"Rittenhouse Square’s contemporary coastal restaurant is the latest from James Beard semifinalist chef Randy Rucker and his wife Amanda. The seafood-centric lunch and dinner menu takes tips from the culinary couple’s time spent along the Gulf, New England, and mid-Atlantic waterways. Opt for oysters doused in Alabama white sauce, Maine-sourced uni, bluefin tuna flecked with olives, and a casual riff on caviar service with hush puppies instead of toast points. Other playful dishes include peekytoe crab and uni atop hash browns and a swordfish Milanese take on fish and chips." - Nadia Chaudhury
