★★★★★ 5.0 Bohemian Waxwing · Feb 2026

Have been here for fabulous dinners before and tried them for brunch for my daughter’s birthday— did not disappoint! Appetizers were incredibly warm scones and fondue with flash fried Brussels and apples— recommend both! Fig gimlet cocktail was fab. Our entrees all came out great— mushroom ravioli possibly the standout but lots of competition from butternut squash risotto and burrata toast. Service was very good and they attempted to be relaxed even though they were quite busy— only felt rushed at the very end.

Fantastic flavors and top-tier service! We had a wonderful dinner experience here. The NA drink selection was impressive, and the mocktail I chose was refreshing and well-balanced. We started with several appetizers for the table; the charcuterie board and beet salad were both hits. As a beet-salad novice, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it—even if I’m not quite ready to order a whole plate for myself yet! ​The highlight, however, was the pork chop. It was incredibly juicy, perfectly seasoned, and paired beautifully with the whipped sweet potatoes. I also have to mention the side of Brussels sprouts with bacon and apples—a delicious and unexpected standout. We finished with a round of desserts, and the banana cheesecake was the absolute star. I could have eaten a whole on

This was a great experience. The space is quaint with a small bar area. Went on a Thursday evening and it was crowded and nosy but still a great vibe. Food was delicious from the cocktails to the entrees! I had the fried chicken and grits with kale. Fantastic although the sauce was a little off putting, still compliments to the chef. My date was visiting from out of town and for dessert they prepared a special 'Welcome To Philly's plate. Super cute.

★★★★★ 5.0 Zsavon Monique · Jan 2026

A lovely night out celebrating life. The atmosphere was great, the vibes were on point, and the service was excellent. I don’t judge food too harshly since everyone’s palate is different, but I gave the food four stars only because the couscous medley wasn’t quite a hit for me. It came with the branzino, which is my favorite fish. The cheese board, greens, and sweet potatoes were all standouts, and dessert was a hit as well. Overall, I really enjoyed dining at The Love. and would definitely return.

Treated myself to a birthday brunch here. I made a reservation for right when they opened (11:30) and the place was pretty busy by noon for the lunch rush. I ordered a mimosa, fried green tomatoes, the caesar salad, and the pumpkin bread pudding. Was it a bit pricey? Yes - $75 when it was all said and done. However, I did enjoy the food, the staff were very attentive.
