In Short
There is so much to like about Rx. Sunny and spacious, the former drugstore attracts quiet Penn couples and neighborhood families. Neat shelves display apothecary antiques. Half-and-half is served in tiny beakers. Local farmers provide ingredients. The kitchen bakes up squares of macaroni and cheddar, granola, as well as sweet potato soup with chili peppers, and hanger steak with fried potatoes.

I was referred to RX by various frens due to recommendations of fantastic and authentic american breakfast. The service was totally unprofessional! We were served HALF the usual portion and the waiter did not even falter when question about it and seem unfazed!... He only returned briefly after checking with the kitchen to inform us abt the minor mistake! It was totally unacceptable behavior! Where is the customer service? The food was only decent but the experience left a sour taste. Will not return again.

Eclectic offerings for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Combined locally grown produce into novel combinations that were refreshingly delicious and beautifully presented on the plate. The atmosphere was hip and friendly. Staff and diners all seemed to be having fun. Funky decor featuring century old features of the apothecary mingling with new photography of local artists. The owner greeted everyone at their table personally. All in all, a great experience!

I'm used Greg to cater luncheons 3x now and their food is really fresh and local and very tasty. They make this hazelnut dessert that is one of the best things I've ever had. I've been to the byob in West Philly too - dinner is very good and I hear brunch it too.
