"Everyone knows the unwritten rule that you don't have to pay for your own birthday dinner. With that law in mind, there's no better place to celebrate than Jean-Georges. The upscale French restaurant is on the 59th floor of the Four Seasons. It has stunning panoramic views of the city, understated, elegant decor, and a staff that’s more attentive than J.Lo’s glam squad. Go for the six-course land and sea tasting menu (that can get pricier with add-ons like champagne and truffles). You can expect dishes like perfectly cooked wagyu beef tenderloin and beautifully seasoned black bass. Just know that you’ll leave a night here figuring out who you can convince your birthday is next week just to do it all over again." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"The famed Christmas tasting menu at the luxurious Four Seasons is a show-stopper. The $245 price tag feels justified when the menu includes a five-course omnivore tasting menu that features mozzarella ravioli with white truffles, steamed black sea bass with delicata squash and a pumpkin seed gremolata relish, and roasted duck a l’orange with rutabaga. Book a reservation between 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m." - Ernest Owens
"At Jean-Georges, you eat way above William Penn's head. This French spot on the 59th floor of the Four Seasons has panoramic views of the city and a six-course “land and sea” tasting menu. All the food, from wagyu beef tenderloin and black bass with a sweet and sour vegetable jus, is skillfully cooked and seasoned. If you want to spend a night at a restaurant where your purse has a seat, this is it." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"Sitting at this French restaurant on the 59th floor of the Four Seasons is the closest you can get to being a Logan Square god. There are panoramic views of the city, a menu section dedicated to "caviar creations," little seats for your purse, and a six-course “land and sea” tasting menu for $218. When you need to plan one of the fanciest dinners of your Philly life—and are okay paying a pretty penny for it—this is the spot." - candis mclean
"It’s already luxurious enough to staycation at the Four Seasons in Center City, but to also dine in the sky at the marvelous Jean-Georges is just an additional cherry on top. New chef de cuisine Colin Henderson has transformed their once ultra-stuffy menu into a smörgåsbord of creative à la carte options that includes sautéed Hudson Valley foie gras with heirloom greens, mozzarella ravioli with black truffle fondue, and peekytoe crab dumplings with Meyer lemon." - Ernest Owens
