Nice dinner for job candidates in Center City?
My small university is hosting 3 or 4 job candidates for a teaching position, and we would like to take them to a nice place in Center City for dinner with the search committee. Here's the problem: we need a nice, somewhat trendy place so that we can show off the city, but it has to be $20 and below for entrees and it can't be a BYOB. We've used Fork in the past, but it's a little expensive now and we'd also like some other choices. Suggestions?

What about Jones at 7th and Chestnut? According to their menu on philadelphia.menupages.com, entrees range from $13-22.50. It is somewhat of a "trendy" place. Food and service is consistently good, IMO.
You might also look at Caribou Cafe. They have prix fixe menus, but their entrees ala carte are primarily around $20. And, they take reservations.
The problem you may run into at that price range w/alcohol, is that very few of these places take reservations. So, depending on the night/time you're looking for, this could be an issue for your group.

I think Bistro St. Tropez would be great! 4th Floor of the design center, with a great view of the river and 30th Street. I double checked and they said entrees were between 19 and 21 bucks. We ahve always enjoyed dinig there:)

It will be hard to find the place that has all entries below $20, but a majority of the entrees at L2 are under $20. However, if someone wants the filet, lobster tail, or lamb that will be a problem.

Are you looking for New American cuisine or can it be more ethnic? If so, there will be many more options around town.
