"This tasting-menu-only, two-story Rittenhouse spot has a party scene at their first-floor bar and a more formal dining space upstairs. For $155 per person, you’ll probably eat some type of crudo with caviar, crispy sweetbreads with tender plantain, and a juicy New York strip that we’ve seen come with cabbage and oxtail. Unlike most New American places in the city that have a similar menu, though, each dish at Friday Saturday Sunday is so perfectly executed that you’ll only want every tartare, pasta, or steak cooked their way from now on. Plus, when your meal ends, you can just head downstairs to their lively bar, have a few cocktails, and keep the celebrations going. Reservations are released at 10am on the first of the month for the following month. Try that to book the tasting menu experience upstairs, or just claim you’re Rihanna's distant relative and hope for the best. FSS's downstairs bar is walk-in only, and it fills up around 5pm every day. Stop by for a drink and some snacks while you brainstorm an alternate celebrity to namedrop when Rihanna doesn’t land you a table." - candis mclean, alison kessler
