My girlfriend and I went to Philadelphia for the weekend and decided on Derek's. Let me start of by saying that everyone was super nice. The hostess especially!!! After being 1 hour late for our reservation (traffic) the hostess catered to our every need. She even carried out a conversation as she greeted us. on top of all that, she sat us in the bar came back like 2 minutes later and told us she had a much better seat where it would be more comfortable and it would be quieter. Our server was actually delightful as well.
As for the food, I would say just average. I am defiantly a food connoisseur and it takes a lot to impress me. My first mistake was ordering a steak when I wasn't eating at a steak restaurant. The appetizers where delicious so maybe we should have had something else to eat.
I am really writing to rave about the perfect service and delightful experience in Philadelphia.
Pros: Service
Cons: Bland Steak
