Forsythia - Philadelphia

Consistently one of the most underrated restaurants in the city. Menu features creative flavor pairings that are always surprisingly delicious (like corn and cheese beignets or escargot w bergamot and pickled pearl onions). Prices are reasonable and wait staff are fun. Great

Loved the decor and ambiance. Unfortunately, I think our server forgot about us as we were waiting 40-45 minutes between our second and third course. When I asked when our entree was meant to arrive, she was taken aback. This was pretty concerning and made me think, “is this a typical wait for all guests?”

Verdict: RecommendedLove the interiors and staff were awesome!Food was good and reasonably priced. I do like the space and the interiors. Overall a pleasant dining experience.

We had an exceptionally good Restaurant Week dinner, where they offered their best (expensive ingredients and al). Our servers were professional, pleasant, very well informed and fun, without being intrusive or overly chatty. Someone is doing very good training there. Dinner was a standout.....and each dish was superbly served, garnished and elegant. We will definitely go back for a no-Restaurant Week meal. The place bills itself as kind of French with a modern take--but it felt only slightly French and mostly hip, trendy and very good. There were a few French touches on the menu but the decor and menu were just good but not all that French. But the overall experience was first rate!

Opted for the tasting menu and ended up with every individual small plate we wanted to try! Savory beignets and desserts were a standout, as was the skate wing. Don't hesitate here .. anything you think you will like, you will love.
