What people say, in short
Double Knot is a frequent pick for a good meal in Philadelphia, with people recommending the chef tasting menu and calling the happy hour amazing. One visitor had great experiences there and sees it as a good stop for out-of-towners, though not the heart of Philly, while another found it cool but pricey with just okay food, praising the service and vibe and suggesting it for a first date. A further diner was underwhelmed on several visits, and one commenter notes reservations are hard to get on short notice.

Found it cool but overpriced with merely okay food; service and atmosphere were strong enough that a first date still makes sense.

Sees it as a worthwhile stop for out-of-towners that shows off Philly food, and has had great experiences, but doesn't consider it central to the city.
