"Luxurious" lobster rolls. "Peerless" crab cakes. A rave review and a prestigious honor for the Oyster House at 15th and Sansom. The Rittenhouse Square seafood spot has won the James Beard America's Classics award for the Mid-Atlantic region.
The foundation calls the Oyster House "a venerable ambassador of Philadelphia food history." It also notes the restaurant "remains one of the city's most rewarding places to eat" with "creative, modern" dishes and "sustainable dock-to-table ingredients" -- not to mention "some of the city's best martinis."
