Enswell Philly - Review - Rittenhouse - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Enswell is a drop-dead gorgeous, European-inspired all day café and bar in Rittenhouse from the Rival Bros. team. During the day you’ll find locals popping in for lattes—it’s the chicest place in the neighborhood to work over almond croissants. But post-5pm the pop and soul music turns up, the lights go dim, and friends share drinks and snacks before heading elsewhere in the neighborhood for the main event. They have the right idea–the drinks, like the brown buttery Old Fashioned No. 2 and The Haymaker are excellent, and we love the spicy crab hashbrown. But service is consistently inconsistent, so you may wait upwards of 30 minutes for the disappointing (and very pricey) larger plates. photo credit: NICOLE GUGLIELMO photo credit: NICOLE GUGLIELMO photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo Pause Unmute" - Alison B.
