Snackbar

Kirsten Henri enjoys the people watching at Rittenhouse Square’s Snackbar, but finds the food lacks “sensual pleasure.”

As far as I’m concerned, the people-watching and the liquor license are the real reasons to come to Snackbar. Chef John McDonald’s food—precious, avant-garde small plates at steep prices—isn’t much of a draw. While the composition of the dishes might intimidate you with their incorporation of molecular gastronomy techniques and arty presentation, I’ve yet to be dazzled by the flavors of any of them during multiple visits.
