Walking through the front entrance you are welcomed in and enter the luxe bar area, well stocked to make all sorts of tasty cocktails by a skilled mixologist at the bar. Beyond that is the dining area and open patio that connects to the kitchen shared with Ambra. Cocktail menu features unique combinations. Tried the 'last bastion for cowards' and it was smooth, herbal, with a subtle sweetness: very interesting mix of tequila, carpano antica, crème de cacao, and rabarbaro. (Rhubarb amaro liqueur) Dinner started with a small cup amuse bouche of cucumber mint purée soup, a nice refresher before any courses. Next was Mahi crudo - very tender fish with fennel and dill, along with tart and sweet flavors from the kiwi and strawberry. Mains of beef with semolina dumpling, spinach. Great flavors with veg / dumpling and beef pieces. Dessert was a soft and creamy ginger mascarpone mousse: just the right amount of sweetness, and topped with sugar 'honeycomb' to add great texture. Great courses and experience here, a much more casual version of Ambra with all the same skill and quality. Thanks

Service was great! Our waitress was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Every single plate was presented beautifully. The drinks were also so good and well balanced. The waitress also included a scoop of gelato with our desserts! Would definitely return to try other dishes!

The environment of the restaurant was incredibly inviting and calming. The food is amazing with a comforting feeling. The cocktails were great as well. I was happy they start you off with a good tasting small soup. The soup sets a warm tone for the rest of the dinner. The service did not feel rushed and my friends and I at the dinner were able to have a nice meal.

This is one of my favorite spots in Philly. The staff are always lovely and on point, the food is adventurous, surprising and always great. We hosted a wedding celebration dinner on their side patio a few summers ago and my family still talks about it!! Over a decade ago under Southwark's previous ownership, my waitress friends and I would go for a late night cocktail after our shift, and it was the perfect cozy spot to duck into. All these years later and present-day Southwark is perfectly cozy but somehow in a fresher, more thoughtful way? Not many places can pull that off. Aaaanyway southwark 4ever never change.

This restaurant is on the fancier side and usually requires a reservation so the food is pricey. The ambiance is nice but it was a bit too dim so it was hard to see at times. We were sat immediately with a reservation and the servers were nice. Lamb Confit 3/5: The lamb was tasty and tender but the sauce was too overwhelmingly salty. Pleasant Duck 4/5: The duck was soft and had a crispy edge but there were only 3 small pieces. Some components of the dish were also on the saltier side. Beef Tartare 3/5: The beef tartare was good but the pickle crosnes overpowered the beef tartare as it has a strong pickled taste.

Southwark is the perfect cozy restaurant for a chilly winter night. I gather that there's a backyard as well, so perhaps it's the perfect restaurant for a temperate summer night, too. Good for all seasons! I put Southwark on my Philly list (I'm from Philly but live in NYC) ages ago and I finally made in here with the family during my last visit home. We had a really enjoyable dinner here, everything we tried was solid at the very least, with a few standouts. Overall, Southwark is a versatile spot, great for a refined but unpretentious meal. We came here at 8 on a Saturday night as a party of six. The decor is pretty minimal yet it feels very welcoming and homey, particularly in the back room, which feels as if it could have once been somebody's dining room, with cute little paintings of flora and fauna adorning the walls. After a weekend with family I was eager to find the drink menu, which was one of the many aspects of Southwark that attracted me initially. The cocktail menu is pretty varied, featuring an impressive variety of liquors and flavors profiles. I first got the The Lonely Hunter (Gin, Vermouth Blanc, Eden's Herbal Liqueur), as it was the closest thing to a martini I could see on the speciality cocktail list. It definitely was not giving martini as it turns out, mainly because of the herbal liqueur, which was really lovely and aromatic, it just made the drink a bit sweeter than a martini which is why I am making a point of differentiating it. A great drink to start with. I then got the Shadowboxer (Templeton Rye, Apple Brandy, Amari, Sweet Vermouth), which is an Old Fashioned variation. I was between that and the House of Jealous Lovers (Bourbon, Calvados, Sherry, Cocchi di Torino, Maraschino), a Manhattan variation, which someone else in our party got, and I much preferred that. Mine may have just been a bit watered down. Food-wise, I split everything with my partner to get a larger sampling of the menu. The menu has lots of good options, kind of has farm-to-table vibes and features a ton of seasonal produce which I always appreciate and enjoy. Eats, below: Local Yellowfin Tuna Crudo w/ Napa Cabbage Slaw, Patio Chilis, Sunchoke Miso Vinaigrette, Sunflower Seed Crumble: A Really fresh and delicious preparation. All of the accouterments were thoughtful and complemented one another well. I'll always be ordering a crudo or tartare when I see it on the menu and it's nice to get one that features elements other than a sauce or emulsion. Endives & Beet Salad w/ Roasted Concord Grapes, Pumpkin Seed Purée, Granola, Ginger Vinaigrette: A- Solid salad with great winter veggies. Not an A because the vinegar notes of the dressing, while not necessarily bad, were a bit overpowering. All of the elements were there for a great salad, the balance was just a bit off. Still enjoyable and we didn't regret ordering it. Keiser's Pheasantry Duck w/ Confit Sweet Potatoes & Purée, Local Brussels Sprouts, Fig Leaf Jus: A- Lots of fun stuff going on here - I actually enjoyed the confit more than the duck itself, which was cooked medium instead of medium rare, the latter of which I prefer. Still, duck is one of my favorite things to see on the menu, especially in the colder months, and the flavors were everything you'd want in a duck preparation - some sweetness, some earthiness, some saltiness, rich but not heavy. And it was all beautifully presented. NJ Tilefish w/ Cauliflower & Lemon Purée, Charred Fioretto Cauliflower, Shellfish Jus, Wilted Greens, Leeks: A The most memorable dish of the night, loved by everyone at the table who ordered it. The fish itself was cooked perfect, smooth and buttery which was enhanced by the shellfish jus as well as the puree it sat atop of. Delicate yet hearty. Really warming and satisfying, a great plate to end the night on.

It has been a while since I was truly surprised by a restaurant and this was a meal I did not see coming. From the outside, it's a pretty unassuming spot from the outside, sitting next to the sister restaurant Ambra. Admittedly, we would love to try Ambra but the pricepoint for the tasting menu is a bit intimidating so we may ultimately not. When you walk in, it's easy not to realize how big the place actually is. We were seated at a huge table in the back just inside the outdoor seating, which also would have been a nice option. We were not expecting the complimentary amuse-bouch, so that was a nice touch. We started with the warm breads, which came with a fascinating ricotta spread. Next was the whipped pork confit which at first I thought may be a skosh salty but in the end was reminiscent of a nice spreadable pate (that they were nice enough to give us extra bread for). The salad with trout and chili breadcrumbs also started off on the saltier side, but once you mix things together it ends up very well balanced and quite nice. For mains, we went with the lamb shoulder (my favorite of the two) and the tilefish-the latter was the recommendation of the waitress and we were so thankful it was as we probably wouldn't have chosen it but really enjoyed it. The real gem of the experience, however, was the service. It's such a homey vibe and not only was the food quick, but the servers were so delightful at every turn. They even folded our napkins every time once of us stood up, which I hadn't seen at many other non-course restaurants. Truly made for a lovely meal.

What an awesome dinner. Southwark had been on the list for a while and we were finally able to go. Perfect night to dig out back in the courtyard. Cocktails are great and clever. Wine list is small but solid and appropriate for the menu. The beef tartare toast appetizer was great, but the grated horseradish was a little too overpowering to appreciate the tartare. The duck was PERFECT. I say that rarely and it was perfect. Enough fat to want to eat the crisp. Little enough that fat wasn't your entire bite. Perfectly cooked. The chive mezze rigatoni was in a fantastic yet simple sauce, you'd want to drink it. The double cheeseburger was solid but the fries really stole the show. Ended the night with the corn soufflé cake which is both the weirdest and most delicious combination of flavors. So impressed with the meal. Can't wait to come back.

Vibes: intimate, subtle, familiar, classy casual; bring a date or a few friends Tasting notes: - Stop Flying in the House: green tea declares itself first on the sip, just sweet enough; strong but easy to drink - Lonza: thinly sliced, smoky and buttery; great paired with a swipe of the flavorful mustard and a bite of the slightly vinegary pickled sprouts and potatoes; lovely char and thickness to the bread - Duck breast: amazingly crispy skin wrapped around each indulgently tender slice; meatballs bite-sized; shredded radish perfect for picking up the umami-rich brown sauce - Double cheeseburger and fries: on the saltier side because of the blue cheese; excellent char to the patties and ratio of the bun to contents; enjoyed dipping the crispy, skin-on fries of various thickness in the aioli Other thoughts: - Loved the homemade hot sauces (husk cherry jalapeño and peach habanero) on the fries, a great tip from a neighboring table - Fast service - Portion sizes on the lighter side Impression: would love to come back for dinner or even just a drink at the bar!

I just want to say I have not had a meal this satisfying and wonderful in a long time. Not only was the food fantastic but it was the above and beyond service!! Our servers name was Tracy and she was just a delight!!!! She was the perfect combination of knowing the menu extensively but got to know us and what we would love!! Her recommendations for food, cocktails and wine were so on point. It is rare to have such an amazing dining experience!! I cannot gush more about the wonderful service and food!!!
