My daughter made it a party of three, for which I made reservations months ago. The venue consists of one large contiguous space which accommodates the kitchen, a bar area and the dining room stretching along a long corridor with very a high ceiling. It was crowded and noisy with the ambiance of a train station waiting room. \n\nThe venue is regarded as one of philly’s finest dining destinations specializing in seafood with prices ranging from $20-40 for appetizers and $40-80 for main courses. Raw bar choices are priced accordingly. Our expectations were high and from a culinary perspective we were not disappointed. The food was delicious. \n\nI have two small complaints about the service, however. \nFirst, it took an inordinately long time to get two of our cocktails (almost twenty minutes), which arrived after we received our appetizers. Second, although I indicated on our reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, there was no mention of it by the waitstaff, nor did we receive the customary courtesy dessert. That was a disappointment. \n\nOverall, I would categorize this establishment as a good place for a business lunch or dinner on expense account, but not an ideal venue for a family dinner or celebration.","__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"}],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResults"},"photos":{"galleryV3":{"photos":[{"title":"","pid":28555353,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/28555353-3","creator":null,"source":"Restaurant","category":"interior","width":1313,"height":1050,"timestamp":"2019-12-23T18:50:36Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":"","pid":42597908,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/42597908-2","creator":null,"source":"Restaurant","category":"interior","width":933,"height":1400,"timestamp":"2021-07-29T15:26:19Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":"Bar

The food was superb-- the seafood was clearly the star, but every ingredient of the dish felt like it held its own (the braised chanterelles under the branzino for example), and contributed something flavorful and interesting to the dish as a whole. Every dish my table and I tried was balanced. The oysters were fresh (we got 1/2 dozen of the special and another 1/d dozen of the Maine oyster...brilliant) and the accompaniments each had a nice little twist (pink peppercorn mignonette, yuzu horseradish, gochujang cocktail sauce). A few folks at my table who don't usually love oysters really enjoyed these. The snapper ceviche was an immediate hit. I think the plantain chips could've been slightly larger (so you could scoop the ceviche more easily) and slightly thicker (so the weight of the fish and the moisture from the ceviche doesn't break through the tiny circle of fried plantain). But that's pretty insignificant compared to the flavor, and presentation of each dish. The servers were incredibly polite, knowledgeable, and friendly. For me, it's a spot for a special occasion or a generous treat to yourself or somebody you love who enjoys seafood (or who you want to experience really good seafood).","submittedDateTime":"2022-08-05T17:33:22Z","rating":{"overall":5,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"nickname":"eateroftheroom","isVip":null,"profileColor":"MUSTARD","initials":"e","simpleModerationState":"APPROVED","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"highlights":[{"startIndex":703,"endIndex":718,"__typename":"ReviewHighlight"}],"__typename":"DishReview"}],"photos":[{"photoMetaData":{"title":null,"photoBySize":{"small":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/small/1/76884569.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"medium":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/medium/1/76884569.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"wideMedium":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/wide-medium/1/76884569.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"wideLarge":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/wide-large/1/76884569.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"__typename":"PhotoSizes"},"__typename":"PhotoMetadata"},"__typename":"DishPhoto"}],"__typename":"Dish"}],"__typename":"PopularDishes"},"__typename":"Restaurant","diningAreas":[{"name":"Other","diningAreaId":1,"description":"Other","tag":"Other","localeMatch":true,"active":true,"preProcessedAreaId":null,"__typename":"DiningAreaMetaData"},{"name":"Cocktail Couch","diningAreaId":93641,"description":"Our cocktail couch is in our bar lounge area, and full dinner and drink menu is available","tag":"Dining Room","localeMatch":true,"active":false,"preProcessedAreaId":null,"__typename":"DiningAreaMetaData"}],"privateDining":{"hasPrivateDining":true,"hasEnhancedPrivateDining":false,"description":"Private events are available for groups ranging from size 13 to 150.

The venue consists of one large contiguous space which accommodates the kitchen, a bar area and the dining room stretching along a long corridor with very a high ceiling. It was crowded and noisy with the ambiance of a train station waiting room. \n\nThe venue is regarded as one of philly’s finest dining destinations specializing in seafood with prices ranging from $20-40 for appetizers and $40-80 for main courses. Raw bar choices are priced accordingly. Our expectations were high and from a culinary perspective we were not disappointed. The food was delicious. \n\nI have two small complaints about the service, however. \nFirst, it took an inordinately long time to get two of our cocktails (almost twenty minutes), which arrived after we received our appetizers. Second, although I indicated on our reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, there was no mention of it by the waitstaff, nor did we receive the customary courtesy dessert. That was a disappointment. \n\nOverall, I would categorize this establishment as a good place for a business lunch or dinner on expense account, but not an ideal venue for a family dinner or celebration.","rating":{"food":5,"service":3,"ambience":3,"value":3,"noise":"ENERGETIC","overall":4,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":61,"nickname":"Eric","metro":{"metroId":13,"displayName":"Philadelphia","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"E","isVip":true,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"PLUM","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2025-05-09T03:52:13Z","dinedDateTime":"2025-05-08T19:00:00-04:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"},{"reviewId":"OT-1021729-134156-130062029803","text":"This is a do not miss Restaurant experience.

Executive chef: Greg Vernick and CDC David Paterniti
From the OpenTable editors: Sleek interiors meet thoughtful service at this celebratory Logan Square seafood spot. James Beard Award-winning chef Greg Vernick walks the line between innovative and nostalgic with dishes like sardines on sourdough toast and grilled scallops that are masterclasses in careful sourcing and precise preparation, but also wipe-your-plate-clean delicious. If you’re toasting to something special, get one of the hard-to-find spirits or wines from the top-notch drinks program.
