchen and expedite the salmon dish. At that point we asked for containers and I wrapped everything up to reheat at home, we just wanted out of there. I wrap everything, Michael went out to the car, while I waited a good five minutes for the check.
I finally get up and walk into the bar and ask the other server if she can get my check, she snaps back, I'm not your server! No shit girl, do you honestly think I do not know that, is what I am thinking.

Pamcakes, a Philly Cupcakery

We ordered six to go, which were all packed beautifully in their special brown box and tied with a red and white twine. It was insane trying to decide on which six we wanted to try, so I just kept saying, " I'll have one of these and one of those and this one and that one and how many do I have now?"
One was a Madagascar bourbon vanilla cupcake with a creamy chocolate buttercream frosting, a moist chocolate cake with a vanilla buttercream, a spicy carrot cupcake with walnuts and a cream cheese icing, an oreo cookie and cream cupcake with a vanilla cream frosting topped with cookie crumbs, a peanut butter cup cupcake with double chocolate chip cake, topped with a peanut butter frosting and a peanut butter cup and last but probably my favorite a lemon pucker up cupcake which was lemon cake with a tangy lemon cream cheese frosting!
Are you like so jealous? I can't wait to return so that I can try six new flavors, yes! Oh and the sweetest service too!

London Grill

Neighborhoods: Fairmount, Art Museum District
We opted to sit in one of the dining rooms, which was more like an enclosed sun room and we welcomed the warmth shining in on us. Both dining rooms were filling up quickly and by the time we left the cafe and bar was doing a nice business.
Michael ordered a coke and I thought I would be cute and help myself to their amazing bloody mary bar! Be very careful of that London mix! Way too much London mix and not enough tomato juice and ye gads, for every sip I took I drank one half glass of water!
I was torn between the brisket hash with poached eggs or the fish and chips, but was quickly informed they were out of the hash. We started with the soup of the day which was a cream of potato soup, which I knew was either burned or old or both when I first saw it, as it was not a creamy white but a very distinct tan in color. I had one bite, hubs thought it was okay and decided to finish it.
A fresh fruit salad is served complimentary to each table which was a pleasant surprise. Michael ordered the eggs benedict which can also be ordered eggs Florentine. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the ham was nice and thick with a beautifully made hollandaise sauce. He had asked for them to add onions and peppers to his home fries and they were happy to oblige. He was thrilled with his order and raved over the home fries in particular. As a side he ordered bacon and their bacon is not wonderful, it was thin and very soft.
I loved their hand cut fries and you get enough to feed an army! Three pieces of fish topped my huge plate of fries, the breading was way too thick and not cooked on the inside, even though the fish was cooked perfectly throughout. I ate half of one piece and decided to concentrate on the fries, bringing the fish home to reheat in the oven until the breading was cooked. I like a good crunchy fish and this was certainly not the best I've ever had.
There is one restroom at the top of a very steep and very dirty flight of stairs, I don't think the carpets had been swept in quite some time, the restroom was clean.
I must compliment the staff, I have not witnessed such great teamwork in a long time. It did not matter if it was your section or your table, whoever was in the area cleared your plates as needed, refilled drinks, brought out food, the service was friendly and spot on! Show owner comment »

However if you feel adventurous, you can create your own salad, starting with a base of either lettuces or pasta or a combination of both, then you choose five toppings. I wanted to be creative so I designed two different salads, Both started with a blend of romaine and iceberg, if you want spinach it is available.
On one I asked for avocado, which meant reaching to the middle of the bar and she said she would get it later, but totally forgot about it, mushrooms, red onions, tuna fish, feta cheese and I asked for the Dijon lemon Capri dressing on the side. The dressing is very lemony, I tasted no Dijon mustard, but it was refreshing and a nice change of pace.
One the second one I ordered the same base lettuces, artichokes, carrots, olives, tuna fish, pepper jack cheese and an oriental sesame dressing, it was okay, very sweet and thick, I've had much better. Each salad comes with your choice of a white or wheat roll.
Skimpy, skimpy, skimpy on the toppings, I wanted to completely turn around that salad bar and say here allow me to fix my own! For $8.49 it is not a great deal, I mean a tablespoon of this and that blended with a huge bowl of greens does not cut it.
Once the gal fixes your salad, another person puts it into a to go container spilling half of it all over the counter, yet the one who made it asks immediately, is it for here or to go, so why not just make the salad in the to go container?
And don't even get me started on the lettuce, for a place that is specializing in salads you would think brown leaves should not be served and they chop it all, we found so many pieces of core, including the very bottom root. This store is fairly new so maybe they need to work out the kinks and hopefully they will start by reading my review.
In addition to salads, they serve a rotating cycle of various soups, wraps, fusion sandwiches and paninis.They also sell an assortment of cookies and brownies, along with only cold drinks.
I took both salads home, dumped both into a large bowl and added a lot more "toppings". A salad bar would make a lot more sense at these prices, where you can create your own, have as much toppings as your little heart desires and hopefully no brown lettuce or cores.

For months upon months Cichetteria 19 acknowledged that we made our reservations through Opentable and awarded us our 1000 bonus points. Then all of a sudden, a good month or so ago, C-19 claims we did not make our reservations through Opentable, but directly through them, so alas, I lost all of my points for dining there, even though I was able to prove that I did use Opentable, as I am lousy and lazy about cleaning out my emails.
Once I sent my confirmation email to Opentable, they said they would re award the 1000 points, but still have not, a good 6 weeks later!
Dishonest business practices, I will not dine here again! Real people, honest reviews! Show owner comment » -

I dined at C19 in February and since then, have been anxiously awaiting a return visit . I did not want to fill up on cichetti ( Venetian small plates ), but I was definitely into trying the prime hanger steak and supposedly "one of the best burgers in Philadelphia", I don't know about in Philly, but it is one of the top burgers that I have ever had in my life!
They were out of hanger steak and NY strip steak, they buy locally and when they are out, they are out, so we opted for the flank steak and it was awesome little tidbits from heaven, served medium rare. It came with crispy home fried potatoes and caramelized onions, which were delicious as well. We were charged for the NY strip steak, twenty-eight dollars and the portion was more like an appetizer plate, if you took away the potatoes, but the few thin and very small pieces that we had were luscious.
My burger came with perfectly prepared hand cut truffle frites sprinkled with sea salt, outstanding! The burger itself was topped with roasted leeks, mushrooms and a Gorgonzola cheese on the perfect sesame seed bun, a burger and fries worth going out of your way for!
I'm not sure what I have fallen in love with more here, the food is outstanding and different for sure, the cozy atmosphere or the oh so friendly owner Andrea who stopped by our table a few times to chat or Maria, our server from our previous visit who remembered us, or our server Rita who was a pleasure. We were even introduced to a regular who was dining there, Elizabeth., with whom we chatted with for quite awhile. Such a friendly vibe, very relaxing and once again, I can't wait to return!
Salute Cichetteria 19! -

Cichetteria 19 is Philadelphia's first authentic Venetian eatery and osteria (pub) and quite possibly the first in America, ( pronounced chik-eh-terria ). The restaurant is located in the affluent Rittenhouse Square area where one would normally find inflated menu prices, but like the Cichetterias in Venice, C19 has kept the prices friendly for friends and neighbors to gather without clearing your wallet.
Small plates have become very popular and C19 offers an abundance of tantalizing small plates and many with an Italian influence. Choosing is not as easy as one would think, so at one for $7.00, three for $15.00 or five for $25.00, I would recommend ordering five, especially for two or more people to share. On this visit, our first time here, we ordered three cichetti ( Venetian small plates ) because mentioning Yelp gave us one more. Although the next time around I will not restrain myself from ordering five..
I started with a dirty martini, even though it was made with vodka it was very powerful and so large that even the lush in me and my love for dirty martinis could only finish 2/3's of it, it was huge! Hubby had a coke which was served in the old glass bottle with ice on the side. With our drinks we were served an awesome thick sliced bread, drenched in oil and grilled, it was so moist and incredibly delicious!
Between the two of us we shared the Baccala, Venizianna cured cod on a soft black polenta, which was salty and okay, I would not order it again, the Venetian Prime aged meatballs served in a tomato sauce were the best meatballs hubby and I have ever shared, yes I did just say that! They were flavorful, dense and large enough to satisfy the hungriest appetite.
The pate' of the day served on top of their awesome in house made bread was artichoke pate' and I never say no to artichokes and it was an interesting blend, I really enjoyed this one and the portions of their tapas are generous to say the least. Our final small plate was a Tramezzino of eggs and anchovies, which was their version of an egg salad served on top of their perfectly awesome homemade bread topped with a white anchovy filet, again it redefined egg salad and was outstanding!
Instead of ordering entrees, which sounded tempting, we each ordered a pizza, which we thought would be personal sized pizzas, not! They were the size of any large pizza you would order, both served on a scumptious flatbread style crust, ultra thin. The owner/manager had told us that they just hired a new chef from Roma to concentrate on the pizzas and crust. If you had their pizza in the past and were not satisfied with the crust, you do need to give them another try.
With that said, the toppings are skimpy, but creative and flavorful. Hubby had a pizza Rosa, the Polpette with a tangy tomato sauce, light mozzarella cheese, I saw no basil and maybe one, possibly two Prime aged meatballs cut and scattered on top. I had a pizza bianca, the Basano with gorganzola cheese baked into the top of the crust, sliced figs, prosciuitto and arugula, I fell in love, I wished it had more figs and cheese, I wish I had a slice of it right now. It made my taste buds sing.
I want to return soon to try the hanger steak or supposedly the best burger in Philly according to one article I read which has roasted leeks, a gorganzola cheese and sliced mushrooms, served with truffle fries. Hello yum, C19 has me hooked. They do need to update their website as we were charged $17.00 for each pizza and their site states $15., pretty sure we saw $15.00 on our menus too, but it was worth every penny, even if they are shy on the toppings.
C19 is both inviting inside and out and during the warmer months they have sidewalk tables set up and open the large ceiling to floor door like windows in the front to bring it all together. However in the colder months it proves to be a cozy nook with a short flight of well used white marble steps taking you into a warm and inviting pub and dining room with rich wooden tables and comfortable benches and chairs.
Cichetteria 19 opened their doors one year ago this month and proves to be doing a good business, I for one, can not wait to return! I hear that during happy hours C19 is very crowded and I can understand why with their awesome cichetti, flatbread pizzas and very reasonably priced and potent cocktails.
The staff is ultra friendly and they along with the owner/manager all work together to ensure you enjoy an ultimate dining experience. Our server Maria was very helpful to us for our first visit.
Parking is a bear here as it is all metered street parking and our dinner reservations were on a Sunday. They have a reasonably priced tasting menu along with a wine pairing, pasta and risotto dishes, fresh fish selections, poultry and meats. This small restaurant tucked inside Rittenhouse Square is chock full of tantalizing tastes and libations.

Current CrushMy hubby, he's my best friend too!
But, the sushi bar offers it all, fresh, delicious and fast! So many rolls to choose from and the prices are incredibly reasonable. The list goes on and on for sushi, soups, salads, appetizers, bento boxes, entrees, including tempura, katsu, Don Buri, teriyaki, the rices, noodles and so on, I'm thrilled!
We started with the Shumai ( shrimp dumplings ), the striped bass shashimi, the Danny roll and the lobster tempura roll, all were so fresh, beautifully created and delectable. Can you hear my excitement? Michael got hibachi steak and shrimp and they offer your choice of white rice or fried rice at no extra charge, changing it to noodles is one dollar. I tried the tempura Udon/Soba, which was a new venture for me and I was delighted, shrimp and vegeatbles with noodles in a heart warming broth.
There is a small waiting area, once you've entered with folks mainly waiting for take out orders, they also offer delivery. The restaurant has approximately 16 booths and the sushi bar. Parking is queer, I would love to meet the person who drew those yellow lines, I mean I am in no way on the heftier side and the vehicles, even compact just fit in and it is still hard opening your door and crawling out, without a struggle.
