this is an upscale restaurant, but...the seafood menu seemed a bit limited to me, altho I enjoyed the ahi tuna, cooked as ordered. an overwhelming and expensive wine list seems to be the focus. We were seated in a room off the main dining room, which made for a quiet dinner (until the table of five or six folks next to us started chatting and laughing, but no matter...) for the most part. I'm not sure I would return. Service was attentive. But I felt like I was part of an assembly line process and not a customer in an upscale restaurant focused on serving exceptional seafood dishes.

Having heard raves reviews from friends regarding this restaurant, we took our chances on a late Sunday afternoon. We had a problem finding the actual site but after finally finding our way through the winding lanes, we were quite pleasedâright on the scenic Delaware across from the Philadelphia Airport. The elegantly decorated restaurant was fullâindoors and outdoors. The indoor dining room noise level was almost deafening so we opted for the outside veranda on this beautiful, but very warm evening. While waiting for our dinner, we were entertained by a soloist with accompaniment and the arriving planes--within minutes of each other, that strangely enough were barely heard. For dinner, we shared a rather large tomato caprese as a starter. My crab cake was full of lump crab meat. My companionâs crabby delight was a mélange of seafood. We enjoyed both. The upcharge on the wine was steep but our Sauvignon blanc was worth it. All topped off by sharing a slice of key lime pie for dessert. The restaurant had adequate parking despite the crowd that evening. Try it--youâll like it.

I was staying at the Doubletree across Broad Street and looking for a place to have dinner, saw this on Google Maps and went in without a reservation. They found me a table off in a corner--it must have been around 6 PM. Operating on the theory that nobody does lamb better than the Greeks, I ordered the Arni Paidakia. Blew me away.It's ridiculous to rate a restaurant on one visit, but I have no idea when I'll be in Philly again, and these lamb chops have to be given proper tribute. The young fellow who took and brought my order was also above reproach.Even at this hour it was pretty full and rather loud, but I don't think it would have interfered with conversation, had I not been alone.I don't know when, but I'll be back.

It was an OMG experience. Both nights we ordered Dogfish Head IPA, oyster shooters, ginger beer, fried calamari, salad (1st night), fried shishito peppers (2nd night), and the piece de resistance, grilled whole Branzino fish which was accompanied with risotto and a green curry sauce. On the second evening, we asked if the chef could make the green curry sauce spicier and he did! This was one of the most incredible, memorable meals we've had. Both nights, the bill totaled slightly less than $100.. terrific value. We liked this restaurant much more than the nearby seafood restaurant. Highly recommended.

I like the food, but I cant get my wife to go back. The 1950's atmoshere is not what we want to endure. Some people like this knottypine 50's bar look. But while the food is great and I can over look the surroundings, my wife can not.. Part of the experience is the atmosphere. I can understand her position.. The food is still good . and at reasonable prices.

Fusion style menu. Mid-range food at 'fine dining' prices.Based upon its reputation and reviews, our granddaughter reserved for four to help her celebrate hir university graduation. It is beautiful, and the dishes that were not sushi were rather good. The sashimi was worse than disappointing. The serving of 2 pieces of hirame was about the size of a quarter coin, but a bit thicker; price $6. In comparison, the macadamia chicken was a large serving and very good; price $20.In reviewing our total order, we'd consider POD to have quality appropriate for a mid-range restaurant. Except for the sashimi, the quantity of each dish was satisfactory. We did get a couple of unusual desserts that were okay: tasted above average with rather high prices (appropriate for a 'fine dining' establishment.The music is loud; therefore, to be heard across the table you have to be loud. This was not what any of us expected. In fact, it was so loud that it took awhile after we left for our hearing normal conversation to return.

Arden was our server and she was very sweet and very attentive. Four of us dined. We started with raw clams and stuffed clams which were very good. Entrees were stuffed surf and turf and baked stuffed shrimp. All was great. Will be back on my next trip back home to Philly.

We think that before long, Philadelphians will be putting down their cheesesteaks and picking up lobster rolls. Located post security, our restaurant is the perfect place to dine or take off with take-out.
