1. Vetri
Haven’t been there yet because… it’s too expensive, it’s only open like two days a week, and it encourages a chef’s menu that takes away precious control over what goes in my mouth.
2. Striped Bass
Haven’t been there yet because… it’s too expensive and it just closed.
3. Osteria
Haven’t been there yet because… it’s too new, too popular, and too north on Broad Street.
4. Buddakan
Haven’t been there yet because… it’s supposedly good for groups, but I don’t have a group that can really afford it.
5. Gayle
Haven’t been there yet because… I don’t know if I’m as adventurous as most people describe its food.
6. Supper
Haven’t been there yet because… I just heard about it and I’m not sure I’m in any rush at this point.
Been There, Done That
Haven’t been there yet because… it doesn’t take reservations and I only remember I want to go on weekends when the waits are the longest.
Haven’t been there yet because… its chef switch has garnered mixed reviews and the place is smaller than a matchbox.
3. Le-Bec Fin – TRIED
Haven’t been there yet because… it’s too expensive and that rich French food does a number on my guts.
4. Marigold Kitchen (BYOB) – TRIED
Haven’t been there yet because… it’s in West Philly and I don’t want to get shot.
Haven’t been there yet because… I only heard about it last month in Esquire.
Haven’t been there yet because… I’m afraid it won’t live up to my expectations of a Lolita-like Indian place.

Hmmm, I’ll have to look into those.
I was, however, lucky enough to get a gift card to Le Bec from my parents, and already have a reservation at Rae for the little lady’s graduation day.
Now, if only the other eight would offer me free meals. 🙂
