The reviews I read before going to Le Bec Fin seemed to be mixed. I found the food to be fantastic, if the crowd did lean towards the pretentious-bluehair end of the spectrum. If you are lucky enough to go in the end of October-November, you should get the black-truffle risotto with white truffles shave on top. The best thing... more

It's restaurant week and we decided to try Le Bec Fin. Although I will pay for good food, I just haven't decided to pay for Le Bec Fin. So what better way to try it then on a week where my meal is only $35? The food was good. Did it overwhlem me? No, but it was prepared well, it... more

The food is still great, i miss the 12 course meal, but the price was still $$$$. seems more chaotic then elegant. will try someone else from... more

Check your bill!! Le Bec Fin overcharged me $100 on dinner for 4 and did not even apologize., Service at Le Bec Fin has really slipped, We have been going there for 20 years and it has always been one of our very favorite Philadelphia restaurants -- one where we knew we could take guests and we would all have... more
