Irwin's Philadelphia Reviews
The food is pretty average Italian type food.
It used to be much better. Extremely expensive must order the "tasting menu" for parties five and over. You get $71 of food for $90. There's an additional service charge totaling 22%. With one glass of wine it's $147 per person. I
Amazing evening upstairs and outdoors at Irwin's located on
Amazing evening upstairs and outdoors at Irwin's located on the top floor of the Bok building. Had never been before (had never even heard of it!) until our 30-something's suggested it for dinner. We went early enough to be able to enjoy an
The setting is lovely, and unique.
The food was quite good, but not over the top, and the service was fine, but the price point is completely not matched by the service, nor the level of the food, nor the portions. Maybe in New York, but this is Philadelphia, we have too many options
Outstanding food and atmosphere.
Unique dishes particularly eggplant carbonata (best e er). Though drinks were slow the service was gracious. This is a one of a kind place that u don't forget

One of the most delightful and delicious dinners we have had recently. The setting in a repurposed school - on the 8th (tippy top) floor roof deck overlooking Philadelphia at sunset was charming and playful (weighted glass apple paperweights to hold

We LOVED it here! Everything about our time was so sweet and so fun. We're vegetarian and loved our pastas and the broccoli rabe. We were on the early side and got to linger for the sunset. Our server Micah was the best. It costs more than we us

Came here on a Wednesday evening around 6pm, we had reservations for 5:15pm but were running super late, but thankfully since it wasn't a weeknight it wasn't too crowded. We got a few drinks, some mezzes, and some pasta (no big entrees). Pa
This place is super cute but just come for drinks.
The amount and quality of food you get for the price isnt worth it. The gnocchi was tough and not good. I was disappointed by our meals.

Went there on a Thursday night place was not crowded but outside was getting more crowded. The views are amazing. That being said the food inside was fair and very small portions. They suggested we share dinners an appetizers. It was tasty but nothin

The prosciutto and melon was interesting, although I thought the melon cut too much into the prosciutto flavor. I enjoyed the melon vinaigrette a lot. The focaccia was tasty and the crust was perfectly crunchy. I wasn't a huge fan of the tomato

They make the magic up on that roof! The staff is the friendliest and the pasta is what I'm always snackin' on. Give em a big hug the next time you stop by.
the food here was.
...very average at best. Out of everything I ate I would only recommend the crudo and the milk & honey gelato. The pasta was salty and hard. I'm really only giving this place 3 stars for the ambiance and fast service.
Simply excellent.
They deserve a Michelin star as far as I'm concerned. The service, the food, the ambiance. All 10/10.
Pretentious and expensive and youโll leave hungry
That itโs atop a reclaimed school is unique and interesting but thereโs an abundance of pretentiousness and the small servings at very high prices left me disappointed. There are odd rules like you cannot order an appetizer until you place your e
would have given a 4.
5 but not an option, and def not a 4, closer to a 5. not sure why the reviews say Irwin's is so bad because it was DELICIOUS. get the whole fish. pasta not the best. dessert is a MUST. waiters were so nice!!! love the space so beautiful. go go go!

The ambiance at Irwin's is SO cool! The views are unparalleled.. gorgeous space and also quirky cute with the high school themed deco. Service was also fantastic- shoutout to Josรฉ, our waiter, for taking great care of us! I wish the food had matche
First of all, we had the best server.
She was knowledgeable of the menu, made some good recommendations and was chatty but not too chatty. We shared a salad, lamb rigatoni and the whole fish. All were excellent. I really liked the whole fish. It was light but seasoned perfectly. You

On Sunday April 14, 2024 approximately 5:45 , we attempted to get Irwin's and sit at the bar for drinks and possibly appetizers. The male host said a reservation was needed, however there wasn't anyone sitting at the bar or in the restaurant at that

Irwin's is an Italian restaurant located inside Bok Building, which was an old school revitalized as an artsy complex space. From the school desks to the chairs, the vintage furnishings of Irwin's give a nostalgic vibe. ๏ผShallot and Thyme Focacci
Small place, small drinks, small plates, big prices
The highlights here are the atmosphere and the service. Really top notch. We sat at the bar and enjoyed chatting with our server and loved the city view as it went from daylight to dusk to night. The drinks were excellent. We had the Sicilian, the

Went recently for my birthday dinner with a group-- my requirements were good fish: had the tasting menu. In comparison, I spent a week in Sicily this past summer-- I liked Irwin's more than most of the food in Sicily (they tend to throw super salty
AMAZING BEST MEAL I HAD IN 2023.
I can't wait to go back. The salde had such a unique taste and the swordfish was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I could post the pasta, I inhaled it before I could snap a pic.
Incredible meal start to finish.
Couldn't recommend it more for a romantic date night. Our server was so kind and made excellent recommendations. Each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. My favorites were the chicken and the swordfish. Will absolutely be back!
My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Irwin's.
We didn't have a reservation, but they had space for us at their beautiful bar. Really innovative and delicious cocktails, served with care and craft. The view and ambiance are as great as everyone says, but that wouldn't matter much if the food wer
Good Food in A Quirky Setting
I had an excellent meal, all dishes tasty & well presented. The Sicilian inspired menu is concise, with a selection of mezze appetisers followed by pasta & meat/fish dishes. Service was very friendly & efficient. The restaurant is situate

I was hesitant to dine at Irwin's because of some of the reviews and overall low rating on Yelp but was pleasantly surprised. They have listened to reviews, hired a better chef, and increased portions. The view from the top of Bok is incredible, I
Sicilian cuisine at its finest.
Showcasing fresh local ingredients every season. So satisfying. Pasta is outstanding and varied!! Service is stellar and love the music and ambiance.
The best in Philly
To my mind, this is the best restaurant in Philly - the setting is awesome, the top floor of a former technical school with breathtaking city views. They have left the walls and structure intact, so there is still the tech school vibe, but that is wh
Make sure you eat quickly here. . . . or else!
This was my fifth visit to Irwins and it will be my last. We ordered a lot of food, had drinks, a bottle of wine and dessert. The food came out quickly and we did not linger. While we were still eating dessert, the Maitre D just simply brought our ch
Not coming back rude chef
Owner/chef was extremely rude, unaccomodating when asked to please leave the head off upon serving the fish. My only choice was the chicken. Would not come back. Was such a simple request!
Great night out all in one building and location
The Bok Building is a historic and iconic structure located in South Philadelphia. The buildingโs architecture is a mix of Art Deco and Modernist styles, showcasing its rich history and unique design. It features a distinct tower with large vertica
Worth one visit
This is a cute casual indie restaurant and a fun food adventure. Do I need to repeat it at this priceโฆprobably not. Small plate Italian food done very well but not unique enough to demand its price point. An appetizer of spaghetti and clams for $18
Save your money and go to the bar next door for the view!
We tend to go out to eat all the time, because my daughter is a food reviewer. This was probably the worst food we have ever had. The smallest plates and extremely expensive. The pasta was horrible. The gnocchiโs are not like normal gnocchis basica
Arrogance of Owenership
A simple request to accommodate resulted in aggressive push back and accusation of customer fault - how could I have supposed that I was required to sit outside in the rain? Owner Michael Ferreri is a specific person to avoid; as owner he is hot-he
Tasting Menu is a Disappointment and Misleading
We had dined here during the pandemic and were excited to return with our adult children and their spouses. Unfortunately, the need to order a tasting menu because of table size really negatively impacted everyone's experience. The server did not ade
Connect with users posting reservations for Irwin's Philadelphia
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Irwin's Philadelphia. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Irwin's Philadelphia at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Irwin's Philadelphia page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* GallantAnswer60, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* GallantAnswer60 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to GallantAnswer60 for any questions Peter may have as GallantAnswer60 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* GallantAnswer60 now uses their connections at Irwin's Philadelphia to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If GallantAnswer60 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, GallantAnswer60 receives the $200 reward which is credited to GallantAnswer60's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Irwin's Philadelphia!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
