So much better than before

by JeffH1212

This place has improved a ton. Its a great casual hangout at the bar or a nice place to have a get together in this neighborhood. Since around the fall of 08 theyve had a new chef and the food and menu have improved a lot so I'm glad they are going in a better direction. Stocked bar, friendly people, and sandwiches and bar food now!. Id expect people to start coming back here because I know they lost a lot of customers before when it was not so great. People should give this place another try.

• Pros: Food quality way up, great bar
• Cons: No wheelchair access,

What happened??

by FrankCF

Used to go here as much as twice a week when I lived in Philly.....Went on this Saturday night and there were ten............ten people in the place at 830. Somebody scredwed up the decor, over painitng the walls and ceilings in vanilla colors, and hanging metal frames with mirrors on the walls, nevermind that the elaborate banquettes already have mirrors in them. The food was blah, the energy gone. Amazing what a new owner can do for a restaurant. Id like to tell him my opinion, the website for the restaurant says "please email us with comments" but allows no link to email to. Depressing.

• Pros: staff
• Cons: every thing else

The renovation stanitized the place; the new menu is LIMITED

by Gerald333

Where are all the people? We went there on a Friday

night at & PM when the place used to be packed to

the gills. Not any more! Where are all the people?

The menu is very limited--not enough chicken

dishes, no diversity, no sandwiches. The new

menus is MINIMALIST to the extreme. What a

shame. Food is still good but there are NOT

enough menu CHOICES.

This is a nice place to go for a filling meal and a few drinks. It's continuous with the bar but who cares - you can get drinks!

• Pros: friendly atmosphere, in the heart of , the gayborhood
• Cons: smokey, dark

Best Deal in Town

by kevin2004

Venture Inn - a great place to eat at the right price. Sleek, romantic atmosphere, although the bar area can become noisy at times. Friendly, fun service - the waiters are a riot!

• Pros: great value, good food, friendly service
• Cons: noisy at times
