" Taking my family to The Good King Tavern was a treat! It provided a unique dining experience with its stylish decor and friendly environment. The menu is filled with an array of exciting options. I tried the chickpea pancakes while others went for the steak — everyone enjoyed their meal! To top it off, our waitress suggested the vanilla crème brûlée, which made for a perfect ending to the night. Will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing little tavern! My partner and I popped in for a casual dinner and were blown away by the quality of the food. The beef tartare was superb, and honestly among the best I've ever had! Plus our server was really knowledgeable about the menu and recommended a lovely rosé that paired nicely with our meal. We capped the evening with desserts that were equally delightful. Can't wait to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough about how wonderful my experience was at The Good King Tavern. The drinks were well-made and spectacular, and the ambiance positively contributed to the delightful meal. The steak was executed well, and although the fries could have used a touch more seasoning, it still felt very satisfying overall. Dessert was a delectable lemon tart that hit the spot. It’s a lovely place I would recommend for a cozy dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a charming, low-key dining experience with great French food, look no further than The Good King Tavern. During our visit, we started with the chickpea pancakes, which were unique and full of flavor, a nice way to start our meal. The ambiance is relaxed, making it a perfect spot for hanging out with friends over cocktails. The service was attentive, but the food could use a little more consistency. I'd still recommend the place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at The Good King Tavern was thoroughly enjoyable. We arrived without a reservation on a busy weekend evening but were delighted that they managed to accommodate us. The atmosphere felt welcoming and cozy, just what we were looking for. The star of the evening was definitely the steak frites — cooked to perfection! While the fries were a tad on the salty side, the balance of flavors made up for it. Of course, we had to try their famous cocktails, and we were not disappointed. A mixologist was behind the bar crafting unique drinks that paired well with our meal. I'd recommend this spot to anyone looking for authentic French bistro vibes in the heart of Philadelphia.

" I was captivated by The Good King Tavern! Every dish was excellent, and our waiter was competent and friendly. I opted for fish, and it was fresh and cooked perfectly. The dessert, a rich and velvety chocolate mousse, left me wanting more. You'll find a fantastic atmosphere, and I truly enjoyed the evening here with friends. It's a lovely addition to the Philadelphia dining scene, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure to visit this lovely tavern and I couldn't be happier with my meal. The cocktails were out of this world, and the ambiance was perfect for casual dining. I ordered the beef tartare — the flavors were fresh and showcased delightful preparation. Although I thought the portions were a bit small for the price, I understand the quality of ingredients used. Overall, I'd give it a thumb’s up and will definitely return for more cocktails and tapas! " (*Curated Review*)
