Stayed on Market St...so many choices to dine!
The Love was the best choice during our 5 day stay.
Atmosphere and server were so personal.
We started out with the cheese platter and wine. Delicious!
Our selection meal was new to the menu, we ordered ribs, corn bread with Tabasco butter and a side of sweet pea pods in carrot sauce topped with fine bread crumbs!
Unbelievably amazing! Kudos to the chef!
The Love is a must dine while in Philly!

Nothing short of Superlative!
I was in town for a conference and I decided to celebrate afterwards, just casually—and we decided on The Love.
This place is amazing, cozy atmosphere, great lighting, and just pleasant views. The staff was very friendly and generous. But let’s get to the food!
I had the buttermilk chicken, such a large portion, and tastes like MONEY! It fried to perfection, it juicy, and Fresh. The greens were so good—subtly sweet and a hint of vinegar. The grits were a great addition with the jalapeño slices.
My mom had the Short Rib pasta and it blew my mind when I tasted it. It was spectacular, every bite was perfection.
The Cornbread with whipped butter—needs no description, just order it and enjoy!
The Dessert…OMG (Don’t skip dessert) I had the Tiramisu in a cup and she had the Rhubarb pie with buttermilk ice cream. Your going to want that ice cream to come in a 12oz. So rich and creamy, it paired so well the pie. The tiramisu was the best I ever had!!! Order coffee with it, and thank me later.
The cocktails are ok, the Frozen Margarita was better than my Aperol Sprits like drink.
The bottom line is this place knocked my socks off!
Located close to Rittenhouse Square, The Love is pumping out works of food art. Blending complementary flavors with stunning visual plating, every dish is delicious and almost too pretty to eat. The stars of the show were the Take Me Away - Nashville fried chicken, the hush puppies, green salad and the burrata. You can see why this is a popular place. The service was good and waiter kind and prompt. A must try! We will be back!
We had a reservation for 8:45 but it was so crowded that we had to wait an extra 20 minutes. The hostest was very good at keeping us abreast of our wait time. There was nowhere to sit and wait, so we had to stand by an active elevator where this rude person in a white skirt kept acting like we were in the way when we had no choice. However, after we were seated, we enjoyed the food, and the service was excellent. The shrimp and scallops seared were perfect with the spaghetti. The garlic rub cornbread is great also. Try the fried green tomatoes. Hmm.
Our first experience at this wonderful little restaurant...we made a reservation on line and we were pleasantly surprised that we were seated exactly at the time we reserved for lunch on Saturday...we were hoping to sit outside but we loved the table we were seated at inside on the first floor...the service was incredible...the restaurant was very clean...and the food was memorably delicious...we started out with the Southern Hush Puppies and we ordered the Sausage and Biscuits, Rodeo Burger and Chicken Caesar Salad...all dishes were beautifully plated and were amazingly delicious. It was a lovely adventure in Philadelphia and Rittenhouse Square...Thank You to The Love. and Staff! We'll be back and we will be sending all our friends and family your way!
My first experience here was incredible. I used to work for the head chef and I was so excited to check out this spot. All of the food was absolutely delicious. Reminiscent of Talula's Garden, but not as complex. We were treated like family and the serving staff and kitchen staff went above and beyond to make sure I was happy for my birthday celebration. I would definitely go back here and would recommend this spot to everyone!
Excellent food. Great service. Can feel slightly cramped in the small space but it's almost a NYC like cozy feel.
Everything tasted great. The burrata was excellent, along with the fried cauliflower.
My "love bird" entree was a near perfect fried chicken. The beef Rigatoni was also really good. We barely had space for dessert but were glad we got the C for cookie.
Overall, great.
We loved, The Love. We ordered two delicious drinks from their lunch menu, the real peach - fresh, a splash of ginger, just right. The broken arrow has an awesome slight kick with the chili powdered rim that completes it, great combo. We had the burrata and the cast iron baked rolls, both truly delicious. For dishes we had the shrimp and grits, it's pretty amazing with the charred shishito peppers, yum. I also ordered the healthy salmon bowl, which seems to be a favorite as I noticed many ordered the same; it didn't disappoint. The portions were decent. Our waiter was pleasant and attentive, would definitely recommend!
I absolutely loved the shrimp and scallops 'Cacio e Pepe'! The combination of flavors and textures was a delightful surprise. And the crispy branzino was the perfect balance of crispy goodness on the outside and tender, flavorful fish on the inside. Gonna go back to try different kind of food
Awesome atmosphere, great service, staff was super pleasant. The chicken was fried perfectly, and let me not talk about the sauce that is paired with the chicken, simply tasty😋. My sides were collard greens, and grits, and let jets say, they were different from what I'm used to in the south, so I'll reserve my comment on them because it'll be biased. Overall, it was worth the experience.
Also, let me not forget. The drinks were really good.
Joined some family for a celebration today in Philadelphia.And my wife has been wanting to try this upscale eclectic restaurant as she heard it was great. She is always right!
Our server Lianna was amazing! She knew the menue well and made some great apps and meals suggestions. We started with Chesse board, Risotto, and truffle oil, followed by the Tuna crudo. each was excellent. I prefer larger portions but the food was so good!. Some of the table went with some of the specialty drinks they looked good.
For dinner, I and three others went with the highly suggested pork chop, wife and daughter went with the salmon, and one rigatoni and short ribs. all was so delicious.
Wife made a great choice for dinner tonight!
And the desserts were simply amazing!
