Wowza! That is quite a review, for sure! 
Anyone’s ipad keep freezing up? I have the 9.7 “ (i think its the pro). It stopped doing the split screen thing eons ago and now keeps locking up and not responding to touchscreen. I’ve done hard resets, removed apps, you name it. I am hoping to not have to wipe it. Anyone have any suggestions?
“Dank duck”, lol.
I love Chicken Milanese and have NEVER had it with burrata or roasted tomatoes. The description I’m familiar with is this: *Breaded and pan-fried, topped with baby arugula, grape tomatoes, shaved Parmigiano, extra virgin olive oil, lemon vinaigrette and/i Dee-lish.
And it’s burrata, not buratta.
Milanese just refers to the cooking technique (a breaded and fried cutlet) so there are a lot of variations. If the menu says it comes with burrata then it should come with burrata. Yes, surprising that a food writer would spell that wrong - good catch. The menu also says veal milanese not chicken so who knows if the writer got that wrong or there was a substitution. It sure is a rotten review - I wonder if folks will visit just to see if it is as bad as proclaimed! 
But I do like the photograph at the beginning showing what it looks like. Very pretty.
I think the review is hysterical.
Here are some photos of the interior including “The artfully chipped and colored-in subway tiles on the walls don’t jibe with the $39 steak frites.” 
Just saying, look at the number of stars on TripAdvisor, Yelp, and Open Table.
And I notice the duck burger is described as confit.
I had looked at posts from the past few months on Yelp and it’s a real mixed bag. I’m not inclined to try it. If anyone is visiting Philly, I could point you in the direction of some excellent restaurants, though.
That is my pet peeve. We have left when ignored for 10 or more minutes. And I always let them know why as I leave. There is too much competition in the restaurant business to put up with that. If you are swamped, let me know and I can be more than patient. But to walk by us 10 times and say nothing? Nope.
I take back my previous comment that I like the interior. Upon reflection, I like the blue chairs. Period.
It’s definitely a hodge podge of decor.
The designers did another restaurant I do like - for vibe, service and food - that has a retro, nostalgic, kitschy vibe. I don’t think the restaurant reviewed here is going for kitschy though.

Louie Louie’s is owned by experienced restauranteurs. They also own the White Dog Cafes - one near UPenn and one near Haverford - which I do like.
Random question: any ideas for how I might create copies of a 3x5 two-sided recipe card? Having a memorial event for DMiL and want to share a favorite dessert of hers as well as provide copies of her handwritten recipe card. Not complicated at all if I were to type it; just thought family would enjoy her handwriting and a card format. TIA.
Photograph it on your phone, then print from that. You can print two sided, if need. Maybe on nice card stock. Or have Staples do it. We did this with some photos.
What a great idea! You might want to check places that do business printing like Costco and Kinkos/Fedex for their double-sided postcard printing prices.I bet online photo printers can do the same. You can probably add her photo, too.
its a really sweet idea.
I’d either go to a place like Staples/Kinkos and have them do it for me or scan it with my printer/computer and print on cardstock. Avery has blank index cards and postcards you could use with your printer.

@travelnut - I love that idea. Preserving her handwriting is extra special.
We’ve shared DH’s grandma’s unique cookie recipe, I’m the only one she gave it to, in her own handwriting. I always retyped. I think your idea is wonderful.
In our case, she forgot some details, like oven temp or how long to bake (lol, critical, as these are soft cookies.) It would have been so much better, much more charming, if I’d done it as you will. I may still, may send the copy of the handwritten. xx
Thanks to all. I was so happy to be able to make her “famous” banana cake recipe and I will look into the options discussed. Using her handwriting means a slightly less than pristine recipe card; embracing that as authentic. Like the idea of adding a photo, too.
Appreciate all the ideas and hope that guests will enjoy it.
