• I love Amada!

  by ChefMoz.org

  
  

• If you are looking for a Spanish cousin this is not the place. I was disappointed. They don't know what they are serving.

  by Rambe B

  
  

• I enjoyed the flat bread the most. We shared the edmami salad and the wagyu sirloin they were all good.

  by Hind S

  
  

• The tapas are a bit disappointing. Avoid the octopus and the gambas al ajillo. The tocino de cielo was good and also the rabo de toro.

• Superb! I highly recommend all of their shrimp dishes.

  by J W.

  
  

• This is one of my favorite restaurants in Philly! Try some of the cured meats, garlic shrimp, flatbreads, fideos made with calamari, and the lamb meatballs.... but, honestly, everything is great here.

  by Hannah G.

  
  

• The food is great but the service is a bit slow!

  by Boris F

  
  

• Nice ambience, delicious Spanish cheeses and meats (splurge for the jamón iberico), and it's worth trying as many different items as possible. The garnacha blend Prima is a winner from the wine list

  by Lance L.

  
  

• Dinner is good, but make a reservation or be prepared to wait. Nice selection of Spanish wines for a drink at the bar too!

  by Larisa Grollemond

  by Joanna S

  
  

• The hanger steak bites and the cheese plate with apple slices and honey were both AMAZING.

  by Ariel R

  
  

• If you want to eat tapas you will be disappointed here. They are very different than what you find in Spain. Portions are really small for a tapa and over-expensive.

  by Alex Mas

  
  

• Try the grilled pulpo.

  by Katherine W.

  
  

• The scallops a la plancha and the chicken hijo are amazing and Excellent red wines

  by Katie E

  by Mon Salvany

  
  

• Everything was so amazing. The grilled scallops are by far the best item on this menu!

  by Derya G.

  
  

• Pernil Asado, must get.

  by Jonathan T.

  
  

• The menu is varied, but the food itself is all equally dry and uninspired. Go elsewhere.

  by Eric B.

  
  

• One of the best restaurants in Philly. Some of my favorites are the crab stuffed peppers and the parmesan artichokes, but everything on the menu is delish!!!

  by Lore B.

• While Garces isn't in the kitchen, much of the menu is still full of his spirit. Even though it opened in 2005, getting a reservation is still a challenge 7 years later. [Eater 38 Member]

  by Eater
