Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Anthony Bonett

From the OpenTable editors: One of Philadelphai's most unique dining experiences, Moshulu brings diners aboard the deck of a more-than-century-old ship that's been docked on the Delaware for upscale seafood since 1996. The landmark restaurant, featured in movies like "Rocky" and "The Godfather Part II," serves up standout dishes like an “Admiral’s Plateau” of oysters, crab mac and cheese, and lobster frites.

    An outstanding experience as always. Whether I bring family, clients or business partners, The Moshulu food and service is 5 stars. As usual the service, smiles and promptness is perfect. "YASMINE" our server made my business partners very comfortable and brought top dining service to a new level. Professional, confident and well learned about the menu (including the specials) there was no doubt what we ordered would be spot on. Our hostesses greeted us with smiles and seated us promptly, well dressed and proper. Hats of to the chef, spectacular food prepared perfectly, and the dessert was to die for. It felt great to tell the manager how awesome their team is. He does a fine job keeping up on things. Whether you're on a long trip up the coast or local do NOT miss this Jewel, the ambience alone will "Awe" you. They have plenty of seating, and even an outside upper deck (weather permitting) Make reservations to assure you have a seat. And take care of those those taking care of you, the world doesnt like cheapskate...

    The dinner experience was exceptional. It is very rare to find a romantic location that had a very low noise level with a beautiful view and an experience for my date with marbled at the ship. The staff was very accommodating and allowed us to take a trip up top After we put our order in for our dinner. That made the entire experience magical for my date.

    I think the restaurant in general, is probably better than the experience we received. Our dinner could best be described as disappointing. This was a restaurant I've been wanting to try for a while. Our cocktials were good. Pretty cheap wine glasses for nice restaurant though. Lobster bisque was underwhelming(needed more lobster flavor and maybe some more sherry or tarragon), but the presentation was nice. Baked brie was good, Parker rolls were above average. The 65 dollar steak was underwhelming and a bit chewy, but cooked pretty close to med rare as we ordered it. Crab stuffed flounder was excellent. The main issues were extended timing between courses, a table all the way in the back corner that kinda sucked(this was a birthday reservation), a lack of attention from management when they seemed to touch every other table around us, and a server that was average, but didn't recognize any of our frustrations. We are restaurant people, so understand miscues happen, but just wasn't the night we expected for our visit. The little birthday tart at the end was a nice touch. Not great, not horrible.
