This is my second visit to The Little Lion, this time just before the Sunday brunch crowd really took off. The wait and host staff are welcoming and prompt. Interior ambiance is sharp and reflects historic Philadelphia quite well, excellent for anyone seeking a fully thought out dining experience. Now the food, I'm bias with a love of southern food, and on both of my visits, each with a different dining guest, and different selections (get the grits to share, they're exceptional!), everything is wonderful! I couldn't be more pleased with my dining experience...great after going to the new American Revolution Museum across the street.
The Little Lion is a great restaurant if you are looking for southern-inspired food and a good tap list. I have been here twice now and have enjoyed everything I've tried. I'm not usually the type of person that takes pictures of food, but c'mon check out that presentation! The happy hour is a nice addition, however, I'm a little disappointed that the appetizer portion size decreased between my first and second visits. Other than that, I would highly recommend visiting!
Had the chance to enjoy a nice brunch outside. Really good service! Food for the most part was good. I was a bit disappointed with the hash because the short rib was really dry. The pancakes we really good. And the buffalo chicken biscuits with gravy was really good. I'd pass on the fried green tomatoes.
