1. Barclay Prime in Rittenhouse Square
Located in a historic building, offers a luxurious dining experience, known for its celebration dinners

My husband and I recently dined at a restaurant where he ordered the lamb loin. We were impressed with the preparation of the dish, as it was cooked to perfection. However, we did find that the coating on the lamb was too salty for our tastes.
As for myself, I ordered a filet along with the lamb. Both dishes were quite delicious, but they didn't come with any accompanying sides or accompaniments. This left the meat dishes looking a bit lonely on the plate, which was a missed opportunity for the restaurant to showcase their culinary skills.

4. Vernick Food & Drink in Rittenhouse Square
Creative dishes, elegant presentation, knowledgeable staff

The lamb dish at the restaurant was a visual and olfactory delight. Although we didn't get to taste it, we were able to see it being plated and could smell its delicious aroma. The dish looked outrageously good, and we have made a mental note to order it the next time we visit the restaurant.
However, there was one aspect of the dish that we thought could be improved. The green tomato sauce verge that accompanied the lamb was somewhat of a distraction. It didn't seem to add much to the dish and took away from the lamb's flavor profile. It would have been better if the sauce was either more subtle or if it complemented the lamb in a more harmonious way.

5. Almyra Restaurant
Seasonal ingredients and modern cooking techniques

We had a positive experience with the variety of dips and spreads, which were delightful to taste. The lavrqki was a standout dish, delicious and enjoyable. The Chilean sea bass was cooked to perfection and the beef dumpling was another hit. Both of these dishes impressed us with their flavors and textures.
The lamb chop was well-cooked and a savory option, although there were instances where it was slightly over-seasoned. Despite this minor issue, it was still a tasty and satisfying choice. Overall, we were pleased with the quality and selection of dishes at the establishment.
