The Little Lion

Wow - our experience here was fantastic. The restaurant is very charming, but acoustics aren't the greatest so it was a little loud (which didn't bother us). The brunch menu was awesome - we wanted everything on it. Our server was great and made some recommendations based on customer favorites. Our group of 4 got 5 different things and shared everything. All of the food was delicious. Next time I am in Philly I would love to come back here again to try some of the other items on the menu!

Went for Sunday Brunch with a party of 6. The architecture and atmosphere are a great touch. We sampled a wide selection of food and drink options and they were all great. The Beef Short Rib Hash was extremely flavourful and I recommend it. I am picky with my grits and I have to say the grits were done perfectly. I would recommend this place to others and the next time I am in Philly I would definitely go back again. Waitress was attentive and the experience was delightful.

First time there. We had a puppy with us who is going through some exposure to become a therapy dog. They were very good to us with having an animal along. Food and drinks were great! I don't remember our waiters name but he was very good to us with everything. Especially since we were not local. Only thing I did not like was the brunch going till so late in the day. But the chicken sandwich appetizer I had was absolutely amazing! And I love fresh cut french fries! Would def return!

This is my second visit to The Little Lion, this time just before the Sunday brunch crowd really took off. The wait and host staff are welcoming and prompt. Interior ambiance is sharp and reflects historic Philadelphia quite well, excellent for anyone seeking a fully thought out dining experience. Now the food, I'm bias with a love of southern food, and on both of my visits, each with a different dining guest, and different selections (get the grits to share, they're exceptional!), everything is wonderful! I couldn't be more pleased with my dining experience...great after going to the new American Revolution Museum across the street.

Came for dinner around 4:00 p.m. While there were several patrons sitting outside, there was loads of space available inside. We were seated in the up stairs section which had its own bar. Our waiter was super friendly, helpful, and courteous. We both ordered the fried chicken entree, and split the fried green tomatoes appetizer. We each got our own cocktails because it was happy hour. Over all, had an extremely pleasant meal and would return .

Had the chance to enjoy a nice brunch outside. Really good service! Food for the most part was good. I was a bit disappointed with the hash because the short rib was really dry. The pancakes we really good. And the buffalo chicken biscuits with gravy was really good. I'd pass on the fried green tomatoes.
