For over 30 years FSS has been a staple within the Philly restaurant scene. The ownership and staff have mostly been there from day one. The other evening your intrepid food critic ventured back after a hiatus.
The restaurant is cozy, dark, and warm. Tables on the ground level are tight, there is a little more room upstairs. The menu has had a few changes over the years but for the most part it has remained the same and for good reason. Although i did not order it the other evening the Duck may be the best in the city. The salads are also wonderful. Our group shared the beet salad, which was nice but a little short on the beets. We also got the asparagus with chunky tomato vinaigrette which was lovely and plentiful.
For my entree I ordered the bone in thick cut pork chop which was awesome. Grilled and served with a funky light colored sauce that had a peanut taste to it.
One of my companions had the fillet steak in a great tasting brown sauce that was simply perfect, well grilled, rich in color and so soft and smooth. A delicious steak.
One of the nicest thing about the restaurant is there wine list and their promise that no bottle is sold for more than $10.00 cost... The bill was mild with most entrees in the mid $20.00 range. I can highly recommend this wonderful just behind center city restaurant.
