I know the animation industry has been going through a serious rough patch in the past 10 years. I just hope the medium and the artists making it can get the respect they deserve someday soon. So I wanna take a moment to spread a reminder of the powerful emotional scenes we've gotten from animation in the past 10 years.

RED OWL TAVERN

433 Chestnut Street, Philadlphia. Pa 19105

Located in the Kimpton Hotel Monaco in Philadelphia, this so-called Rustic-chic tavern claims to revive the classic tavern experience, with a distinctly modern touch. If anything can be farther from the truth. Their upscale American comfort fare is not upscale at all, the only thing upscale about this restaurant is the price

Okay, you say to yourself, hey I read the reviews on yelp they are mostly good. Well maybe, but here is the real down and dirty about this place.

First off being located in the Hotel Monaco it has a captive customer base so the restaurant is mostly always crowded, but not with regulars, but with tourists who come to Philadelphia to see the historic sites.

Second, most of the regulars go to the red Owl Tavern for drinks and conversation, and not necessarily the food.

Third, In my opinion,this restaurant is not handicap friendly and does not meet the Federal handicap standards in most states. For example, the restaurant has a small dining area and a large bar on the first floor with a large dining area on the second floor. In order to get to the second floor you have to walk up a steep winding staircase. Oh you could take the elevator located in the hotel if you want to walk out of the restaurant and down the corridor. Unfortunately the elevator was out of service at the time.

The restaurant does not have a rest room and you need to go out of the restaurant and into the hotel and take the elevator to the basemet level in order to and use the hotel’s rest room facilities.

This is supossed to be an upscale restaurant, not a shopping mall, so you would expect that they would have rest room facilities in the restaurant.

Okay, so now to the food and service of the Red Owl Tavern.

I had a reservation for brunch for 10 people. Downstairs seating was not equiped to handle 10 people so we were seated upstairs.

Our waiter was named Matthew amd he was a rude irritating person who gave us the impression that he was doing us a favor by waiting on us.

When I made the reservation I requested separate checks, but Matthew said no way but he would separate the check into 4 parts. This never happened and we got one bill which we had to figure out for ourselves. (I will discuss this later in the review)

The Food

The food presentation was exceptional. I mean each entree looked like it was part of a food and wine photo shoot. Each entrée looked so fantastic, unfortunately that's where it ended.

Chicken and Waffle $23.00 - This item was cold and served with 2 chicken thighs with the skin on which was soggy and dripping grease so you were eating fat along with a cold waffle that tasted like it had cayenne pepper infused into the batter -GROSS

Avocado Toast $17.00 - This item came on top of a piece of toast that was so hard we needed a steak knife to cut it, which is what was requested. It was bland and hard to eat.

Brisket Taco $22.00 - 3 small tacos with very fatty meat and no taste.

Smoked Salmon $17.00 - Here is an item that is hard to screw up, but the Red Owl Tavern did just that. This item came on a piece of bread not a bagel, and like the Avocado toast was so hard that a steak knife was needed to cut it. Traditional smoked salmon calls for red onion, but this red onion was dipped in red wine vinegar, which dripped onto the smoked salmon destroying the taste of the salmon, which was bland to start with.

Fried Chicken Sandwich $18.00 - A fried chicked thigh, soggy and greasy on a bun with fries. The Chicken sandwich was GROSS but the fries were good.

Sausage and Gravy $16.00 each - This item was good but it was cold when it came to the table.

Two eggs entree $22.00 - This was was the best of of the lot. It was tasty and served hot.

Service

Our bill was $205.00 to which a Service charge of $3.66 was added to the bill as a tip to the kitchen staff and another $41.00 was added as a gratituty for our the waiter.

I have been in th restaurant business for many years and I usually leave a twenty percent tip when i dine out if the service was good. If the food was poor but the service was good i stil leave a twenty percent tip, but it is my choice and not an add on to the check like many restaurants in Philadelphia are doing.

If you are not aware, the word “tip” comes from the phrase “To Insure Promptness.” This phrase was found on the sides of bowls in coffee houses, where patrons could leave some money to ask for prompt service. Through the years, this became the practice we know today of tipping after the meal. Generally, you could say tipping is done as a a way to say thanks for being prompt and otherwise excellent service.

However, if the service is poor I should not be forced to give a twenty percent tip for poor, slow and incompetent service.

Also, keep in mind that if a waiter is going to get a twenty percent tip regardless of the quality of service rendened; what is the incentive to give good service ?

All in all the RED OWL TAVERN in my opinion provides poor quality food and service at high prices and automaticly adds on a twenty percent tip to customers whether the service is good or bad and ads insult to injury by forcing their customers to do the work of figuring out their own checks.

NOT WORTH THE EFFORT!
