Phenomenal dining experience from start to finish. I love how everyone works as a team here to provide top notch service. You can definitely tell they brought in an interior designer to help create a European experience. Food & Cocktails were all great, especially the 40oz Bone in Ribeye.

Excellent food, perfectly cooked, with rich flavors. My beef cheek was melting and the scallops were seared very well, they were huge, very fresh and very tasty. I visited for restaurant week and I would probably visit again.
The 4 stars are for the service. Not extremely welcoming, not extremely friendly. Train your servers better if you want to be considered a proper fine dining establishment. Just take them to Vetri's Cucina. They will experience what excellent service is.

We loved it - party of 12 with kids.
Dinner in phili was amazing!! Loved the decor/ absolutely delicious drinks. Had the cod and it was soft and melted in the mouth. Do not miss the desert… banana pudding with cardamom.
Read some other reviews and had to put feedback :) had great experience! Romantic and family style.

Relaxing place with attentive service and excellent food. Finely prepared dishes with simple flavors. The sirloin with maitaka mushrooms was outstanding. The corn beignets were served warm with lemon butter and melted in your mouth. The chocolate au ruhm was a delight. For a quiet, special evening, this is a wonderful place.

Amazing, amazing…AH-mazing.
In quaint Old City, this modern European/French restaurant gave us the experience of a lifetime. We recently got engaged and as a part of their “proposal package”, we had the opportunity to rent out the restaurant (on an off day) and have a fully customized, personal dinner just us two. Chef Chris is not just a culinary genius but a truly kind man that made this special evening one we’ll never forget. From picking the music, the menu, photos, we felt like royalty and family simultaneously.
Thank you Chef Chris (and Lauren!) for the most unforgettable evening. We cannot wait to come back.

My son took me to Forsythia for Mother’s Day. The food was absolutely delicious. Every course on the Brunch menu was amazing. The staff was courteous, knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. The music was great. The cocktails delicious. Our table 41 was perfect. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars because it definitely deserves it. I absolutely had a wonderful time and highly recommend this restaurant.

Delicious dinner at Forsythia for my bf and I’s anniversary. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend. We started with the Wagyu Beef Tartare Tartine which definitely set everything off to a wonderful start and got us super excited for the rest of the dishes. We followed up with the Blanquette De Lapin for Two which did not disappoint. For dessert we went for the Baba au Rhum which of course was delicious. Will definitely have to go back and try out other dishes for sure. Shoutout to our amazing waiter Seth and compliments to the chef and team :)

Great place for fine dining. I found the menu a little limited and so the wine list. The food was good with great ingredients but not amazing, I was expecting more from a French Cuisine.

We heard good things about this place but it was so much better than expected. The lobster pasta special was great. The drinks were creative. And the “fries” were so creative and fun. The mahi mahi main dish was the only thing that was a little off from what we wanted but overall this was a great dining experience.

We started out with Corn & Truffle Beignets. This was excellent and my favorite course. We than had the Miso roasted eggplant, good not memorable. I had Scallops, small plate. Would not have been enough to eat alone.My friend had duck. Dessert cheesecake. All good. All above average not spectacular except for the beignets and bread.
