Cescaphe Ballroom - Restaurant Review
If you’re searching for an elegant, romantic, intimate, and exquisite venue for a wedding, birthday, banquet, or any other type of celebration, look no further than Philadelphia’s Cescaphe Ballroom. Its built in hardwood flooring provides a great dance floor and the ballroom can be transformed into any theme the client desires. Historically a movie theater, the building was renovated and hosted its first event in 2004. Since then, this extravagant venue has become renowned for its signature opulence, professionalism, and unparalleled attention to detail. The Cescaphe Ballroom also features a lounge area that serves as a great area for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. There’s even an outdoor courtyard with a bar.

The Prime Rib
Address: 1701 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103 (Map)
A great steak is a culinary art form, and while many restaurants strive for such excellence, few actually achieve it. For decades, the Prime Rib has been pleasing diners with the highest quality meats and seafood in Baltimore and Washington D.C.; in 1997, it took up shop in Philadelphia. Elegant, classic and undeniably upscale, the Prime Rib has established itself as a beloved favorite among the discerning Rittenhouse crowd, proving that nothing beats a perfectly cooked steak and a well-made cocktail.
