The culinary gods smile on Phyllis Stein-Novack at The Farm and Fisherman
If you know the South Philly Review's Phyllis Stein-Novack you probably know that she's not willing to dole out four tips of the toque (the paper's highest restaurant rating) to just anyone. But in this week's paper she's more than willing to award them to Josh Lawler's The Farm and Fisherman (1120 Pine St.)
With husband Edward in tow PSN settled into the Pine Street BYO with bottles of Muscadet and Bordeaux. She was immediately pleased with the not overly soft lighting allowed her to read the menu and admire the food on her plate.
The meal started off well with Parker House rolls and butter and continued on with a vibrant and satisfying mushroom app. Spanish mackerel and sweetbreads hit the mark and a plate of tagliatelle with pork belly and truffles allowed ingredients to sing in harmony without fuss.
A few days before dinner at The Farm and Fisherman PSN had a hankering for venison and Lawler's was a masterpiece of flavor and texture. A fennel pollen-dusted rack of pork, an apple tart, A plus service and a commitment to supporting local farms all lead to PSN awarding The Farm and Fisherman a whopping four tips of the toque.
