Dining room at Friday Saturday Sunday, Philadelphia, PAThe tented ceiling imparts a vaguely Moorish feel to this intimate restaurant. Friday Saturday Sunday is counted upon by townies for dependable food and very personal service, and also for one of the best-priced (just $10 above cost) wine lists around. Owner Weaver Lilly has worked with chef Reese Skulteti to craft an approachable American menu that includes a first-rate jumbo lump crab cake, horseradish and panko crusted tilapia with cilantro lime beurre blanc, grilled chipotle barbecued shrimp, a daily salmon preparation and a double-thick pork chop with roasted garlic Roquefort sauce. Still, longtime patrons can find the chicken Dijon, roast duck and poached salmon that they've enjoyed for years. Sunday through Thursday, enjoy a three-course prix-fixe for $30. The pastry chef continues the restaurant's policy of decadent desserts with KahlĂșa pie, coconut cream pie, Jewish apple cake and more. The romantic upstairs bar, with its glowing aquarium, is a good destination for cocktails and after-dinner drinks.
