Like I said, Craig R. written all over it!
Located in The Palazzo Hotel, First Food & Bar is large, dimly lit joint with a cool, relaxing vibe.
As you can tell from what I ordered above, this place is all about tricked out comfort foods. Everything we ate was amazing. EVERYTHING!
My favorite two items were the Doritos Mac (obviously) and the Main Line Philly. The Mac was super cheesy and flavorful and the Doritos gave it an extra cheesy, crispy element. The Philly was HUGE and delicious. The meat was so juicy and flavorful and the Foie gave it an extra, fatty, buttery taste. It was also covered in Foie mayo, sweet onions, balsamic glaze and Tartuffo Whiz, all of which made this one of the best tasting Philly's I've ever had, even though I had to eat it with a knife and fork. And I got to give a quick shout out to the Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/_ixV2SWDy7w8jzEAHp85qA?select=01F_4bCqJ9_EtE1fO9QSAw. It was fantastic.
My only beef with First Food is the pricing. I'm NEVER one to complain about the price of food, especially when it's amazing, but for five small (but super tasty) Philly Dumplings it was almost twenty bucks. The Main Line Philly was over thirty. Our entire bill was almost a hundred bucks (with tip and no beverages), which seemed a bit too much. The service is great though, so that's a plus.
Overall, I really, really enjoyed my experience at First Food & Bar. The food was outstanding, as was the service. I can't wait to go back and try some of their delicious sounding desserts.
