Spacious and clean! On my most recent visit, we were immediately seated, and shortly after, a server came by to take our order. They provide gloves, an apron, hand wipes, and plastic utensils. I ordered the half-pound mild garlic butter seafood boil with shrimp (without the head), which came with potatoes and corn, and I added sausages. The seafood boil is always tasty. Yummy! I had a cosmo (wasn't strong, but a cute drink to sip while I devoured my seafood boil). Definitely a good spot for seafood boil lovers!

Anyway, it always seems fairly empty but there is usually a steady flow of a few people coming in and out. As you walk in, it's open and CLEAN which is very important to me. The crab legs and very well priced drinks NEVER disappoint, the sauces are amazing and the service is also consistent. This is one of my favorite places to eat in Philly!

The Spritz drink from the happy hour menu was a delight (although still expensive at $9). We ordered the oysters, which were delicious and they came with 4 sauces (tomatillo, mignonette, cocktail, carrot habanero). The fries were delicious and we loved the aioli they were served with (bonus that they're $6 on the hh menu). The Birchrun Blue cheese was incredible and came with a generous portion of bread and a tasty horseradish jelly. The chicory salad and Caesar Brussels sprouts were both outstanding veg dishes. We finished our meal with the frozen yogurt. The flavor options weren't my favorite but I believe these are seasonal. To summarize, the prices are a bit steep here but the vibes, service, food and drinks are all fantastic!

We decided to try this restaurant for this first time for the NYE Prime Rib Night. I don't know why…read morewe were expecting it to not be very good. Maybe it was because we thought the restaurant's culinary concept was somewhat mundane ("picnic"). Maybe it was the simplicity of the food or ingredients on the menu... BUT BOY WERE WE WRONG! THE FOOD WAS GREAT! Simple dishes, yes...but executed really well! We were surprised, but maybe we shouldn't have been. With the super-friendly service and unique open concept warehouse meets magic garden decor, we will definitely be back...at least for the prime rib special! And yes, it's "deep into Fishtown." So deep, in fact, that it's full on past Fishtown and actually in East Kensington.

The 15 lbs of Salmon came in convenient (approx.) 1 lb portions. With my first lb (I have gotten 3 lbs so far) here's what I made: Karen Flam's "Grilled Gravlax". Since I hadn't the time to do a proper "cure" here's what I did: Dry-rub the clean, thawed salmon with: 1.5 tsp. Penzey's Shallot Salt 1 tsp. Penzey's Vanilla Sugar (yes, really) A few healthy shakes of granulated Garlic A few cracks of fresh black pepper LOTS of fresh or dried dill. Then, squeeze on the juice of one (or two) fresh lemons, or use 3-4 TBSP of bottled lemon juice. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4-6 hours (I couldn't wait any longer) - ideally - cure longer (and add some juniper berries - I didn;t have any). Heat a skillet with 1-2 tsp of good olive oil and pan-grill (or use a real grill or grill pan). I seared mine (First with skin side down, then flipped and seard the flesh side). Slice thinly and serve. Do not over cook! My 6 year old gobbled up the small slice I gave her and asked for more right away. She proceeded to eat about 4 oz!

I think the name does this place justice, as your taste buds will be excreting joy and pleasure from the love and amazing flavor that the owners put into their food. Though it is a small restaurant with limited indoor seating options, it is enough to counter space to take a bite of your food before heading home since the smell of the food will make this impossible to do. I ordered the chicken alfredo and the salmon bites with rice, broccoli, and corn on the cob. The chicken alfredo was packed with flavor and creamy goodness that will definitely make me come back. The salmon meal, however, stole the show. The nuggets were fried to perfection and glazed with just one of their many sauces available (Jerk sauce). The corn, broccoli, and rice were the perfect compliments to a light but fulfilling meal. As with most small establishments, the food can get a bit pricey, so come prepared. The wait was also ~40 minutes, though it was a less busy time than usual. The service was also efficient and welcoming. Moreover, my salmon bite meal is custom, and I had to pay to add the rice, broccoli, and corn with the salmon bites. They also have water ice, dessert, seafood pasta salad, and other great options to eat. 10/10 recommend!
