by Oleta Hunsinger on Not much to add here that hasn't already been said. Bit of douchebaggery at the window. I've heard Philly was a city full of a-holes by someone who lived here and I guess this is what they meant, but hey, I'm from Boston and we are certainly a city full of a-holes so I can't fault the folks at Geno's for being true to their reputation. Less meat than Pat's but the bread is crustier. Got the whiz wit and the provolone wit. Both are much better heated up at home in foil and the whiz tastes better after being heated up. Thankfully, English is my native language so I didn't have to suffer the wrath of these true English patriots, if, god forbid, I had an accent or English wasn't my native language and I wanted an overpriced steak sandwich served rudely by a douchebag. Funny, they insist on the whole English only thing but purposely, nay gleefully, butcher the word "with". Next time I'm in Philly, I'm going to try the other, higher rated places in the city.
by Kyle Aydlett on There comes a point in every relationship when you get comfortable. You don't put make up on. Your idea of casual goes from "a jeans and a t-shirt" to full on sweats mode. You have burping contests. (really? none of you do this?) While I like my spaghetti and cheap bottle of wine, if your Saturday nights are becoming too routine, a proper date night is in order. I tell the bf we are going out to dinner and the first thing out of his mouth is "do I have to dress up?!?!" * Janice slaps forehead * Fast forward to Yoshi's. We're sitting at the restaurant and he starts looking at other guys' outfits. He feels underdressed. I don't say anything. I've decided that I will just drown my thoughts in a sweet cocktail. That's exactly what I got. The Miles Ahead had Pimm's No.1 (the only gin based cocktail on the menu) and it reminded me of sweet tea; very lemony in taste. His sidecar is heavy on the Hennessy. The sashimi sampler was absolutely fresh. Cuts like hamachi, tai, maguro, etc. were arranged beautifully on top of crushed ice. A wonderful appetizer to begin our dinner with. I usually get some type of seaweed salad when dining at Japanese restaurants and the Ocean Seaweed salad here is just so pretty on the plate! The fuji apple slices, tomatoes, cucumber, kaiware and seaweed were all piled high and lightly dressed in a ponzu sauce. Our server warned us ahead of time that our Wagyu entree would take at least 30 mins. to prepare, so we made sure to try a sushi roll on the menu. The spicy Geisha with its shrimp tempura and snow crab was delicious and wasn't too spicy which I was thankful for. Now, the Wagyu. Robata grilled, the presentation was clean and compartmentalized, with different sides neatly arranged on the plate surrounding the centerpiece -- a 10 oz. thick cut, medium rare Wagyu steak. The steak itself was over-salted and so were the potatoes. A bit of a disappointment, but I did like the honey garlic sauce. The steak itself was too chewy for me. We were going to skip dessert but the chocolate peanut butter cup caught our eye. I would advise to let this dessert sit for a couple of minutes and let the mousse soften, but you really can't go wrong with this choice. This is SO much better than a Reese peanut butter cup! especially with the sweet cream gelato. Perfect for you sweet tooth people! Service was professional and efficient. It was also nice to hear the live band that was performing in the lounge area. It was definitely a pleasant and relaxing dinner date with the bf. Speaking of relaxing, it was time to go home, change into sweats and watch my taped episodes of the Bachelor Pad. ;)
by Danielle M. on I really don't know what to say about Dragonfly. I had a truly confusing experience here on a Wednesday night.... My BF's band was playing a gig on their "Burlesque" night. I want to use this term extremely loosely. They definitely had the D-squad out that night. They had one "dancer" up on stage with the band, while the others were roaming around the club until it was time for the "big show". Judging by the talent I saw on the floor, I decided to skip the show for fear I would lose my lunch. They also charged me $8 for a martini that came in a thimble, and charged my friend $7 for a beer! The place was empty and the surly bouncer wasn't doing much to garner any unsuspecting passersby. The 2 stars are for potential...the decor was cool, and they have little secluded booths throughout the club. If they lowered their prices, hired better staff and prettier girls, they might be able to make something of this place. Oh, and did I mention the extremely inconvenient street parking and total absence of a street sign? I really don't think they want people to come here
