Water Works, Owner Michael Karloutsos' Old-School American With A View, Fairmount

[monavano]

Anyone have any good suggestions for a lunch spot within easy walking distance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art?

Heading up to Philly on Friday for a weekend of wedding festivities and going to hit the museum before we can check in to our hotel.  Since time will be tight really just looking to dump the car near/at the museum and then get lunch.

The leading candidate is the Belgium Cafe (owned by the Monk folks).  Any other suggestions near the meseums or in the Fairmount neighborhood?

The Water Works Restaurant is right there. I've never been, and you know what they say about restaurants with views, but it might be worth researching reviews since the area isn't exactly chock-a-block full of walkable places to eat.
