Reviews for Talula's Garden in Philadelphia, PA
*HIGHLY RECOMMEND* 5/5 Stars Talula's Garden is highly rated and for a good reason. The place is nicely decorated, a chic... farmhouse style with lots of plants. The produce they use are super fresh as it comes directly from theproducers/farmers/gardeners etc. The one page seasonal menu has lots of options and prices are a bit on the higher side. But thequality of the food is definitely there and you’ll be leaving very satisfied. We ordered the summer Tomato soup, tuna andwatermelon ceviche which was super refreshing for the summer, Seared sea scallop and gulf shrimp, and Smoked pork belly. Alsothe basil ice cream in the warm blueberry peach crisp was to die for!! *VERDICT* Definitely will come back again! I want to trytheir brunch next! Read more
Wow the food here is absolutely fabulous! The attention to detail of how each of the ingredient is being used yields the most... delicious and flavorful plate. The toast was perfectly crispy. The avocado toast is really delicious with slices of radish andlots of pistachios on top and just the right amount of acidity from lemon juice. We got the eggs Benedict. The eggs wereperfectly poached. The potatoes are the best breakfast potatoes we have ever had. They were crispy on the outside and perfectlycooked in the inside, tender and not too dry. We also got the chicken and waffles which were delicious. The chocolatecroissants were incredible. The local scramble with bacon was delicious! The food here is tasty! We are looking forward tocoming back here again. The outdoor seating and garden is also very cute and a pretty place to enjoy. Read more
I'll stick on 4 star since I can't do decimals. In some ways, this fell a little short of expectations for, what I think is, a... Starr flagship restaurant. The service is pretty much 5-stars at all his places - he mandates that and I'll call that out assomething you will ALWAYS get at Starr location. Great location and pretty decor. Atmosphere of other patrons was a littlestuffy but that's circumstantial. The food felt like it was somewhere between a 3.5 and 4. Tasty and fresh without a doubt butmaybe lacked some complexity or extra oomf I was looking for. The waiter made suggestions and we veered off of them for someitems, and after we got we wanted he told us one of the items we got was 'what they're known for' - Confusing statement...ifyou're known for something, why wouldn't you recommend it? ??????? Also, for some reason, they let the restaurant get to asweltering temperature and for a period I couldn't get the attention of anyone to say something about it and it made enjoyingthe meal unpleasant. The mushroom soup was bananas- good. We really liked the Ravioli also. I'll revisit at some point to seeif it maintains but as far as 4 stars, this was more like high 3s. Read more
Great place ! We recommend this place and make a reservation !! Even if there is a lot of seating, reservations are strongly... recommended. You will be very welcomed by the team. While waiting for your table, get a cocktail at the bar. The bartender iscool and makes good cocktails, well balanced ! Then we experienced the muffins to start and to share... Hum delicious ! Theburger to follow was amazing (cooked medium for everyone - perfect !) And benedictine eggs were juicy. We loved the atmosphereas well. We will go back ! Read more
Yet another strong showing from one of the Starr Restaurants. Starting with the service, very attentive and professional. You... can tell that they don't skimp on their workforce, there's enough well-trained staff on the floor that the guests are trulytaken cared of. The drink was well made (we asked for the Pilot but with gin and not too sweet, and they adjusted nicely). Theappetizer was ricotta ravioli with some pickled vegetables, which may sound slightly unusual for me but they pulled it off well.We had 2 entrees. First the roasted chicken with crispy skin, perfectly done, not oily at all, it felt like eating a fullfledged fried chicken but without most of the sins. Second was the Pennsylvania short rib, also very nice and smoky flavor.Dessert was the Key Lime souffle + Graham ice cream, beautiful combination of tangy & slightly sweet. Can't wait to come backand try the rest of the menu. Of note, a friend of mine was telling me to try the cheese plate appetizer next time. Read more
The food was really good. The menu changes every month. Nothing was disappointing. Everything was very flavorful and they were... bold flavors. This is a great place for romantic dates and it is a bit pricey but it’s not too bad. The price is worth it forthe food you’re getting. I would come again. Read more
Delicious! From the first walk down the alley into the dark foyer, I was impressed and excited to eat. It was beautifully... decorated inside and out. The waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. The cocktail and wine selection were perfect and went wellwith the meal. For appetizers, the mushroom pizza was phenomenal. Seafood was our choice for dinner and it did not disappoint! Read more
We had a great dining experience here, we told the server that we were in a rush, and she really make sure our food arrive... quickly. We ordered a cucumber salad, bisque my biscuit, pork belly and scallop, everything is very well made especially thepork belly, the flavor is rich but not overpowering, the scallops are fresh and tasty. The only thing that I didn’t quit enjoywas the cucumber salad, it’s a bit plain, maybe that’s what they were going for. But overall good food and services. Read more
