CO-OP Restaurant & Bar

We very much enjoyed our dinner here. I enjoyed the filet mignon which was cooked perfectly. There was a decent wine selection as well which we took advantage of. Server was attentive although didn't know too much about the wine, however the bartender was able to assist. Would return for the delicious steak.

Unfortunately, had a tough experience here over the weekend. To start with a positive - the ambience is really pretty and there's both indoor and outdoor eating opportunities. My friend got the Dutch baby and the blueberry compote and clotted cream were really tasty. The Dutch baby was good, but felt thicker and more dense than they usually are. My veggie toast was quite good, though different than described on the menu. I walked in and was seated right away, and they came to check on my coffee order even before my dining companions joined. The coffees, both hot and iced, were pretty decent. One of my friends wanted to get some syrup and hers and our server didn't know which ones were available and even after checking was a little bit off. Then asked for recommendations for some starters we were thinking of, and our server didn't know the descriptions of some of them. But it was once we finally decided what to order that it really went downhill. My veggie toast & my friend's Dutch baby came out at close times but my friend's fried chicken sandwich took way longer. They brought out some pastries to help which was nice, but when the sandwich finally did come out my friend took one bite and it was uncooked inside. When we told the server, he said it had happened to someone else too!!! They did comp our bill, which was a nice move, but I wouldn't recommend this place to others.

Nice interior and ambiance. They had a full bar and I loved that they opened the doors to the outside during the day. I went for a work dinner and we got attentive service when we went. The apps were small but delicious. I also got the linguine with clam sauce and the serving was a good size but it was sweet. I've never had this dish be sweet before so it was a bit odd. Would recommend for a meal to anyone in the area.

This is my go to happy hour place. The food is usually pretty consistent and the drinks are quite good. I often get the shishito peppers or whipped ricotta. The servings are hardy so definitely good shareable options. The happy hour menu changes, but when they're on there, the wings and fries are really good. The sauces that come with the dishes really elevate the dishes. Service can be a tad slow sometimes so you may want to order two drinks at once...lol.

Wonderful warm atmosphere on the corner of a busy street. Had breakfast with a friend and ordered the Lancaster omelette. Excellent food and pleasant staff.

Mushroom omelette - a bit bland but good portionEgg Benedict - good temperature and runny eggs. Potatoes are ok. Went during brunch on Saturday. The place was pretty empty so that was good.

Had a great time visiting the Co-Op for their National Beer Day collaboration event with Two Locals Brewing Company. This spot is connected to the The Study which is a great hotel for parents visiting UPenn to see their kids. Food was pretty good. Went with Rooster's Crown Pasta and an order of hush puppies. Creamy, hearty, and flavorful. I specifically came for the Two Locals collaboration. The first Black owned brewery in Philadelphia. Their Nubian Ale is delicious!Staff was excellent. We spent a ton of time chatting with the bar staff and getting the background of the Co-Op. there are some awesome folks working here.

We went here as a big group (~20 people). We had food that was OK. My chicken was undercooked, but in general OK. When we were paying they charged us 20% gratitude as is normal for group. In addition they charged us (automatically) another 20% as gratitude. So without asking they charged us 40% gratitude. After a lot of struggle half of it came off. They claim it was an error with the cash register. I cannot recommend places that try to charge you 20% extra without explanation and when call on it put up a major struggle. They are crooks

Huge portions! Great service! Just a little dark but it's part of the ambiance. Overall a great time!

Ate more than once here and food just wasn't good. And when they delivered food to room, order was wrong and poor guy had to run back down to get my latte. What arrived was big bottle of water. A second time they forgot one of my dishes.
