Reviews for Lacroix Restaurant at The Rittenhouse in Philadelphia, PA
2nd time. 1st time was about 4yrs ago. At that time my then 13 year old son said, "There are two restaurants that have made me... smile, Per Se and LaCroix." So post-covid, with an older but wiser son in tow, we checked LaCroix out. Were they all that,post-covid with 4 years of maturation under the belt? I must say yes even with a new chef, LaCroix delivered. Culinarytechnique? Check. Creativity? Check. Bang for the buck? CHECK! We had dined at Gabriel Kreuther's in NYC a few days before.While GK's best surpassed Lacroix (smoked sauerkraut with sturgeon and aged duck breast. Best duck breast ever!), I must sayLaCroix just slays it in terms of area under the curve. Every dish was very good to awesome. At $155 per 6 courses compared to$255 at GK, LaCroix wins. Mind you, GK is no slouch. With Manhattan pricing in mind, it was worthwhile. However. I must give theoverall value to LaCroix. Mind you, I have not been to Parc. Vernick, etc. in Philly. However, I would be perfectly happy to goto LaCroix again and again. Read more
We had an absolutely delicious dining experience at Lacroix! All of the servers and staff were very attentive, friendly and went... above and beyond to make this birthday dinner incredibly happy and memorable. Every dish was delicious and unique, and at theend of the meal we were given yummy boxes of sweets as well as a champagne cotton candy. They all went out of their way to makethe dinner an amazing experience for us all. Two of our party said it was the best dinner they had ever had. Thank you to theterrific staff and chef for such a perfect dining celebration!! Read more
We had such a great experience. The staff is incredible. We felt at ease and we were treated like kings not to mention how... delicious every single meal was. We are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you for the treats :) Read more
Amazing food! Each dish was delicious. Starting with creamy perfectly salted butter. The watercress strawberry salad was... perfectly complemented by a creamy dressing. The soup was creamy and a bit heavy. However, the basted egg was a fabulousaddition and the baguette was perfectly toasted to be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! The salmon and sorrel wasamazing. The salmon was moist and succulent with a perfectly crisp! The beetroot sandwiches was the most original flavor. Thetextures and smokiness was unforgettable. Overall one of the best meals of my travels and we will be returning for dinnerduring our short trip. Reservations made! Read more
On May 1 I had the one of my best overall dining experiences at Lacroix. I was celebrating my anniversary so I was hoping that... I would not be disappointed. The ambiance was fantastic, from early evening to sunset what a nice view to be overlookingRittenhouse Square. Every course of my 6 course meal left one wanting for more. The service was impeccable, complimenting verywell the ambiance and food. A small adjustment in the menu was made to recognize my anniversary which left me totallyimpressed. Finally, I would like to recognize Jamie, Joshua, Tim, and Max. They were the team that made my meal memorable andensured that I will dine here again. Read more
I was looking forward to Anniversary brunch here BUT very disappointed in food quality ! Eggs Benedict was nice but Petit... Dejeuner was not to 5 stars quality (croissant was dry not buttery at all, shaved ham was dry, one boiled egg was cold - theonly fresh item on my plate was half avocado). Place was clean and well sanitized. Overall OVER PRICE !! Plus having to pay $32for a valet parking where I could just park my car myself. One great thing from my experience to this place was SERVICE. Everyone there was very friendly. Read more
Brunch Extraordinaire! I came with my wife for an anniversary brunch. They were very accommodating. The staff is extremely well... trained that certainly elevated our experience. They paid very close attention to finest details, such as I saw a staff membermaking neighboring table while placing glass not only he perfected placement of the silverware, he went through fine detail tocheck glass for any fingerprints as well. Apart from the service, food itself also deserves raging reviews of 5 stars. The chefaccommodated my vegetarian request, and prepared dishes that were finger liking delicious. It was very peaceful fine diningexperience in middle of the city. #VeggieAbroad Read more
One of the best places for breakfast. I highly recommend the eggs Benedict with the house special potatoes and sourdough toast.... The omelette is great as well. Read more
