Literally one of the best meals I've ever had!…read more So this is definitely a splurge, it's expensive. But you are getting not only spectacular food, but exquisite service, a gorgeous and intimate environment and a long and lingering meal - they aren't rushing you out here, they want you to rest between courses and have an excellent experience. It's a set prix fix menu that changes regularly of seven courses plus an opening snack and two desserts. Portions are tiny but it adds up and you will not leave hungry! I am a vegetarian and they easily accommodated me with advanced notice. They also offer a wine pairing, which we skipped, but know friends have done it and said it was fabulous (but be forewarned... they give full pours so you will be very tipsy!). We saw some couples sharing a single wine pairing and that seemed like a smart idea. It's very hard to get a reservation- on the first of the month they open up reservations for the following month, and they go fast! It's on the second floor of an old townhouse so there are stairs to climb. The first floor is a bar with first come, first serve seating. At the bar they have a different menu with full sized portions. Can't wait to go back and try that out! Highly, highly recommend and I can't wait for an excuse to go back!

I was so excited to go to FSS after they won a Michelin star. However, I left disappointed and will…read morelikely not be returning. We got the tasting menu (with the additional lobster snack), and got 3 drinks total. After tax and tip, this meal cost us ~$600 dollars for 2 people. At that price point this should've been the best meal I've ever had in philly - or one of the best in my life tbh. But I was so disappointed in each dish. Almost everything fell flat to my palate. With small bite presentations such as this, I firmly believe that each bite needs to taste like a flavor bomb in my mouth. Instead, it all tasted very 2 dimensional and was severely lacking in some acidity or spice. Didn't even bother taking a picture of all the dishes. I don't believe FSS is on par with other Michelin star meals I've had, especially not at this price point. Overall, don't waste your money at FSS if you want to celebrate an occasion. You're honestly better off going to a starr restaurant and paying less than half the price ‍

We came for the early bird and were forced to sit in the noisy bar because that's the only place the early bird is offered. The rules for the early bird are ridiculous! The drink deals are restricted to just a few items and the entrees did not seem appetizing. The food we did order was completely unappetizing, tasteless and certainly not worth the price. Even if the service is great, if the food sucks who cares that it was delivered but friendly attentive staff. We are done with this place. For not much more we could have had a really nice meal at Davio's around the corner.

Returning for a group it was fairly painless to set up a private room reservations and enjoy a…read morecomfortably lunch together. The room itself was a bit chilly, you may need to ask to keep the door closed to cut down on the cross breeze. While I still find all their chicken lacks any seasoning, their cornbread, salsa, and soups are altogether outstanding comfort foods I could feast on forever. Service can be a bit slow so prepare for that. We waited about 20 minutes just for 2 chocolate dessert assortment plates (really just put the bonbons on the plate and call it good) and everyone felt like they had a special time. I consider the place a bit overpriced but if you want something a little extra, worth the trip. Just avoid the chicken.

Out of all of my visits, my favorite is the weekend brunch menu. There are so many yummy things to choose from like the breakfast burrito, the banana Forester French toast, the various of Benedict's including crab, and there were a bunch of various breakfast sandwiches, but the most menu appealing one that I liked is the pork roll. On my last trip I wound getting a chicken brie apples bacon on brioche bread. It was a special of the day. From the moment I bid into it, I knew I would love it for the savoriness, the crisp and sweet tasting bread. There was a side of potatoes... Very nicely seasoned and the perfect crunch to them. On my last visit, it was a total of 10 people in our group and the customer service was great. We were all able to pay with separate checks... Always a perk. The waiter was super super friendly and kept our coffee refills going. Inside it is busy which could lead away from the quiet ambience, but I didn't mind it at all.
