Wm. Mulherin’s Sons

Thomas Overpeck

One of the best meals I’ve ever had. The chef (Andrew) prepared some incredible dishes. The servers were kind and friendly and the bartenders crafted excellent cocktails. Highly recommend. The Double Pork Chop was the best I’ve ever had, the octopus was light and delicious. Pizza is always good here and even though we were full beyond capacity the Strawberry Shortcake was too good to pass up. Creamy, fresh and light. Perfect ending to the meal.

We had a reservation for 9:30pm and arrived minutes before. We waited shortly to be seated. The place was crowded, loud, and busy but the ambience was nice. The tables were really close to each other which we didn’t care for but it wasn’t anything that could be done about that. Our plates and napkins and table were clean and our server was ok. She was just there to do her job but no extraordinary service or anything. The kitchen staff who delivered our food to the table thoroughly explained each dish as they dropped off. We started with the Yellowfin Tuna Crudo for the small plate and for me it just didn’t taste as fresh as I would’ve liked. Almost like it shouldn’t have been used but was used just before it went completely bad. The dressing that accompanied the tuna was maybe a vinaigrette, which we did like. My entree came out in decent time. I ordered the Chili Marinated Mahi Mahi. My food wasn’t anything worth raving about and tasted like they played it safe as far as seasonings. The dish also wasn’t accompanied with any sides; just a plate of fish and unseasoned peppers. My husband’s entree came out way later than mine. By time his plate arrived to the table, I was nearly finished mine. Our server did come to let us know his food was coming and the kitchen staff were apologetic about taking as long. Husband ordered the gnocchi. I barely could see any lobster in it and it was just blah. The entrees weren’t flavorful at all. As far as cocktails, we decided on the Tropic like it’s hot and Cyn and Juice. Both cocktails were really delicious and if I returned, it would solely be for their drinks that are a little pricey. We did an apple crostata for desert. It was doable. If it had been hotter it could have been better. Compared to other apple crostata I’ve had, I wouldn’t put theirs at the top of my list. It’s wasn’t good enough to satisfy my Apple crostata craving, but it wasn’t the worst. We also tried the chocolate profiteroles. I’m not a mousse fan so I didn’t enjoy this dessert. Husband gave it an “alright”. All in all, the restaurant isn’t a huge disappointment but it didn’t met the expectation and isn’t on our list of returns.

Wm. Mulherin’s Sons was around the corner from the hotel we were staying in Fishtown, Philadelphia. Because of our schedule, we weren’t able to have dinner there but luckily had time for a night cap at their bar. The restaurant also had rooms upstairs was handsome, full of historic details and red bricks. It was an abandoned Whiskey warehouse that was brought back to life. The minute we walked in the restaurant, we were overcome by the umami smell of the wood fire oven. The bartenders were friendly. The restaurant was opening up some of their older bottles of Italian wines. We couldn’t resist ordering a pizza to go with our wines. We had a few delicious glasses of Barbaresco. The Leslie Chow pizza of wild mushrooms, talegio, radicchio and saba was one of the best pizzas I had tasted. The pizza dough was full of flavor. The pizza was light without the regular red sauce. The next time we are in Philadelphia, we are definitely going to Wm. Mulherin’s Sons for dinner. Fishtown is a great neighborhood full of good restaurants.

This is a shared plate type of experience, unless you are really bringing your belly to feed! The food has a beautiful presentation and made your tastebuds happy with approval. Even their drinks kept our group enjoying the evening and dinner. We enjoyed the service we received, where everyone was very attentive to your needs
