Sarah's Pick:
Hearing Jesse Ito and Justin Bacharach talk about their food-filled trip to Japan has me eager to visit (and revisit) dancerobot – and I can’t wait until they start brunch service!
This month …
Veteran restaurateurs are making moves. Highlights include the arrivals of new restaurants from Royal Sushi chef Jesse Ito and Palizzi Social Club‘s Joey Baldino, plus a speakeasy in the ‘burbs, and new raw bars in East Kensington and South Philly.
Dancerobot Rittenhouse
New opening!
Can’t snag a seat at Royal Sushi Omakase? Book Dancerobot for that Jesse Ito magic. For his second restaurant, the eight-time Beard nominee teamed up with chef Justin Bacharach for a high energy Japanese restaurant where comfort food classics meet playful drinks – think katsu curry at dinner, frozen cocktails and fancy sake at the bar, plus quality zero-proof options, too.
Jade Rabbit Wayne
New opening!
What was the Main Line’s prettiest new restaurant missing? An underground speakeasy. Now Maison Lotus has one — a hidden cocktail bar where drinks arrive under giant bubbles or wisps of smoke, alongside Asian-inspired snacks and larger plates like A5 Miyazaki wagyu.
Fleur's East Kensington
New opening!
In a sprawling former furniture store, Fleur’s makes a grand entrance: 140 seats, Art Deco glamour, and a rooftop bar on the horizon. Chef George Sabatino — a Philly favorite from Barbuzzo, Stateside, and Aldine — brings inventive flair and finesse to dishes like uni custard tartlets, beef tartare, and Parisian gnocchi.

Topside Tavern Rittenhouse Square
Well Crafted Lansdale
Uchi Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square
New opening!
James Beard Award winner Tyson Cole’s Austin original Uchi is on the move — and chose Philly for its first Northeast outpost. Kudos, and welcome to Rittenhouse. Book it for the stylish scene, the 10-course omakase, and modern takes on Japanese izakaya staples.
Tesiny Passyunk Square
New opening!
The only thing more surprising than Tesiny’s quiet residential street location is how stunning it is inside. Lauren Biederman — of Philly’s beloved smoked fish shop — went all in for her first full-service restaurant: an elegant oyster bar (and new Hit List addition) where a glowing open kitchen turns out shellfish plateaus and charcoal-grilled octopus under golden light.
