I have seen this restaurant go through some transformation over the past 10 years that I've frequented it. The ambience is definately better and modern than in the past, but one thing that hasn't changed is the delcious food! The portions have gotten a tad smaller and the price a bit higher, but it's still very affordable and delcious. I love to get the vermicelli dishes with the pork and spring rolls on top. The BBQ platter is very good for sharing with a couple friends as well. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

I went here while visiting Philly to check out UPenn. I was torn between going to the Franklin Institute or touring the historical district -- and boy was I glad to have chosen the first! They have great hands-on exhibits that teach about electricity, bloodflow, etc. What TRULY amazed me was the limited time Body Worlds exhibit. (It's there till April 23rd, 2006, so catch it if you can!)

Salon at 5th has a great vibe, is not pretentious, and has a friendly staff - and Kyle (the owner) is great. I have been going to Faith for a while and I am always happy with the way she cuts and styles my hair. Faith makes lots of suggestions, and is proud of her work. She is really pleasant, listens to what you want, and offers up some cool chit-chat along the way.
Pros: Comfortable, Friendly, conveniant

La Locanda is my all time favorite BYO in Philadelphia. I have been here easily over a dozen times for everything from dates, to birthday celebrations, to casual dinners out, and every time it is a fabulous experience. The food here is phenomenal, the mushroom crepes are heaven on a plate, and the tiramisu is the best I've ever had. The only thing that tops the food at La Locanda is the staff. They are so friendly, accommodating and highly entertaining. The last time I was there, the waiter had my mother laughing so hard she was crying! There is nothing bad I can say about La Locanda. But if you want to go on a friday or saturday night, be sure to make a reservation by wednesday, otherwise you won't get a table.
Pros: Amazing Food; Fabulous Staff; Great Atmosphere; Good prices
Cons: None

I went here on a date, and I really had a nice experience. Wait staff was very attentive, the place with busy with a good "buzz", and I enjoyed the creative choices of food to eat. Everything we sampled was excellent. They have an eclectic drink menu as well. Highly recommend it!
Pros: atmosphere, food, drinks
Cons: didnt feel like there were any

Great place to meet in Old City for the Best Martinis in town. My favorite is the Buzz Lightyear (Tangerine Martini). Good Food, fun crowd, trendy place. Little overcrowded at times. Would recommend.

We loved the tacos, the tuna appetizer and the nachos (which were a huge portion, even for gluttons!).
Pros: Good food, nice atmosphere.
Cons: If you are a fan of huge servings, you might be hungry.
