Pif is the most overrated restaurant we have ever been to.
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Pif is the most overrated restaurant we have ever been to. We recently went to Pif as a party of four on a Friday night. Pif was half empty which tells you something. Bottom line Pif is by far the most overrated restaurant we have ever been in PHL or elsewhere. We had four appetizers and four entrees. None was outstanding or even good. The steak was a poor cut and badly prepared. The veal was inedible. Even the signature escargot appetizer was mediocre. Service was terrible. The coffee was cold and it took 20 minutes to get a warm cup. We have subsequently talked to other couples who love the Philadelphia BYOB scene and they have all been substantially disappointed by PIF. Don’t waste your time and money with so many other good BYOB restaurants in Philly. We were very embarassed to bring guests

Pros: None really

Cons: Mediocre food. Terrible service. Waited 20 minutes for cold coffee

Know Before You Go

This is a place for intimate gatherings--it's very petite--so no parties of 10, and do make reservations.
