The Cafe 2011, Philadelphia

This is a cute little place on Walnut and 20th in Philadelphia (http://www.thecafe2011.com/). We went there twice. The first time, we had intended to go there after reading some good reviews online. Both of us ate one of the daily specials and drank a beer. The second time, we ended up there after checking out 3 Turkish restaurants and looking for a restaurant in eastern parts of the city for more than two hours. We didn't like the appearance of the first Turkish place. The second was closed due to an ongoing renovation work. The third one was closed, probably because it was late, around 10pm maybe. While searching for something else we found Little Fish restaurant, which looked like a must go place (http://www.littlefishphilly.com/). We hope to check it out sometime. We were heading back to Walnut and 42nd, hoping to find Chipotle open. While driving on Walnut, we recalled The Cafe place, and went right there. Once again both of us ate a different daily special and drank Martinis. Mine was called Beethoven... I don't remember what you drank, do you?

Anyway, the service in this place was great. Both times we sat on the table by the window. The size of the servings were just right. The food was delicious, and the sides are especially good. You should check it out if you are looking for a place to eat around 20th and Walnut.
