I said, "WHERE IS MY BREAD!" – Well if you have the stomach of an eighty year old then this is the place for you. I was super excited for my dinner at Pumpkin but now I'm super sick! Not that the food wasn't pretty good, the Pumpkin experience was bland bland bland... The service was numbing and the portions of each dish was nonexisting. A huge white bowl contained my small lil entree that depressed and amused me. Laughter followed shortly after for the measly entrees wouldn't satisfy a three year old. If it wasn't for the v... read more
too much $ for small little pumpkin – I went for dinner last night and felt while the atmosphere is tempting from the street it was not at all what i expected. I felt the PRICES are a bit out of control, there are many established byobs in the area with much higher quality food for almost 7 to 10$ cheaper per plate, like on 20th and spruce, anyway the wait staff had a bit of pretention about them, even though they tried very hard to be relaxed and when your in such a small space all the details matter, this was a large one. ... read more
Great BYO – Pros-The atmosphere is intimate and relaxing (just the right amount of lighting). The size is great because it doesn't get that "roar" of too many people that you get in some BYOs. I am not a big seafood person and there is a lot of seafood on the menu -but I always find something I love on the ever changing menu. The duck dishes are to die for and dessert is a highlight. The waitstaff are very friendly, accomidating and knowledgable. Cons- Not big enough for large parties (over 6). The portions are small and it ... read more
Best BYO in center city – I moved to Center City a year ago and made a conscious effort to eat at every BYO in the area this year. I have to say that Pumpkin is certainly at the top of the class if not at the very top. The menu is fresh, organic and seasonal, and the dishes are always artfully and thoughtfully composed. I have always found the waitstaff courteous and efficient and the friendly chef himself will always visit a table to discuss the food. I don't know what kinds of experiences the less-enthusiastic reviewers on... read more
Not worth the price – We dined at Pumpkin on 6/15/2007, and it was a mixed experience. First of all, it was a lot more expensive than I had anticipated. It is more of a $$$ rating than a $$ rating, as listed on citysearch. Tiny appetizers (2 scallops or 4 snails) were around $11, with main course ranging between $23-$26. Food quality was ok, but definitely not worth the price. My steak was chewy and fatty. Waiter almost spilled wine all over my clothes, and made a joke that I did it myself. Ambience was nice, cozy and relaxi... read more
This Pumpkin will not turn into a carriage and take you to the Ball. – Not really what every told me about or maybe they had a off night but, from start to finish was a car wreck. From waiting for a table to our food order being wrong. I hope next time things will be better, if there is a next time their.
One of the best restaurants in the city – I have gone to pumpkin for my birthday for the last 3 years and it is always amazing. Every time we go we order the entire menu. I have probably had over 60 different dishes that Pumpkin has served and only two of them were less than fantastic. I don't understand the reviews that rip on the food. If you only went once you don't have a good basis to judge and ripping on the number of menu options, price, or lack of vegetarian options is just silly; they only have 26 seats! The sweetbr... read more
Very Good – This is quite a little gem of a restaurant. Reservations are essential, as the place is very small, but not too terribly cramped. The service was quite good and knowledgable. Began with a terrific puff pastry with escargo and pork meatballs that was very tasty. The bass entree was well cooked and flavorful. All in all, highly recommended.
Good Find, typical experience for nice byob – We enjoyed our meal at Pumpkin, although it was a bit cramped as can be expected at a small BYOB in Philly and it was a bit noisy due to a large party seated next to our table. Our appetizers were very good, particularly the foie gras pate which was a very good size with delicious bread. Our entrees were also quite tasty and the salmon was cooked to perfection. The simple apple crisp dessert was also good if not particularly imaginative. We were seated promptly when we arrived an... read more
