Banshee

The best dinner we’ve had in Philly this year, 2026. Rivals the early days of Illata. Beautiful plating, wonderful ingredients, and a cozy atmosphere. The pork collar, Mellon salad, and prawns were a standout. 10/10 would go again.

Went a few months back- highlights were the tart flambée and the cocktail (maybe Found Footage?). Grilled Kyoto carrot was great, everything tasted amazing. Staff were super kind and professional

Our meal at Banshee was fantastic! We went with a group of four and love sharing plates, so we ordered just about every small plate on the menu. Every dish was outstanding, but the asparagus and peas and the Kyoto carrots were absolute standouts. The service was excellent as well. The staff took the time to explain each dish as it was served, and they were incredibly knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we had. Between the amazing food and attentive service, it was a memorable dining experience. I would highly recommend Banshee and can't wait to come back to try more of the menu.

We live in the neighborhood and have walked past Banshee countless times. Every time, we’d stop to look at the menu and ultimately decide against it—mostly because we couldn’t get past the idea of paying $16 for a carrot. This was our second visit, though, because our first experience completely won us over. This time, we finally tried the famous $16 carrot. It was good, but not our favorite dish. What keeps bringing us back are the oysters, prawns, sourdough, patatas bravas, olives, salami, and outstanding cocktails. The service has been excellent on both visits, and the overall experience is consistently impressive. Banshee definitely isn’t cheap, but for us, it’s absolutely worth it. We’re lucky to have it in the neighborhood and look forward to coming back.

wow! beautiful interior and affordable prices (so shocked) overall experience:6.7/10 highlights were the: ⭐️ praytell orange chardonnay (dry, fruity) ($18) ⭐️ asparagus and peas, the pine nuts 🧑‍🍳🤌 ($16) ⭐️ chicory salad, wow new fave cheese: midnight moon blue cheese and “dijonaise” our guess was a dijon-mayonnaise dressing ($16) other things we got: + hamachi crudo with passion fruit ($21) thicc slices of fish, great texture and chew. flavor was typical: tart and tangy + tarts flambee ($16) ordered after seeing the table next to us get it. def prettier than it tasted (just mid) + pork collar ($30) the pork was cooked perfectly!!! the overall flavours were lackluster, needed a sweet component or something to punch otherwise felt bland service: our server was sweet and attentive, very bubbly atmosphere: lively, great for pictures. recommend coming before sunset for the way the light filters in — or drinks at night at the dreamy bar is also good. the tables are pretty close together so it was easy to get bumped by the server and other guests.
