Restaurant Details
Friday Saturday Sunday
This intimate townhouse restaurant off Rittenhouse Square is still basking in the glow of being named America’s “Outstanding Restaurant” by the James Beard Foundation in 2023. Owners Hanna and Chad Williams haven’t let up: They refreshed the upstairs space with plush butterscotch-colored velvet banquettes, fewer seats, and better lighting for diners indulging in the eight-course tasting menu. The seasonally changing plates also continue to thrill, melding Euro techniques with Caribbean, Southern, and soul food influences for stunning dishes like tortellini stuffed with Benton’s country ham over collards splashed with smoky potlikker, or jerk-spiced quail with fresh coco bread. The downstairs bar, reserved for walk-ins only, remains a gem for à la carte favorites (octopus and beans!) and the most original cocktails in town.
