"Wow. We were delighted with the restaurant and the singing of the wait staff! The food was just fine, but the whole experience was really fabulous. I almost hate to write a good review, since I would love to keep this a secret so we can always get a table. However, that's not fair to the restaurant, the staff and other diners."

"Great combination of good food, and singing servers. The jazz was okay, but the servers made the night. Without the good food, however, who would care - the total package is what makes The High Note Cafe special. I'd recommend it."

"Overall good experience - until we got the check and saw that we were charged for a second cup of coffe! Very tacky for a fairly expensive meal!
We will not return, nor will we recommend High Note to friends."

"The unique draw here is the singing servers (they are excellent) and the great Italian food. Their portions are very large and great for sharing. If you are 4 or more, they have a special family style meal, reasonably priced and very good. From your favorite pasta dishes, to seafood, and great pizza, everything we have had has been excellent. It is an intimate dining room and very enjoyable. When in South Philadelphia and looking for a fun evening & great food, don't miss the High Note Cafe."
