Best Brunch in Philly!!!

by kernickxb

So I was in Supper for Brunch this past weekend and it was amazing. I'd been for dinner bunch of times and it was always great and our waiter recommended we come in for brunch. It was great! They have a bloody mary list that is awesome, mine had clam juice and a pickled quail egg and was crazy good and my Fiancee had the one with gin and cucumber and it was great. And the food is awesome too. The french toast is deep fried. Oh yes, deep fried and AMAZING and the Frittata was great too. They had taken their Squash soup off the menu, which is my favorite soup ever! I'm sure the new one is good but it cannot compare. And the music at brunch was great. Go here for brunch or dinner and you will not be disappointed. I used to love Sabrina's and this is my new top spot.

• Pros: Awesome Bloody Mary's and great Music
• Cons: I miss the soup

Great Atmosphere, Amazing Food

by LittleJ

I've been to Supper numerous times and every experience has been excellent. The food is delicious and the servers knowledgeable and friendly. I think some people just don't get that Supper is the type of restaurant where you're supposed to sample numerous items from the menu to get the whole experience. Every time I go I order a couple hors d'oeuvres and a couple regular plates. I always feel very satisfied and the cost is no more than any other fine restaurant in the city. I'm a big fan of this place; it's a great addition to the Philly restaurant scene.

• Pros: Food, Service, Decor
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Horribly overpriced and poor food

by Mrfaces

The service was mediocre. Our waiter tried his best to put a positive spin on the food but seemed to hesitate recommending certain items. We eventually found out why.

The roasted chicken was such a small portion, cold and slightly pink. We were told that Supper keeps it's chicken in a warm bath at 200 degrees so it was ok (sound like a catering method?). After complaining I received another piece of chicken that was literally the size of half a dollar bill. It was pathetic.

In addition, the 2 scallop entree was horribly bland.

The actual restaurant decor was nice looking. Unfortunately, the food was poor to mediocre at best and horribly over-priced.

I also became quickly tired of watching the food delivery person twirling plates in his hands and run around not knowing where to drop off dishes. In addition, Chef "Mitch" appeared to do more tableside BSing than actual cooking which was a shame since his online resume appears impressive.

I could not recommend this restuarant in good faith to anyone.

• Pros: ambience
• Cons: Food taste, portion size, value,

Looks cute, not that great

by pommie25

I had some average expectations for this place- it looks cute and I love BYOs and little restaurants, not a fan of the over-priced, not that quality Steven Starr restaurants in the city.

THe interior was very smoky since the kitchen is exposed, which I tend to like, but they needed stonger kitchen fans to rid of the smokiness in the place.

THe food was strange as well- I had the bibb lettuce salad and the buttermilk dressing was very strong and heavy. This may be due to fresh whole milk being used, who knows, but was not a fan at all.

The scallops I ordered were 2 ona plate- tiny entree, but tasty.

We had the lemon sorbet and again, there must have been some strong whole milk or some organic milk since it was very heavy and tasted gamey. Very odd. Never had anything with milk taste like that before.

Over priced and a shame it is so, since it looks so cute and has potential

• Pros: cute interior
• Cons: weird tasting plates with milk in them, smoky (from the cooking) sitting area

Simply Superb--Where to Eat When You Can't be in Paris

by TwoUrbanistas

If you like European style dining, Supper is the place for you. A superior menu with small portions that allows you to put together a wonderful taste experience. Share two appetizers, then move on to sharing two main dishes, and wind up with the fabulous Farmer's Plate, a selections of delicious meats and cheeses. Add a bottle of "water with gas" and two bottles of wine, and it's the closest thing to the Marais or the Left Bank on this side of the Atlantic. Enjoy some of the best waiters around, who never leave dirty dishes on the table. Mitch & Co. are to be congratulated for bringing European elegance to Bella Vista. We live two blocks away and Supper is our now favorite restaurant, a nice break from Sabrina's wholesome hippie-ness. It's a great place for a romantic evening midweek. Big eaters in cargo pants, Nikes, and oversize T-shirts should go elsewhere.

• Pros: Beautiful decor, great service, tasty menu

Avoid at all Cost!!!!!!!

by hederal

Do not go to this restaurant. Frist of all, the help is nasty and obviously trained to sell outrageously expensive appetizer sized dishes that are like you get at a cocktail party on a butler's tray. What a joke! Not only was the food expensive but you left hungry. They also had the nerve to charge $11.00 for a mixed drink. The kicker to the whole deal is that that part of South Street on a Saturday evening is a mangerie of Police and freaks!

The guy that created this restaurant may have talent as a chef but is a frist class RIP OFF ARTIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Cons: A complete rip-off!

Best Brunch I've had in Philadelphia

by danielle80

I had been to Supper once for dinner and was thrilled with everything! The food, atmosphere, and service. The menu was creative and tasty, which was perfect for my family, I love sea food, my husband is a meat and potatoes guy, and my teenager is a vegatrian so it's diffucult for us to all find a place that we all can enjoy, and we finally did! I was pleased when I found out that Supper did Brunch on Sundays, as I make sure my family gets together on Sundays to spend together, and this was the perfect place for it. We went father's day and everything was unbeliveable. I am going back this Sunday for Brunch and I am very excited

• Pros: diverse menu, amazing brunch, warm atmosphere

Excellent fresh food!

by llicata79

When you walk in you immediately notice that Supper has nothing to hide. The kitchen is open, the decor is minimal but pretty, and the food reflects that vibe. There aren't any HUGE plates or overwhelming sauces, just well prepared meals that have great flavor. There were a lot of familiar flavors and lots of vegetarian choices, yet there was a distinctive flair to everything we ate. The desert was TERRIFIC! I can't wait to eat here again.

• Pros: open, airy, great staff, wide range of food choices, good wine/beer selection
• Cons: yes, on the pricey side, but well worth the money

Thank god it's two blocks from our house

by mandmphila

When Supper opened just two blocks from our house we waited about two months before we ate there because we have so many favorites in the city already. When we finally went in it was for drinks after a dinner we had at another restaurant. The service was great, the drinks were creative, so we returned the following week for dinner. It was one of our best "suppers" in Philly ever. The tangerine soup was flawless, the pork belly was done to perfection. We then returned the very next week for brunch. It is now our favorite brunch spot hands down. What a great departure from the shabby-shabby places like the morning glory and Sabrina?s that are filled with mobs of suburban families, and wana-be hipsters. The chef, Mitch, is friendly, the staff is warm, the decor is beautiful without being over-stated. Thank god for Supper, we love it there.

• Pros: The quality of the food, creativity of the menu
• Cons: I can't eat there every night
