Looking to chow down on some New American fare? This spot has you covered. The newcomer to Fishtown, called Elwood, is located at 1007 Frankford Ave.
According to the restaurant's website, "Elwood's menu draws from local history. Chef Adam Diltz has looked to the Colonial, Federal and Victorian eras of the Philadelphia region for inspiration."
Expect rustic dishes that are both traditional and off-beat, such as catfish and waffles, turtle soup, ham pot pie and whole rabbit. Don't forget the wine — Elwood is BYOB. (See the full menu here.)
With a five-star rating out of eight reviews on Yelp so far, Elwood seems to be a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
Oren E., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on May 4, wrote, "Elwood is a true gem from a chef who clearly cares about his craft. This new upscale spin on the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition was unique and feels true to the neighborhood. We'll certainly be back."
And Ken P. wrote, "Wonderful experience at this new culinary gem. Very small but elegant space located in a row house. Service was top notch — all of the dishes were well-prepared and delicious."
Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Elwood is open from 5–10 p.m. on Tuesday-Saturday. (It's closed on Sunday and Monday.)
