Introducing ’s Executive Chef, Anthony Micari.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Originally from New York, Chef Anthony Micari began his culinary career in the Northeast, refining his craft in acclaimed kitchens across Philadelphia, New Jersey, Miami, and New York. With more than two decades of experience in high-end kitchens in the U.S. and abroad, he is known for his creative approach, operational expertise, and commitment to team leadership.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Micari’s career includes a notable tenure with Starr Restaurants, where he served as Executive Sous Chef at Makoto in Miami’s Bal Harbour Shops. Now, his journey comes full circle as he leads the opening of SLIM’S in the restaurant’s original space — bringing a modern perspective to a location that helped define Miami’s luxury dining landscape. His experience within multi-concept, high-volume environments shaped his reputation as a trusted leader in refined, guest-driven hospitality.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Prior to SLIM’S, Micari held executive roles at The Country Club at DC Ranch, Sun Valley Resort, and Mourad, as well as internationally at Asiatique by Jean-Georges at La Mamounia in Marrakech. Across each chapter of his career, he has played a key role in high-profile openings and overseen complex kitchen operations with precision and excellence.

What people say

According to recent newspaper reviews, Talula's Garden remains one of Philadelphia's most celebrated American restaurants. The Philadelphia Inquirer praised the restaurant's farm-to-table concept and exceptional service in its review dated October 2019. The reviewer also commended Talula's Garden for its "uncommonly good" food and drink options.

Similarly, in a review dated September 2020, The Infatuation raved about the restaurant's outdoor seating and COVID-19 protocols, calling it "one of the best dining experiences" they have had in recent months. They particularly gave high marks to the roasted chicken dish that "oozed flavor."

While many customers on online review websites such as Yelp and TripAdvisor have also praised Talula's Garden for its ambiance and cuisine, some negative reviews indicate subpar service or slow meal delivery times. One customer on TripAdvisor mentioned that despite enjoying their meal at the restaurant, they were disappointed with the waitstaff who seemed to be "rushed off their feet."

Overall, judging from both newspaper reviews and customer feedback online, Talula's Garden is still a popular destination for those looking for a quality dining experience in Philadelphia.
