I recently dined at Talula's Garden and sampled the following dishes: - Crispy Lamb Belly - Tuna Tartare - Roasted Chicken & Gnocchi The Crispy Lamb Belly was outstanding, delivering a delightful contrast of textures with its crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior that melted in my mouth. The Tuna Tartare, while tasty, was disappointing in terms of portion size considering the price. Additionally, the dish would have benefited from an accompaniment, such as pita or cucumber slices, to enhance the overall experience. The Roasted Chicken & Gnocchi featured a beautifully tender and well-seasoned chicken, but the dish was let down by the limited number of gnocchi. The service at Talula's Garden was exemplary. The servers were attentive and friendly, ensuring that water glasses were consistently refilled and cutlery was promptly replaced. The ambiance of the restaurant is vibrant and colorful, with ample natural light creating a welcoming atmosphere. True to its name, Talula's Garden is adorned with an abundance of flowers, evoking the feeling of dining in a garden. However, there was a minor issue with a leak in the ceiling above our table, causing occasional droplets of water to fall on one of our party members. Overall ratings: * Food: 4/5 * Service: 5/5 * Ambiance: 4/5

Was able to come here having being gifted a gift card, and I'm so happy we picked this place off of the possible options. We went on a cool March night and sat outside, it was so warm and cozy with the heaters. Our server was so kind and informative, and we needed it as two early 20s who never get to experience nice dining. The food was next level. The portions are good sizes, the flavor is strong and vibrant. Everything was warm and fresh. We celebrated our anniversary here and they gave us an extra dessert for free. Everything was amazing and I hope we can save up and go back one day.

This place has been reliably excellent for the last decade. The environment is always warm and welcoming, and the food has never let me down. Last night I was with my parents, I had the chicken with gnocchi, mom had the duck lo mein, dad had the scallops and shrimp with risotto. All three had great flavor and texture, a great meal to take your time with. The server was Marisa, great blend of warmth and professionalism - when we started discussing mocktails and what she recommended, she was quick and detailed about what she liked and why, and steered me to the right drink for the meal (the beekeeper, I think was the name) The manager did a quick "table touch" where he checked in with us about how it was going, but without lingering - the timing of everything and everyone who worked there felt great. I respect both the consistency and the quality a lot.

We travel to Philly for work several times per year. Always stay downtown and we try different local spots as often as possible. Holy moly this place is beautiful. The quaint open garden entrance alone is lovely. Inside you'll find an eclectic mix of decor from the flatware to the wallpaper. It is really beautiful. The meatball appetizer alone was super impressive. Delicious sauce we were soaking up with our bread. My wife had the chicken and I tried the pasta with sausage. This is one of the best meals we've had in the city. They print a new menu daily and we can't wait to come back and try something new! Our server was a moment away at all times. We never had an empty glass and we moved through our courses perfectly. You must try this place if you haven't been. It will not disappoint!

Came in to celebrate an anniversary and sat out in the garden. We loved being surrounded by all the flowers and greenery. The menu is extensive and almost overwhelming as it is a huge wall of text on paper. Our server Tyler was fantastic- they were very friendly and patient and offered recommendations, answering our questions with a smile. We started with the crispy lamb belly, which was served with a knife that we did not end up needing. It was so tender and pulled apart so easily our jaws dropped! The eggplant baba and corn relish complimented the lamb so wonderfully and we wish the dish was larger! My partner opted for the roasted chicken and gnocchi. The chicken breast was cooked to perfection, perfectly juicy and not at all dry with a crispy skin. The truffle & taragon 'gravy' was savory and well seasoned. I had the sea scallop & shrimp risotto. The scallops and shrimp were also cooked perfectly with a nice sear on the outside and juicy inside. The risotto was lovely, but I did feel that the lemon scent/flavoring got overwhelming halfway through the entrée. The entrée portion sizes were hefty which we appreciated. Tyler highly recommended the donuts, which we took to-go and thoroughly enjoyed. I am not a donut fan, but they were so wonderfully fluffy and the lemon cream and huckleberry sauce added a nice tart & fresh dimension to elevate the dish. They also gave us a free dessert of coconut cake with caramel and strawberry cream for our celebration. The cake was dense yet fluffy, reminiscent of Japanese-style cheesecake. The caramel was delicious and definitely house-made. We loved celebrating our anniversary here and would love to dine here again next time we are in the area.

Tucked away in the bustling City of Brotherly Love, there is a hidden gem, a tranquil garden restaurant that reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. It's been on my list of must visits for a long time. Our fabulous and attentive waiter, Tyler, started us off with explaining which drinks can be made into a mocktail for me and my son. I appreciate the patience. Here is what we ordered: Apps: - Candied Bacon Strips (like eating delicious sweet & spicy beef jerky) - Dandelion & Baby Romaine Caesar, Sweet & Savory Figs, Lemon Scented Sourdough Crotons with Parmesan Dressing (my son and I loved it) Entrees: - Eggs Royale with Smoked Salmon Benedict - Southern Shrimp & Grits with Sweet Gulf Shrimps - Double Patties Smashburger with Talula's Secret Sauce Sides: - Fresh Baked Cheddar-Chive Biscuit with Salted Honey Black Pepper Butter - Single Pancake I would skip the fresh baked cheddar-chive biscuits. It was served cold and wasn't as soft as I would have liked. The chive flavor didn't come through. We all loved the simple pancake. It was airy and yummy, this is how a pancake should be. The winner is the Smashburger, it was juicy, perfectly cooked and the bun was soft. I love the taste of high quality beef. I enjoyed the unusual fries as well. I'm guessing they cut it up and blistered the potato skin that made it curled up. I couldn't stop eating them. Dress Code: Smart Casual but I saw most of the women here in pastel floral printed dresses. I was all in black. Hey, what can I say, I'm from New York City.

As always, excellent food, 5 star service, and great atmosphere. We dined outside. The staff filled our waters promptly, brought food out quickly, and were pleasant and enjoyable! The food was great - big portions for the entrees. We all left full and happy.

Phenomenal atmosphere, our waiter was so knowledgeable about the menu and we ordered tapas style to try most things. Will definitely be back.

LOVE this place!!!! Incredible, flavorful food, nice staff, pretty interior, and a beautiful garden. I loved their mango margarita cocktail, it was called The Wanderer. Good flavor and they can make it spicy too! Definitely want to go back and try more items on the menu.
