One Night in Center City

[Dish]

I have a friend coming in for one night in the city. If you could pick anywhere in Center City, where would you go? My friend is an adventurous eater and wants a nice atmosphere. I feel like I am in a restaurant rut..Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Ansill would be my choice, though it's not in Center City exactly.
