Reserved a table for 7, arrived approximately 15 minutes, and were seated within 30 seconds of walking through the doors. The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, with different age ranges. The staff were polite& courteous
and patrons were well dressed, yet casual. The restaurant filled with smiles and laughter across the room.
Our server Ross was immaculate and attentive, as well as the surrounding staff. They waited on us, without seeming overbearing. The drinks were vibrant and stiff. For starters we went with the roasted pork belly. Perfectly crisp on the outside, sweet and savory. The steak I ordered I wanted medium well, and they did just that. Served with their signature steak sauce, it was the perfect pair.
It was the perfect choice for our evening, Even Ramsey would enjoy.

Excellent steakhouse that dry ages their own meat and has an in-house butcher.
Food here was excellent I did the dry aged New York strip and it was one of the best steaks I had in a while. The mac and cheese and twice baked potato tart was also delicious. No complaints here.
Cornbread and oysters were also good. If you ever stay at the Logan highly also giving Urban Farmer a visit

Are you kidding me, What an amazing brunch! Flavor, portions, style, ambiance, and service. This was one of the better places to come to in Phily for a meal not to miss. The farm to table is true and evident in each meal. When we sat down, our server was very personable, and we asked some questions on the menu.
First, we found out they have their own Butcher on staff, and the English muffins were homemade. Delicious jams and butter for the homemade English muffins. We went with our waiters' brunch suggestions, and they were each amazing! (forgot to photograph) bit trust me on this one. they were delicious!
We went with the Short Rib hash,
the farm vegetable frittata, and the crab omelet, all sizable and delicious!
We could not resist adding the pancakes as they were highly recommended. Wow, were they good and fresh! Cool art around the room and nice relaxing music in the background playing. A mist try in philly.

Overall, I would give Urban Farmers 3 stars. While the restaurant had a nice ambiance and kept our reservation despite our lateness, I found the quality of food and service to be lacking considering the prices charged. It wasn't a terrible experience, but I expected something outstanding when paying $100 per person, especially when we only ordered one cocktail.
Pros:
* The restaurant had a pleasant ambiance; it was comfortable, and the other patrons were nice and enjoying themselves.
* The establishment has a visually appealing interior decor, including beautiful large windows overlooking the greenery outside.
* The corn bread and butter were delicious, leaving a positive impression.
Cons:
* Unfortunately, the steak we ordered, the 1855 NY strip on the bone, was mediocre. We anticipated a tantalizing outer crust and a perfectly cooked medium-rare center, but the dish fell short of expectations. It lacked sizzling presentation, wasn’t flavorful, and wasn't as tender as anticipated, though the steak knives provided were satisfactory.
* The pork belly dish suffered from being overly fatty and overcooked.
* The selection of healthy side options was disappointingly limited. We opted for baby carrots, but they arrived very soft, soaked in butter, and overcooked, lacking the desired freshness and texture.
* The dessert choices were also limited, with a lack of traditional options. Consequently, we decided to skip dessert altogether.
* The service was adequate at best. We had to repeatedly request water before they eventually placed a jug on our table, which was less than attentive.
In conclusion, Urban Farmers offers a mixed dining experience. While the restaurant's ambiance and decor create a pleasant atmosphere, the quality of the food and the limited options for sides and desserts leave room for improvement. Given the steep prices, I had higher expectations for both the food and service. While it wasn't a terrible experience, I would recommend exploring other dining options before considering a return visit.

Pretty good but expensive. They were able to make some accommodations for gluten free and vegan. Johnny had a lot of help and had great suggestions. The fries were very salty. The tomato jam was so delicious though. The light fixtures were very dusty, but we made sure to get a table not underneath them.
What place doesn’t offer ranch, especially when there’s a mixed green salad on the menu? 🤨
The service was nice, but slow. We didn’t receive our drinks until we were halfway into our meal. The lemonade I ordered was not real lemonade or even one from a fountain dispenser it was water and sour mixture from the bar - a total let down.
We waited well over 25 minutes for our food to arrive.. it was warm, but not hot and the fries were caked in salt to the point they were inedible. I had asked for the jam to be put on the side but they completely left it off the plate.
When we made our reservation it asked if we were celebrating an occasion I wrote my wedding anniversary. Nothing was ever said to us, nor was a dessert offered - like as a congratulations or even for us to purchase after the meal in general.
This is a nice looking restaurant with a beautiful vibe and comfortable seating but sadly, it was a miss. I was so excited to try this place but also so disappointed that I’m not sure I’d return. 😔
Edited since I received a response from UF with an email to reach out to them so they can "make it right" ... and as of May 18, 2023 I've yet to hear back from UF.

Warmly greeted and seated in a booth at our request. Comfortable environs with bubbly conversation and lively atmosphere. No pressure to make selections and staff were consistently kind and attentive. Diver scallops became our appetizer and did not disappoint. We enjoyed a cooked to order ribeye with a potato fingerling tart. The peach cobbler was served à la mode and was more than we could finish. This is a must dine here steakhouse whenever in Philadelphia! #LetsGuide
Had brunch here since we were staying at the Logan Hilton. Enjoyed the crab cake omelette with holandaise sauce and marble toast. Hubby had waffle with pecans Both meals were very filling and quite good. Service was excellent.
Can enter either from inside hotel or outside. Reservations recommended since this place is normally busy around dinner.
Nice atmosphere. Great place to have breakfast during a weekend in Philadelphia.
