6:15 - 7:45 PM

Ramona: Grey Goose Orange Cosmo, Broiled combo (shrimp, scallops, flounder, deviled crab, crab cake), baked potato, cole slaw

Jim: Grey Goose Orange Cosmo, Broiled combo (shrimp, scallops, flounder, deviled crab, crab cake), baked potato, eggplant parmesan

Shared: 12 blue point oysters (raw)

Another must stop place in Philly, and this was an especially good visit, since we treated my parents for Father's day. The food was perfectly prepared, which we expected because of the long wait. Everything is made to order. The OTC (Original Trenton Crackers) and horseradish really opens the sinuses while waiting for the appetizer. The atmosphere was relaxed, and despite the crowd on a Friday night (including a wedding reception!) the wait for a table was short and the service great.

We thought the portion seemed smaller than last time, but we left well-satisfied. My mother could not finish her deviled crab cake. The rolls were also first rate.
