Phyllis Stein-Novack checks in at Growlers
The South Philly Review's Phyllis Stein-Novack wastes no time getting to Growlers.
Phyllis Stein-Novack checks in at Growlers
The paint is barely dry at Bella Vista's new beer bar Growlers (736 S. 8th St.) but that didn't stop longtime South Philly Review restaurant critic Phyllis Stein-Novack from weighing in on the new beer bar and she's smitten.
Back when the Philadelphia gastropub scene was in its infancy seeing duck confit on The Standard Tap's menu almost knocked PSN off her stool and years later she's pleased with how this this style of elevated bar fare has evolved.
According to Stein-Novack the potato chips and bacon dip is a must-have along with mussels (plump and squeaky clean), "tasty and unusual" brussels sprouts and a crab-studded red quinoa salad. Always particular about her cocktail order, she was pleased with her Bombay martini.
Three tips of the toque from Phyllis Stein-Novack is making us thing that a trip over to Growlers should happen sooner rather than later.
