don't believe the hype – I was really excited to try Pumpkin after all the hype I read about in Philadelphia magazine. The decor was really cute but since it was small, it got quite noisy. The male waiter was super nice and accomidating, the woman waitress was eh. I went with my husband and another couple, we found the menu to be quite small and lacking choices. Both couples shared the prawn watermelon salad, which was mediocre but nothing special. The men got steak which they both really liked but the other female and I wen... read more
Manifique! – My boyfriend and I went to Pumpkin and had an amazing dining experience. You feel like your in the very small livingroom of your neighbor's house but all the furniture is gone. The service was unbelievably friendly, funny and helpful. They also let us dine without approaching us every 2 minutes and we dined for i think about 3.5 hours! The food was fabulous with an array of different options. The ambience was simple with just wood and accents of orange. Very unpretentious place, patrons and servers! The only dow... read more
Just what this neighborhood needs! – I was hesitant to give Pumpkin a try after all the bad reviews here, but now I'm glad I went to make up my own mind. Each dish that my date and I shared were wonderful, from the grilled romaine salad to a pan-fried salmon piled high with sweet-potato crisps. Oh, and the chocolate pot du creme was out of this world. Service was friendly and prompt--maybe just a tad *too* prompt, but then again we were walk-ins with no reservation, so I won't complain. I will gladly go back again to sample ... read more
Thought I was on MTV's Boiling Point! – When asked if we could have a few more minutes to review the menu, we were told by the waiter that we needed to stop "chatting" and focus on the menu because we were behind schedule. After confirming with my friend that I heard him correctly and that it was not a joke, I decided not to let him ruin our evening. When we asked if the "whole fish" could come filleted, he was quick to point out that "ladies, 'whole fish' means a WHOLE fish". I should have thanked him for my lesson in readi... read more
Overrated – Good food, But ...sparse, low-end atmosphere, brown paper over tablecloths, average service, cash only, cramped tables, hot food served in cold dishes (luke-warming the food instantly), bread served slice at a time, extremely limited menu - just 6 appetizers (3 of which are salads), and only 5 entrees - 3 of which were rabbit, pheasant, quail, no red meat, out of pheasant, sub with chicken, out of veal, sub with pork. And did I mention - Expensive? 2 simple apps, 2 entrees, one dessert - $70 plus tip. They had a ... read more
great food, great service – I find it hard to believe that some people here went to the same restaurant as me. My wife and I went there about a month ago (she's a vegetarian who doesn't like mushrooms) and she simply asked the chef what he could make for her, and they were very accomodating and made one of the better meals she's had in the city (and we dine out 2-3 times a month). My food was excellent as well, and although the space is a bit small (and hence a bit noisy) it wasn't bad on the Tuesday night we went - but I im... read more
You may have to wait til Fall for Pumpkin. – It was a long successful attempt to visit Pumpkin. It takes a whole day to make a reservation. Thats just the beginning once you do make it to a table. The staff and especially the hostess is very unfriendly. I get the impression that they think they have the right to have such arrogance and unfriendliness towards the customer since they are getting good reviews. Its almost as she looks down on the customer. The food was good (a bit overpriced for a BYOB and space). The atmosphere... read more
Oh, Please – Obviously, many of the negative reviews here are from the same party, since they all parrot the same comments. I've been to Pumpkin a couple of times now - it's right down the street from me - and it's easily among the best 2-3 BYOBs in the city right now, and manages to somehow combine "comfort food" and "adventurous dining" under a single heading. Our servers were unfailingly polite - when I ordered an unusual dish once, the chef/owner came over with some pointers on how to go about eating it. Brilliant, brill... read more
Horrible! – We just had a horrible experience. The food was tepid and and the service atrocious. Not worth it!. The host staff acted as if they were doing us a favor by letting us eat there-not worth the pompous attitude.
