Very prompt on seating us upon our arrival no wait...which was great since this was a birthday dinner celebration. Great wine list but the wine we did order said the year 07 on the menu but our bottle was 05...didn?t bother too mention since we already started to drink it.
The service was impeccable very attentive.We started w/mushroom soup which was the best part of the meal.the entree were the small plate of filet mignon med rare and def was not cooked med rare more med to well. Again didn't complain because it was my guest b'day also since I already had my meal she didn?t want to send it back to have them cook another cause of the time. I ordered the rack of lamb which was cooked accurately but lacked taste such as salt & pepper (very bland) but to the eye the plate looked pleasant. The au gratin potatoes made up the taste. Molten cake microwaved...not good.
Pros: The service, ambiance, wine prices, mushroom soup.
Cons: entrees

We went after a business meeting to decompress and were able to have a personal conversation, Happy Hour deals on beer, and a $4 appetizer of Hummus with cucumber, carrot, celery and toast. When we needed to get the laptop out to handle unfinished business, we went to one of three table-tops and had even more privacy. We had another round of drinks, finished our work, and stayed for dinner - incredible Caribbean Ribeye and Ravioli, French Onion soup with homemade bread and clear, fresh, ice water.
Pros: Small upstairs bar where you can have a conversation
Cons: What are the drawbacks?

I am a big fan of the tank bar. It is an off-the-beaten-track, great ambience, put together, but low kind of place, but I was there the other night discussing with my girlfriend a rather painful family dispute related to an inheritance, when the bartender buts into the conversation and says "It sounds likel you guys are a bunch of spoiled brats!".
Who does that? It is a small intimate bar, and the bartender is inevitably going to hear conversations when it is quiet, but I didn't think it gave him license to insult me. Frankly, I thought the Tank Bar was the last place that would happen...

I read the recent review that was posted on Citysearch regarding the poor service recieved from your bartender. I do not know this person, but do know that everytime I dine at Friday Saturday Sunday my wife and I get nothing but the BEST service there. We also like to come in on Tuesdays just so we can have a couple of drinks at the Tank Bar and see Bridget. She has always been very sweet to us and does not ignore anyone who sits at her bar. In fact, she makes it a point to stike up conservations with all of her devoted customers. We will be very disappointed if she is let go. My wife and I will have to look for another Tuesday spot.
Pros: Excellent food and a friendly staff
Cons: Parking

On Citysearch, I posted a review about having drinks upstairs with regards to the snarling pretentious bartender. I also posted the same exact review on Yelp (another online review web site). Through Yelp, I received an email from the owner letting me know the bartender is no longer there. I wrote an update on Yelp and I commented that I appreciated that my review was taken seriously. And I am updating my Citysearch review as well. I wanted to mention that I received a prompt response from Fri Sat Sun's owner about my unfavorable visit to his restaurant. I will give them another shot.
Pros: location

In a city where I think you have to shine, This place has lost it's luster. Shame on whoever is hiring the staff. Service was slow and food was at best average. We thought that a Tuesday night would be perfect for a quiet night out. On a positive note, the wine was great and we are big fans of the desert menu. After dinner we went upstairs for a drink and not only did the bartender ignore us as we sat down, I am pretty certain that she had one too many herself. Couldn't get her attention for a second drink so I just left money on the bar and left. We were made to feel as if we were intruding in someones home.
Time to clean house I think.
Pros: Love the cafe style and desert menu
Cons: Poor staff and attitude to customers

This cozy restaurant won't disappoint you! Go to the second floor to experience the Tank Bar. It's dark, cozy, and romantic; a great date place! One of my fondest memories is going there on a really cold, icy, winter day; when I went up the stairs to the Tank Bar, there was a vase of fresh tulips on each end of the bar. A lovely surprise! The food is good, too.

This restaurant gets less praise by foodies wanting the latest fad, but for those who want to enjoy a wonderful evening in a quiet romantic row home near Rittenhouse Square, eating absolutely great food, served by friendly servers, drinking good wines priced fairly, only $10 above cost,, with the opportunity to hang out in a warm second floor bar, then head to Friday, Saturday, Sunday on at 261 South 21st street.
Our party of seven celebrated a birthday unhurried by our servers. No attempt was made to turn over a table with a 6:30 reservation. Probably the best meal was the special of brown butter sage wild mushroom ravioli, but the filet, pork chop, duck (not greasy) and lamb were all good to excellent. Most entrees are under $30.
This is a special place and the owner and managers treat it that way.
Pros: Ambiance, Romantic, Exceptional value, especially the eine mark up
Cons: Parking

Friday Saturday Sunday has been around so long that I remember when it was called Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Thursday Too. It was one of the first restaurants to open in what was then known as Philadelphia's Restaurant Renaissance. The food is quite good, is tried and true and it's within walking distance of the Avenue of the Arts with its concert halls and theaters.
