early 19th Century restaurant
Monday, October 17, 2005
Two busy bars, seven labyrinthine dining rooms (hung with photos of the former owner with all manner of celebrities) and a touristy gift shop provide the setting for this early 19th Century restaurant that many people consider the prime "destination" restaurant in Philadelphia. It is still a venue for many sports, political and show-biz folks who come to town. Mere mortals are welcome, too. This fine dining restaurant focuses on an American menu with a menu based largely on seafood. Expect the average entrée to cost over $30, and dress casual.
