It's Restaurant Week in Philadelphia! Well actually it started last week and is still continuing this week but you catch my drift. Some people are overjoyed. Some people could care less. I, for one, love it.
The trick with Restaurant Week is knowing which restaurants to go to. You do not want to go to the big name, uber popular restaurants. I've been going to Restaurant Week for about 5 years and I've been to many, many restaurants and made many mistakes along the way. Anytime I've gone to the big name, tourist spots, I've been disappointed with my meal and understandably so. Your paying $35 for a three or four course dinner (which is a great deal) but to them, it may be the equivalent of one entree or an entree and a side salad. The owners aren't happy, the servers know they're not getting as big of a tip as they're used to so they're not as friendly and doting as you want them to be.
I typically stick to the BYOB's or the smaller, not as popular restaurants. This year I went to Salento and GiGi's. Both were seriously awesome and I'm sorry to say I forgot to take pictures of my food. Salento was a small, Italian BYO and was the perfect restaurant for girls night. Me and the man went to GiGi's and were treated to a very delicious 4 course meal. We were actually so stuffed we got our dessert to go!
So all in all, Restaurant Week is awesome and if you need any suggestions, don't hesitate to ask!
With love and pearls,
Ashley
