This Asian-tinged American bistro in Olde City Philadelphia features an atmosphere of simple elegance with warm yellow walls, hand-painted hanging light shades, and mirrored walls. Locally farmed produce and seasonal ingredients are used in creating the interesting menu, which has included things like grilled garlic-crusted porterhouse with mashed boniato and pan-seared mustard seed-dusted salmon with black beans and collard greens. The restaurant also runs Fork: etc. next door, a cafe serving light fare and take-out and selling a number of gourmet products like sauces, jams, and oils.
