Every course of this tasting was so delicious. The Hokkaido scallop, oxtail beignet, cocos bread with coconut beurre blanc, and summer vegetable dish were truly transcendent. So exciting to see Caribbean influences in a tasting menu. I added the wine pairing and was very impressed. Well curated and oh so delicious. Everything was both familiar and new which is a beautiful experience as a guest. You may know Langhe Nebbiolo, but did you know they also grow Freisa there? That kinda thing. It was all so engaging and fun! Service was also perfectly executed by everyone who touched the table. Thank you Carzell, you were great!

Best dinner I have had in Philly this year...
Struck the perfect balance of fine cuisine while remaining unpretentious, relaxed, and approachable. Dishes were impeccable in flavor, presentation, and creativity. Well crafted tasting menu from both length and quantity - satiated but not full. Staff was down to earth yet knowledgeable about every detail across food and wine pairing (Daniel was amazing) . It's been on our list for too long and we will be back soon.

This place made me cry (food was too good). Every time I walk past this on my way home from a Rittenhouse adventure, I cry again (thinking about how long itâs been since Iâve returned).

We love having dinner at the bar! The bartenders are so friendly and never rush you! Your seat is yours as long as you want it. The food is always excellent! Highly recommend the spaghetti and market fish (was halibut the 2 times weâve had it)âso moist and delicious!! This is such a neighborhood gem!

Wonderful staff, ambiance, and food. I opted for the prefix menu. Service was phenomenal. My friend and I were able enjoy a lovely meal with minimal interruptions. Perfect for special occasions or just a casual intimate dinner.
Truly incredible dining! The service is great and while itâs definitely fine dining, thereâs an air of casualness that makes you feel comfortable. The food was out of this world. The flavors mix so well and the order in which they come out just works!! We love the duck dish and the strawberry tarte.

An unforgettable dining experience. Everythingâfrom the atmosphere to the food, wine, and serviceâwas outstanding. The space was warm and welcoming, the staff were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, and each dish was creative, beautifully plated, and absolutely delicious. I was initially concerned that the tasting portions might be too small, but my partner and I actually struggled to finish dessertâwe left completely full and satisfied. The wine pairings were diverse, thoughtful, and enhanced every course. I especially loved the inclusion of a sherry, which was a surprising and perfect match for one of the dishes. Even after enjoying what amounted to nearly a full bottle of wine, I felt great the next dayâno headache at all. That speaks to the exceptional quality of the ingredients and balance of the meal. Plus, our water glasses were never emptyâa small detail, but one that speaks volumes about the service. What stood out most was the pacing of the courses. We were never rushed, and each dish arrived when we were ready. That kind of timing is rare in tasting menus and made the experience feel relaxed and intentional. So many restaurants move you through dinner like a transaction, even when you're paying a premium. Here, we were able to truly celebrate our anniversary, enjoy each otherâs company, and savor every bite. This James Beard Awardâwinning restaurant more than lived up to its reputation. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special night out.
Absolutely LOVE đđ

Where do I even start? My fiancĂ© and I went for our anniversary last night, and if I was asked to sum it up in one word it would be: Perfect. To have a restaurant that is presenting dish after dish as exquisite as they are here at FSS, you would think it would be stuffy and pretentious. It could not be further from the reality here. My fiancĂ© and I were admittedly overdressed, because from what we had heard about the food, we just assumed the attire. It is so warmly casual, with a layer of elegance that you just have to immerse yourself in to understand. I ordered the wine pairing with our tasting menu, and the service throughout the entire meal from start to literally being led to the stairs to leave was top notch. Andrew was our server, he didnât miss a beat with every explanation, while making it his own so not a single part felt robotic or rehearsed. The âfood runnersâand âbussersâ, I put quotes bc they were much more than that, they knew every bite of food as well as the servers did. Nikki was the matâr d, she was lively, bubbly and sweet. Hannah, co-owner and the chefâs wife was working the room and stopped at every table, also running the food. She was so charming, and you could tell how much is put into this place by her overall presence, honestly. Now the food, unreal. Dish after dish was just unreal. No bite of food needed more or less of anything, so perfectly balanced and just an absolute joy to eat and to see the look on my fiancĂ©âs face while he ate. 200/10. It is not a cheap night and weâve been waiting for months to go. And I do not say this lightly while we are saving for our wedding, It was worth every.single.penny.
