Why is Kosmo the waiter a trip?
He's a real-deal Italian and gives EXCELLENT service!
-
Just returned from this restaurant in Ocean, NJ right off Rt 36. This is one of the best Italian places we have been to in a long time. We plan on becoming regulars even though we live in Edison. Only down side is the just got there liqour license but they dont kill you with the price of the wine, They are ready to expand in the next month or so. This is no more than 5 to 10 minutes from Eatontown Mall. I had a veal dish that would melt in your mouth and the sauce you could die for with a apple, walnut , pine nuts potatoe. My husband had the scallops that were on the menu which were outrageous with a lemon , orange citrus sauce. We shared a order of gnocchi and they were so light they could fly off your plate. For a starter er had a baked brie with a fig sauce that was pure heaven. If you need there phone number it is 732 449 9019. Take the trip it is WORTH IT.

It's been a longtime favorite of my family's and has happily lasted a while in a shopping complex where restaurants are not known for their longevity. Glad you enjoyed it - next time request Kosmo as your waiter - he's a trip.

Never been but--
Bistro Ole, Asbury Park
Moonstruck, Asbury Park
Brandl, Belmar
Moonstruck is a favorite of mine, ever since it opened in Ocean Grove. Great service, food and atmosphere. I don't think they take reservations so you'll have to get there early.
Bistro Ole is also a great newcomer - the owner is friendly and charismatic and the food is superb.
Nicholas in Middletown is also great, but might be a bit far for you.

grilled cheese with havarti and apples from more than just ice cream - not really a "philly food" but boy is it good!
-
It is definitely more casual than Clio and great food. Enjoy!

I went almost a year ago and really enjoyed it. They have a great open kitchen which I like and a very casual atmosphere with great service. I can't remember what we ate, but remember it being delicious!

There is a place on the south side of Sansom just west of city hall. Can't remember the name.
It's the Philadelphia Soft Pretzel Company. They have 3 small pretzels for a dollar and long ones for $1 each. Not as hot off the ovens as Fisher's but still pretty yummy.

Redbones is a good bet for yummy bbq - here is their website. http://redbonesbbq.com/
Dali is great, but much further from Davis Square, closer to Harvard/Inman Square. Their website is http://www.dalirestaurant.com/.

Lourdas in Bryn Mawr was supposed to be good, but I never made it there. And I second the recommendation for Effie's - always great, affordable food, good service and dining in the courtyard is fun and romantic.
-
I recommend The Elephant Walk - they have a special celiac menu with two locations - one in Cambridge and one in Boston. It's French-Cambodian.

I actually wrote a review of Shiao Lan Kung when I lived in Philly and wrote for Citysearch if any of you want more info about it.

I am traveling to Ireland for the first time and my boyfriend's birthday falls while we are there. I am looking for a nice, upscale restaurant in either Dublin or Galway. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (as would recommendations for cheaper restaurants as well).

I used to get my sushi grade tuna at Reading Terminal Market. Don't remember where the stand was, but it was somewhere in the middle and there were mostly Asian women working there. It wasn't too expensive and very tasty!

What about Cibucan at 20th and Sansom? I have not lived in Philadelphia for a few years, but I think it is still open. They have an upstairs area they may be able to reserve for you and pretty good food.
I have been browsing this section of egullet to reminisce about my time in Philadelphia and find it a much better forum than my current location (Boston) and my future location (NYC). So thanks for being such a great place to visit!

Boston Rare Books on Beacon St. (at the intersection of Park) has a small but good selection.

I also saw fresh eggs at my local farmer's market today. It's in Brookline, off Beacon St. a block west of Harvard Street in a parking lot. They looked good!
