Insatiable

With solid service and a cute corner location in South Philadelphia (just past Graduate Hospital), Insatiable had its ups and downs. Our group sat in a booth toward the back and shared a few appetizers and sides:- French Onion Soup Dumplings (gruyere cheese), which tasted exactly like french onion soup;- Pastrami Egg Rolls (onions, swiss, spicy mustard);- Special Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls--between the two egg roll options, we preferred the pastrami, but wished the pastrami was chopped more finely for easier consumption;- Brussels Sprouts (honey sriracha); and- Fried Jewel Jasmine Rice--loved the freshness of the edamame and spring onions.For the entrees, the Gem Lettuce (grape tomato, onion, olives, dirty-martini dressing) and the Burger (bacon jam, vermont cheddar, "D" sauce, brioche bun, fries) were well received--burger was on temp, though the bacon jam was a little too sweet, but the New England Lobster Roll (yuzu kosho slaw, old bay fries) was noted as being a lil'fishy and the Steak Frites (flat iron, bourbon butter, parmesan herb fries) was under temp (ordered medium rare).

French onion soup dumplings and HH from 4-6pm everyday! Definitely worth it for the happy hour specials. The other dishes we tried (steak frites, hamachi crudo, two specials) were okay. Nothing special. Staff was super nice and welcoming!

Had dinner at Insatiable about a month ago. Their cocktails are apparently good, and they offer $15 caviar bumps. My husband and I sat at one of the high tops. We had a couple of drinks and a nice dinner. We shared the French onion soup dumplings and wild mushrooms puff pastry for our appetizers. For our mains, I had the tuna poke bowl and a side of brussels sprouts, while my husband had the steak frites. Nothing really blew us away. Overall, the food was kind of basic, which I realized when I saw the menu, but it was prepared well and tasted good. And the prices were extremely, extremely affordable. Service was great from start to finish. Our server checked on us several times to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Insatiable is not your regular neighborhood restaurant/bar. The décor is casual chic. It's not rowdy. It's not grimy. The vibes are chill. They've got craft cocktails, and the food is slightly elevated.

Stopped in for a cocktail and decided to get some fries to go with it. The fries were good and the drink was even better. The bartender's customer service was excellent. He made me feel comfortable , was attentive, and had some great stories. He mentioned that they have brunch and I will be back to try it out!

This place is so bad , calling it mediocre would be paying it a compliment . They have the audacity to put a Cocktails neon sign outside to make the worst swill imaginable, the bartender literally told us "I'm a Tito's girl" while we were ordering cocktails , and we were charged $15 each for the pleasure of old fashioneds that were below dive bar standards. It's so unfortunate this is our neighborhood bar, and I cant wait for Darwinism to take over and put this place out of its misery .

Forgot to take any pics! We stopped in last night for a few old fashioneds (yum) and a few appetizers. We shared the pastrami egg rolls and the French Onion soup dumplings. As others have said....the dumplings are out of this world ridiculously good. Tastes just like french onion soup and then you also get some crispy dumplings. How could it get any better!Have been before for a yummy breakfast and will be back soon for a full dinner.

We took a chance and walked in on Valentines night The gracious hostess told us that no tables were available but seats at the bar were. So, that's where we sat. Very glad that we did. The food was delicious! I had a great steak that was cooked perfectly, my companion had a seafood dish that she loved. The restaurant is tiny, cozy, intimate and very clean!Definitely a place we will visit again soon, and highly recommend!

Awesome vibeDelicious food Great wait staff and bartenders Chef Denise does a great job Will keep coming back and bringing family and friends

This is by far my favorite new restaurant in Philly! I went on a date and absolutely loved my experience. the food, drinks, and service were all incredible. I got the "pucker up" cocktail which was so good. The French onion soup dumplings were the best and most creative appetizer I've had in a while. Lobster roll was just perfect! It's been 24 hours since I left and I haven't stopped thinking about the brownie dessert once... need to come back ASAP for brunch!

Went for dinner with a dear friend. It was great to see a new spot in the neighborhood! From start to finish we had great service. We started with the grilled octopus and French onion soup dumplings. Both were great. We had the tuna Buddha bowl, steak frites and shared Brussel sprouts. What a great new addition to the south philly neighborhood. I will definitely be back!
