Philadelphia is filled with so many gorgeous restaurants, from the ceilings to the lights, the atmosphere, and everything in between, writes Maddy Sweitzer-Lammé for OpenTable.
For instance, SkyHigh inside the Four Seasons features 40-foot windows surrounding all four sides. There are also mirror-paneled ceilings that reflect the sidewalks and allow you to see as far as New Jersey during sunny days.
Talula’s Garden’s outdoor space in Washington Square features an actual garden with vine-covered trellises and lots of greenery.
At Barclay Prime in Rittenhouse Square, the Carrera marble surfaces, crystal chandeliers, and wooden book shelves are a view.
Meanwhile, White Dog Cafe in University City is equipped with a residence-like interior.
When you step inside Philadelphia Distilling in Fishtown, you’ll notice its industrial-chic vibes accentuated by its natural lights, high ceilings, colonial-style furniture, and white oak floors.
Originally built in 1919, Rex at the Royal was renovated and reopened in 2022 and conserved its original stained-glass windows and sweeping staircase.
The cool blue light at Morimoto’s dining room is notable, as it gives the feel of the underwater.
The tiled floors and arched windows at Louie Louie gives off a vintage bistro atmosphere.
Meanwhile, the marble columns and high ceilings at Aqimero are notable.
