Delicious food, if a little heavy. A great date place - good acoustics, lots of stuff on the wall to talk about, good to test how gay-comfortable your dating partner is. - Rachel , posted 05/17/05 |

I love this restaurant because the food is always great and the atmosphere is, too. It's becoming difficult to find a nice, romantic restaurant if you're not one of the "beautiful people" (read: under 35, earning 6 figures). But Astral Plane is always welcoming and the menu is great. The owner is also very active in the gay community and in supporting those living with HIV/AIDS, so that gets big marks with me on the "social responsibility" scale. A place I'm happy to spend my money, and where I always feel I've gotten a great meal at a fair price. - Liz , posted 05/15/05 |
 I've been to Astral Plane once. I was so excited to go there because I had heard so much. I didn't go for dinner, but for brunch. The pancakes were really good and the french toast, as well. But $11 for pancakes??! They were big, but the price was excessive. Some find the art work and decoration kitchy and cool. I found the overabundance of genres and eras nearly panic-inducing. I felt like I was at the cleaning out of a grandmother's attic or something. I don't want to feel like I'm at a yard sale when I'm eating $11 pancakes, dammit. Maybe it's just me..... - Kara , posted 05/12/05 |

That atmosphere is a mix of romantic and bohemian. The service is impeccable and lightning-quick!! The food is well worth the price. - Inna , posted 04/30/05 |

This place is like entering hippie heaven! Their ecclectic mismatched chairs and tablewear, the soft tapestries on the ceiling, and the vintage photos everywhere is great! The food is good, not great, but the drinks are wonderful! It's worth checking out! - Kristi , posted 04/30/05 |

I can never tell if the food makes the ambiance that much better or if it is the other way around. Either way, the restaurant certainly has it going on. Great place to take a date to. - Elle , posted 04/20/05 |

While the food at Astral Plane wouldn't be counted among the best in Philly, it's totally do-able. The best part of this cozy restaurant is the space itself, with twinkle lights and crazy eclectic furniture. THe drinks from the bar aren't half bad either. - Marisa , posted 04/20/05 |

They are located at 17th & Lombard. The food and ambiance is outstanding. If you want to impress a date this is the place to take her. - Kit , posted 12/10/04 |

The Astral Plane, at 17th and Lombard, is one of the few holdouts from the earliest days of Philadelphia's restaurant renaissance, and it's still as delicious as ever. Full bar, incredible menu, and cozy, bohemian ambiance make it a must-eat. - Shani , posted 10/07/04 |
