We live in Philly and enjoy the wonderful dining scene here. We decided to try Le Bec Fin for our 22nd wedding anniversary with mixed results. We made reservations on open table and we had what my husband called the "internet tables" in the anteroom of the restaurant, since other diners around us had also reserved on open table. These... more

Le Bec Fin is a landmark in Philadelphia. It is one of those unique dining experiences and certainly not your average dinner out (Dinner for two can easily run over $450). While I cannot fault service or the quality of food, it is a bit overpriced when compared to similar places in other cities. Typically, with restaurants of this caliber,... more

We just returned from a dinner here and I wanted to write a full review so that people looking for a great meal can make an informed decision.

I was brought here for dinner by physicians trying to hire me. The food was very good and the ambiance was very nice. They kept saying since I was from NYC, "this is the best we got". I must say it is on par with some of the better places in NYC. more

Attended a presentation dinner for about 25 people. Food was excellent but service was unacceptably slow. Decor seemed dated and a bit stuffy. I would still like to revisit the restaurant again, but go for pleasure rather than for business. Of course, I'll have to work some overtime before I can think about going back. more
