Old Original Bookbinder's has been serving hungry Philadelphians, tourists, athletes and celebrities for over 142 years. Sold to the Taxin family in the 1940s, third-generation owner John E. Taxin is passionate about honoring his family's legacy of offering the freshest fish, prime steaks, and preserving the 'Celebrity Wall of Fame' - photos adorning the walls of the celebrities who have dined over the years."Bookbinder’s is to Philadelphia what La Cupole is to Paris," said Barber, principal of Floss Barber, Inc., comparing Bookie's, as it is affectionately nicknamed, to the celebrated Montparnasse bistro where Hemingway frequented, observing people from all walks of life celebrating the dining experience.The updated 380-seat restaurant features an open kitchen; oyster bar; outdoor dining; a restored, clubby President’s Room with its Amazon mahogany bar; plus banquet and meeting rooms.

Just had my rehearsal dinner at Bookbinder's and it was awesome! Delicious seafood and steaks - everyone in the party was blown away. Probably the best shrimp cocktail i've had in Philly.
