  • Came here for our anniversary. Started with a fine cocktail, well designed gin with fresh dehydrated ginger called a Muddle- a great open. First it should be noted that a very drunk panhandler entered the restaurant and led the house in a chant of Let's Go Pens! before being showed to the door. It made me well aware of the economic divide that is part of the Penn Avenue neighborhood transition. We waited for 20 minutes at the bar where people graciously made room for us and we were perfectly seated in a great window table for dinner- I was already in a good place having discovered a great drink and was eager for an amazing meal. Ordering at Spork is participatory by checking a paper menu with a pencil- it was a fun way to order. For the record, sporks are on the table with forks, knifes and spoons. We put ourselves in the hands of the waitstaff and ordered what they recommended with the exception of two of our calls: Ceviche and an order of lentil meatballs. We loved the recommended goat cheese in a jar and the grilled romaine salad to start. Our first OK dish arrived in the form of the lentil meatballs. They were dry, luke warm, fried and edible but not great. Next we had the recommended Chestnut Gnocchi-these were better than the meatballs but not worth the big fuss that the staff made. Unfortunately, although we had not been served all we ordered, we were approach about desserts and only when we inquired about our missing dish did it arrive.The final dish of our meal was a coffee crusted steak which was also highly recommended by the wait staff. This dish was a bright spot of our dinner and ended everything on a super high note. Although the staff was nice- I did not feel like they cared about making our evening special- they did write on the check Happy Anniversary but nothing more - a simple something would have been appropriate - the real slight came as the chef who was working the tables didn't even check in on our table. Over all the cocktail was a plus, the food is very good and the ambiance is nice. The food was creatively prepared and carefully presented right down to the the edible chive blossom - I am looking forward to coming back and trying other dishes- I have a strange positive feeling that our next meal will be better than our first. My expectations were just too high, the service was not dead on for our special night and we picked a couple of near misses to offset three spectacular home runs.
