Editorial Review for Devon Seafood Grill – by Frances Nguyen
In Short
Those who step down from the tiled bar area will find the rear dining room is unexpectedly large, with upholstered booths and tables flanked by comfortable armchairs. The young waitstaff (in spiffy black vests and pants) serve up steaks, chicken entrees and, as the name indicates, seafood. Standards include a seared tuna appetizer with a gingery side sauce, smoked salmon with a sour cream, dill and caper dressing, and creamy, meaty Maryland crab cakes.

First off, we were seated very promptly. By "We", I mean there was a group of 5 of us that was celebrating my girlfriend's birthday. The atmosphere was considerably spirited and buzzing on a Saturday night, as expected, and it was welcoming to both groups and romantic parties. The cocktail and wine menus were robust and very tantilizing. I do not have enough room to elaborate on each entree dish that was ordered, so I shall talk about the two that my girlfriend and I ordered. But, rest assured that each dish was exquisitely prepared and scrumptious all the same. To start, we ordered the JUMBO LUMP CRAB CAKES appetizer and it was definitely a melt in your mouth experience. The crab meat was fresh and melted-butter soft & tender. The sauces that came with it were very complementary and gave the dish a swicy (i.e. sweet and spicy) richer flavor. My lady ordered the chilean seabass with mashed potatoes, which she cannot stop talking about. I ordered one of the seasonal preparations of mahi mahi and yes, it was AMAZING!!! from the elegant presentation and fresh preparation to the sophisticated flavors that test each of your taste bud zones. Although the food was unforgettable I shall not forget about how FABULOUS the SERVICE was. Our waitress was extremely polite, accommodating, level-headed, and down to earth. She was such a great server that we thanked her by giving here a piece of the coldstone creamery cake we brought to the restaurant with us. Need I say that she also got a very generous tip. So, GO FORTH NOW and DINE AT DEVON'S!!!!
Pros: Service, Food, Dynamic Atmosphere (for groups and romantic dining)
Cons: None

I went to this restaurant with a group of people from work. The service was great and so was the food. The crab cakes are not made with imitation crab meat. You can actually taste the freshness of real crab meat as it hits your tongue. I tried lobster bisque for the first time and it was delicious. It has a very smooth taste to it, with a touch of spice, but not too much to the point where you'll experience heart burn. If you are looking for a seafood restaurant in Philly (and trust me, there are quite a few) Devon's Seafood Grill should definitely be on your list. Great place for groups for lunch, and can also be a good place to take a date or dine with the significant other.
Pros: Great seafood and excellent service.
Cons: If you drive, you will have to pay for parking in a lot or find street parking.
