Morimoto's is typical Steven Starr fare. Amazing atmosphere/experience. I've had better sushi elsewhere; however, if you go -- get the Chef's Special as it's something along the lines of a 12 course meal. The food's exceptionally exotic and the wait staff are incredible in explaining what was just brought to you and how it should be eaten. Good for a "once in a lifetime" experience. Go at the end of the night as Morimoto often comes out and thanks the guests.

Omakase is the way to go at Morimoto. Sushi is not really what the Morimoto experience is about. Out yourself in the chefs hands, tell them what you definitely dont want, if you want kobe or not and enjoy!

Review: Brandywine Prime
Cool place...nice decor inside and a decent/good menu. The app's were REALLY good and the salads were too. My steak (large filet) was very good, but not up to Sullivans, S & W, Lugers standards.
Overall, great place to go with a date or with some friends as the atomsphere is cool and the staff is friendly. But if your hunting for a steak and only a steak, this isnt your place.

I'm going to Philly from Sunday through Tuesday. I'm taking my girlfriend to the Hibachi restaurant on Columbus (right next to Dave & Busters) for brunch. And I'll definitely be hitting Tony Lukes for a cheesesteak. Haven't had a cheesesteak since I graduated college in June.

I like pork as a meat, but not really in a sandwich....and I love their cheesesteaks. You really gotta do a lot of convincing for me to break away and try something different haha.

Boys, it all goes down at Amada. Chef Garces is rockin' the Philly food scene in a big way. I have yet to go to his new place, Tinto, but I heard it's nothing short of amazing.

The food, space, and service is most impressive. I walked out each time completely satisfied in every way.
My pick for some curbside grubbin' is ALWAYS Tony Luke's.

Fogo De Chao is a cool concept, but I felt rushed. To me it seemed like they were VERY focused on turning tables and filling me up as fast as they could. There was a dude constantly popping up next to me wanting to slice off some fresh meat. It began to get slightly annoying especially when I was in the middle of a conversation. Just my opinion.
