Helm - Philadelphia

I dined at Helm in March, 2020 and enjoyed the experience. The food was good, service was fantastic, and the restaurant lovely. There was a fairly noisy group of businessmen seated next to us, but both they and staff were kind apologetic for the noise. I would mostly recommend to those interested in local farm-to-table fare skewing to the root vegetable side of things.

Certain menu items were delicious and executed very well others not so much. Lamb too tough to eat. When server asked at the end of the meal we nicely mentioned that the lamb was very tough, it had to be obvious as we didn’t eat even a 1/4 of the dish. She just said “oh really, it’s normally very tender”. That was it, no offer to recook or anything...just oh, not normally like that. So many choices in Philly. We still had a nice time but skipped dessert and went to another place for dessert and coffee.

Helm's pasta is delicious, and their gateau basque is one of my favorite Philly desserts if not my favorite.

Helm is an awesome restaurant! Their super knowledgeable about their ingredients and their food taste amazing!

It was for my boyfriends birthday and we had an amazing time! The waitress was so personable.
