Finally got a very difficult-to-get reservation the day after Christmas. Heard so much about the festive atmosphere and it definitely did not disappoint. It is like Christmas on steroids. Not a very big place, so really no place to wait if your table is not ready yet. Food was average, but not the main attraction. Brussel sprouts were amazing. Drinks and desserts (milkshakes) are a must!! The entire time we were seated, 5 tables around us sat empty. Not sure if it was because they were short-staffed, but certainly leads to the hard-to-get reservation.

A bit of a Tourist Trap! Featured in Philly Grub, definitely has the decoration and “pop-up” Spring Blossom. But hey it’s all plastic stuff. That’s fine but they didn’t have the delicious $5 Evil Genius Festive on tap. So we drank a Levante Pilsner instead. Not bad. Also ordered the $6 fried pickles. Perfectly cooked but could probably double the portion size for that price. Maybe I don’t get the kitsch but if u want an authentic pub in Philly, there are many other great options

I came in over the weekend and had a lovely time. I was immediately met with such a warm welcome, the hostess was so kind and outgoing it felt really good, I asked her how she likes it here and she answered it was her first day I was shocked because she was so professional and engaging with me you can tell she’s been in this industry for a while, we even talked about make up she was super friendly. I sat at the bar and the drinks were amazing and the food was OUTSTANDING! Their service was nothing like I’ve experienced before! I’ll definitely be back and hopefully have the same experience. Thank you

My ex-wife’s favorite place. Now I know why. The espresso martini was delicious. The shrimp sandwich was very good but I had Oder envy when I saw the burger. The sauce for the chicken sticks is amazing. Bacon roses? Genius! Fun decor. Very good service.

This place was great. They rotate themes and menus. The food was so good. I got the blooming garden burger and my wife got the pasta Alfredo. We split fried pickles. The signature cocktails were really good. Well balanced and not overly sweet. I would highly recommend this place for food or drinks

The bar was all decked out in flowers and it’s so much fun! Food and drinks are excellent and interesting (in a very good way). The service is warm and friendly. Burger with a blooming onion is unlike anything I’ve ever had before. Chicken tenders with the bacon rose is entertaining and delicious. The dessert, an orange milkshake with a giant cookie and candied orange slices is wonderful and over the top decadent. A happy experience. Lovely inventive cocktails.

we went for lunch and it was absolutely delicious… I don’t ever eat burgers, but I decided to get one there and it was the best burger I’ve ever had in my life!!! Our server was so nice and did everything she could for us the drinks or absolutely delicious and the decorations in there were outstanding. I would honestly say that it was a bit pricey although we paid for really great food and an experience so it was worth it. They do also add 20% gratuity on the bill but for how amazing everything was, I would say it was completely worth it. I highly recommend and I will be coming back!!
