"When you first sit down at River Twice, you’ll notice that every table has a built-in utensil drawer. Everything at this East Passyunk corner spot is that thoughtful, but especially their four-course, $65 tasting menu that changes every single night (and they stamp the date on it to prove it). It's all interesting—dishes use seasonal ingredients and combinations that you won’t see at other restaurants. We’re talking NJ oysters swimming in tomato water, a purple Cherokee tomato sandwich with hunks of golden Ossetra caviar, and a red miso and amaro-soaked apple dish for dessert.
