Little Fish 2.0 on Fitzwater Street?

A few weeks back, Adam Erace shared the news that Robert Reilly of Salt & Pepper (746 S. Sixth St.) was looking to move his Bella Vista BYOB to 1623 E. Passyunk, the former home of Michael's Café. (Remember - this is not a done deal just yet.) Food folks immediately began speculating whether chef Mike Stollenwerk of fish (1708 Lombard St.) would take over the Sixth-and-Fitzwater space to resurrect Little Fish, the popular BYO he closed this past spring due to structural concerns. Well, we saw Stollenwerk over the weekend and asked him if this game of wine-tote musical chairs was indeed in the works. He says he's definitely expressed heavy interest in putting a deal together to get Little Fish back up and running a mere block away from its original location, but nothing can seriously happen until Reilly pulls the trigger on his own relocation. We'll keep you posted on this cheffy shuffle. In the meantime, Stollenwerk says he's planning a redesign of fish's dining room - and we also have the opening of his Fathom Seafood Bar to look forward to in the coming months.
