Exquisite in every respect. Rivals any Michelin Starred restaurant in NYC, and I fully expect FSS to get its own next month.

Absolutely so special and nailed it with the anniversary message on the dessert. I look forward to joining downstairs in the near term because the upstairs is very premium. It is very special night.

Highly recommended tasting menu. Creative and tasty dishes. True tasting size dishes but at 8 courses it's plenty of food and so much tasty variety. Standouts were the Hokkaido scallop which had memorable fragrant foam; also the lobster clam fusilli which did a great balanced job of extracting those ocean flavors. Service is upscale but friendly. Also highly recommend the wine pairing which includes some unique item you not normally select yourself. I will come back to eat from a regular ala carte menu at the super comfy bar downstairs which opens 4:45. I think this is mostly a secret for locals since it's small and unreserved.

AMAZING experience, we went for our 5th wedding anniversary and they made it such a special dinner for us. Each plate was perfect and so delicious. I highly recommend!

Excellent staff presents the meal experience in a fun and informative way. Amazing presentation of each course.

What flavors!! And variety! The next day, and my taste buds are still sorting out some of the intricate combinations. Wow! Because the setting is a rowhome in the city, it is quite an intimate spot and could easily be a neighborhood hangout! Service is, as expected, superb. Very attentive and of course extremely knowledgeable. 10 courses were perfect. I was full! But I wanted to start over, again, so I could sort out all the tastes. From the oxtail bomb, to the cream and scallop, to the extraordinary vichyssoise, the halibut with one of the best croissants ever, to the final strawberry tart, and everything in between, this is good eating! I'll definitely return!

Friday, Saturday Sunday was outstanding! Went for daughter's birthday. They have a taste menu Only. Although it's pricey, it was well worth the experience. Semi casual. Can get a little dark - dim lighting ,especially in the evening. Full bar. You need to walk up a flight of steps to get to the restaurant area. No elevator seen. The bar is on the lower level. The menu was outstanding. Service was top notch. The waiters made everyone feel special. They explained every meal as it came out. Special thank you to wait staff! Although tasting portions were small, you were full when you left. Seven different meal tasting plus dessert. Parking is challenging . You either have to park on Walnut or 21st & Samson and walk about five minutes to the restaurant. Felt safe walking. Busy. Nice crowd. Highly recommend!

I had such a wonderful experience dining at Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, specifically having the tasting menu. The food was outstanding- balanced, bright and flavorful. I'm still dreaming about the pasta dish. The service was excellent! I can't recall my primary server's name but he was great, incredibly attentive and offered great recommendations. Lastly, the restaurant itself was beautiful. The decor was lovely, and the atmosphere was cozy, moody and intimate. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Absolutely outstanding. Tasting menu was well worth it. Each dish was complex, flavorful and expertly plated. A perfect amount of food, small dishes but no chance of leaving hungry. The servers were friendly, service was excellent. Ambiance was perfect, so so romantic. Couldn't have picked a better place to take the girl of my dreams for what turned out to be one of the best meals of my entire life.

On a quick trip to Philly and decided while there why not dine and Friday Saturday Sunday. I first heard of the restaurant while listening to their interview over NPR. Three years later my opportunity had presented itself. I decided to walk from 30th St Station to the location with plenty of time to spare only to discover when I was now 25 minutes late for my reservation that I had walked right pass the location and found myself in another neighborhood. Quickly I Uber'd to the restaurant with little time to spare for dining so as not to miss my train back to DC. I notified the host of my dilemma and they quickly went into action. It was wonderful! My waiter Daniel was on it! He orchestrated all 7 courses to come out quickly leaving me time to make my train back home. The meal was spectacular! The sweetbreads melted in my mouth, and the allium fusilli with razor clams met my palate in harmony with the right texture and consistency. The show stopper was the final entrée presentation, brisket accompanied with a broth. Flavored and cooked to perfection it was prepared at the exact right temperature requiring very little cutting and melted in my mouth as well. I was unable to dine long enough to partake of desert, but no fret Daniel had me covered. He packaged for me a little take home bag with a canelé that I enjoyed with my espresso this morning. Daniel is a Gem!

An amazing experience from start to finish. Such a relaxing atmosphere, service was impeccable, presentation super creative.... And most importantly the food was beyond!

This was our first time dining at Friday Saturday Sunday, and it was a great experience. The service was very professional and the multi-course tasting menu was consistently excellent. My only wish is that the tasting menu could feature more vegetables as it is very protein and grain centered.

Expected more from this award winning place. The dishes were interesting but nothing really stood out as exceptional. A very competent pasta dish with clams similar to things many Philly restaurants can serve. A bland vegetable course (corn) a rather ordinary fish course (halibut). The duck and the short ribs were standout but at $200+/person, one expects more.
