I have been to this restaurant three times, and the last two times the service was beyond poor. Last night my friend explicitly told the staff, and chef that she had a severe dairy allergy. Then immediately after biting into her mussels, she had a strong allergic reaction, and had to be taken to the hospital. (Apparently, to maintain freshness, sometimes seafood is soaked in milk, gross!) The manager never came over to apologize, comp the meal, or offer dessert or drinks. The rest of our order was equally bad--they brought out the wrong food, and forgot other items. At the end, they refused to split the check on several credit cards. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY, THE STAFF IS RUDE, SNOBBY, AND CARELESS. Go to Amada or Tinto for tapas, where the food is infinitely better and they know how to treat their customers. tapas bar LibertiesWalk spanish 39.9668998718 -75.1399993896 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 01:13:31 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/1091-bar-ferdinand-philadelphia-pa-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/1095-chez-bow-wow-pet-grooming-salon-philadelphia-pa-usa Elliot S. What a disaster! Chez Bow Wow claims it grooms cats. We took our Himalayan there and he came back looking like a scalped rat. We had even given them a picture of him after he had been groomed by someone in another city that had done a good job so they could see what we wanted him to look like. They never followed the picture. When we brought him back home our other cats hissed at him--they didn't even know who he was. So beware! If you have a long haired cat, it may come back looking shaved. grooming cat pets dog shopping LibertiesWalk 39.9670982361 -75.1399993896 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 05:36:52 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/1095-chez-bow-wow-pet-grooming-salon-philadelphia-pa-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/2807-hot-body-cool-mind-the-studio-philadelphia-pa-usa JM Nice relaxing environment, well-taught classes but there are better/cheaper classes in the area. Across the street, there is The Yoga Loft which is $10 cheaper per class and has a much more flexible approach. Also, the only other review written appears to be from Jennifer's personal assistant, so I'm not sure how objective it is??? shopping yoga, pilates 39.949792 -75.167787 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:10:56 +0100 http://tupalo.com/spot/2807-hot-body-cool-mind-the-studio-philadelphia-pa-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/717-aka-records-philadelphia-pa-usa Mary Great record and cd selection, good used sections.

The crowd isn't really the old city crowd either, which is a big plus. The only problem is the saturday night dj sucks. If you're into top 40 hip-hop, go sat. night. If you're into arcade fire, the clash, man man, etc, go any other night of the week. Ok, slight edit. The Saturday DJ has gotten bumped to every other week. So now its hit and miss saturday night. The 28th, however, is gonig ot be nuts. Circus/costume party and dj's spinning idm all night. Looks like a serious throwdown. bar key, old profile, bar, low city restaurant, beer 39.9495010376 -75.1457977295 Thu, 12 Jul 2007 21:31:53 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/1742-national-mechanics-philadelphia-pa-usa http://tupalo.com/spot/1748-fuji-mountain-philadelphia-pa-usa wallspro Fuji has great sushi and a very cool ambiance.

Franklin Parkway. Probably the best collection after those in the Met NYC & the Musee Rodin in Paris. The collection is housed in a small, neoclassical building, which has the slight feel of a mausoleum (which in a way it is.. for the benefactor). restaurant art rodin sculpture 39.9519004822 -75.1648025513 Sun, 13 May 2007 23:13:31 +0200 http://tupalo.com/spot/1412-rodin-museum-philadelphia-pa-usa
