Reviews for Devon Seafood & Steak in Philadelphia, PA
Really lovely place! The firecracker cauliflower is absolutely a must have. The lump crab cakes are soft, and there's a mango... tartar sauce that's amazing. I wouldn't have thought to put mango in tartar sauce, but somehow it works very well. The friedcalamari is okay but not the best. However, it's a quite a large portion. The drinks pictured are the blood orange spritz andespresso martini, both very good as well. Overall, a great place. Read more
First; our waitresses was AWESOME. She was congenial, knowledgeable, and on point! Her service made the difference in our... experience. As far as the restaurant; it was as good as its reputation. Upscale seafood house. Traditional, classic decor.Quiet, low key atmosphere, but not stuffy or snooty. Lots of booths (I love booths). Very professional staff. And the foodwas EXCELLENT. From the salad to the desert, it was all delicious. 10 out of 10, would definitely recommend! Read more
I had a nice dinner here with my family for a special occasion tonight. Parking would definitely be a problem that you would... have to deal with. It wasn’t easy to find a street parking around Rittenhouse square. You would have to test your lucksometimes. We usually park at the parking lot near Barnes and Nobles. I came here with my husband, my 4yo, and a 6mos old babyin her baby stroller. We were directed to a booth seat. There were 5 steps leading down to the dining room, which wasn’t tooconvenient for family with strollers or people with wheelchairs. Although there was an elevator on the side of the stairs, butit was not offered. Not sure if it was out of order or not. But it wasn’t a big issue with us. The hostess did offer to give ahand. It was when we leaving the restaurant that we carry the stroller up the short flight of stairs. Our waiter was very niceand friendly. The food was alright. This is our 3rd time dining in here. I feel like this time the food wasn’t as good as thelast two visits. I’m not sure if they had switched chefs. We ordered fried calamari, shrimp cocktail, 18oz prime angus bone inribeye with lobster mac n cheese and lobster risotto, and creme brûlée as dessert. Overall, it was a nice dinner. Read more
I’ve been to Devon for Restaurant Week in the past, but this time around the food was even better! The servings were generous... and the quality had improved from my past visits, sometimes a hand off that comes with Restaurant Week dining. I woulddefinitely recommend. Read more
I was looking forward to having dinner at Devon. The cocktails were great. The goat cheese appetizer was fantastic but it went... downhill from there. I ordered the Lemon Shrimp Campanelle. It wasn’t anything special. It was just ok. Overall, we were alittle disappointed. Unfortunately, Parc decided to close that evening so Devon was more crowded than expected. The waitress wasgood but clearly overwhelmed. She did her best. I know good help is really hard to find right now so I am not taking stars awaybecause of the service. This is strictly about the food.

We ate Monday Jan 3 at 2pm. We had the restaurant to ourselves. Collectively we enjoyed the lobster roll, scallops, ahi tuna... and Cajun shrimp accompanied by a Gewürztraminer white wine. We will be back. Often. The scallops were properly seared tolock in the juices resulting in a moist and flavorful dish. The mashed potatoes were uninspired and a little watery for mytaste. My wife also had oysters as an appetizer and they were both fresh and delicious. The ahi tuna, ordered rare, wasexceptional. The roasted potatoes were nicely seasoned and both the flavor and texture complimented the tuna. The lobster rollwas traditional and quite good. The Cajun shrimp was spicy and hot as expected. The wait staff was attentive without hovering.As you can see in the pictures the building is attractive and cared for. Sheltered and heated outdoor dining is available as anoption. Pricing was reasonable. Full meal for 4, a dozen oysters, cocktail (15) and wine (60) brought the total to 250 oraround $60 per person. Read more
The new host in training wasn’t as pleasant as the trainer. We were seating outside in not so great chairs, we had to... rearrange them ourselves. 20 minutes after placing our order we were informed that they didn’t have our choice cut of meat.The shrimp cocktail appetizer was amazing! They had a good selection of wines. The seafood mix was a good amount of food! Themashed potatoes were really yummy! Our server was good but had to be promoted. Read more
My fiancé and I went for lunch today May 14, 2022 at this restaurant. It was our first time here. I simply chose this spot... because I was hoping for some great scallops. My fiancé ordered oysters, 18 oz Ribeye, asparagus, lobster Mac n Cheese and aDirty Martini. I ordered scallops, parmesan-herb Yukon potatoes, Mac n Cheese, a Watermelon Margarita and yuengling. We ratedthis restaurant a strong three. My fiancé and I, liked the bread our server brought out before our food arrived the most. Myfiancé enjoyed the oysters as well. The Yukon potatoes were well seasoned and delicious. However, every thing else was justok. The steak was wonderfully seasoned, yet had alot of fat and looked more like a 12 oz rather than a 18 oz. The scallopstasted a bit rubbery was over cooked with very little to no seasoning. The Mac n Cheese was bland. Our server Darrian waswonderful. The ambience was great. We will probably not be eating here again. Read more
