Devon Seafood Grill

Devon’s used to be my go to spot but sadly my last experience wasn’t good at all. I ordered calamari to start and salmon for entree. Both were disappointing, the calamari was oily and the salmon portion was too small and undercooked. Our waitress was great but the hostess was quite unprofessional. I’ll revisit them again in a few months since my past experiences were great. Maybe it was an off night.

Based on reviews from friends who dined here a few years ago, we decided to make a reservation on Friday night. Greeted & seated immediately. Waited a few minutes for our waitress, but took our drink order when she came, and gave us some time to look over the menu. If you're looking for quiet intimacy in a restaurant, this isn't it. It's loud. REALLY LOUD. Drinks were good. So we're the biscuits served with honey butter. I would love to say it got better from here, but it didn't. Our server seemed more preoccupied with 2 tables next to us then with getting our meal order. My wife ordered the lobster bisque and i ordered the bang bang Shrimp as an appetizer. Both were good, though we have both had better. Then our dinners came. I had swordfish grilled with butter & herbs. That was good...simple, fresh & tasty. Unfortunately my sides were not. The broccolini was undercooked and hard. The parmesan potatoes had little flavor. My wife had surf & turf. The steak cooked medium rare was good, as was her crab rice. The bourbon glazed shrimp were completely overcooked, rubbery & dry...not edible at all. My wife expressed this to our server, who seemed unfazed by it. We got take home (not the Shrimp or the sides). The bill came. No apology for the shrimp, nothing taken off the bill. I'm not one of those people who call the manager or argue over part of a meal. I AM however, one of those people who pay for their meal & never return. I feel that a $200 meal for 2 should taste like one, and Devon Seafood Grill didn't cut it, both in service and consistency in the quality of the meal. Even Guy Fieri's Chop House in AC gave us better food & service than we got here. I know everyone's experience can be different, but ours was not stellar.

Our server (Francisco) was great,our dishes were delicious and timely,served in good rhythm,never hurried nor waited too long.Francisco made great suggestions and explained the menu items as needed. The only downside of our day was the obscene price of parking.It is easy to understand why people don’t like to drive into Center City.

This was a great experience for my wife and me. It offers many great options, including non-seafood, for those who may not be fans. The food was excellent and the drinks were tasty. The service was wonderful. Shout out to Fernando for making it a great evening for us. I highly recommend this place for an upscale dining experience.

Devon's my darling you never disappoint.. Lunch is excellent including the atmosphere. I miss my Philly favorites, super excited to move back to the area. You know a PHILLY JAWN has to hit DSG.. SIX STARS

Great seafood restaurant, love it!
