And the acknowledgements just keep on coming for the Philadelphia Restaurant industry. And the winner this time is Sbraga Restaurant! Sbraga Restaurant, located at the base of the Symphony House, was just recognized by Esquire Magazine as one of the nation’s best restaurants of 2012.
Here’s what Esquire had to say about Sbraga Restaurant:
Sbraga Restaurant – “At a time when a few media-fueled chefs believe their customers’ discomfort is a way of “challenging” them, Kevin Sbraga regards his clientele as guests who deserve genial respect for choosing to dine at his place. The room is high-ceilinged and sleek, but you’re greeted with warmth. You are then served a four-course dinner you won’t soon forget for the remarkable price of forty-nine dollars, which could easily buy you less food at a mediocre restaurant in New York or Dallas or Miami. How does Sbraga do it? Backward. “Everywhere else I’ve worked, they decided on what they wanted to serve, then set the price,” he says. “Here we decided on the price first, then figured out what we could offer without sacrificing creativity or quality.” That last phrase — “without sacrificing creativity or quality”–is the important part, and it’s why you need a chef of Sbraga’s ability if you want to pull off the reverse equation he is solving so thrillingly.”
