Tesiny

The owner of Biederman's, the Italian Market smoked fish and caviar institution, opened this raw bar and charcoal grill on a quiet Passyunk Square block, and the pedigree shows. The seafood plateau arrives stacked with oysters, tuna crudo in corn ponzu, and clam ceviche with peach and jalapeño, and the broiled oysters in Calabrian chili butter are worth ordering on their own. The room is plush and candlelit, with velvet chairs, a marble shucking station, and a soundtrack keeping the whole thing feeling chic without trying too hard. Walk in and sit at the bar if you can't get a table.
