"Had a great meal at Sbraga. The portion sizes are quite small, and I found myself wanting more of each dish which is just a testament to how good the food was. Will definitely be coming back"

"I have to admit that I am dubious of any restaurant with raving reviews in Philadelphia. I saw Sbraga's performance on his season of Top Chef, and didn't know what to expect. BOY, am I glad that I tried this place!
Incredibly elegant, creative, beautiful and balanced flavors. I LOVED the octopus dish with olive tapenade. The bold flavors were awesome, and not like anything I've had in Philly, and I have eaten pretty much everywhere. That's the kind of food I want to eat always. My only negative comment would be that although the wagyu beef was beautifully cooked, the accompaniments were a bit of a waste. I didn't bother eating them after tasting. A more creative sauce and side would have elevated the dish.
Will return!"

"Looking for a place to dine before an event at the Kimmel Center, this restaurant came to my attention. I was intrigued by the menu..and called to see if we could make the event, and still enjoy the fabulous 4 courses...and was assured that there would be time. And I am so glad, because we (party of four) had the dining experience of a lifetime!!! Unusual combinations, that sang to every taste bud ! The portions were not overwhelming, and good thing, since some were so rich...the size made them guilt free! I can't wait for my next chance to dine! The service was pampering and informative, and was a large part of the fine dining experience! YUM!"

"It was hard to relax and enjoy the amazing meal, dish after dish, due to the fact that the temperature was like a meat locker and I had a constant breeze from the AC vents above my head. But the food was mind blowingly good! Its a must try. Just bring a sweater!"

"The $49 prix fixe menu had enough choices to satisfy most people. I thought the second course could have had more variety. There were at least 4 fish choices - among them calimari, octopus and other exotic fish. There was a fluke which was good.
My third course was the lamb which was well prepared and very tasty. I had the bisquite savoire for dessert which was also very good. I would return to ths restaurant."

"Several previous restaurants had failed at this Pine and Broad location. So I was pleased to see Sbraga thriving and developing a neighborhood following. The decor is lovely, the waitstaff were excellent and helpful. The food was creative, unique and excellent. Lots of surprise spices and heat, which were a delight to us. The winelist is unique with excellent and unusual choices like Primitivos and vintages from the Canary Islands.
We. Had an excellent time and an exclent meal."

"Food and service was awesome! But tables for 2 were crammed too tight next to each other. It's actually uncomfortable when you first sit down. You're right on top off couples to your left and right! If I go back, it will be with a party larger than 2! Those tables looked ok. Food portions small but tastes are amazing. Our waiter was great. Just wish they didn't pack us like sardines!! Would have been more fun. Next time I'm bringing friends so they give us a larger table!"

"After several visits to Sbraga, the food and staff continue to amaze and delight. This time I was accompanied by two very discriminating diners and they are converts to Chef's foie gras soup, his pastas (can life get better than gnocchi with escargot?) and the amazing desserts. My friends kept comparing Sbraga's food to the best in NY City and Europe!!! The service, as always, was superb; starting with hosts, the efficient and accommodating manager, Ben, and the team of wait-staff who ensure smooth and attentive service. Will be returning as long as the Chef keeps preparing his masterpieces."

"My first visit; well worth it. Some have complained that the servings in the four course dinner are too small; if you have a big appetite that could be the case but I left feeling quite comfortable (although I certainly wouldn't have minded a bit more). Each course was very well done; much attention to detail and plating and the flavors were bold. If you don't have much tolerance for some spice (i.e. heat), you would want to order carefully. Service was excellent. I look forward to returning the next time i'm in Philly."

"The menu is changed fairly often - so check it out. This time, most of the dishes were seasoned with chile or peppers or both - something that one could not gather from reading the menu. This was disappointing as neither are my favorites and one of my dining companion has a food intolerance to both. The food is generally excellent but this visit was a disappointment."

"The restaurant definately sets out to provide a dining experience. The staff knows their stuff. The limited menu doesn't provide much for the non-meat eater. The 4 course tasting menu is the only option. The 1st 2 cources were miniscule. The crab salad was literally 1 teaspoon with 5 drops of sauce. It tasted OK. My second course was grilled eggplant. It was half of a strip of chewy eggplant, 1 1/2 inches in length, the sauce was overpowering. It took 45 minutes for each course to arrive.The fried chicken was excellent; moist and tasty, but the 2 legs must have been taken from the smallest bird in the coop. After waiting so long to eat we asked for dessert and the check when the main course arrived.The banana split was the best think."

"I had high expectations for Sbraga, having seen Kevin Sbraga on "Top Chef" and eaten some of his food at a tasting years ago... Fortunately, SBRAGA delivered in all areas from the ambiance to the service, and, most importatntly, the food!
My wife and I took two other foodie couples, and they too thought that the experience was terrific. We were all impressed with the creativity and bold flavors - certainly one of the best meals I've had in several years.
I can't wait to go back!"

"Was not impressed, in fact was very disappointed. They publicize a 4 course menu, but it should have been 8 courses given the size of each one! I was so hungry when I left that I ate a snack in my hotel room as soon as I arrived back. The wine pairings were lovely, they just need to increase their portion sizes especially for the money. Also, I chose the meat loaf which the server told me was "what they were known for". I frankly cannot understand why because not only was this the size of a silver dollar, but it was so salty that I could barely eat it. Other food items had good flavor, but I would not bother returning."

"Sbraga was everything I expected. An exciting experience, spectacular tastes with very creative combinations. The tasting menu had more than enough options in each course, I had to make decisions between two or more rather then finding something that I might want to try. The service was very attentive, a real team effort. I had reviewed the online menu prior to going, but was happy to find a new addition to the first course, a beef tartare which had just the right amount of heat and an interesting drink pairing. I will go back soon, but won't get the drink pairing for $35. For me, it wasn't worth the price ($70 for our table of 2), perhaps because I don't have the palate for subtle wine/drink pairings. The entire experience was wonderful!"

"Superb food and excellant service......Chef has the ability to take gourmet ingredients such as fois grois and make them into new exciting preparations such as a delicious soup, or a simple dish such as fried chicken and elevate it to an elegant gourmet dish. I cannot wait to go back !!"

"This was our sixth or seventh visit to what is clearly the best restaurant on a food/value scale in the city. The shrimp scampi soup, the gnochi with snails, the coriander infused spring lamb and the praline napoleon were all memorable. Even though every table was taken the service was seamless. We had been delayed getting into town and called in and ordered from the menu they read to us so that everything was ready when we arrived and therefore didn't have to worry about being late for our concert."

"This was a very creative restaurant with a very well paced 4 course meal, with matching beverages if you wish. There are not many vegetarian choices, but the courses that are offered are thoughtful and often inspired choices. In comparison to many restaurants, portion sizes are intentionally not large, but by the end of the meal you will probably like you have had enough to eat. Many restaurants that try to pull this off end up with long gaps between courses, and the organization of the meal was nearly as impressive as the food itself. Highly recommended!"

"This rates as one of the best meals ever. We can be somewhat critical having dined in so many superlative restaurants. Everything was perfectly done. First time dining there so you never know until doing so if it will live up to the rep. It does! One might think at this price the portions might be small. Granted they are not large. But this is fine dining of exceptional ingredients, recipes, preparation, presentation. Each one was done so well and portioned and timed appropriately so that by the end of the 4 courses you are content with everything. Tremendous variety of choices for each of the 4 courses. Eyes were rolling in delight :) Bravo!"

"I was sadly disappointed by an uneven meal at Sbraga. The meal started (chicken liver mousse) and ended (roasted pepper pineapple) on high notes, but the seafood course (octopus) was too dry and the meat course (lamb) was incredibly salty."

My mother complained about the music, so maybe not the best place to take a senior citizen that would prefer a quieter meal.
The signature dishes are excellent."

"From the minute we walked in my husband and I knew we were going to have an amazing dinner. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They sat us right at our table and then the fun began. There are always times you go to restaurants with new unique items you want to try and at Sbraga with the 4 course menu you can try it all. Our waitress was very knowledgeable on the menu and was able to educate us on many foods we had never even heard of. We had so much fun trying and sharing each dish. I don't have one thing to recommend because anything you order will be amazing. It was my husbands birthday so Chef Kevin had a little baggie of chocolate krispys and a birthday note for him. We can't wait to go back! Thank you Sbraga!!"
