Had a facial here a few weeks ago with Allison? I can't remember her name which is terrible but it started with an A. I was waiting to post a review til some time had passed cos with me facials tend to "do their magic" a few weeks later. Well, my skin is noticeably improved. I started using a new regimen she had prescribed for me at home which seems to be helping also. This was my first time here at thalia so I can't say anything for the salon part but the facial area was like a hidden gem. I had no idea they even had this part of the salon, you wouldn't be able to tell just from walking by. Its a whole seperate area with curtains and a relaxing atmosephere. I don't get facials often but when I do I will be back here. 5 stars!
Pros: my skin
Cons: not really

My experiences with Philadelphia salons over the years have been lukewarm. Having worked with a top stylist in the salon industry for a number of years, my expectations are high.
Chris Harrison never disappoints, he is the real deal...talented and professional.
My color is always perfection. Chris even called me at home a few days before my wedding to make sure that I loved my hair.
Best of all, Chris makes it fun!
Pros: fabulous color
Cons: none

One of my favorite places in Philly. I say "places" rather than hair salons, because I leave Ultra feeling better not just about my hair but about life in general. The atmosphere is kitschy-cool and impeccably clean, they play music good enough for the stylists to sing to, they serve coffee in mugs with images that change as they cool, and Sharon and Kristen have incredibly positive outlooks on life. Of course, they also do great hair. I've gone to Kristen three times and she gives my straight hair the perfect amount of layering and angles (enough to give it body and style without it looking too funky - which is exactly what I ask for).
Pros: love thats in my neighborhood!
Cons: cash only- no cards

I've eaten here over a dozen times and I still love it as much as the first. If you're going to dine here, get the omakase and be sure to get the $120 because the $80 one will just get you the pedestrian stuff you see on the menu. I was here last night and the place was packed (on a wednesday!). If I didn't make my reservation for 8:15 I would've had to make it for 9:30 as all the spots were booked. I love the toro tuna tartare, the yellowtail carpaccio, the oysters, the kampachi salad, the 8 spice lobster, the kobe beef sirloin, the sushi, and even my apricot pound cake. Yeah, can you tell this is what I had last night? Awesome awesome!!! Five stars all the way.
Pros: the food
Cons: very noisy

The lower level wine cellar eating area is so warm and inviting, yet is classy and sophisticated at the same time. The food is prepared expertly and the table side Caesar salad presentation is entertaining with a most delicious result. This is a great place for an anniversary or other very special meal. Try the Salmon Granato for a different and delicious treat!

I'd never been to this restaurant and was invited to attend a surprise birthday for a friend. A party bus picked us all up in Maryland where we live and took us for the hour drive to Bistro Romano.
I have some photos posted here on my blog but Citysearch does not permit me to post the URL. You can see them perhaps by googling Chronicles of a Country Girl super fun happy (it's what I named the post).
A section had been reserved for our party of 22, downstairs near the intimate wine cellar room. We were given a set menu to order from and I chose the Chicken Putanesca. My only complaint is that the caesar salad, so widely touted, was very much on the wilted side with too much dressing. The flavor was still incredible but it was just a tad disappointing. The Putanesca was divine, as were the roasted vegetables. We enjoyed a layered birthday cake and the coffee was excellent. One of the best cups of coffee I've been served in a restaurant, quite frankly. The atmosphere was unique. Superior service.
Pros: Ambiance, service, meal

I first arrived at TBK in early September, when I moved back to the city, based on the recommendation of a close friend. I was promptly greeted by a super friendly and energetic receptionist (Mira) who seemed eager to meet me right from the get go. Shortly after, I was introduced to (Biljana) my aesthetician who entered the room in the same fashion. In addition to being eager to meet me she was also eager to get my treatment underway. After patronizing various other places in the city I would say that the level of service was right up there with what I have received in the past from A.B. and far surpassed the previous treatments from Topp***.
Recently, after much debate, I decide to incorporate a hair treatment into my regular TBK regimen. I was hesitant at first because hair has only recently been added; but all my doubts were pushed aside when my stylist (Julian) came in prior to my service just to meet me and get to know my hair on a more personal level! To sum it up in four words ‘it was exactly what I needed.’ I couldn’t have been more pleased with the cut, the color and the education I received while he was doing it. To anyone who has never been to TBK you are surely missing out. Though small, this ‘urban retreat’ is just that. Leave the worries and bustle of the city behind when you walk through the door and be prepared to be pampered!
Pros: Great service and friendly staff
