I stumbled across this restaurant just walking around Philly for the very first time and decided to visit. The menu outside looked reasonable and I was hungry. I was seated at a small table and was instantly offered a menu, bread and water. The menu was a bit limited but when I asked for a suggestion between the steak and the pork the waitress said the pork was wonderful. I took her suggestion and tried to order some wine only to find out the place was a byob place. No big deal, they kept the water glass filled and the clients were entertaining. It looked to be a place for a romantic dinner or a place where groups of old friends got together for a special meal. I received my pork in about 15 minutes and was immediately impressed with the serving size (sometimes restraunts like this only give a little taste and this one had just the right size portion for a grown man but not too much). The pork itself was truly outstanding being perfectly cooked and seasoned. I eat out on business often and this was the best pork I believe I've ever had. The spatezle was flavored with bits of bacon and slices of poached cinnamon apples. It was an incredible combination together with its reduction sauce and I ate to complete satisfaction. This is the first time in several years that I've stumbled across food this good at a restraunt thus I'm writing my first review. Next time in Philly I'm definately coming back.
Pros: Fantastic food
Cons: Sitting very close to next table
