Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Anthony Bonett

From the OpenTable editors: One of Philadelphai's most unique dining experiences, Moshulu brings diners aboard the deck of a more-than-century-old ship that's been docked on the Delaware for upscale seafood since 1996.

    Wonderful brunch experience! Beautiful surroundings, despite the cloudy and drizzly day. We had the ricotta donuts, lobster bisque, stuffed French toast and shrimp and grits. Everything was delicious! Our only feedback is that aside from the donuts, everything could have been hotter. Great server (Mike) took care of us for my birthday.

    The Easter Brunch Buffet was great; good ambience, excellent service...my only gripe is that a large majority of the food from the buffet was very cold. I'm a breakfast foodie the only that was warm was the seasoned roasted potatos. I had to ask my server to take my entire plate into the kitchen and heat it up. This was my 3rd time attending one of the holiday brunch buffets and I don't think I'll be attending another one. ;-)

    Lovely spot for Easter brunch. The service was attentive (thanks Justin!) and the food was great. It is a little pricey, but not unreasonably so. The ship is nice (old - it's been around a long time) and the drinks were good. The upstairs bar area is great too. I would surely visit again.
