We went to check it out on Friday evening.

It was nice to see a healthy crowd, short of a line out the door.

They've done a good job with the space. It looks much larger than the outside of the building would have you believe.

The good:

- half carafes of wine are perfect for a quick dinner for two
- the service surpasses most places we frequent in Phila
- as mentioned by others, the noise level is fine given the crowds
- the collard greens

The less-than-good (not outright bad, just weaker):

- the seafood cioppino was mostly pasta. The menu should note that it's a pasta dish. No other seafood cioppinos I've eaten contained pasta. The flavor was nice though.

All things considered, it's a solid place and a great addition to the neighborhood.

We'll go back.

Jason
