But they did give you those bread baskets with melba toast. BTW, for those who would like a good seafood restaurant, and don't mind going to the Northeast, I would recommend Ruhlings on Rising Sun Avenue near Cottman. Excellent fish and chips and broiled seafood. And get the cole slaw, which is up there with the best in Philly. Tim Bartlett
