Buzz About R2L
![]()
"Eleven more restaurants you won't want to miss... A
grand view from the thirty-seventh floor, and Chef Daniel Stern's menu
of global and American Fare. What to order: rabbit taquitos with
jalapeno mousse."
"Chefs' most stimulating dishes: eye-popping, mouthwatering, aromatically exhilarating - Chef Daniel Stern's deconstructed Caesar salad at R2L in Philadelphia includes a dollop of mousse-like dressing thickened with agar."
"Visit R2L on the 37th floor of Two Liberty, and here's what you'll find gliding through the dining room: a sleek, custom-made stainless steel [bar cart] kitted out with storage for glassware and all the proper tools for whipping up a martini or champagne cocktail right at your table - cocktail service is one retro trend we think may catch on."
"Chef-owner Daniel Stern has reinvented wow dining in Philly with this glam restaurant and lounge on the 37th floor of Two Liberty Place."
"Chef Daniel Stern... finds himself on top of things - the 37th floor of
Two Liberty Place, in fact - with the handsome, contemporary-meets-deco
R2L, where the spendy American menu is augmented by an assortment of
clever bar snacks and drinks that pay homage to classic cocktails; every
seat offers a view, either of the cityscape or the open kitchen."
"[R2L features] fourteen sumptuous banquettes with window seats for spectacular but not vertigo-inducing south and west views. "
"Whether you're a corporate bigwig, or an up-and-coming entrepreneur, a
solid go-to list of power lunch spots is an occupational must-have.
After all, great business deals are never brokered on an empty stomach."
