Here's the opening lunch menu for Oyster House (1516 Sansom St., 215-567-7683, oysterhousephilly.com), which started offering daytime service this past Monday. Hours are 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with a separate midday menu taking over from 2:30 to 5.
While we probably wouldn't opt for the $50 New England clambake for two, the affordably priced small plates� � like steam soft shells ($12), saut�ed mussels ($13) and fried oysters ($9, $12 with the addition of chicken salad � sound like they'd make a winning lunch.
