• The wine was good.
• Long wait, bad service, less than memorable food.

“Vestry was the most disappointing dining experience I have ever had. My husband and I had read all of the glowing reviews Ned made reservations well in advance to dine at vestry¿s during a recent trip to Philadelphia. We had to wait for almost 1 hour for our table only to be shocked at the menu. The menu choices were limited and unless one is excited about veal kidneys, tripe or octopus, forget it. Until the waiter gave us additional options with the specials, I could find almost nothing appetizing. I hoped for spectacular service at such a touted eatery, but there was so much lag time between the appetizer and the entree, I thought our order had been lost. So, we spent a fortune for me to eat fettucinethat took forever to reach the table! After a less than memorable entree, I prepared to be wowed by the desserts. Unfortunately, the desserts were no better than any chain restaurant. And to add insult to injury, the chef stopped and chatted with every table around ours, but never even spoke to us. How vestry¿s has captured its reputation leaves me totally puzzled. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone under any circumstance!”

• Cozy atmosphere.
• Ridiculously expensive & we walked away hungry.

“I recently had dinner for the first and last time at Vetri and was EXTREMELY disappointed. Following the kudos the restaurant recently received in an issue of Bon Appetit, I made Vetri reservations for a Saturday night. We decided to go with another couple to dine on the 8-course chef tasting menu. Although I recognized that the flat $115 per person rate was steep, my husband and I often treat ourselves to elaborate dinners for special occasions. If you can believe it, our bill at the end of the night was almost $700 for four people and, we left hungry!! It was totally embarrassing for me since I suggested we go there. Be warned this restaurant takes the concept of tasting to the extreme. My advice would be to eat before you go.”
