So I've been to Snackbar at least 2-3 times. Not so impressed. So if you order cheese, they don't give you bread or crackers so how are you supposed to eat it? The prices tend to ...

Disappointing 9/30/2009

My boyfriend and I were excited to try out snackbar, it seemed like just what we were looking for - somewhere new for us, good drinks, great environment and light fare. Pros: location Cons: service, prices, food more

Simply the best! 12/25/2008

Check out this great bar! Adventurous food, you'll definetly find something on the menu you've never tried or even thought of before. So, if Applebee's is your place, stay away from Snackbar. But if you enjoy a great bar and a chef who loves what he's doing, check it out. more

Its called snackbar! meaning snacks & bar. 7/24/2008

We have gone only 1 time and have only had small plates/sides/dessert/drinks. But the food was tasty and had a thoughtful and interesting mix of flavors. Yes the servings were not huge american plates - but that is not what they are trying to be. I feel the prices are pricey - but no higher than other tapas places in the city that I've been to. On the evening we went the servers were extremely nice and attentive - we had an overall positive experience. Pros: the desserts! fireplace. small yet nice wine list. Cons: were out of some of the items we wanted to order at 11:00pm. more

Good food, strange and pricey experience 12/30/2007

I went to Snackbar after walking by a dozen times and envying the gorgeous fireplace. The decor is perfect - modern, warm, and intimate but not cluttered. The gnocchi was delish, but the salmon (which allegedly had a mango sauce) was fairly bland. The portion sizes were quite small, making for an expensive meal. Most surprising was the poor service, despite the restaurant being half empty. It took 20 minutes for the server to take our drink order, another 10 to receive them, and then we were coarsely asked ""oh, did we want to order food?"" as though it were an afterthought. Pros: good food Cons: pricey meal, also strange idea of service more

Nice restaurant 9/8/2007

The restaurant had a nice atomphere. Service and food were excellent! Great place for drinks. If you order the small portions, I recommend ordering 2. Pros: great service, excellent food, nice atomosphere Cons: smaller place more

Pretention Palace 9/2/2007

So I live around the corner from this place and after watching it being erected (so to speak, it was actually a restaurant called 'oyster') i decided to grab a bite with an older female companion--let's just call her mom. Pros: hot staff Cons: food, pricing more

Not up to par 5/31/2007

So I've been to Snackbar at least 2-3 times. Not so impressed. So if you order cheese, they don't give you bread or crackers so how are you supposed to eat it? The prices tend to be a bit higher than I think it deserves to charge. I think you're better off at Vintage or Tria. Then for happy hour they kept changing what the specials were and didn't tell us so our bill was a surprise. So basically I would say go to a different wine bar, so many better ones in this city. Hey, I'll give it props for the cool trendy decor and that's about it. Also a bit cramped because they're chairs are a bit bulky Pros: Cool decor Cons: Food is weird, pricey more

    Let's get one thing straight: this rather posh Rittenhouse Square boîte is heavy-handed on style and decidedly a snack bar in name alone. A raging fire sets the scene from...
