It seems simple enough: “Put stuff on toast.” But at this downtown Philly establishment, it’s an art form, whether that “stuff” is super-fresh Maryland crab and sliced jalapeño or beef tartare with fresh horseradish. Sit at the comfy bar; the hubbub doesn’t detract from the beautifully plated food and entrées like a venison saddle for two.
