Went to dinner with a group of girlfriends and we had a very memorable meal trying numerous dishes while seated at a large table nestled by the open kitchen. The charcoal inspired food is a great concept and all the dishes were fantastic. Our group ordered a bunch of food but I particularly enjoyed Cesar salad, radiatori pasta with lamb, whole fish (table favorite), and basque style cheesecake. Also the music playlist was on point. Kudos Chef Scott! Can’t wait to dine again :)
The atmosphere was warm and cozy and we sat near the kitchen with glimpses of open cooking fires. The wait staff was great and we appreciated how confident they were with ingredients since we had an allergy in our party. We did family style and everything was unique and had such layers of flavor. Drinks were creative and tasty. And if you can nail a dessert that isn’t sweet you win in my book.

I’ve eaten at E&A at least 5 times and every time I go the food gets better and better. The pasta dishes are out of this world good. The newest lamb ragu and beet ravioli dishes were some of the best pasta I’ve ever had. The whole fish is my other favorite dish. So fresh and tasty I seriously considered drinking the sauce. Also the desserts are delicious! Loved all of them. Can’t wait to go back! The menu changes frequently so every time it is a new experience.

Went out last night with a group of 6 women. We had an amazing time. From the moment we walked in, music playing was fantastic and a large table was waiting for us. Ordered drinks and every single one was fantastic. We ordered lots of food and every bite was delicious. We will definitely return!

Going to make the super easy and try not to sound like a pompous douche, however as a person that has traveled the world and lived/worked for over a decade in Manhattan... I've eaten out! Like nearly every night for nearly 20 years!As I'm in my 50's now, dining is no longer meant to simply appease my hunger, the experience supersedes all else... let's face it, food taste better when you know it's made with you as their sole focus!Chef, along with our servers Devin and Gianna were simply phenomenal!Do yourself a favor, trust the servers, trust Chef and allow yourself to embrace a true dining experience and allow them to take you on a pallet pleasing journey unlike something you won't experience elsewhere!Each course was a journey for my taste buds, the wine pairings were a perfect marriage and my friends/clients and I yearned for more!We went to Philly for a business, we built friendships thanks to Ember and Ash!Food is friendship and E&A wrote the playbook.
Food was outstanding! Great environment for south Philadelphia… sensational pasta dishes, people raved about the cook on the steak and the best burrata I have ever had…Great place for a business meeting as well
Shared dinner at the bar. The drinks were fantastic, even though we opted for zero proof for the night.We shared a few rounds of food. We started with the charcuterie board. Great blend of flavors with the toast finished over the flames.Then we enjoyed broccoli and wings followed by lobster risotto.The service was well timed and thoughtful.
Came here on a busy Friday night and left very happy! The food was excellent, the server had great recommendations and was very knowledgeable. The food was slow to come from the kitchen, but it was a really busy night. Stand out dishes were the beet agnoloti and octopus.

I had high hopes when I found out my girlfriend had made plans for us to have dinner here and boyyy, I was not let down. The beer selection was very diverse and the server paired one very nicely with the Ribeye. Great food ,great service and a wonderful night.

The food here is INCREDIBLE. We got oysters, broccoli, kung pow duck, the special spicy noodles, bread and butter, and crudo. The broccoli and the duck were especially stellar.The house cocktails are also amazing, and the service is impeccable. We came on a busy Saturday night and the bartender (working alone!!) never missed a beat. Very very impressive. The vibe is down to earth fine dining. Everyone is super professional and welcoming but there's no stuffy feeling at all.Highly recommend, and I can't wait to visit again.

Upscale and exquisite food, friendly staff, great cocktails. This is my favorite local bar. So elegant & comfortable. Most food is grilled over their wood fire (hence the name). Kale is an amazing bartender. Food service is quite fast.Not a dive bar at all.
