"Set to open at 16 N. Market St., the forthcoming rooftop seafood restaurant Balao grew out of Nathan Davenport’s and Human Element Hospitality owner Kenneth Emery’s shared love of the ocean and travel; Davenport, corporate chef of Human Element Hospitality (the team behind Market Street steakhouse Burwell’s), is leading the project. The menu will feature classics such as clam chowder with Clammer Dave’s clams, oysters Rockefeller, and jumbo lump crab cakes with remoulade, alongside less traditional fish-house items like South Atlantic sushi on the half shell, cold-smoked South Carolina wahoo, blackened seafood tacos, blue crab beignets, and a raw bar." - Erin Perkins
