Percy
Day 1: 5-Course Culinary Concerto Tasting Series
Opened just this past May, this Fishtown eatery (and the latest creation from the team behind the ultra-popular Forîn) jumped right onto Eater’s July List of “Best New Philly Restaurants.” Executive Chef Jack Smith, a graduate of Johnson & Wales’ esteemed culinary program and an alum of such notable establishments as Brick Farm Tavern, Uchi, and a.kitchen, is executing a menu that includes intriguing dishes like buffalo chicken deviled eggs, gnocchi with carrot puree and crispy shallot, gulf shrimp with ramp harissa and coconut lentils, guajillo and coffee-braised lamb, and much more. Did we mention it’s all dished out in a ‘70s vibe sound lounge with elegant midcentury tones (which create a very special atmosphere indeed)? “Exceptionally stylish,” says Infatuation in fact, so we are all geared up to visit. We hope that you’ll be able to join us for what promises to be a very fun and delicious night out!
