   I dined at Helm in March, 2020 and enjoyed the experience. The food was good, service was fantastic, and the restaurant lovely. There was a fairly noisy group of businessmen seated next to us, but both they and staff were kind & apologetic for the noise. I would mostly recommend to those interested in local farm-to-table fare skewing to the root vegetable side of things.

   The meal was stunningly good. Deep flavor in every bite across the six dishes shared by my guests and me. Will come back soon.

   Certain menu items were delicious and executed very well others not so much. Lamb too tough to eat. When server asked at the end of the meal we nicely mentioned that the lamb was very tough, it had to be obvious as we didn’t eat even a 1/4 of the dish. She just said “oh really, it’s normally very tender”. That was it, no offer to recook or anything...just oh, not normally like that. So many choices in Philly. We still had a nice time but skipped dessert and went to another place for dessert and coffee.

   Parking was very difficult. Started the experience on a negative note after 20 minutes of circling the neighborhood for a spot. Once in the restaurant, food and service were great, though. Very nice atmosphere. Really enjoyed the meal. All four of us thought it was great. Excellent flavors. Wonderful sauces. Decent portions. Great desserts. Loved the simple menu. BYOB was a real plus, too. Unfortunately noise level is high. Amazingly high and at times annoying for such a small place. Common problem in Philadelphia, in our experience, though. Would visit again. Got high praise from other friends, which is why we chose it initially. They took an Uber there so did not experience the parking issue. Wish we considered that!

   Abigale was superior. Made the entire evening perfect. From the first impressions to the main course, everything including the staff was wonderful.

   Food was very good and inventive. We tried all of the starters and everything tasted good. The only negative was that they seemed to all taste similar to each other.

   Without a doubt one of the best restaurants I've been to in Philadelphia. Service was fantastic, food was incredible, atmosphere was phenomenal. I will definitely be back and I'm telling everyone I know to check it out.

    Probably one of my favorite restaurants in the city! Love the cozy ambiance and the food is incredible. Also love that it’s a BYOB and the service is always great as well.
