R2L has one of the best views of Philadelphia, so the ambiance hits the spot. My waitress was amazing and very prompt. However, the food can be a hit or a miss, especially while considering the price range. I went with a party of six, so we ordered all of the recommended items and almost all the desserts. We started off with 'Chopped' as our appetizer, and it tasted absolutely delectable.
Then we got four entrees. The salmon was scrumptious, and so was the Redfish and scallops. The duck was extremely overcooked, and we got maybe half a duck breast, which was disappointing. But the Cassoulet with the Navy beans was absolutely scrumptious. My vegetarian friend ordered the Vegan roasted maitake with oyster mushrooms, which he liked. I do think that the price range is a bit high since the dishes didn't feel too inspired on my palette.
All the desserts that we got were pretty good. I especially liked the lemon-coconut sorbet, which had a subtle hint of mint, and the Chocolate Tart. Overall, I'd recommend this place if you're going catching up with people because the ambiance is fantastic. However, the entrees could use a bit more work.
