The Prime Rib, Philadelphia May 29th 2011

Atmosphere: Large restaurant located within a hotel. It has an awkward entrance that opens up into the main eating hall and the bar. Very refined and old school vibe with Manhattans, sidecars and old fashion the drinks to order.

Service: 4 out of 5 spoons
Service was proper with a a great attention to detail. They provided proper presentation of all three courses without skipping a beat. Although the waiter failed to come back to fill continuous drink orders its hard to tell if it was the large group that slowed it down or what to expect from the service

Food: 3 out of 5 forks
Food Comments: Food was straight forward steakhouse with nothing that stood out. Felt that Morton's would be a comparable example of what to expect. Although Morton's service and food presentation are a lot more cleaner.

4 out of 5 corks Our recommendation is bring your own bottle and save on the mark-up. The menu demands a red wine.
