Hungry Pigeon - Philadelphia

Vibes: popping bakery with cozy, wooden seating with lots of natural light shining in (during brunch time) Tasting notes: -Seasonal fruit galette: crisp,

Maybe it was because I went there for dinner and not breakfast or brunch Thought food was mediocre at best (did 4 course tasting menu) and the paired

For dinner this place lived up to all the hype on our summer visit. The space is quaint and cozy, yet plenty of seats so you are not on top of each other.

The food was great. We had the prawns and the chicken parm.

I had been turned off by a few people because I LOVE prime rib. I had just heard great things about the restaurant. Unfortunately the whole experience was disappointing for us. We had reserved at the open table and requested a stand. When we got there, the hostess didn't confirm our reservation when we told her we booked them online and still got us to a table. She was our waitress and was pretty good. The drinks were well made but small for the price. We ordered the prime rib. I got the girls cut and my husband got the kings cut which is about a $ 20 difference in price. When they came out, they were exactly the smaller portion I ordered in length and thickness. We ordered medium rarity (which it came off like), but it had no flavor and was extremely tough. If there's one thing I love almost as much as prime rib, it's ranch dressing. It was chunky and tasted terrible. (and no, it wasn't blue cheese) To get our USD 100 bill at the end of our meal, we were both utterly disappointed with the entire meal. The quality did not reflect the cost.
