Point us in the right direction, please.
You have received some excellent suggestions! I heartily endorse the recommendations of Estia and Bibou. You'll have two v-e-r-y different experiences (large/small; Greek/French; licensed/BYO; Center City/neighborhood)--both terrific.
Joluvscards' mentioned Matyson, a BYO favorite of ours, too. The menu changes frequently and, in my memory, always has several fish/seafood selections. Monday through Thursday they offer a $45. five-course prix-fixe dinner. Check on-line (or sign up for email notification) to see the week's prix-fixe menu.
(Seeing the raves about Fish, we must make a point to get there soon.)
Enjoy your time in Philadelphia, Debit. In preparation for a December visit, I appreciated your many posts on Chowhound and elsewhere on activities and dining in Santa Fe.
Traditional menu, good service, quiet atmosphere, moderate price - Looking for ideas
I'm not seeing the info on the Estia website, but I believe the pre-theater prix-fixe is offered 5 - 7 pm. Be sure to give them a call to verify.

Estia offers a $30 prix-fixe pre-theater dinner. Choices are limited, of course
In Santa Fe--La Boca? El Farol? Galisteo Bistro? Restaurant Martin?
Six of us will be in Santa Fe during the Christmas holidays, not all hounds and not all willing to dine in the more expensive places in town. We'll do most breakfasts and some other meals "at home" and I'll search the board for locals' f avorites for New Mexican/Mexican fare.
I'd like to identify a few places for lunch or dinner--walkable from the plaza, mid-price, with enough variety to appeal to our different palates. Could you offer some advice, please?
I've not had success finding working websites for El Farol and Galisteo Bistro (not the Inn) so I'm not certain about the variety of their offerings and the prices.. Any comments on them? Has La Boca been getting mixed reviews lately? Restaurant Martin seems to offer fresh, local, and organic products with Southwestern and Asian influences--sounds good. How is it?
Oh, and the Cafe at the Georgia O'Keeffe museum--would you recommend it? Our schedule of activities is not at all firm at this point. Should we plan our visit there to include a meal?
Thanks for your help!

Need a Recommendation in Cherry Hill
Oh Yoko on Route 70 is great lunch spot if you enjoy Japanese--sushi bar, okonomiyaki, sashimi, hand rolls, noodle dishes, bento box lunch, salads, as well as some unexpected offerings like crab cakes.
It's in the Pine Tree Plaza not far from the exit of 295 (head west on 70). Andreotti's Viennese Cafe is also in that plaza but I have not eaten there lately..

Thanksgiving at home
Bobby Chez.
I'm not seeing the Thanksgiving menu on the website but I saw the flyer in the Cherry Hill store. Six locations in New Jersey and one in Philadelphia at
1352 South Street.
Halloween Puns
Maybe a plate of hollow wieners? Fill sausage casings with air and tie tightly.
Mt. Laurel restaurant
Was that the Wild Orchid Cafe? We went one time, many years ago, and it was excellent but I do not recall that they sold bread and desserts.
