Good meal

By E K |

Went for late lunch and sat outside on deck. Food was good. Had grilled shrimp tacos with fries. The tacos were loaded with shrimp, great flavor, perfectly cooked fries. Crab cake app was good too. A little pricy but not to outrageous. Only complaint is deck is right next to small playground for kids and it was noisy. Would go back again though.

NYE

By Eristic M |

Wonderful Lunch!

By teacherkathy2015 |

Food was delicious, and service, atmosphere, and location were all perfect. Only negative was the restrooms seriously lacked attention.

Great Lunch at Keatings

By SteveC |

My wife and daughter were visiting Philly and met with a friend for a great lunch at Keatings. It was the perfect atmosphere for catching up over a delicious email. The food and service were both great. We enjoyed a flatbread and grilled shrimp as an appetizer for the table. We were impressed by the size of the shrimp and their freshness. The flat bread was crispy and tasty. There was a kids menu with lots of choices for my daughter. I loved the shrimp tacos which had a spicy sauce and included three tacos. My wife had the Asian noodle salad with Ahi Tuna which was very fresh and generous in portion. The service was fantastic. Our waiter was very attentive and the manager came by to make sure our meal was great. Definitely recommend!

Raafat is AMAZING!

By KentuckyGirl1972 |

Raafat offers the best service in Philadelphia! We walked in for a late breakfast and he quickly seated us and took our drink orders and showed us to the plentiful buffet. The food was beautifully displayed and fresh with a wide variety to choose from. Raafat kept our juice glasses and coffee cups filled and was an absolute delight. Lawrence, the restaurant manager, came by our table to say hello and make sure we were being taken care of. This kind of service and quality is what makes me happy! A+!!!

A quiet dinner overlooking the water

By Jane H |

I had the clam chowder and the Scallops with Risotto. Both were delicious and the service by Androu was superb. Will definitely come back when I’m in town!

Dinner

By Brian T |

Nice atmosphere, I was looking for a quite meal. Food was well prepared and service was friendly and timely. Overall a very good experience.

Best service ever

By S miller |

Although the food was average, it came quickly. My waiter, Fatmir, was outstanding. Among the best service I have ever experienced.

This is why I love Hiltons

By Steve B |

Food was very good, service was quick and pleasant, ambience is high end without being snooty. I had the cheesesteak egg rolls which had a great cheesey dipping sauce. Fish & chips were the right balance of moist without being greasy!

Military Retirement Dinner

By M1359HGsarahe |

We held my husband’s Change of Command / Retirement Dinner tonight in the Admiral’s Quarters event room. Everything was perfect & the server assigned to us (Hassan) was so attentive. There were even fireworks! Everything was so special, from the aircraft carrier & Navy photos decorating the restaurant, to the beautiful centerpieces they allowed us to bring in, to the absolutely delicious food! We chose the buffet with salad, soup, and chef’s selection of desserts. This was a gourmet buffet! The meats and vegetables were cooked perfectly. So thankful for the management, kitchen, and service staff to accommodate us.

Great place

By Crn3 |

Great food and atmosphere Good service by our waiter Ramy. Food is fantastic Good portions Drinks reasonable Would come again

Nice atmosphere, good service, limited menu

By Janyce T |

The bar was great, but the lunch menu was very limited. The atmosphere and service were excellent, our wait staff was exceedingly attentive.

Long John Silvers would be a better choice.

By Donna R |

Service was great but the food was not. We both ordered the Atlantic fish & chips. There was more bread than fish plus the fish just didn’t taste right. The fries were lukewarm. We had just checked in the hotel and the restaurant was easy. Next time, we’ll go to one of the food trucks on the docks.

Delicious

By PrnThea |

We had the shrimp and scallops with squid ink pasta. It was delicious. Our waiter was amazing and the service never disappoints! Love coming here with the family!

Breakfast

By Tom |

They had a solid buffet. We had coffee and Juice and a spread of eggs, potatoes, pancakes and pastries. The staff was very helpful

Fatmir

By Sheena Z |

Fatmir was such a delight! He was so polite and patient with us as he served us for my birthday dinner. Not only was he a great conversationalist, but also the food came out so efficiently and he consistently came to check in with how we were doing to ensure we had a good experience. It was our first time dining here, but we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!

Family Wedding

By Keruby |

Atmosphere,food and server was excellent!! Thank You for taking great care of us. Emad was so welcoming & kind!!

Amazing place with an amazing view

By Cheeto |

Delicious food. Great view and music. Amazing service. Our server was also perfect. Very personable and kind. Highly recommend!

Excelent chowder

By Robert W |

Lovely appetizers with particular emphasis on the Gorgonzola flat bread. My favorite was the chowder. Fatim, our server was extremely attentive and very helpful with my son. Great food.

A pleasant experience

By Guillaume G |

Food was of very good quality and reasonably priced. Fatmir's service was also noteworthy! I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great chowdah!

By Meemz |

The folks here are so nice, Alexa our server was awesome! The chicken gorgonzola flatbread was amazing and the clam chowder was phenomenal. I would highly recommend dining at the hotel if you get in and don’t feel like going out, it will exceed expectations!

Dinner in Philadelphia, PA

By Vy H. |

CARRY OUT REVIEW. Got food to-go while staying at the Hilton—it was Sunday football day so the bar was pretty packed. Finally got a bartender’s attention, placed my order, paid, and came back 20 mins later to grab my food. The food was pretty good—got the Philly Flatbread, Sarah’s Cobb Salad with Grilled Chicken and Penne Ala Vodka.

Fatmir

By Rachel |

Fatmir was an excellent server! Very accommodating and hospitable. He gave us a excellent experience here at Rope and Achor.

Kids, chowder & good drinks

By JGT |

Great place to relax while at Hilton Penns Landing in Philly. Brought the kids down for a quick dinner before bed. We were greeted warmly by the host and then promptly served by Fatmir who took good care of us. Kids portions were not too big but hearty enough to fill up growing 4 and 6 year olds. We had some drinks - frozen margarita machine was out but the classic was just as good. Try the clam chowder. It has some pancetta and a nice generous portion of clams. Great experience. Moreover, found the breakfast just as pleasant. We were staying at the hotel and had breakfast in the morning - kids ate free for the buffet. Fresh and also well-stocked with Starbucks coffee. Friendly team, good vibes.

Bad, Bad and worse

By CDM49 |

The wine is excellent and Joe, our server did a great job, but the food was so disappointing. The Philly Cheesesteak didn’t even resemble those sold by street vendors. The salmon was dry, tasteless and covered in a balsamic sauce that did not enhance anything. So very disappointing as normally Hilton has great restaurants. We were tired and thought the hotel would be a treat instead we left hungry and disappointed. Go somewhere else please!

Excellent service with a view

By Greg |

My girlfriend and I visited this restaurant before New Year's, not knowing what to expect since the restaurant is connected to a hotel. However, we were pleasantly surprised with the excellent service from our friendly waiter Andrew and all the staff. Our dinner (a Cobb salad and a braised beef pasta dish) came out very quick and was well plated and delicious. The view of the waterfront was pleasant, as well, and the staff gave us excellent advice for experiencing the best of Philly.

Good stop!

By Nancy L |

This one is a good stop. Loved the service. James and Jackie were outstanding. Good food and good service. So good we came here three times over the weekend. Only downfall is no good Irish Whiskey. No Jameson’s or Dew. Nice location with a water view. Firecracker Shrimp really good.

We would not go back

By Ian B |

We had dinner at this restaurant and was disappointed. I would not recommend or go back. If you want large portions then this maybe good for you but we would prefer less and quality. We had the firecracker prawn starter and the steak cheese sandwich. Both I would at best rate as average, not sure if the prawns were meant to be hot but were just Luke warm and very overcooked and hard and tasteless. The steak cheese sandwich may be a local specially that I just don’t like so this could be just down to my taste but would not have this myself ever again. We wanted a cocktail but of the four on the menuse the one we wanted was no longer available the rum based drink so we ordered a margarita and a pina collada. The pina colarda machine was broken so was now down to just a single cocktail. When this came just regretted this was not also not available it tasted of soap. In summary I would not recommend or go back. It was not over priced but quality was our disappointment

Fantastic from start to finish

By chris c |

This was our first time eating here. The calamari was enough for four! What a generous portion! I had the crab cakes which were delicious. My husband had the salmon that had a mustard crust that he said was fantastic. Our server Plamen was friendly and attentive. The hostess was super friendly too. I look forward to going again.

Lunch

By Madison B |

The food was so good, and our server, Fatmir, was excellent. We will definitely come back!! Would highly recommend!

Food & Service were just ok

By Brian M |

The restaurant was warm - Granite it was 105 outside, but still warm. We ordered avocado toast - we were given guacamole & Toast, Had to remind them Feta cheese comes on it. I had scallops they wee tasty - My Daughter liked the ravioli, Kids Pizza was big enough for an adult , My WIfe had the burger and it was all just ok. Service wasnt anything to write home about. I feel the waitress should check the order before bringing it over.

James is a good guy

By Ranon A |

Good atmosphere with views of the river and live music. James serves up great drinks with a friendly demeanor.

Amazing service

By bonolo s |

They have a very warm welcome and patient. The service was impeccable and special thanks to Androu who gave us his utmost attention. He made sure our stay was the best.

Excellence

By gloforsure |

Mukul was our waiter this was our second time having him as our waiter and he never disappoints. He was friendly, very attentive, and funny. The gentleman making the omelette hats off too you it was delicious.

Great food and drinks on the Delaware River

By BoardingPass322789 |

I had drinks with friends this evening. The food, drinks, and ambiance were fantastic. Our waiter Fatmir, was attentive and kind. I highly recommend.

Fantastic food, better service!

By Elizabeth |

My mom, my two boys and I stayed at the Hilton for 3 nights. We had breakfast at Rope & Anchor all three mornings, and dinner all three nights. The food was absolutely delicious. There was a wonderful variety of interesting tastes and selections. However, as good as the food was, it was nothing compared to the service. At every meal we were greeted as if we were family. Raafat helped us two of those mornings and was as sweet as could be, making us feel like we were at home. Our next time in Philadelphia we will undoubtedly return to Rope & Anchor.

I’ll be back!

By Rowan W |

Awesome food and draft list. Great getting a taste of the local food! Andrew was able to help guide us through the menu to find the best options to suit our palate.

Great visit after a long travel

By Elizabeth H |

Great visit after a long travel day. Had trouble arriving on time due to taxi issues, and restaurant hostess very accommodating. Fatmir was a great waiter, with good recommendation for wine. The area we ate in was relatively quiet for a hotel restaurant. Would definitely recommend!

NRD Philadelpha Change of Command Dinner April 26, 2019

By Chuck Banks |

Hassan was superb and Victoria made it possible for our team to even hold our event at the restaurant! We had a fabulous time, thank you a million times over. The food was so good!

So understanding and willing to serve me!

By Josie Gonzalez |

Great experience at this restaurant. I’m usually not a picky eater but I didn’t completely enjoy the menu item I chose. When I brought my concern to our waiter, Androu, he was so nice and understanding. I don’t like being a difficult guest and felt poorly about sending back my original order. Amazing experience with our server and the manager Mukul! Would definitely come back!

Fabulous Dinner!

By Adrienne C |

Had an absolutely wonderful dinner! We had a great time ice skating at the River rink and went here afterward for dinner The service was prompt and courteous, the views were amazing and the food was excellent! We loved the dumplings appetizer, truffle fries and wings. The cheesesteak, roast chicken entree and the Cobb salad were exceptional. Thanks to the staff for ending our Christmas outing on such a high note! We will absolutely be back.

Good hotel restaurant

By Joe W |

Food is excellent although gluten free choices are limited. Staff happy to make substitutions to the set menu to cater though. Breakfast buffet also pretty good.

Great service

By Jen |

Food was good and the service from Fatmir was great. Also very nice views, got to watch ships going by which we enjoyed. Daughter loved the cake!

Dinner

By NittanyLion70 |

Came here because I had a voucher from Travelzoo. $59 included, starter, 2 entrees, and two drinks. It was quiet away from the bar with a nice view of the seaport. The price were a tad high fortunately I had the voucher. Service was good.

Nice restaurant with good food

By Liz M |

Great food and excellent service. I got the swordfish and cabernet. It also had great views of the harbor. Definitely recommend

A Little Pricey

By KC Gypsy Explorer |

Stopped in here for a quick lunch and a drink. We were just walking by and thought it looked good. We each ordered a drink and then checked out the menu. Nothing really caught our attention and it seemed really pricey. We ordered a shrimp appetizer. It was a little overcooked but tasted ok. We decided to try lunch elsewhere.

Great experience

By seth m |

very good buffet, very nice staff. Very respectful and kind to us. Food was good and tasty with a great selection. Would recommend for others.

Great service and menu

By Experience460414 |

Andrew did a great job and provided a great overview of the menu options! Would definitely come back!

Nice atmosphere

By Renee S |

Food was good. Sat out on the deck to watch the fireworks. Wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Very nice atmosphere.

Excellent food + Family friendly + Beautiful view + Amazing Service = SUPERB EXPERIENCE!

By Frankie W |

I was blown away by this restaurant. The view was beautiful, the food was delicious and reasonably priced, but it was the service that really resonated with my family. Thank you to Hasan (the best server I have ever had), Ronnie and Andy. Thank you for making my family smile and laugh. You 3 are phenomenal. We will definitely be back.

Date night :::

By Kimberly Z |

The food and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was pleasant . Our server Androus was very courteous and efficient. If you don’t feel like driving to the shore this is the place to go. You won’t be disappointed.

Early Valentines Day dinner

By TaleyaW |

Customer service was excellent. Food and drinks were good. Ambiance was the best. It was a wonderful dining experience. Assistant manager was very attentive and the waiter was extremely nice and helpful during ordering our meals. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and loved ones.

Excellent service

By sully011 |

We popped in for lunch as we were in the area. All I can say is we were so glad we did. The member of staff that seated and served us was an absolute gentleman. He topped up our water and coffee several times and even asked me if I would like a coffee to go. Our son had the burger and fries which he said was delicious and myself and my husband had the grilled cheese with bacon and tomato served with fries and a small bowl of tomato soup. Everything tasted fresh and the soup was especially good.

Best Waitor!

By HMB V |

Raffat was our waitor for breakfast today and lunch yesterday. He is very attentive, polite and respectful. I wish he was everywhere we eat out.

Customer

By Connector262175 |

Fatmir was an excellent waiter. The service was great as was the food. Fatmir was always at the table ready to serve with a smile and a jovial attitude. His ability to put everybody at ease was lovely. He kept all the guests in stitches and his laughter was infectious.

Fatmir

By Toria L |

Great service!! Very polite and accommodating. Consistently checked up on the table to make sure we were enjoying our experience. Also great food! Highly recommend eating at this lovely establishment.

Family Friendly

By Lucky Torres |

My family and I went with our two children for lunch. It was a great experience. Like so many others, my younger son of very particular with what he will eat and the chef was more than happy to make a special meal just to accommodate him. The hospitality was spectacular. All the food was flavourful and delicious. The avocado toast and bang bang tacos were to die for. The only downfall is that the food is so good that you just can’t stop eating! The views were great and we took a nice stroll down Spruce Street Harbor before heading home. This restaurant is by far the best one in the area. If you are in the area I would highly recommend stopping by.

Great Service, wonderful harbor views!

By tinargstr |

Wonderful place and wonderful food! Also it was a great atmosphere! Our waiter, Fatmir, was very attentive! Treated like family! Will be back!

Good food and Great Views!

By VantagePointsForAwe |

Food is good and it is a perfect location...sitting right outside at Penn's Landing. Great people watching with a great view!

Do not eat here. Terrible food.

By Kevin C |

Worst food I have ever experienced. The salad was old wilted lettuce and the cheeseburger was pathetic. The server was young and very inexperienced. Do not eat here - maybe a drink. Only redeeming feature was the view of the River.

First visit

By Travel831057 |

Excellent quality food from sandwiches to entrees. Very clean. Excellent service. My daughter has allergies and my waiter Hasan was very knowledgeable about the kitchen and being allergy friendly. Will come back again.

Night out

By Chrissy |

Had a great dinner! I ordered the herb crusted chicken and my husband got the filet, both were very good. Our waiter Fatmir was very attentive.

60th Birthday

By Gerard Heininger Jr |

My family and I had a wonderful experience celebrating our mother’s 60th Birthday. The manager Alan was very willing to accommodate our large party. Raafat our waitor was very friendly and attentive to our needs. The food and drinks were great as well.

Excellent Food And View

By parrotheadsailor |

We almost didn't go because of some bad reviews. In light of the Covid chaos, we thought we would give Keating's a chance, since we knew the view of the Delaware was great. The menu was somewhat limited, and don't rely on the online one to be the most current. We had seared salmon, fish and chips, a small crab cake, and cheesecake. In all, the food and the experience was top notch. It's not a formal or snooty dining experience, but it checked all the boxes. I might steer away from the crab cake, unless you're a fan. Look at my pics.. Great portions and tast.

Above average food, drinks were ridiculously priced

By John F |

Fish and chips, salads and flat bread appetizer were well prepared. Drinks from the bar were not even 2 mouthfulls. Small glass, ice filled and barely able to tell if alcohol was in the drink. Two drinks apiece was more than both meals combined.

Hilton

By Analise V |

the food was good and so was the service. Fatmir was a great server :) definitely will be coming back

Fantastic Restaurant + Bar!

By Dillon Shah |

We decided to try this restaurant out since we had heard great things and we live nearby. Its in a great location, on the pier/waterfront with a nice view. The atmosphere was great and we really enjoyed the food here, everything was so tasty! The service was great as well, our server was very welcoming and took care of us very well. I would definitely recommend this place to other locals and travelers staying here!

Great selection and ambiance

By Kapenda C |

We dined here with our family and it was a great experience! Our waiter, Fatmir was patient and extremely attentive. He anticipated our needs and offered all-around wonderful service. We'll be back!

Dinner

By Donna H |

Fatmir and Sabrina were wonderful. Food was excellent and location was just as good. Thank you this made our trip even more memorable.

Nice Hotel Restaurant

By Caitie Wallace |

Nice restaurant with great ambiance and views of the water. Food was average but our server, Androu, provided great service. Very good quality restaurant for a hotel lobby. Would be a nice place to grab drinks if we were staying here.

Great food and great service

By Awythe |

The food at rope & anchor was soo amazing couldn't believe it was in our hotel..ate there three nights out of 5...our server Androu was the best..very attentive and nice..will be coming back very soon

Great hotel for meetings or personal

By Sonia S |

Dinner was delicious. This restaurant is in the Hilton Penn Landing Hotel. We were here for a meeting and everyone on the staff was wonderful to work with lots of attention to details. Would highly recommend this hotel for a conference or social Gathering. The staff was fantastic. From the banquet staff to the managers, Hospitality was highest priorities. Special thanks to Jordana, Sarah,Ramy, Craig, Gena and everyone at the hotel for making us the upmost priority during our stay. Will absolutely be back.

DO NOT EAT HERE!

By Cassidy C |

This is the worst restaurant I have ever been to. We made a reservation and they claimed we didn’t have one. After proving we had one, we were seated. My $15 mojito was in a 2 inch size can that you receive on an airplane. Oh and it was basically toothpaste in a bottle. My avocado toast was meant to feed a baby. I had better dinner from the lunch menu in high school. Don’t waste your money everything is overpriced for gross prepackaged food.

Ms

By xyz c |

The food is great and the waiter Fatmir is really nice. Overall I had a very good experience and will come again.

Good food and live music

By Katkev23 |

The food is good and service was good. They have live music on the patio but not a lot of room to sit and have a drink to hear them. We went to the boardwalk and sat on the wall and listened. As for the food the scallops were fresh. But the risotto was ok. Breast of chicken was bland.

Exceptional Experience!!

By Herm3 |

I have eaten at the restaurant several times and have throughly enjoyed the food. But the thing that drives me back is the service given by the staff. I go to the Executive Lounge in the evenings and Dalina always greets me with a warm smile that makes me forget about the hell of a day that I had. She is always very attentive to everyone. She keeps the food stocked and the lounge clean. Which makes it a haven to just go and relax.

Great service and great people

By Debbie J |

Best hotel bar in town. The food was great but the best part was the servers. James felt like we had known him forever and Brittany took care of getting us the perfect spot. Also noticed a lot of local people which always says volumes of how good this place is.

Great Place

By Maaziah B |

Great place! I have been here a couple times with different groups and everyone had positive things to say. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. The salmon is really good and the appetizers were too. The atmosphere was cool as well. All around we had a great time. I will definitely go back, and I would recommend it to friends.

Pre BB&T concert

By Jim K |

Had a very nice meal outdoors on their patio overlooking the Delaware river. Easy walk to the ferry. Nice beverage selection. enjoyed the shrimp tacos. Would highly recommend for a pre concert meal or a nice outdoor meal

Fire the useless manager!

By Giorgio13 |

We ordered 2 cheesesteaks, order of nachos, Sprite and an Angry Orchard. After eating half her French fries, my granddaughter tells me she sees a hair in her fries. At first I can’t see, but she shows me where and sure enough, there’s a black hair folded over (fyi- my hair is silver and right now, my granddaughter’s hair is bright red). I show it to the waitress, said I understand and I would like a refund for the fries. She returns with the $3.00 deducted. Other than this, the waitress and food were great! My problem with it, is that a wait person, who could not possibly be responsible (she was light-haired) should not have had to apologize. THIS WHY YOU HAVE A MANAGER! THAT IS HER JOB WHEN IT INVOLVES SOMETHING OUTSIDE THE WAITSTAFF’S CONTROL!

Breakfast Buffet

By holleyr923 |

Buffet was very well done. Enjoyed our meal. Eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, taters and a good bar of other things.

Thanksgiving Brunch

By Jeniffer B |

Great menu, excellent service and nice view. They accommodated the dessert menu so the boys could have ice-cream. Great o really experience. We’ll definitely be back.

FANTABULOSO!

By Marlita Shamone |

Mr Fatmir specializes in hot chocolate ala the Expresso machine. I could not ask for a better hot beverage! Add to that specialized skill, his warm and hospitable personality and service and you have one of the best dining experiences. Chef Don De'Lorme makes a great salmon plank; just enough crispness on the outside with the most scrumptious and flavorful inside. Perfection! The view of the Delaware River finished off a wonderful dining experience! Thank you gentlemen!

Excellent!

By travelingduoNJ |

Breakfast at the Rope and Anchor is excellent. The food is fresh and high quality. The buffet is always good with a wide variety of choices. The service is consistently wonderful year after year. Our server Raafat is the best! We will be back again!

Love it!

By Demitri G |

Great hotel good people good vibes great manager me and my wife loved it ! Food was great, service!!

Solid Philly Cheesesteak Made to Order

By EricO |

Solid Philly cheesteak and fries. Antwa was a very polite server and accommodated substitutions for some items on the menu. Will definitely return during our stay.

Great food, friendly service

By Ernesto V |

Our server was Joe and he did a perfect job managing his visits to our table as to meet our needs without overwhelming or interrupting conversation. Thank you and food was terrific!

Chillin on a Sunday Afternoon

By M and M |

Such a nice vibe especially when your sitting outside. The atmosphere so pretty and relaxing. They have great appetizers and the food is quite good. You never get rushed. 👍👍 definitely worth trying.

Would recommend

By Jansmack |

Ate breakfast here after staying at the Hilton at Penns Landing. Staff is very friendly and provides great service. Thank you Rony :) Restaurant is clean and has huge windows to look out onto the water. There’s outside seating at well, but was raining for our stay. They offer a breakfast buffet with an omelet station or a menu. Food hit the spot. Would come here again.

Fantastic crab cakes

By drummer7 |

I had the Old Bay Crab Cakes, and Firecracker Shrimp. Delicious crab cakes, absolutely the best! Shrimp was seasoned perfectly, too!

Wonderful Night

By Danirusan |

Lawrence and Alexa were absolutely wonderful and professional. We showed 30 minutes before closing and they still were happy to serve us. The Flatbread appetiser is a definite must. Great food, great ambiance, wonderful service, and beautiful view of the river. Very Charming.

Great food, wonderful service!

By adrc13 |

My family and I had a wonderful time over breakfast. While the buffet was great and had plenty of options, what made this meal special was our server, Emad. He was very attentive and warm. And the special attention he gave to our children was especially thoughtful and kind. I wish there were more servers like Emad. He made what would normally be a routine breakfast very special.

10/10

By Behtash B |

Wonderful restaurant. Excellent food. Water front views. Spacious and comfortable.All staff are friendly and attendant. Antwan in particular was very friendly and kind, especially to our toddler!!

Served courtesy and a smile

By Verniece R |

Rafael provided excellent service. He checked on us regularly and seemed eager to meet all our needs. Traveling to a family event, it was a memorable experience. The setting was really nice. The view was spectacular.

Yummy breakfast; good for kids.

By Laura G |

Very tasty breakfast buffet. We visited as guests of the hotel. The eggs were delicious with a great view. Service was wonderful.

Great restaurant. I'll be back.

By JJS6 |

Terrific restaurant. Lovely ambience. Delightful atmosphere. Beautiful harbor view. Superb menu; especially liked the sal on and the fish and chips. Amazing starters too. Great service. My server was Angela Predeoux who was great. Ate there twice and will be back again. And again.

The Absolute Big Restaurant at Penn’s Landing

By Val |

I have been to this restaurant twice now, and I just love the atmosphere and staff. The food is fresh and delicious. It is about time you eat great food, fresh, and good price. Great Place to fellowship and relax !!!

Great experience and server

By Jacqueline O |

The dinner and service were excellent. Husband got a Philly cheese steak and I got the crab cake dinner. Both were just as delicious! Amtwa is an attentive and personable server and host. He is very responsive, professional and friendly!

Child friendly and great soup

By Tania L |

Try the clam chowder, it's really good!! We brought our 1 yr old and everyone was so accommodating. Tea service is great lots of honey and hot water. I definitely recommend it if you are staying at the hotel or just walking by. The gorgonzola flat bread is super yummy too.

Lunch

By Donmat42 |

The food was very good. Everything was tasty and fresh. But, the real star of the show here is the staff. I was seated by Sabrina Moore EL. She was friendly, accommodating and just plain nice!!! She helped me with both restaurant and neighborhood questions that I had. I will be coming back because of her. Thank you Sabrina.

Great experience

By Alex B |

Went here with my sister and we both had a blast! Such a great place to spend ur easter brunch along the water side. Food was great and would definitly come back!

Music Man Dave

By SmithDrKat |

We enjoyed every evening with Dave and his crew. He had a great selection of songs and each of the guys who played with him were really good. Doc also works in the hotel so we got to talk to him a bit as well. He took requests and many folks walking the sidewalk would join in and applaud. Great little spot.

Love this place

By Susan F |

This is my second stay at the Hilton Pena’s Landing and I always look forward to a meal in the restaurant. The view is amazing, the crab cakes are to die for, and Androu was an excellent server.

Angela has been absolutely

By Gloria B |

Angela has been absolutely the best server ever!!! She got immediately all our needs and she has been very professional and kind. Thank you Angela!!!!

Maddie was excellent!

By Dana P Stella |

I’ve dined at Keatings Rope & Anchor restaurant in the past, but was not impressed with anything, especially the service. It was not a place I considered returning to. Since I was in Philadelphia with a friend for the day, I figured I would give it another shot and she may enjoy it. At first I thought to myself that I made a mistake by choosing to go there again. The server that greeted us didn’t come back to our table at all, although I ordered a bottle of water. About 15 minutes later, another server named Maddie come over and and said she would be taking care of us. It was obvious that the place was busy and everyone was running around, yet she still took the time to make us feel important by being friendly, courteous and attentive. She was even helping people around her, cleaning tables, and talking to other guests. Maddie, this review is for you! You are amazing at what you do and certainly know how to give more than exceptional service!!! We will definitely be back to see you.

Family dinner

By DayTrip781251 |

Thanks for a wonderful evening, food was very good. Soup hit the spot for a surprisingly cold night.

Treated like family to amazingly delicious food!

By Frankie W |

My family and I have been here many times and each time we leave with bigger smiles and fuller bellies than the last. Our waiter (Raafan) and the rest of the staff treat us like family. It’s not easy with a 4 year old and a 19 month old to sit and enjoy oneself. That is not the case here. My kids love the food, the view and the staff! We have had dinner and breakfast here and both were experiences that made our trips memorable. The food is always delicious and nice servings! We love it here and we will always come back whenever we are in town! Thank you!

Nice experience

By Alanna |

It was a nice experience eating at this restaurant. We enjoyed the crab cake, salmon, and the filet. Our server Androu was excellent and provided really good service.

Good quality food and service

I was in town for a conference, checked in late but luckily Keating’s Rope & Anchor was still open for full service. I ordered the Cobb salad at my waitress Christina’s recommendation. It was delicious and also a generous portion. Christina was attentive to my needs and clearly took pride in her job and made sure to be equally attentive to all her tables. As luck would have it, I went back the second night and Christina was my waitress again. This time I had the NY Strip Steak. This dish was delicious and also very generous. Christina was just as attentive and remembered me from the first night. She made the experience eventful.

Enjoyed

I enjoyed visiting Anchor & Rope restaurant during my stay at Hilton at Penn Landing in Philadelphia. Food was very well prepared and the waiter Fatmir provided excellent service - prompt and professional. Would come again!

Breakfast

By Emad G |

Good food amazing staff and nice view Restaurant was busy my server Emad have good take care of me thank You

Delicious restaurant, great service and beautiful setting

By kcagle |

We had a fantastic lunch at Keating’s on a Friday afternoon. The appetizer flat bread and shrimp were really yummy and our drinks were great. I had the ahi tuna salad as my main course and it was fresh and cooked perfectly. My daughter loved her pizza and the burgers looked great too! The service was wonderful and everyone was very accommodating. The restaurant is in the beautiful Hilton at Penn’s Landing and the restaurant over looks the water. It was absolutely the perfect way to enjoy a leisurely lunch on a beautiful afternoon!

Great food. Friendly service. Awesome view!

By Tiffany H |

Our waiter Fatmir was friendly and attentive. The Goat Cheese Fritters are delicious and the Red Sangria is wonderful! Loved the relaxed atmosphere of outside dining with an amazing river view!

Great service and ambience

By RPatel |

Had a great time catching up with old friends here. Nothing fancy or pretenious, but the food and service is great. Emad is a great waiter and made sure we enjoyed our time with jokes and banter.

Service was A+

By Saptz2004 |

The view was wonderful. Our server was very attentive. I didn't have to wait for anything or ask for anything. He was already on it. The food was delicious. I highly recommend.

By Shamrock6373 |

I was impressed with how good the food was at this hotel bar/restaurant. The staff was very pleasant and courteous and always smiling. If I’m back in Philadelphia I’d come here.

Honeymoon done right!

By Mia B |

Our experience with this hotel was very positive overall, from the doorman to the front desk, but the Raafat from the restaurant just exceeded all our expectations. He was extremely accommodating and friendly. Food was excellent as well! Thank you Raafat and team for making our honeymoon even more special! Will be coming back here in years to come.

Great food and great service!

By Michelle L |

The fried calamari was the best we have ever tried by far. Everything came out in a timely fashion and was high quality. Our server Androu was excellent as well.

Excellent Food, Service, and View

By Jodie L |

My husband and I came for date night, and we sat right next to the windows facing the waterfront. The view was exceptional, and the service was very quick. All of the staff was super kind and friendly. I had a lovely filet that was great!

Outstanding Food and Service, A place you must dine-in!

By Rufus M |

A great location in the Hilton Penn’s Landing hotel. The service in this restaurant is phenomenal! The staff and food is something everyone should experience. Particularly for the Thanksgiving brunch that was on the menu that we partook in. Hosts Sabrina and Sade are excellent hosts who greet you at the entrance way were simply the best in handling our reservation to seating overlooking the Delaware waterway. Chef Mr. T was awesome with the wide variety of food that was provided from traditional Thanksgiving meals to seafood and breakfast meals. Emad was my host who served my family and I. He is an exceptional person that took care of our my food requests. Last but not least, was Makenzie Welch, who periodically check on us to ensure we were ok with our dining accommodations. Just simply the best! I thank all of you for a great Thanksgiving Day Meal and I highly recommend anyone to dine at the Keating’s Rope and Anchor Bar and Kitchen. You will not be disappointed!

Great service!

By SeeJaneRun |

Such a helpful staff! Everyone is so friendly and the food is good. Good cocktail menu and good view. Great for guests staying in the hotel.

Shocking over priced

By Nick G |

For very average food (& wine) this establishment is HUGELY overpriced. There’s nothing wrong with the food, but there’s certainly nothing great about it either. High dollar pricing for (at best) average food - disappointing!

Great Service

By JS atl |

Great service and quick. Excellent waitress, Alexa. American food well prepared and came out hot. 👍👍

Always a good time, great river views, very friendly staff

By RichC250 |

What a great hotel property to stay at and the restaurant has proven to be a steady winner. If the river park is open save room for dessert right outside the front door. The staff is super friendly, remember what you like to have, and add a level of comfort. Live music often and within walking distance to Old City.

Late lunch

By Andres72423 |

The restaurant is in a really attractive location-on the water. As you walk in you are really impressed with the decor and all the natural light coming in from the huge windows. The service is quick and attentive. For starters I had the Clam Chowder which was exceptional. It was thick and flavorful. I loved it, it would have been perfect if they served it with oyster crackers but I guess you can't have it all. Next we had the calamari and the Margherita flat bread. Unfortunately the calamari and flatbread was a bit of a letdown. Not a fan of the calamari, the pieces were tiny, practically got loss in my mouth. Not a fan of the hot peepers either. The marinara sauce was very bland. I ended up having to put salt and crushed peppers just to give it some flavor. The flatbread was also very underwhelming. I guess I should hav stopped right after the Clam Chowder.

Good times with the wife!

By Carlos Esteva |

We had such a great time eating and spending time together. The manager Alan was really down to earth and attentive. The establishment was very clean and professional! We will definitely get back there and definitely visit the restaurant! Thanks for a good time .

Visiting Philly

By Maddie |

We had a very good good experience. Our server Androu picked out our dishes. He was an excellent server and went above and beyond. We will defiantly be coming back to this restaurant.

Awesome outdoor lunch on the waterfront

By Apurva |

Great place to have lunch outdoors on the waterfront. Great drinks, great food and awesome service. Ask for Emad!

When visiting Penns Landing we always stop in for breakfast. The service and food are very good. Ramy did a great job!!!

Ok good. Nice view

By T D |

Food was ok. Dinner had a very limited menu-I assume due to covid etc. Waitstaff seemed overstretched but it had a nice view of the water.

First time

By DGTrippin |

Ate here for the first time and enjoyed everything. Angela has a great and pleasant personality. I cant wait to come back and sit outside in the summer.

hotel restaurant - need I say more?

By Spain doggy |

food was average to below average - service was good. Just lacking taste and attention to detail. And for what we ordered, it took way too long to get to our table. The waiter was attentive - the kitchen was just slow....and it was not busy at all

Fatmir was an excellent server!

By Amanda H |

My girlfriend and I had a great dinner with an excellent view for our 2 year marriage anniversary. Our server Fatmire was the cherry on top!!

Great place for food

By Brittany D |

Stumbled upon this nice spot in the Hilton on S Columbus. The atmosphere was amazing, even for my 2 young children. Great kids menu, especially for my children who are usually picky. Our server Fatmir was amazing, always made sure our food was what we wanted, and kept our drinks full. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anybody. 5 stars.

Enjoying the moment!

By Marcus & Inesa |

Outstanding service! Clean, food was delicious. And our server Alexa was so delightful to us. A Great place to dine! And Phil the manager, was so accommodating with our seating preference. Thank You so much, Keating's Rope & Anchor! From Us to You! Marcus & Inesa!

Awesome Place!!

By GokaP |

This was our first time at this restaurant and we were blown away with the location , ambience, food and above all the service we received from our server. Unfortunately I cannot recall his name. Will definately return.

Casual Dockside Dining with Flavorful Pasta and Great Service at Keating's Rope and Anchor in Philly

By dennisE1964 |

Keating's Rope and Anchor Bar + Kitchen offers a relaxed, dockside vibe in the heart of Philadelphia. The ambiance was casual, and the cleanliness was spot on. Service was friendly and prompt—no wait for seating and our food arrived in just 10 minutes. I ordered the Torchetti with grilled chicken. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was rich and flavorful, but the grilled chicken was a bit dry. My wife opted for the spinach and mushroom omelet of the day, which she loved. It was light, just what she wanted, and the French fries were a hit too. Overall, a solid meal with great service, but I'd skip the chicken next time.

Oh My Gosh So Good!!!!

By Jeff G |

I travel all over & the filet steak was so tender & flavorful!!! Great place for dinner!!!! I will be back!!!!

Delicious!

By laurenmobrien24 |

My husband and I came here using the travel zoo voucher for an appetizer, any two drinks, and any two entrees. They also threw in a free dessert! The food was amazing! Lobster ravioli was to die for. They also had amazing cocktails. Great experience!

Excellent cheesesteaks!

By JudgeT |

Very authentic and tasty Philadelphia cheesesteaks (I am a Philly native). Service was good. Thank you Fatmir!

Great Service!

By Matt C |

Androu was great! He provided excellent service and great food. I highly recommend the creme brûlée Will be back again!

Awesome Service

By Moraguez_Y |

Such a wonderful experience starting from the front desk and all the way to the restaurant. Front desk agent(Stevie) acknowledged me right away, very friendly, greeted me with a warm smile, his focus remained on me at all times and the check in process was quick. At the restaurant I was quickly welcomed by the host and was seated right away. Androu, my server, was amazing ! He greeted me with a smile and introduced himself. I asked for his suggestion around a specific dish and he gave his honest feedback. I ordered an appetizer and after Androu had already put in the order I realized that it was spicy. I then explained to Androu that I didn't realized that the appetizer was spicy. Androu told me right away that it was ok to not worry. He was very attentive at all times and made my experience that much better. It's customer experience like the one that I received today that makes the difference and makes you want to keep coming back.

Mr

By Natalie U |

Very friendly polite and courteous quick and accurate service. Went here three times now and each the service and food have been excellent.

Welcome Party

By maureenh20 |

All staff were accommodating to the needs of our out of town wedding guests the night before our son's wedding. It was a great atmosphere to gather.

Lunch

By Vacationer315694 |

Food is delicious and the service is excellent, especially Raafat. The view is fantastic and the restaurant is decorated beautifully.

Amazing!

By Adriana M |

We had Hasam for a server and he was fantastic! The seafood was fresh and flavorful and the cheese board was much larger than I thought it was going to be. We are staying at the hotel and will probably be back!

KEATINGS ROPE & ANCHOR A MUST VISIT!

By Judy McKinney |

Ask for Kasie. Great service. Food was really amazing. Stayed at Hilton 4th of July. Restaurant at hotel. Indoor & outdoor seating. Will def be back!!!

So very good

By Michelle B |

Lovely view on a sunny Tuesday evening. Excellent service. Our waiter, Hasan, was attentive while allowing us plenty of time to catch up with family from out of town. Great evening

Great Service, Awesome Bartender Sarah! Food was awesome!

By Mark M |

Sarah was a great bartender, her service was top notch and the food was great! I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area visiting or local looking for a great spot to go. Hopefully Sarah is your bartender.

Always a good choice.

By Nancy L |

Always a good choice. Love Scott at the bar. Funny and great service. We actually had great service from all. The cheesesteak was one of the best I had. They went out of their way to fix something for me not on menu. Cucumbers and cheese for a diet I am on. The only draw back was the breakfast buffet. If was ok and they auto add the 20 percent gratuity. I am a great tipper but don’t like it forced for a buffet.

Great evening!

By FillyinPhilly |

Awesome service by Andru! Wonderful evening! Great meal and the view cannot be beat! Excellent spot to people watch, enjoy sunsets, water views and simply enjoy the night air.

Eating

By David R |

Brilliant- Served by Fatmir Could not do enough for us Thankyou Superb meal and drink Great view of river as well

Nice Night Out

By teebone53 |

We had a nice meal in a comfortable physical space. They also have outside seating right on the marina which would have been nice but it was too cold. The waiter was very helpful and friendly, though they seemed a bit understaffed. The meal was fairly average , but the empanata appetizer was very good. Our only real complaint was that the backgrounf=d music was more suited for a bar than for a dining room.

Great location and Large Rooms

By Loren |

Very friendly staff and Rope & Anchor Bar & Kitchen has a lot of variety on menu. Good breakfast buffet with omelette station. Rooms are large and accommodating.

Hosted a bridal shower here and did not disappoint!

By Marie P |

We hosted a shower for 30 guests in the Admiral's Quarter's private room. The setting was beautiful, the staff was very courteous and attentive and all the guests complemented the food. The price was very reasonable for such a large event and well worth it! We had a perfect afternoon, there are no complaints here!

By Gaynell C |

Need a space to work and eat lunch at the same time. Mark spoke to me immediately and made me feel welcome. He walked me over to the restaurant and we had a great conversation and he reminded of how much time I had left before I needed to get started. I needed that. 😊 The wonderful young lady at the resturants Sabrina helped me choose my lunch and then came to check on me. Rami my server was so sweet and so conscious of my needs. Love that. 🥰I was also greeted by the resturant manager Laurence whose conversation enlightened me about the city and this amazing restaurant. Customer service experience here is above and beyond. 😋😋😍

Great experience

By Skymiles27 |

The food was delicious the service was awesome. Once we got seated we were immediately greeting by Laurence the general manager who was very insightful. Our waiter Fatmir was very attentive & fast the service was an overall 10...and the view is so beautiful
