If you’re on the hunt for a top Philadelphia steak restaurant, why settle for the ordinary? For an unforgettable meal, dine aboard a 100 year old ship docked in Penn’s landing. Few restaurants in Philly offer a similar experience, with fine dining—a fusion of Southwestern, American, and French, with South Seas flair—and breathtaking waterfront views.

Book a reservation at the only Philadelphia steak restaurant aboard the largest windjammer ship in existence, now moored permanently in Philadelphia. Long before housing one of the top restaurants in Philly, the ship was used as a military vessel. The ship was constructed for G.H.J. Siemers & Co. to be used in the nitrate trade, and was launched in 1904. Between 1904 and 1914, the ship brought coal from Wales to South America, nitrate from Chile to Germany, coal from Australia to Chile, and coke and patent fuel from Germany to Santa Rosalia, Mexico. The United States seized the ship in 1917 during World War I. Between 1917 and 1920, the U.S. Shipping Board owned the ship, and it was used to carry wool and chrome between North America, ...
... Manila and Australia.



Today, the ship provides diners with an upscale, seafaring-themed restaurant experience. Rich with history, the ship is decorated with yellowing photographs of its former glory as a military vessel, as well as beautifully lit masts, bronze sconces and woodwork. Dine on the upper decks for a spectacular view of the Delaware River, and Philly’s waterfront and skyline. This floating restaurant makes the perfect venue for celebrations, with banquet facilities and private dining areas to accommodate all guests. The ship’s location and nautical ambiance makes this ship one of the top restaurants in Philly for special nights out, as well as the perfect venue for hosting larger events.

Menu options include top-quality Philadelphia steak restaurant dishes, along with extensive vegetarian options, gourmet grilled dishes, fresh fish and more. For those looking for dishes other than typical Philadelphia steak restaurant fare, try the yellowfin tuna sashimi, chipotle barbequed duck, spiced 12 oz South African lobster or grilled Kobe burgers with Lancaster Farmhouse cheddar. Complement your meal with wine from a long, international wine list, and finish off with a dessert from the enticing dessert menu. For a truly unforgettable evening, treat yourself and your guests to one of the top restaurants in Philly for fine dining and unique ambiance.
