Peek at Rittenhouse Tavern
Took a quick spin through the fast-approaching Rittenhouse Tavern yesterday — the Restaurant Associates-helmed restaurant in the Art Alliance (251 S. 18th St.) is polishing up for a Tuesday, April 24 public debut. Run in front and back of house by Dan Elliott and Nicholas Elmi respectively, the Tavern is hoping to wedge into that very specific upscale-casual niche once lorded over in this neighborhood by Brasserie Perrier and Striped Bass — not stuffy or stilted, but dead serious about its food and drink. As you can see from the pics, no starched tablecloths, just pretty wood and mod banquettes throughout the multi-room concept. And R'house al fresco addicts will surely be geeked over the Tavern's flower-framed outdoor patio, accessible both through the main Alliance entrance on 18th and a gate along the building's park-facing side. Hearing that management is toying with the idea of teasing out impromptu happy hour-type events for this open-air space via Twitter.
