At the risk of complete redundancy (and not just because Katie is on this post), I must agree on Striped Bass. My most recent visit was on Valentine's Day, and even with a completely packed house, the service was on and the food was outstanding. In addition to the quality of fish, the portions literally double the sizes of some other restaurants that charge nearly the same price. If you are limited to one "event" meal after Morimoto, I would make it Striped Bass. I also think the Saloon is one of the best Italian steakhouses in the city (on 8th St. in South Philly, close to South Street). It's been around for a while but is still serving great steak and seafood. My favorite Italian BYO of the momemt is l'Angolo. It is a small place, and it is fairly south of center city (15 and Porter), but it serves some of the best, most authentic, affordable Italian cuisine in town. The calamari fra diavolo is excellent (and legitimately spicy). l'Angolo may have even surpassed Tre Scalini, which has always been, and continues to be, near the top of my list of most favorite restaurants in Philly. I agree on the comments re Dmitri's. If you don't want to wait for hours though (which could very well be the case if you go on a weekend), you should try his other location at 23 and Pine on Fitler Square. The menus are fairly similar (if not identical) and what you might lose in quaintness and the knowledge that you are eating in Dmitri's original restaurant, you gain in a shorter wait and a liquor license. Finally, I don't believe the Rittenhouse Square restaurants have been mentioned. Any trip to Philly should include at least a drink at one of these restaurants. They are truly a scene, especially for Friday happy hour. For food, I would put Rouge on the top of the list. If the weather is nice, you can do a mini crawl from restaurant to restaurant, or grab a table outside. Enjoy your stay.
