Other than Goldie, this is my first interaction with a Solomonov restaurant and I can't wait to get to more of them for special occasions and top tier hospitality. I like their wine list a lot and while I enjoyed my cocktail on it's own, a glass of red wine would have really made the meal more indulgent and coherent. My only regret is ordering a cocktail instead of a glass of wine. We went brown sugar soft serve and I forced myself to get through more than half of it, but was SO full. The koobideh is unmissable and I was impressed by my boyfriend's ability to put together the most beautiful bites (meat + pita + a little hummus + tahini + onion = genius). Truly, I can't recommend this course of action enough. For our mains, my boyfriend and I opted to go meat heavy with the koobideh and sirloin. Standard favorites like the hummus and kale eggplant dish were also stunners. Surprise hit for me? Smokey, marinated beets. I enjoyed every single salatim dish and it's obvious the team here works hard to get flavor profiles JUST right. Other than that, sit down and get ready for an amazing night. 5) Take note of the automatically added 20% service charge. I found there to be plenty of room for all dishes, drinks, boxes, salatim, etc. 3) Chef's counter is amazing for a group of two. 2) Use Resy notify to get in, but you need to be lightning fast once you get the notification - especially if you're hoping to dine during peak times. Expect to spend anywhere between $60-$120 per person all in, depending on appetite and money spent at the bar. Brass tacks FAQ: 1) You're paying for the entire experience built into your entree price. I was lucky enough to dine at the Chef's Counter for the first time last week and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. That's just another reason why we love Laser Wolf, and why our speech keeps getting longer by the day.Another human being saying that Laser Wolf is excellent?! Ground breaking. It’s also a great spot for vegetarians because, thanks to the excellent salatim, you can come here and not have to worry about getting that sad broccoli dish or a dry veggie burger that looks like it’s made out of sponge.

That being said, you should save it for a birthday or a special occasion where nobody cares too much about having to pay $50 for mains. Outside of the servers rocking Hawaiian-style shirts, you can tell from the paper lanterns dangling from the ceiling and neon signs on the wall that this is a place where you can hang out with some friends and not take things too seriously. And always end your meal with the creamy brown sugar soft serve that’s so creamy that we’d eat even it when the temperature dips below freezing. When you come with a bunch of your friends or a handful of strangers you bribed because switching your preference to six guests got you an earlier reservation, go for the large branzino filled with ginger and tomatoes for $112. One of them is the tuna shishlik, which consists of thick juicy cubes of fish with perfect grill lines-all smothered in a peppery chile-based sauce. Outside of the tray of starters, there are a few other things you should order, or you’ll have deep regrets watching other tables dive in. And like Zahav, they have the fluffiest pita and best hummus in town. It’s pretty much the best paint palette ever, but instead of a bunch of acrylics, you get vegetables served to you in a way that makes you feel like you’re tasting them for the first time. This Kensington restaurant comes from the same team behind Zahav, so it’s no surprise you’ll start your night here with about a dozen vegetable-based mezze like stewed beets and sweet pears, pickled celery root, and bright green gigante bean piyaz all tossed into some small metallic cups. The most important thing we want to relay to you is this: a meal at Laser Wolf will be one of the most memorable you can have in Philly. Simply, there are just too many things we love about this open-air spot. But we're sure that somewhere between 'and thank you to the sizzling chicken, babganoush, and buttery pita,' we'd start hearing the music to play us off. Except, in this case, we would just be rattling off everything we love about this restaurant. The stirred-and-strong Creole, made with both bourbon and rum, is bracing and surprisingly nutty, served over a pristine cube stamped with an alligator logo. Our review for this Israeli grill could probably take a similar form to an Oscar speech where the actor lists off every important moment in their career. At this New Orleans-themed newcomer, a full page of Sazerac-inspired drinks seems about right.
