An amazing experience from end to end!I'll be honest, I had mixed feelings about the pre fixe menu. I loved the idea of checking my stomach at the door and allowing the chef to do their thing. On the other hand, would I like it? Would it meet my growing expectations on FSS?The answer was, in spite of significant hype and exceedingly high expectations, absolutely amazing. The only things you need to think about with regards to FSS is when you'd want to make a reservation and what cocktail(s) you might want along with your meal!

Finally got to try out Friday Saturday Sunday and overall had a good time, but wasn't blown away. Service was solid throughout and the drinks we tried were all tasty. My issue is that, when compared with other similar multi course options in Philly at the same price range, I wasn't impressed with the food. Everything was prepared perfectly fine, but overall dishes were either on the blander side (such as the fish and desserts) or odd (such as the sweetbread). The tortellini was fantastic though and a standout.Would I come back? Sure, if friends wanted to go. But there are other prix fixe restaurants I prefer in Philly at the moment.

The atmosphere was good but the food was overrated. The chef is obsessed with putting foams on too many dishes. I’m sorry but I felt like I was on an episode of Top Chef in 2011. Not a good look for a supposed top restaurant in the US.
Three hours of the tasting menu FLEW BY with our waiter Daniel (ask for him). Can’t go wrong with the wine pairing, detailed story behind each of the these conveys a unique culinary experience. Definite James Beard worthy - kudos to Nikki & Hannah for their

Wow, wow, wow! What a way to close out the year! At $165, this tasting menu was a steal. In terms of flavors alone, Fri Sat Sun compares favorably against the $250-300 two Michelin star tier. I found Fri Sat Sun more enjoyable because the cooking’s got personality; it doesn’t have the homogeneity and sterility that comes with hunger for stars.Every single dish was designed to impress with big bold flavors, many with enticing aromas. Inspiration came from all parts of the world. Some bites felt Caribbean, some Japanese, some Chinese, some Italian—you get the idea.A few dishes felt inspired by Northeastern fine dining’s greatest hits, but turned entirely into FSS’s own original creations.The crudo, at first glance, is Gabriel Kreuther’s signature dish, a sabayon tart. It has been hybridized with the raw fish tartlet that’s in every single tasting menu nowadays. (Confession: it’s my fine dining PSL. It’s so basic but I love it anyway.) I prefer this over GK’s.The sweetbreads course felt familiar: the sticky fluffy texture of the egg yolk sauce… ah, yes, Aska’s signature langoustine dish! The flavor profile is entirely different, but that addicting mouthfeel of the sauce is recognizable (though Aska still does it better).The steak dish made me wonder if I accidentally walked into an alternate universe where Aquavit were Caribbean instead of Nordic cuisine. And then they poured the allium broth packed with dried shrimp—is China part of the Caribbeans in this alternate universe?I am not implying plagiarism or copycatting. Any art form (which fine dining is) must take inspiration from others’ work and build upon it. It was very fun to experience the re-imagining of others’ signatures. Besides those three, the other dishes did not bring other restaurants to mind. This meal was such a fun journey.Cocktails were excellent with proper chill and dilution. I like bitter herbal flavors so my choices were similar in feel. The Carte Blanche is my favorite of the three for its bright acidity.Service was attentive. The meal was slightly unevenly paced, but who cares when the food’s this tasty.

FSS is a must-try if you’re into the Philly food scene. It is quite a price tag and the majority of that cost is going to the culinary technique; the presentations are on the simpler end and there aren’t extreme exotically, innovative combinations. The food is overall exceptional though. The ambiance is nice but it was just a tad too damn dark!

I debated writing this review but after viewing that I am not the only customer with a service dog who was treated this way I think it’s important that I share this to highlight the pattern this restaurant clearly has in poorly treating its customers with disabilities requiring service animals. I’m a person with a disability and was made to feel unwelcome when I arrived. My service dog was wearing his vest which clearly states he is a service animal. The hostess when I entered gave me a sour look and told me dogs weren’t allowed. Her tone was unmistakably condescending, implying how could I be stupid enough to bring a pet to the restaurant? Not all disabilities are visible, and not all of us are going to call every single restaurant we visit before we go to notify them of our disability. It is customary to simply verify if an animal is a trained service dog, instead of assume it is not and try to turn disabled patrons away upon arrival. The majority of establishments I visit are inclusive and respectful about this without issue.Given this is not a one time occurrence this establishment seems to be ableist and non-inclusive and I will not recommend it nor return.
Spectacular meal! Staff is killer, music is on point, drinks and wine list are equally excellent. Highly recommend.
