| - My girlfriend suggested we try this place as it was new in her neighborhood and I obliged.
Let's start with the atmosphere and staff. The building is newly renovated with a modern yet antique trend that follows Lawrenceville and has plenty of large flat screen TV's to satisfy during sporting events. No objections there. The staff were extremely friendly. We also went at 9PM (kitchen closes at 10), and the waitress was fully attentive and didn't slack off as an end of the night type thing.
The drinks. Didn't get any as we were both tired from the gym, but they had a solid selection. Have seen bigger, but since this place just opened I'm assuming they may add in more options or update their main draft options every week. Good selection of craft, domestic, and liquor though.
The food. VERY good. I had the City Chicken Sandwich and my girlfriend had the Southwest Chicken Wrap. The city chicken was a fried pork tenderloin with gouda, carmelized onions with a spicy mustard sauce on a flaky bun. Came out piping hot and the breading for the "fried" portion was great. That's another thing, as I said it was late, but the food didn't look like it was a last ditch effort and sat out before plating. My gf's southwest chicken was almost better than mine. Myriad of flavor in it, and the fries with both were good as well.
All in all, try Pint's on Penn. It's a nice welcome addition and I think they are hitting on all of the right marks. Good service, good chef, and good drinks. Can't really go wrong.
