Jaffa Bar

North PhiladelphiaBar, Israeli, Seafood$$-$$$

Steve Cook and Michael Solomonov's raw bar, set in an 1850s city firehouse, is a perfect spot for first dates or meeting up with friends. Walk-ins will find plenty of room at the first-floor bar, though there's plenty of room for overflow on the sunny second level. Cocktails are a highlight, as are the fried chicken breast and crab cake sandwiches, in the "on a roll" section of the menu.
