My spouse and I dined at Six Penn Kitchen for Sunday brunch in late
October 2012. We had dined at Six Penn years ago for dinner, but we were
sharing plates with another couple and did not feel that we could
freely order the menu items that we really wanted. In the summer months,
Six Penn Kitchen has an outdoor rooftop terrace that is open at night.
The kitchen area is open, which provides a nice lively vibe to the
main-floor restaurant space. (There is additional seating in the bar and
in an area on the second floor.) Six Penn Kitchen is owned by the same
restaurant group that owns the Eat ‘n Park chain, but this restaurant
has an upscale bistro atmosphere with interesting food (we reviewed
another of the restaurants holdings, The Porch at Schenley, separately
and favorably). The restaurant is open for lunch (weekdays only), dinner
(Monday through Saturday), and Sunday brunch. Six Penn Kitchen uses the
Open Table reservation system, although you can also call or walk in.
The
brunch menu is excellent (even though we are not usually
breakfast-eaters) with unique items such as deviled eggs, beignets,
breakfast spring rolls, bacon grits, and tempura-fried bacon. The brunch
menu also features sandwiches, soups, and salads, in addition to the
usual eggs and pancakes.
Service was great; all the staff worked well
together to serve as many customers as possible in the appropriate time
frame. (There was a Steelers game that day, so it was evident that all
the patrons were all going to the game.)
Based on our brunch experience, we would love to try Six Penn again for dinner.
