Charming place near Rittenhouse Square. Interesting menu with diverse choices. The beef tartare and mussels were outstanding. Small wine list but excellent and fairly priced choices. The service was friendly and well paced. Highly recommend.

We can’t say anything about the service. It was great. However, the food lacked flavor. We all agreed that it was fresh, but not fine and sophisticated. Moreover, it tasted more on the salty side, especially the mussels and halibut.
