Rx Restaurant – West Philadelphia

Overall, not very impressed. The dining room is sparse and uninspiring, as is the food. My guest and I shared an order of calamari as an opener, which was very good. The squid was light and fresh, the breading just barely there.

The main course meals were just OK. I had the NY Strip steak, which was done perfectly, but didn’t taste very good. I’m a big steak fan and I always seem to be disappointed by non-Steakhouse meat. I was this time as well.

My guest got the free range chicken, which although was cooker to perfection, was boring and bland in taste. You can do so much with chicken and this fell flat.

For desert, I had the key lime pie which was homemade and very good. She had the coconut cake which, even thought she is a fan, didn’t live up to expectations.

I found some floaters in my water and a table next to me found a hair in the meal. Eh, not a good impression.

It was BYOB, but the inflated prices made the bottle an afterthought. So many great restaurants in Philly, this one was just OK.
