Ralic’s On South

Ralic’s Steakhouse To Close Next Month

Posted by Jason Sheehan on January 16th, 2013

It appears that David Ralic has finally come to the conclusion that what’s needed to survive in this competitive restaurant business environment is a giant squid…and probably a liquor license.

Over on the Insider, they’re reporting that Ralic’s flagship Haddonfield steakhouse will be shutting the doors come February 16, after about two years in business. But David Ralic still has his brand-spankin’-new Ralic’s On South, which just opened here in Philly last month, on South Street. Two things the new joint has that the old one didn’t? A bar (and thereby the ability to sell you a fine whiskey to go with that porterhouse) and a giant octopus mounted over the front door.

Ralic’s On South Softly Opening This Friday

Posted by Alex Tewfik on December 5th, 2012

The 15’x15’ octopus goes live in two days. Ralic’s on South will open its doors with a limited menu at 5 p.m. this Friday, the 7th. With seafood classics like Clams Casino, Crab Cakes, and Tuna Tartar, the menu will give a little insight to what Chef John Anninos hopes to bring to South Street.

Once the restaurant is full-go, they’ll be open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. And in January, Ralic’s will begin Saturday and Sunday brunch. Children under 5 will eat free everyday.

Ralic’s Steakhouse Philly Expansion Gets A Proper Name and A Date

Posted by Jason Sheehan on October 19th, 2012

In Haddonfield, Ralic’s is a boutique steakhouse. But when David Ralic jumps across the river to open on South Street, he’ll be bringing Philly a “seafood-themed sports bar” featuring a dozen 50-inch flatscreens, undersea murals and, apparently, an octopus the size of a small SUV mounted over the restaurant’s entrance.

The new joint will be called Ralic’s On South. Right now, the team is looking at a mid-November opening. And for any of you pros out there who’ve just been waiting for that perfect seafood-themed-giant-octopus-sports-bar gig to come along, this is your moment. The house is currently hiring for all positions, including exec chef.
