Nestled on the vibrant corner of 941 Spruce Street in Philadelphia’s Washington Square West neighborhood, Known Associates is the latest culinary venture from Michelin-recommended chef Christopher Kearse of Forsythia. Inspired by the natural pairing of exceptional drinks and satisfying food discovered in Milan, this dynamic upscale-casual destination breathes new life into the local cocktail scene. The menu highlights sophisticated, European-inspired plates thoughtfully designed to play a central role alongside an inventive and elevated beverage program, rather than merely acting as an afterthought. The interior, envisioned by design firm PS & Daughters, masterfully trades minimalism for a mood of well-worn opulence. Known Associates balances the energy of a chic neighborhood bar with the intimate charm of a hidden lounge, making it the perfect spot for deep conversation or a long, rewarding night out.

    A Spectacular Fusion of Melt-in-Your-Mouth Sushi and World-Class Steak. Umami Steak and Sushi Bar is an absolute must-visit. I started my meal with the miso black cod, which was fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor. For the main course, the Koji-aged steak cooked tableside was tender, rich, and easily among the best steak I've had. Combined with the chef's selection of ultra-fresh sushi and real wasabi, every single dish exceeded expectations. The atmosphere is cozy and upscale, and the staff made the experience feel special. I will definitely be back!
