Raspberry Mojito is to die for!

by Me Andmetoo

Love the friendly staff, the open atmosphere, the great classic food with a little twist. The spicy fries are amazing, the veggie burger is wonderful along with the grilled sweet potatoes! Every time we come here it's just plain great food. Did I mention the fresh raspberry mojitos??? You must try one!

• Pros: best chicken fingers (with crushed walnut crust) ever
• Cons: no cons-it's all delish!

sunday brunch, maybe best in the city

by eatin19107

We have been eating Sunday Brunch here off and on for a couple of years and have always been quite impressed. My wife's family was in the city this past Sunday and we took them here around noon and the place was packed, luckily the hostess, who was incredibly nice, told us to hang on just a sec and she ran upstairs and put a table of 7 together for us in the balcony area overlooking Chestnut Street. Everything was great as usual and the food came up fast and hot, my father-in-law claimed that the "Devil Burger" he had might have been one of the best cooked burgers he ever ate in a restaurant, and that is saying a lot coming from him! I am not one to come on to websites and write reviews, but after my wife pointed out to me that someone wrote a review on this site, and mentioned our family significantly I felt compelled to have my say. Our server/bartender was more than accommodating to everyone in our party, and was constantly smiling and laughing, pretty much being on top of everything from what I could tell. I thought she was wonderful. Not to mention the fact that there were other employees paying attention to us as well. Also, the manager (I believe) served us half our food and refilled our coffees, talking to us about the upcoming Giants/Bengals game and bringing up a dish of goldfish crackers for my sister-in-law's infant. As for the person that complained about their experience and us specifically, I'm not quite sure what they where smoking, but some people can just not be pleased. It's a shame, because we'll be back again, and again, and again. Devil's Alley really has figured out how to do brunch right in this city, and that is an affordable relief!

• Pros: Location, Value, Portions

piiz!

Bislang gab es vor allem fur die Krankenkassen massive Incentives, damit Versicherte von den Arzten in Disease-Management-Programme eingeschrieben werden. Nur fur Patienten mit Diabetes mellitus Typ 1 und 2, Koronare Herzkrankheiten, Asthma bronchiale, COPD und Brustkrebs erhielten die Krankenkassen dann erhebliche Zuschlage aus dem Risikostrukturausgleich, wenn diese chronisch Kranken an einem DMP teilnehmen. Damit war der erste Schritt zu einer Morbiditatsorientierung geschaffen.

Die Finanzierungssystematik andert sich nun ab 2009 mit dem Gesundheitsfonds, dessen wesentliche Aufgabe es ist, den gesamten morbiditatsorientierten Risikostruktruausgleich abzuwickeln. Fur insgesamt 80 Krankheiten erhalten die Kassen Zuschlage in Hohe von standardisierten Sollkosten, und zwar unabhangig davon, ob die Patienten in einem DMP eingeschrieben sind.

Um allerdings die DMP weiterhin zu fordern, ist eine Programmpauschale fur die eingeschriebenen Versicherten vorgesehen, die 180 Euro im Jahr betragt.

• Pros: eggs up!
