The Best Tasting Menus In Philly For Under $100 - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Messina is a 30-seat members-only club serving some of the most creative food and drinks in South Philly. For dinner, walk-ins can order a la carte, but the $95, six-course tasting menu is the way to go (and requires a reservation). The menu spans from small plates like silky poached scallops with apple or braised beef toast to the larger gemelli with pungent vadouvan and crispy Elysian lamb schnitzel. While the vibe is decidedly casual, every plate is thoughtfully and beautifully composed, making it the perfect balance for an impressive date or Saturday night with friends. Take our word for it—this is one club that’s actually worth the hype." - alison kessler, candis mclean
