I had my '09 Chevy Colorado tinted last week by Neil. I called to make and appointment on a Saturday morning and he had a cancellation, so I was able to get it get that afternoon!
Neil is a great guy and does quality work. He even installed some 3M clear bra for me at no charge. I actually had a good time chating with him in the shop while he installed my tint.
I'm super fussy about my truck and Neil didn't disapoint me. I'm very please with his work and highly reccommed his tinter services to anyone that fussy like me.
Pros: Neil does quality work.
Cons: The parking lot was packed.

My husband and I returned to "The Bistro" for our fifth anniversary. The food is always superb. This visit we went "tres francais" with the escargot and charcuterie apps, followed by a very tasty striped bass and rack of lamb. My only disappointment was that Bistro's legendary cassoulet was not yet on the menu. We finished by sharing a chocolate mousse cake "demi-boule". The ambiance was urbane yet comfprtable with sparkling river views. A wonderful and romantic evening.
Pros: superb food, fantastic view, great ambiance

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

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

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!

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).
