The Pickled Heron -opens!

It's really open? I thought it was a practical joke.

This place sounds pretty upscale for the hood hope it does well nice to have something different

I want to hear from someone who actually put a piece of food in their mouths.
I still say its a mirage.

than Jovan's. I might have to try it, just on principle.

What? A french restaurant without fuagra? Blasphemy.

See the last entry under Small Plates, sir.

All i see if foie gras. What's that nonsense?

We ate dinner there tonight. Seriously amazing. I can't say enough good things about this place -- the service was great, the food was excellent, etc., etc. And it was technically the opening night, so I thought something would go wrong....but it didn't. I had escargot and then the sweet potato gnocchi. My husband had the French onion soup and the lamb. I really can't offer any criticisms. Even the bread and butter were homemade.

Homemade butter? Wow.

yum, I am excited to try this place out and wish them the best luck

might have to check it out on Thursday

Wanted to give this place another plug. I had the sweet potato gnocchi there tonight. It was incredible.

Went tonight with wifey. I had lamb; she, beef. Delicious. Service was excellent. Decor, curious.

Sweet potato gnocchi sounds good. I think I'll make some myself.

I'm assuming its a BYOB? Oui?

yup. BYOB. My beer looked funny in a wine glass though.

Went there on Friday. Agree that the gnocchi were very good, as was the French onion soup! Onion flatbread was delicious, but the salad it came on seemed oversalted. We also got the skate and that wasn't our fav. So seems not 100% to me quite yet, but definitely willing to try it again.

sounds like the best course at this french restaurant is the italian one.

Anyone try the desserts? My wife and I have reservations for this weekend (her birthday)--Was curious to hear what anyone else thought?

Lemon upsidedown cake was superb, but definitely needs a nice wine to go with it and tone down the sweetness.

Closed tonight! Dan it!!!

I went there last week. I thought it was strange that they give you 1 little piece of bread each instead of a basket lol Small portions but the food was great!

I thought it was one of the best meals of my life. only downside is that it's kind of center city prices in Fishtown. don't know how well that will go over.
