Amuse, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Restaurant Details

Food:

This well-guarded treasure in the lobby of the Le Méridien just north of City Hall offers out-of-this-world French cuisine and lovely service in an old-school setting; although some think it needs a remodeling and the menu could use some updating, many consider it a special place to go.

Food:

Wonderful restaurant really good. Food

Food:

Located immediately inside Le Meridien hotel, I thought this upscale French contemporary had a strong winter menu, albeit pricey in hindsight. A nice wine list/bar menu too, with several 3oz and 9oz wine pours. On paper, course options danced. Complimentary scallop amuse bouche was a nice touch. Dish presentations were excellent. But the sweetbread apps were dry and tasteless. Lobster bouillabaisse was pretty good, with a nice sized portion, but simple. Chocolate mousse, peanut butter mousse cake, and accompanying petits fours looked better than they actually tasted. The restaurant has potential and I'd be willing to give it another shot with different dishes. Our server did a great job, the staff was friendly, and overall table service was spot on. Decor was modern, stone/wood, with very dim lighting if reading the menu print is a concern. Fireplace was lit and added to a quiet, refined ambiance (January). Plenty of street parking too (Thursday night after 7). But I left feeling disappointed for the price paid.

Food:

Great restaurant, let alone hotel restaurant. Clean, fresh food and great ambiance.
