Patchwork

The Patchwork Restaurant is a lobby restaurant in the Hyatt Centric Hotel and was a fine restaurant for several dinners. The hotel restaurant often was not busy during the weeknights. When an event was occurring it seemed like people popped in for a drink before going out or grabbing a drink after returning. The Patchwork Restaurant is open and airy. It isn't a place for clandestine conversations but a good venue for gatherings among friends. The bar was nice and spacious. It was welcoming. The food was solid. The cacio e pepe was my favorite - it was simple, fresh, and tasty without being too heavy. The burger was good, and enjoyable. The roasted chicken was the most disappointing. It was dry and not particularly great. The staff were wonderful. They were engaging conversationalists. Every night at the bar I found good conversation and loved the helpful tips.

I am a Hyatt gal so I have been to Patchwork several times. It's a good spot for a drink to decompress after a meeting. The bartenders are always nice and helpful, outlining tourist attractions around town. The breakfast buffet is amazing. It's abundance of options over indulges me every time. They have tuna salad on their breakfast buffet which is surprising and odd but I'm into it. The chef of this spot shows growth which I love. Hospitality HQ owns this restaurant. Chef Akhtaraa Nawab, owner of both Alta Calidad in New York (Michelin) and Otra Vez in New Orleans and Co-CEO of Hospitality HQ (HHQ), shows off his 'less-is-more' cooking style at this spot too. He's been at NYC's Gramercy Tavern, Craftbar, Craft, and has been in the kitchen at Tom Colicchio's restaurants for over 10 years.The decor I would call mid century modern. I always try to get someone at the bar to climb the ladder but they never do. Something about consequences.

Delicious food! I really didn't have high expectations for a hotel restaurant with a small-ish menu, but both meals I had here were great. I was in town for work and had very limited time to grab my meals, so the hotel bar it was. The gnocchi for dinner were so soft and flavorful, and both sauces really complimented the dish. It doesn't look like much, but it was filling! The local beer was recommended by the bartender and was fresh and crisp. I did not enjoy the Caesar salad--whole leaves of lettuce I had to cut, too much dressing, and sliced anchovies hidden in the tons of dressing. The next morning for breakfast, the pancakes were fluffy and deliciously paired with some lemon curd--the perfect not-too-sweet combo. They also have a breakfast buffet for those who want lots of variety.

The Hyatt Centric is a stellar place to stay in Philadelphia, but Patchwork, the associated restaurant, wasn't the biggest highlight of the trip. I wanted to grab a quick breakfast before heading over to a conference for the day so came down from the hotel room a while after opening. There were one or two dining tables, but I stood waiting at the stand to be seated for over 5 minutes. Two waiters walked up to the bar and hung out chatting but nobody checked to see if I wanted to be seated or went to check in on why there was no hostess at the stand. Eventually, I went up to the bar and asked if I could sit down at one of the empty tables and was told sure. Five minutes later, no waiter at the table, so I went to the bar again where two workers remained talking and asked for the eggs benedict, which eventually was brought out, lukewarm.Overall, not great service or food for an otherwise great hotel. I was in town for a week but ended up choosing to go elsewhere for breakfast for the rest of the trip.

TLDR:- aesthetics: 5/5 - food: 3/5 - service: 2.5/5 - price: 2/5my boyfriend and I decided to try Patchwork on Sunday morning for breakfast/brunch after looking at their instagram and website menu, however, i don't think we'd come back. we were super excited to try their brunch items (offered on the weekends only), but we were given breakfast menus. when we asked about the brunch we were given a different menu but it wasn't the same as the one posted online (we really wanted to try the duck & waffles and the everything philly muffin). we ended up getting the chicken and waffles ($24) and the eggs benedict ($18). nothing life changing and kinda overpriced. i also asked for home fries ($3) but didn't get them but also wasn't charged. in terms of service, our server was friendly but not super present. i meant to ask her about the home fries that i ordered and never got, but by the time she came to see us, my food was done and i didn't want to wait around for it. we also waited a bit for our bill (it did get busier as the morning went on).aesthetically, the place is stunning. it has a modern yet rustic/cozy feel. there's also tons of seating, both at the bar and for regular dining.

Located inside the Hyatt Centric, my friend and I came here for breakfast since we were staying at the hotel and she was leaving early in the morning to go home. Patchwork is located in the lobby of the hotel. It is located opposite to the check in desk and elevators so it doesn't quite feel like a hotel lobby. Food:We tried the following items: Breakfast Tacos - good, but I wish there was more hot sauce available Waffle - standard waffle, cannot go wrong Avocado Toast - I enjoyed this, but I think it could have had a little more seasoning. It was a good size though. For drinks, we also got a latte, mimosa & a Bloody Mary. Each drink was done as expected and would order again. Service:Service was pretty quick and friendly. The quick service was appreciated as I didn't want my friend to miss her bus home. TL;DR - not a bad hotel restaurant for breakfast.

Food is highly overpriced and not worth it. I ordered steak and fries but the steak was too rare. I requested to have it cooked longer and they did. But it was only medium rare and I asked for well done! And We waited a long time for our food!

Patchwork restaurant is located inside the Hotel's lobby. The hotel is OUTSTANDING. However, the restaurant server was not great by any means at all - he was slow in service, not welcoming, did not let us know their was a Happy Hour currently going on + did not even offer menus for drinks + dining. I would say it took me about 20 mins for to realize he was not going to offer us menus nor greet us. Server was at the bar + clearly saw us because I specifically made eye contact with him...We sat right across him; he was at the bar and we were facing the bar. Anyway, after not receiving menus or an acknowledgement I realized "I would have to call him over to place an order" He did not seem annoying when I spoke to him however he seem like he was in a rush even though during the time I ordered no one was there + he was extremely dismissive he was not patient in any way or willing to offer suggestions. Kindly keep in mind, at the moment when we arrived we were the only ones there ready to eat + dine. I would say about 30 mins after is finally when people started to trickle in. Food was super tasty + fresh ! Food + hotel made up for his (server at restaurant) lack of professionalism + service.

Patchwork is fine for a breakfast. The decor was fresh and clean and pleasant. It was not a cheap breakfast so you certainly pay for the convenience if you are staying in the hotel. The food was fine and the service was relatively quick. I believe this is a good place if you want convenience without a long walk.

Food was not good. I ordered the medium well burger and it was very dry. The Caesar salad had huge pieces of anchovy. The fries tasted like they came from a frozen bag. The charcuterie meats were stale and sad. We ordered the 7 piece and left over 1/2 of it. Also ordered a margarita that tasted like flat like juice. There was no salt or hint of tequila. It does not live up to its website and I'm sad I spent the money that I did. Also... the server never refilled our water or asked if we wanted more drinks. There was only 1 other table seated... so it was not an issue of being busy. Not worth it. Keep going.
