He really has done amazing things for the city and the food culture here-- as much as I sometimes hate to admit it :)<br /><br />I'd also recommend Butcher and Singer as a great steakhouse as well- less upscale than Barclay Prime but still quite an experience.<br /><br />Also- El Rey has the best happy hour food deals (you can fill up for $5 with delicious tacos) and Frankford Hall is all around awesome.A and Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704057714628496794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2151528697309366718.post-16945098247018569632012-11-02T14:28:36.324-04:002012-11-02T14:28:36.324-04:00Thanks for the thoughts, Robin.

Of course that's top of the list, but there's a lot more that goes into it from a business perspective. Right location, right atmosphere...

My husband and I stumbled upon it one night over a year ago with another couple when we couldn't get a table across the street at the wine bar (name is escaping me). We've been back half a dozen times since, and never have a bad experience. Love the homemade ricotta and, believe it or not, the braised celery entree is one of my favorite vegetarian dishes in town. <br />I read the Philadelphia Magazine piece yesterday. I didn't know just how influential Stephen Starr has been in helping to turn Philadelphia into the great dining city it is today. It makes me want to try more Starr restaurants. I don't feel as if I know enough to agree or disagree with the "brilliant innovator" label yet, though.Robin Shreeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10928183794322441640noreply@blogger.com
