"This place used to be a full restaurant with brunch and dinner service called Root, but then it closed down, brainstormed a bit, and decided to reopen as R&D doing solely what they did best the first time - cocktails. It’s much better this way, and after a heavy pasta meal surrounded by people whose ancestors have lived in Philly since the Revolutionary War, sitting at a dark two-top here with a couple of good (if a bit expensive) cocktails is the way you want to end your night." - sydney mcelwee
