Review for Brunch only.
The selection of food, quality of each dish, service and friendliness of the chef were impeccable. Nothing bad here at all. The meal felt exceptionally relaxed. The servers were attentive without being overbearing (a hard balance which was perfectly executed). The sizes of each dish were perfect for allowing a taste of everything. The staff were proactive in making sure every option was always available. The chef in the kitchen was great explaining it each of the roast dishes available and was very friendly. The quality of the coffee is a good way to judge a brunch, and the coffee was great. An exceptional experience.
Note: Review does not apply to afternoon tea (my experience of afternoon tea here over a decade ago was poor, I still have yet to find a place outside of the UK that can provide even an average afternoon tea).
We visited Lacroix for our 2023 Thanksgiving dinner and had a fantastic time. It was a buffet format and while the price tag was high, the experience was definitely worth it. The tons of food options were all tasty, including turkey, shrimp, oysters, and more. Also the pork ribs were outstanding. Drinks were not included but the wine we ordered was exceptional. Overall we had a great Thanksgiving meal and would do it again for sure.
What a special meal! We ordered the chef’s tasting menu and it was exquisite. Every dish was artfully presented and tasty. The portions are small but by the end of the night we were full. The best part about the meal was the service. The staff was so polite and attentive, and made you feel special. The sommelier was clearly invested in his craft and it was a pleasure to hear him describe the wine pairings. I got a cocktail and it was also delicious. I think our favorite dish was the dessert, which was a chocolate sphere with a delicious custard and pistachio filling. The restaurant was quiet which was surprising for how good the food and service was. Worth the price!

I had such a fantastic experience with my husband at La croix. From check in to seating until we get our coats back, the experience was phenomenal. We enjoyed their Sunday brunch. If you’re doing their Sunday brunch, you have to make an online reservation ahead of time. When you make the reservation, they will actually ask you to pay for the full amount of the buffet, plus an automatic 20% gratuity plus service fee and taxes. Cancellation should be made 72 hours prior to your reservation or there would be no refund.
The buffet costs $95 per person. So far, of all the breakfast buffet that I’ve been to in the city, this is the only one that lets you order one entrée off the menu with no extra cost. While you wait for your entrée, you can go ahead and help yourself at their buffet. Do you have normal staples for breakfast like sausages, potatoes, mashed potatoes, bacon. But what I like the most is that they have a good variety of desserts and offers tons of different types of seafood. Everything taste divine. The service was fantastic. Our water glass never becomes empty because they always refill it. They’re very prompt in picking up dirty plates and replacing your used utensils. The coffee was so good. Try some raw oysters and try their crab salad too while you’re at it.
I think the price of the buffet is great compared to the quality of food that they serve.
I bought my wife the chef's table experience. Hands down, this is probably one of the best culinary experiences I've ever had in my life, the food is amazing, Chef Eric and his crew are so talented and welcoming, the service is top notch, we left in food comma but content and excited beyond explaining... Wow!
Thank you Chef Eric and Team 🙏🏻
This top notch restaurant inside a 5-star Rittenhouse Hotel is full of amazing experience. The servers are super attentive, very caring, and overall food taste matches the expectation - I especially LOVED the A5 Wagyu entree with sliced fresh black truffle along with fresh wasabi. It was cooked to a perfection and had a nice balance with wasabi, truffle slices and the sauce. One of the best wagyu I have had so far. Desserts were all wonderful too. I loved how each tasted and enjoyed every bite of them! 🥰
I also loved how private I felt throughout my dining experience.
I had chef's selection with 6 courses including the dessert priced at $145/pp.
The restaurant and hotel interiors are elegant and pleasing to look at.
The hotel offers a valet parking for $32 (overnight at $60), but if you get your ticket validated you get $12 discount, FYI.
I would certainly come back to this place again.
Sat at the bar for brunch the staff was great the bartender Jacob was beyond great, had one of the best old fashions I’ve ever been served. Definitely recommend and will going back.
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 fabulous addition and the baguette was perfectly toasted to be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside!
The salmon and sorrel was amazing. The salmon was moist and succulent with a perfectly crisp! The beetroot sandwiches was the most original flavor. The textures and smokiness was unforgettable.
Overall one of the best meals of my travels and we will be returning for dinner during our short trip. Reservations made!
The food, service, and atmosphere was absolutely great! My wife and I had the seven course chef’s table and every meal was a show runner for the next. Jamie was a excellent server and host. The drink (blackberry and lavender) along with the wine pairing was the highlight of the evening. The ambiance is both entertaining and welcoming. We will be back! Thank you for such a great night!
