Menu (nothing over $20) is divided into "raw" (oysters, fluke ceviche, black-bass crudo, smoked-salmon roe); "cold" (hiramasa prosciutto, octopus carpaccio, rock shrimp); and larger-portioned "hot" (skate wing, monkfish, scallops). Stollenwerk's mother, Karen Adams, is making desserts.
It's open daily from 4 p.m. to catch the pretheater crowd.
What's coming
Dave Magrogan of Kildare's and Doc Magrogan's has leased the former Gap store in Chadds Ford's Glen Eagle Square for
Harvest, a yupscale American grill whose seasonal entrees and appetizers all will come in under 500 calories. He's aiming for a January debut.
Openings update

"The next few weeks" is the opening line on Avenida (the light-priced Latin at 7402 Germantown Ave. in Mount Airy) and MidAtlantic (chef Daniel Stern's locally focused tavern at 3711 Market St.).
"Early October" is the target for Koo Zee Doo, the Portuguese BYO at 614 N. Second St. in Northern Liberties.
