Clementine's Passyunk Ave. South Philly
Stylish French bistro in the heart of Little Italy complete with huge menu blackboard on the wall won our hearts on walking in when they sat us at a seldom seen square table for 8. Civil seating with plenty of elbow room as you reach to give table mates a taste of yours. Escargot topped with golden mille feuille were a bit smal but tender and I'd like to say they were delicious except for a total lack of garlic, though garlic butter is indicated on the menu. This had to be not so much bad cooking as it was simply forgotten. It can happen! The portion of wild mushroom pasta appears precious at first but there is no empty feeling after 5 or 6 forksful of this perfectly rich dish. Service though not seasoned, solicitous and attentive. Minimal adornment in pretty room set off by beautiful color scheme.
