" If you're looking for a fantastic brunch spot, a.kitchen+bar should definitely be on your list! I tried the gnocchi, which was decadent and delicious. The atmosphere is light and welcoming. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made meal recommendations that fit perfectly for our group. Though the prices felt a bit on the higher side, the overall experience compensated for it very nicely. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited a.kitchen+bar on a busy Saturday night and while the ambiance was lively, I felt a bit overwhelmed by the noise level. My server was friendly, but service was slower than I expected which put a damper on the experience. The food was flavorful, especially the octopus, but the portion sizes were smaller than I hoped. Overall, a pleasant evening, but maybe not worth the hype. " (*Curated Review*)

" a.kitchen+bar has become my go-to spot for brunch! Their creative takes on classic dishes always leave me satisfied. The atmosphere is vibrant and cheerful, and the service has been consistently great throughout my visits. I highly recommend trying the pancakes; they are light and fluffy! Even though it can be a little loud, the energy is fun and worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I arrived at a.kitchen+bar hoping for an enjoyable meal, but I left feeling underwhelmed. The food was average at best and didn’t showcase the ingredients as I expected. The service, while friendly, was sluggish, taking forever for our entrees to arrive. The ambiance was pleasant but marred by gremlins of inefficiency. I doubt I will return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried a.kitchen+bar and was truly impressed by the quality of the food. The dishes were not only visually appealing but also incredibly tasty, especially the fish of the day. The atmosphere was intimate and stylish, making it a perfect spot for date night. Service was attentive, although we experienced a slight delay with our drinks. Despite that, I left feeling satisfied and would highly recommend trying their seasonal menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" a.kitchen+bar is a gem in Philly! I sat at the chef's counter and had an incredible view of the kitchen. Everything was crafted with care, and the flavors were vibrant. The duck I ordered was exceptional, and the dessert options were equally impressive. My only complaint would be the noise level during peak dining hours, but the incredible food and service more than made up for it. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The space is charming, but the food did not live up to its reputation. My dish lacked seasoning and I was disappointed given the price. The service was fine, if not a bit rushed. I love a lively atmosphere, but it was almost too much. A mixed experience and I might not return based on my meal. " (*Curated Review*)
