Delicious meal!!! Our favorite restaurant in the city

My daughter and I had a great overall experience at Vernick Food & Drink. It began with our request to sit at the Chef’s counter to watch the food preparation action, the creative cocktails, seamless service, and finally, the sublime food. The menu is creative with many options for dining - small plates, large plates, brick oven specialties, small starter ‘toasts’ and ‘raw fish’ menus. A perfect tasting menu for diners to share the variety of unique dishes offered. The mix of flavors in each dish are complex and perfectly tuned, and the preparation is flawless. Highly recommended.

Superb! Excellent service and the food was absolutely devine. We didn’t have reservations so we sat in the lounge area so of course I can’t comment on the ambience. Even still I 100% recommend this restaurant.

Food was good but my waitress seemed to forget about us. I think the dishwasher boy cleaned our plates and dumped everything out

Vernick’s cooking style is chic minimalism: “simple” unfussy dishes with flawless technical execution. Every little detail feels just right. Above all, the food’s so delicious that you’ll savor each bite. The service was thoughtful and welcoming. The waitstaff spent a lot of time to guide me through the menu, highlighting the popular and the “signature” dishes. I’ve become a huge fan of the Vernick brand. Too many restaurants charge more for worse experiences. Vernick’s pricing seems fair for such consistently delicious and skillfully made food. It easily passes the most important test: do I look forward to dining here again? Absolutely yes! I’m practically guaranteed a wonderful dining experience.

great tasting food , and knowledgeable and friendly wait staff made for a good dining experience.

Truly one of the best restaurants in Philadelphia. I usually do not like to spend real money on food in this city as it is not typically as good as neighboring metropolitan areas, however this is an outlier. We shared everything. They started the service off with a small butternut squash soup with a mini bread biscuit, this was outstanding. Brussel sprouts were incredible with great texture and uniform chili coating. The fettuccine mushroom bolognese was delicious. We opted for both fish dishes that night, which were wonderful. Ended on a dark chocolate brownie with milk chocolate ice cream. All together a great dining experience, would recommend.

What an amazing birthday dinner for my dearest. This place hit the expectations and beyond! Can we 1st talk about the impeccable service! From attentive to friendly and more! 1st we got a complimentary Amuse-bouche of butternut squash that was the perfect bite. Followed by 2 different toast appetizes...1 blue crab and 1 shrimp and was so beyond pleased! Savory but still light and fresh. Osso bucco and rack of lamb for dinner and again hit it out the park. Veal Osso bucco was served with a apple celery slaw that was so nice and light with a perfect citrus accent it, made what could have been a heavy meal feel light and balanced. That butter and veggies pared with the rack of lamb was also great compliment to eachother. And finished off with a passion fruit pavolva with coconut macaroons which was not too sweet and a delicious combo of flavors. Big A+ for this restaurant
