MIDTOWN VILLAGE (WPVI) -- On the edge of Midtown Village, new hotspot Savu is the latest from owner Kevin Dolce, a newcomer on the Philly dining scene, with Hi-Def Hospitality, the group behind Taste Cheesesteak Bar. Savu also has a DJ, and you can partake in smoking shisha, also known as 'Dubai tobacco'.

The two-level space features an open kitchen, two bars, and a retractable roof. The cuisine is New American, with dinner dishes like jerk barbecue beef short ribs, grilled whole branzino, herb-crusted grilled lamb chops, and a lobster dish with house-made pasta filled with roasted pureed carrots.

The brunch menu includes specialties like the best-selling seafood and grits, and all the brunch faves done up with flair to match the upscale vibe of the scene.
