Moderate Priced dinner for 4 in Philadelphia

Any recommended places for dinner (without breaking the bank), possibly a BYOB? We were planning on Figs or La Viola, but would really like to try something new.

Thanks!!

    Melograno. Fantastic. Unbelievable food. BYO. Tiny, though, and no reservations. There's a good chance you'll wait, unless you show up early.

      Little Fish, my new favorite restaurant. Sunday dinner, 6:00 and 8:00 seatings. 5 courses, $28 pp, fantastic food and BYOB. Best deal in the city in my opinion.

        I'm really wanting to try this place! Hear that the sunday dinner is the best way to go. Do they offer sushi as one of the course options?

        We love Radicchio, but they don't take reservations. Okay if you're going early or at an off hour.
        Some that we've been enjoying lately:

        August, 13th and Wharton (not open Sundays) - love it!
        L'Oca, 20th and Fairmount - small menu, sooo good! Try the chicken.
        Tre Scalini, on Passyunk Ave near Broad St - everything's good
        Nan, 40th and Chestnut - Asian/French/fusion
        Coquette, casual French bistro at 5th and Bambridge (has a bar)
        Bistro Juliana, Cumberland Ave near I95 - sister to Radicchio, not as crowded

        These are all places with street parking.

          My first thought was instantly Radicchio, very good and I love the atmosphere (although it can get a bit loud).
