Water Works Restaurant & Lounge

One of Philadelphia's only waterfront restaurants is one of its most romantic, thanks to the sweeping porch that provides for a drink or a meal full of breathtaking views of the Schuylkill River and Boathouse Row. The restaurant was built into a 19th century public works facility whose architectural and engineering marvels made it a tourist destination for 100 years. Saveur magazine named Water Works a "Top 100 Experience," and Chef Darryl Harmon and his team have hosted some of the world's most noted figures in politics, entertainment and sports.
