"We visited here for lunch prior to an orchestra performance. Though it has gone through more than one ownership, it is currently owned by the family of the original owners. It remains a Philadelphia institution. The decor is what you would expect from a seafood restaurant, with antique oyster plates lining the walls and dark wood furnishings. Upon entering the first thing you notice is a very active oyster bar with several oyster shuckers busy at work. Beyond that is a vast, well lighted dining room. They certainly have their long time specialties, yet the menu changes daily, depending on the availability of fresh seafood. We found the service to be spot on, a dirty dish does not last long...

Tonight 's visit was for Dining Out for Life Action Wellness event. Although crowded busy, the service was excellent. My server, Emilie, a gem. She repeatedly checked to ensure that I was satisfied. A lady refilled my water without my having to look around for someone to tend to this task. I had the grilled scallops in a slightly spicy sauce. I 'm not a spicy food eater, but this dish was not overbearing. It 's a good start for people such as myself who are retraining our tastes buds. Spicy is good for sinuses, I 'm told.
