My
wife and I went out last night for our 1st weddding anniversary at
211 YORK
in Jenkintown. I heard that the chef formerly was a chef at Le Bec
Fin so my expectations were fairly high.
This was one of the best meals and experiences
either of us have had in years in any restaurant whether its in
Philly or the suburbs.
The wait staff were very sociable, friendly and
helpful without being overbearing or a nuisance. We felt like we
had our own personal butlers for the evening.
The menu was very traditional and had just enough
choices for everyone. The prices ranged from $18 to $30 for the
entrees and there were also a few appetizer choices, as well that
were moderately priced. I had one of the specials for the evening
which was the 16 oz Rib Eye lightly seasoned and with its own
natural juices as a sauce and was prepared medium well. This was
possibly one of the best and most flavorful steaks I have ever had.
I also ordered the mashed potatoes and when I ask
if they were prepared any special way my waiter replied "No,
They are just done right." I couldnt have said it better
myself. Just enough salt,pepper and butter and as fluffy and smooth
as you could ever hope for. These were the best mashed potatoes I
have ever had. My wife agrees as she had some of mine as they gave
me a huge helping of them.
We also shared an appetizer of crab ravioli in a
tomato pesto sauce that was also fabulous. No filler at all. Just
real jumbo lump crab meat and scallop.
And while I can't directly speak for my wife she
definitely seemed to enjoy her scallops au gratin entree as well.
We shared creme brulee for dessert and it was
scrumptous. Also one of the best creme brulees we have ever had.
A great dining experience that I highly recommend
you pursue!!!
