A slew of acclaimed Philly restaurants and restaurateurs were nominated for James Beard Awards yesterday morning, for awards ranging from Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic to Best Service. Have the nominations made it more difficult to land a table for two at Zahav or Amada or Vetri during reasonable dining hours?
• Vetri: 8:30pm
• Zahav: available all night
• Amada: 6:15pm; 8pm
• Tinto: 7:15pm; 7:30pm; 8:15pm
• Chifa: 7pm; 8pm
• Buddakan: 7:15pm; 7:45pm
• Butcher & Singer: available all night
• Morimoto: 7:15pm; 7:45pm
Keep in mind that it's a Tuesday. We looked at Open Table for the weekend, and tables were already filling up.
