The space at 16th and Locust is now a Mexican restaurant. I can't vouch for it as I've never been there (not a huge Mexican food fan).
Of course the Rittenhouse area is full of excellent restaurants. Three of my favorites are:
Dandelion Pub (authentic British Pub) -

Twenty Manning (great neighborhood bistro) -

Parc (very popular French bistro) -
