Russet, the Farm-to-Table BYOB in Rittenhouse, to Close This Summer

Kristin and Andrew Wood announced Monday they’re closing Russet, their intimate seven-year-old BYOB set in an elegant building at 1521 Spruce Street in Rittenhouse. But there’s still time for a farewell meal: The last day is Sunday, June 30.

The Woods met working in a restaurant in Boston and then cooked “across the country,” as they note in an email about the impending closure. “When we decided to open our own place, we knew Philadelphia was where we wanted to be,” they wrote, adding: “We’ve been lucky and successful ... here in this historic, charming, growing city. We’re thankful for the bounty of Pennsylvania, which solely informed our kitchen credo and nightly menus.”

More from the chef couple:

We want to thank our guests and friends who have joined us for dinner, brunch or a memorable event over the past seven years at Russet. It’s been a pleasure serving our honest, straightforward food in Philadelphia. We believe every restaurant has its life span.

Ahead of the closing, they plan to host a series of dinner at Russet with fellow chefs and purveyors. Make reservations at the website or at (215) 546-1521.
