| - Why dine when you can nibble?
Six Penn is by the theaters. They're hoping you're a visiting tourist. You're too tired to walk to the strip. Let's face it, this place has location location location, hence the hefty price tag ($16-$33 per entree) and swanky decor. That being said, they've also got some pretty good grinds for the average Joe in jeans and a leather jacket.
The upstairs roof bar had $5-$7 appetizers and drink specials, but the food was downsized and focused on the greasy (think tempura fried mini hot dogs) Do we really need to make pigs in a blanket sound fancy schmancy? Can't we just give into guilty pleasure and enjoy?
Instead, sit with the suits and do like we did:
Share a salad - No cost to split the beet and goat cheese salad with balsamic reduction. Watch out for the red peppercorns mixed in with the goat cheese - these could use a finer grind.
Have a daily soup - $5 for a good sized bowl of sweet potato soup. Great spice, drizzled with creme fresh and chives. Almost tasted like it had some peanuts in it. Definitely the highpoint of the evening.
Get more bread - their garlic foccacia is really garlicky!!! Who needs butter? Well maybe just a little bit :)
Order up some sides - We had the soft pretzels which had a little herb, rock salt and Parmesan to set off the whole seed mustard. Yummy. We also tried the homemade kim chee, but this came surprising mixed with brown rice. This is not Hawaii style kim chee fried rice, but kim chee mixed with rice. Bleh. The kim chee would have been better served alone, it has a nice sour flavor (not authentic) but also packs some heat which I like. Mac n. cheese was OK. Baked on top and saucy on the bottom. Not for mac n' cheese purists. Asparagus with Parmesan was just over cooked, but I blame the waiter who left our food on the line for over 10 minutes.
Under $20 a head and couldn't finish everything on the table. Overall, our experience was mixed. Some menu items are really inventive like the buffalo chicken mac n' cheese with Gorgonzola and the burger on cornbread bun with cilantro mayo and a grilled chili. But based on what we ordered and other yelpers, I bet they can be hit or miss. Our neighbors had the pizza appetizer (small) and didn't hardly touch their calamari.
Better advice - go for a drink, order something to nibble, enjoy some swank time in the city and grab a burger on the way home.
