Rick Nichols is feeling nostalgic for a time before Philadelphia’s BYOB boom, a time when a visit to Dmitri’s was almost magical. Now Nichols visits the third Dmitri’s and finds that the Northern Liberties location can take you home again.

We have a soft spot for soft shell crabs. We’ve already sampled the soft shell crab sandwich at the Standard Tap. We’re looking forward to our first order of soft shells at Dmitri’s. It looks like Bridget Foy’s might be just as crazy about the cuddly crustacean as we are.
From now to June 30th, Bridget Foy’s is offering four different soft shell crab specials.

Tim McGinnis breaks down where to enjoy octopus all year round but in so doing, he takes a big-time shot at Dmitri’s!
When compiling a list of all things overrated in Philadelphia, Field Guide has Geno’s Steak’s, Hall and Oates and Rocky 2 through 6 all somewhere near the top. But after dining on Dmitri’s (2227 Pine St. 215.985.3680) octopus we’ve decided it beats them all to a pulpo. The “small plate†of drywall tough legs was served up in a fishy, oily sauce by an apathetic slacker staff more interested in reading their art industry magazines than delivering great grub. It made us as disappointed as a kid at Christmas with a stocking full of tube socks.
So what do you think readers, does Tim have a point?
Is the octopus at Dmitri's overrated?

Dimitri’s is an affordable way to sample some of the finest seafood in the city. Two appetizer plates and three large entrees came to $60 before tip. Large plates are also very large. I’d been on a small fast all day to save room for the dinner I knew I was going to love, but I still had to ask for half a dozen of my scallops to be wrapped up for lunch the next day.

And although these are all fine restaurants and several are among our favorites. This list is incomplete without Striped Bass and Osteria. And speaking of Osteria, Thursday/Friday lunch starts today.
