Neil is a really friendly guy who has great prices. Also unlike any other shop I know, he hand-cuts tint for an extra precise fit and spends as long as needed to ensure a quality finish.
I've sent many friends here and will continiue to do so.
Pros: Experienced, reasonably priced, friendly
Cons: tight parking

I recently had the good fortune to stumble into this established, yet revived restaurant/bar. The atmosphere is swanky cool and relaxed. However, I write this more about the food. The menu has been beefed up from its previous iteration (from what my friends tell me). The variety and caliber of food is excellent. The crab cakes are the best outside of Maryland that I have had in a long time. Mussels: mouth wateringly succulent. What more can I say? Oh, hat's off to the chef...well done indeed, BRAVO! I will be back!
Pros: Excellent food! Great value for the money!
Cons: not a real con, but get a BIG SIGN out front

I love this place! I've been twice - once for a cut and most recently for a color, and both with Brooke. I have absolutely adored the changes to my hair both times! It's really amazing what a nice hair-do can do for your esteem. I usually leave in the best mood. Relaxed atmosphere with good music and lots of things to look at, really nice front desk people who greet me when I come in, Bumble and Bumble hair products that smell lovely, and a stylist who listens to what I want and works with me every step of the way! I'll definitely be going back a third time.
Pros: Atmosphere, color, cut, price

We were in Philadelphia sight seeing for the day, and had a recommendation from some of my daughter's friends to be sure to eat supper at Jones. We got there at about 3:30 PM, and were told they wouldn't be serving supper until 5:00, but the bar was open and we were welcome to sit and have a drink while we waited. It was hot out, so we decided to have a few drinks and stay in the cool while we waited for supper time to arrive.
The bar staff was friendly, the drinks were refreshing and good, and the time passed easily. The hostess asked if we were ready to be seated at 5:00, and took us to our seats. Our waitress was very friendly, and very efficient. Among our group, we ordered the meatloaf, crabcake dinner, the pistachio tilapia, and the chicken and waffles. Everyone thought their meal was excellent. I would be proud to recommend this restaurant to my friends and family (I already have!)
Pros: Comfort food with a twist
Cons: No service between shifts

The absolute best steak sandwiches in Philly! I don't even eat red meat and I make an exception for Steve's Prince of Steaks. The ambiance is nil, there is just a counter along one wall to sit. It's really just an extension of a row house basement, but the food is fantastic. You can get your steaks with Wiz (cheese wiz) and fried onions, my personal favorite is a pizza steak with spicy fries. This is one of the trifecta of good comfort food in the Northeast (Gearo's for Pizza and Rib Rack for wings are the others).

Continental is a super fun place in downtown Philly! The restaurant has a large drink menu, and my drinks have always been superb. The atmosphere is fun, and the service is very prompt. We have never eaten a meal there, but the food looks good. Dessert is great. Great in the summer to sit outside. Highly recommend!

STAFF, STAFF, STAFF. Cannot say more about the staff. I was given a gift certificate from my son-in-law for my birthday almost 4 years ago and have been going ever since. I was given my first wax by Marlena and walked away feeling great and in no pain. Now, I have the honor of her sister, Mariana, and greatness must run in the family. She is always pleasant, extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend her for your 1st wax or your 10th wax. Bravo to Total Serenity.
Pros: Friendly atmosphere, now has free parking

Ralph's has everything going for it. A quiet dining room with exceptional food. My husband and I went for the first time last night and are still talking about how delicious the food was! We went traditional- spaghetti and meatballs and my husband got chicken parm. It was FANTASTIC!!! Had a real "old world" style to it.. really nice to have this since all Italian restaurants are trying to be so damn contemporary these days. We will definitely be back! Oh yeah and the wine was delicious too!
