      <content>You made the right choice. LBF is great.  The tasting menu is always perfect.

Crab cakes are the best you will have anywhere, but they are still crab cakes.</content>

      <content>Our dinner was unbelievable.  It had been many years since I dined there, and am glad we decided to break our routine of trying new spots and heading back to a classic.  We were blown away by the service and cuisine.  We did a la carte menu which was excellent.  I will post review soon, but in the interim, the escargot was the best I have ever had.  I never thought there was a big difference in escargot (except for the sauce) but this was superior.  We truly felt like it was a special occasion.  While we always say Vetri is our number 1 in Philly, Le Bec is now tied.  Totally different atmosphere (formal and elegant dining room vs. rustic feel) with totally different food, but still these 2 are superior to the rest.</content>
