Their hours might not be for everyone, but what they lack in the amount of time they're open they make up everywhere else.
The food is amazing, and the concept of having new residency chefs every month keeps the menu fresh and exciting. I don't think we've ever had something we didn't like.
It's small so it's intimate, and every server we've had has been great.
The better half and I have been here twice this year and always check out the new menu every month.
(Iron) Chef Jose Garces never ceases to amaze.
Plus, it's easy to get to and there's several lower price garages nearby as well.
I'm already ready to go back.
Volver was an amazing experience, from chef Toni, to our waiter Hector, the bartender, i was blown away. We took our daughter for her 14th Birthday and she loved it, plus chef Toni was amazing, the food delicious, the drinks amazing and the service was 2nd to non. If you are going to philly Volver is a must for a great time and food.
The appetizers were really good! Our dinner left much to be desired. My husband got the crispy chicken with mash potatoes and it was drowned in gravy. The bowl it was served in was also not ideal for eating. I got the trout dish and it left a lot to be desired. The atmosphere is intimate and very nicely decorated. I would probably come back but only for appetizers and drinks.
Happen to come during restaurant week. Didn’t get to eat other delicious stuff on the regular menu. Must come back another time to try them.
Lounge is cozy, ambiance is nice and cool. Staffs are nice and patient. Foods are delicious.
This is a place that keeps it fresh, fun, and flavorful everytime I visit! There's an incredible chef's residency program that has remarkable diversity that's truly elevated their already-impressive menu!
Chef is building a fall menu so there were like 10 items available on the menu. They should keep a small excellent menu. Everything was exceptional.
Dinner at Volver was delicious! I took my boyfriend here for his birthday. The ambiance is very romantic and chill. They have a new manager who was great and attentive. He presented our food and gave us the background and inspiration of the dishes. Everything was delicious. When I didn’t like my cocktail they immediately replaced it with one that for my palate.
My only complaint would be they were out of the lobster appetizer. I had the hamachi instead and it was delicious.
Picture below is the milk and cream, hamachi, crispy lamb chops, roasted duck breast, coco choux, and s’mores.
Worthy of their Forbes 5 star rating. One of the best restaurants in Pennsylvania. Most fine dining tasting menus in Philly cannot come close to the high level that Volver executes.
Best culinary experience I've had so far. Very complex flavors. It was my first time trying some ingredients like duck liver, Hamachi and trout and I can say that I enjoyed them very much. One of my favorite dishes was the Hamachi tartar which is weird cause I don't eat much fish in general. Another must try is the Milk and cereal, at first it's a little confusing because of the presentation, but when you taste it...OMG it was amazing. Thought I would have given a 4.5 because one dessert was supposed to have coconut sorbet but they used banana instead. And didn't care much for the king crab risotto. Besides that overall a great experience filled with new flavors.
This place was great! The food was great and the staff was even better! The milk and cereal was one of my favorite dishes; it sounds like it might be sweet but I found it to be a very enjoyable savory dish. We traveled to philidelphia and we were looking forward to going here, a jose garces restaurant, and doing the chef's tasting menu, but by the time we got to philidelphia it was summer time when they weren't doing that. We let the waiter know and they luckily were able to put one together really quick out of what was available, and I'm so glad that they did because it was all amazing and we got to try a little bit of a lot of things. Also the manager Day was great, very friendly and was very attentive to us!
