Steakhouse
Gargantuan cuts of prime beef, extra thick chops, and simply prepared fresh seafood are the straightforward offerings of this steakhouse that evokes the supper clubs of Manhattan in the 1940's. Leopard print carpeting, black lacquered walls trimmed in brass and tuxedoed waiters complete the elegant atmosphere, featuring live piano and bass nightly. Dress code is business casual.

    It is essentially the same wonderful ambiance and high quality of the predecessor entity in this same space. Service is formal, but accessible and unobtrusive. Food was not creative nor "new", but we wanted and got classic high-quality steaks. Like its predecessor in this space, it is an excellent throw-back steakhouse, complete with a piano player.

    We love this place. We used to come here very often at least once a week, when we live in Philadelphia. Although we mo longer live in Philadelphia, we still come to this restaurant when we visit. The owner Garth is very hospitable and welcoming. We will always make a point to eat at Rittenhouse Grill whenever we can!

    Great prime rib, full of wet aged flavour which means the flavour is intense around the spinalis and gentler around the eye which is always excellent. Ambience is lovely. A little too clubby but you sometimes want that.

    Rittenhouse Grill features superb service and food in an atmosphere reminiscent of a New York City supper club from the 40s. Seating is at the bar or in spacious banquettes in a warm, inviting space. It's cozy, with live piano music playing, many tables filled (on a Wednesday), and people at the bar. Definitely an upscale steak and seafood house, with prime meats and fresh seafood. I recommend it highly.

    I ate at the restaurant on Saturday April 8th with my parents and my Aunt. It was my Dad’s birthday. Our waiter cleared plates too quickly. My Aunt wasn’t finished with her salad when he took her plate. When dinner was served nothing was hot. I immediately noticed the French Fries were only warm. The other sides were also not hot - especially the baked potato and the Brussel Sprouts. Our steaks were cooked well and the waiter did give my Dad a complimentary dessert. Overall I was disappointed. This was my second time at the restaurant. On my first visit for my Aunt’s birthday we had a great waiter and a wonderful meal. I expected the same this time. Still I know my Dad enjoyed his dinner and didn’t complain but afterwards he did say he had better meals elsewhere. Humph!
