Devon Seafood Grill knows how to bring in their customers and to keep them coming back. Located in the upscale Rittenhouse Square, Devon doesn't fail to meet the high standards. There is rarely a wait, even without reservations, the inside is spacious and tasteful. The dim lighting gives a hint of romance while the open air seating area is comfortable, casual, and anything you could want in a dining out experience.

Promptly after you are seated they will bless your little side dish with a biscuit beyond biscuits as well as some honey butter. I swear the two together are just amazing, like they were meant for each other. I could eat just these biscuits for my meal if the rest of the food didn't par up, but it does! This is just the beginning of what will be one of your most memorable meals.

There is a pre-fixed menu available, I believe they are $30 and include: appetizer, entree, & dessert. That's a deal! But if what you want isn't listed on the pre-fix then there regular menu will blow you away. But let me not get ahead of myself here, get the Fried Calamari! It's a large plate, along with julianed carrots and sliced jalapenos, breaded and fried with a delicious batter and comes along with some plum sauce and some other spicy delicious sauce as well. The soups are delectable, the salads are scrumptuos, and even when you are filled to the brim you won't want to stop eating.

At the top they start off with many different fishes and such that you can have cooked many different ways, it's exactly like customizing your own dinner. My sister LOVES the halibut from Devon, and I must say I'm a huge fan also! Last time I was there I dabbled in the swordfish, can i just say YUM! I love swordfish, its a bit meaty-er, not as flaky as a halibut or tilapia, more like steak but it is delish! My mom and myself like to often indulge in the Maryland style Crabcakes, which far out shine many of the like. My favorite sides are the plate licking good Garlic Mashed potatoes as well as the asparagus.

For dessert I suggest you dabble in the Creme Brule, it's deligthfully light and topped with fresh seasonal berries. I also tried something called Seasonal Berry Crisp, or around those lines. What it is is fresh seasonal berries between and atop fylo crisps that must have been covered in sugar and baked because they are a sugary delight and whipped cream on top. It was so good! Half of the time I don't even have room in this stomach of mine for the dessert after the appetizer, huge dinner entree and a couple glasses of wine, but if you can stuff it in I say chow down! This meal won't let you down, I promise.
