Dining at Saloon Restaurant is always a special experience—but when you’re fortunate enough to be seated with Sam, it becomes something truly unforgettable.

Sam brings a level of elegance to service that perfectly mirrors the sophistication of the restaurant itself. From the moment we sat down, her presence elevated the evening—graceful without ever being intrusive, attentive without feeling overbearing. She has a remarkable ability to read the table, anticipating needs before they’re spoken and guiding the experience with effortless confidence.

Under her care, the meal itself became extraordinary. The seafood dishes were nothing short of spectacular—fresh, delicate, and perfectly prepared, with each bite highlighting the quality and precision that defines Saloon’s kitchen. From the richness of the sauces to the flawless execution, every seafood course felt luxurious and thoughtfully composed.

The steak was equally outstanding—cooked to perfection with a beautiful sear and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness that made it a true centerpiece of the evening. It was bold, flavorful, and deeply satisfying, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the best in the city.

What truly set the night apart was how Sam magnified every moment. Her thoughtful recommendations, seamless pacing, and polished demeanor transformed an already exceptional dinner into a refined, memorable experience. She doesn’t just serve food—she elevates the entire evening.

In a city known for great dining, Sam represents hospitality at its highest level. Her unparalleled service is not just impressive—it’s the kind that keeps you coming back.

We were so excited to finally try The Saloon after hearing so much about it. Everyone seems to rave about it so our expectations were high.

Unfortunately, we left feeling disappointed. The standout dish of the night were the diver scallops, which were excellent……. but at $85??? The Clams Pavarotti were also very good and one of the better items we tried.

For our entrées, we all ordered the lobster franchise. While the flavor was good, the portion was underwhelming…..just a small piece of lobster with no sides……For that price point we expected at least a side of pasta, potatoes, or vegetables. The lack of anything on the plate made it feel incomplete and not reflective of the premium pricing.

The service was mediocre at best. For a restaurant charging these kinds of prices, exceptional service and attention to detail should be. We repeatedly had to look for our waitress to ask for more water or bread. Also, our coffee came out 15 minutes after our dessert. We would not consider this the best Italian food in Philadelphia, and it did not live up to the hype. Sorry not sorry.

Saloon is a Philly institution that I just got around to trying!

My friends and I booked a reservation out a month in advance. We absolutely loved the ambiance – upscale, vintage, cozy yet chic… definitely feel like you’re in South Philly.

We started with an appetizer sampler of grilled prawns, clams and poblano peppers. The clams stood out to us, they were delicious and flavorful. The prawns did not have a lot of meat on them and the poblano peppers weren’t hot enough (temperature wise). For $30 per person, we did not think it was worth it and would just order the clams by themselves in the future.

I got the linguine with blush sauce for my main, which was simple yet great. My friends got the angel hair with lump crab meat and lobster fettucine. The angel hair was a nice summer time pasta – light and refreshing. The lobster fettucine was good but not great, and at the high price tag of $44, my friend said he would not reorder it again.

None of the desserts interested us unfortunately. We found some of the options on the menu to be lackluster and wish there was more variety. We did enjoy what we had but weren’t blown away by anything.

I would like to come back in the future and order a cocktail at the bar, as I do love the ambiance.

Perfect every time! We dine out very often and always plan a trip from K of P to S Philly. The Branzino is phenomenal and the Veal chops are legendary. The best octopus salad you’re ever gonna have and definitely try the Braciole once in awhile. My granny Morello would definitely approve big time and she made the best. Excellent bar scene and a nice classy place without being too pretentious. This is our very favorite place! Excellent service, staff, and the very best food anyone could ever ask for. This spot is an institution and in my opinion the finest in Philly.

Had a lovely birthday dinner at Saloon. Nicky made parking super easy and was a great face to welcome us into the Saloon experience. Our waitress Kittee knew what we wanted before we did and food was incredible. Happy to end the night chatting with Nicky again. HIGHLY recommend

The aesthetics of the restaurant are beautiful. We went based on ratings- the food was average. The filet mignon was tender but had no seasoning or flavor, mashed potatoes very bland. Husband had chicken parm, it was good but bang for buck I’ll keep Scannichios for best chicken parm ever. The peach salad was good, but expected cooked just a little more. Carrot cake likely not made inhouse. Icing fell off like old cake, no flavor. The ambiance is awesome, the service was good, food average. Best part was Dom the valet- he’s a keeper for this place. For me, this was a one and done. I can find many places less expensive and better food/ food choices in my opinion.

The short review: this is my favorite Philly restaurant. I always neglect to get actual pictures in Saloon because the food hits the table and everyone is on it. The vibe is unmatched – authentic, unique, South Philly energy. Perfect cocktails, plus I’ve yet to be let down by any dish, whether it’s salad, seafood, filet, chicken, THE PESTO with the bread. And of course, the every time, must order, Veal Parm. I’ve brought many different friends and family to Saloon and it’s always a winning night. Never change Saloon.

I honestly like this place. I got the bolognese with pappadelle pasta. The only tiny downfall about this dish was since the pasta is thin, its very easy to over cook. But I ate every ounce of it to say the least. Perfect portion sizes. The creme brulee was perfect! Our server was on point with everything as well. Told us about everything on the menu we had questions about and explained in fine detail about the specials that wasnt on the menu. Little pricey but you get what you pay for. Fresh and delicious and the atmosphere given when you walk in is all worth it. Good job!
