Lose the attitude...get a new chef – If any restaurant benefits from "location, location, location", it has to be this one. The service and attitude is so BAD that it's clear they're not for want of customers simply because of where they're located. For a spectacular food and wonderful service, try DIMITRI's across the street (though bring your own drinks because it's BYOB). I should know...I live on the same block as both and avoid New Wave at all costs. Instead, the food at New Wave is TERRIBLE (unless you're totally drunk... read more
Decent bar This place used to be great. It's still decent. You can still get a good margarita and the Isabella salad, but that perfect neighborhood bar meets solidly good comfort food is not there anymore.
not what i remember i remember this being a lot more fun then it has been lately. seems to have turned a corner down meat head street. not in a hurry to get back there. staff was nice though, so i have to give them credit for that.
Quiet corner place with great food – New Wave isn't a showy place, but what it lacks in fancy menus and decor, it makes up for in delicious food. The four of us cleared every plate we were brought. They have a great selection of brunch food, pizzas, interesting salads, sandwiches, and other entrees. The sweet potato fries are cinnamon sugar heaven! On a nice day, the outdoor dining is wonderful.
Reliable Neighborhood Hot Spot – New Wave is one of the first bars/restaurants that my husband and I visited while we were househunting in Philly. A year later we've been back many times even though we bought a house in a different neighborhood. In fact, we often head over when we have company in town. New Wave has a decent beer menu and great food. We always walk in and are able to be seated either at the bar or a table without a problem. The Crab Crakes are always a solid choice as are the shoe string sweet potato fries. M... read more
New Wave Cafe We had dinner before a show here and it was pretty good. We ordered off the bar menu because the regular dinner menu was too pricey for our group. They have offer a great varied and inspired menu. Food was great but it was super crowded!
Amazing – I have been to the New Wave about, oh, 60 times in the past year for dinner. It's amazing. The food off of the lunch menu (which is really a dinner menu as well since it is served until 1am) is so good and very affordable. I live right around the corner and have gone to Dmitris only 3 times.
good food not so good service – I heard so many good things about this place so I had to give it a try. I was a bit disappointment. I made reservation for 7:30pm we got there on time. They seat us right by the entrance. It was freezing cold from people opening the door walking in and out. so we moved to the tall table in the bar area. We had to ask for a menu and it took very long time to order and get our food. Server hardly come by. Food was great I will go back to give it another try.
Why wait at Dmitri's? Go eat at New Wave. Save yourself the grief. – Dmitri's was once a Philly staple. Reliable, cheap, reliable, cheap. How much hummus can you eat before being ignored by your server makes you want to throw it at one of the cooks who is ten feet away? The server said she couldn't see us. The place holds 25 people! You didn't see us? The people at New Wave saw us. Quick service, polite, easy-going atomosphere. Delivers without trying. It's a simple place with good burgers and a hearty brew. If you want Gree... read more
