"The food was excellent. The drinks perfect. The service could have been a bit better considering the restaurant was not very busy, but the waiter was friendly, informative and attentive. The setting is perfect, along the Delaware river walk. I would return to this restaurant."

"No where on the website did it say that this restaurant was located in the hotel. It was very good food, however, overpriced since it was in the hotel. If you are staying at the hotel and have no other options, it is fine. But for trying to go out in the city and find a nice place on the water, it wasnt really worth the money. I work in hotels, so i understand the overpricing of food. But it would have been nice to know this restaruant was in the hotel before showed up."

"My boyfriend and I went to dinner at Keatings for my birthday and had a great dinner. The food was amazing as well as the drinks. My one complaint was that management only had one server on duty and she was obviously overwhelmed. She did a great job and I was upset listening to other tables complain about their slow service. A manager walked by a table near us who wanted to pay and he told the customer, "I will go get your server for you" instead of handling the situation on his own. He stood around talking to one table for many minutes while our server ran around waiting on at least a dozen tables alone. There was a busboy and what looked to be about 3 bartenders standing around not helping at all."

"Food & service was very good. The rack of lamb was delicious. My wife had the crab cake & petite filet; the crab cake was very good, but the filet was cooked a bit more than medium. It's a large hotel restaurant, so does not have the ambiance of a smaller more intimate room. Looks like the outdoor portion with the river view would be fun when the weather gets warmer. Overall we were pleasantly surprised because some reviews we read were not too favorable."

"The restaurant has potential. Since its located in a hotel it will have plenty of opportunities to impress. But they need a new chef. The food was t good at all. I went on travelzoo but it wasn't even worth the $59. The service was ok. There was one waiter to six tables. I won't be going back anytime soon."

"Our server Ramy was very attentive, intelligent and fabulous. Food presentation was above average to excellent. Portions were plentiful but not over stuffing- nice size. Drinks good, scene and atmosphere very nice. Good time-- probably much busier in the summer when the docks are filled. Will definitely return."

"Last minute reservation while waiting to pick up daughter at Philly airport. Explained to waitress we were on a tight time schedule and she was most accommodating. It was a Monday night in February and the place was empty so there isn't much to compare it to. Food was decent. The file mignon was a little overcooked, however, it is my experience that the main chef's are probably off on Mondays so who can complain."

"Great service, very friendly staff, nice bar, great views and ambiance. Food was good but not great. Restaurant has a small intimate feel, despite the large room with high ceilings and big windows overlooking the river. I'd go back for drinks and lunch and maybe appetizers but not for the main dinner menu which was pretty average. Definitely will stop in again for drinks with a date."

"It was way too expensive for the service that was given and the food they had. The water glasses weren't completely clean, and the food was under cooked. The bill came out to about $250 for 6 people with an automatic $30 charge if gratuity, that I believe was not deserved since the service was not up to par. I will never go here again."
