My wife and I ate at Thai Ruby a few times and didn't like it, but we haven't ate there in 7 years so I don't know what it's like today.
Our favorite restaurants are the hot salad bar at Earth Fare, Legacy restaurant at Lopez, and Terra del sol.

Be prepared to do a lot of cooking.
I live in center city Phila - I walk to restaurants run by some of the finest chefs, Steven Starr (I’ll probably eat at a Starr restaurant tonight), George Perrier, I am going to a Marc Vetri restaurant next week. We eat our A LOT.

I don’t mind the places in the “Bubble”.

There have to be over 100 in the Bubble - some are good/some are bad. The good ones become bad and the bad ones turn around.

Move here, go out and eat and enjoy.
