The Love. Menu Prices

Refined neighborhood destination from Aimee Olexy & Stephen Starr featuring seasonal American fare

Just steps away from beautiful Rittenhouse Square, this bilevel sanctuary features a total of 100 seats, split between the main dining and bar areas, outdoor seating along 18th Street and an upper-level loft with a 20-person communal country table perfect for large parties and casual drop-ins alike.

Designed by New York City’s Roman and Williams, The Love exudes a relaxed yet sophisticated aesthetic, replete with painted brick, reclaimed tiling, custom wallpaper and handmade fixtures.
The restaurant itself — Olexy’s fifth and Starr’s 35th — is a vibrant and carefree café that celebrates creative American cuisine every day.
