Square 1682 in the Hotel Palomar by Kimpton (121 s. 17th St.) is right on track for an October 14 opening.� Meal Ticket spoke with Square chef Guillermo Tellez late in August for the details on the upmarket project, which aims to be the first LEED-certified restaurant in Philadelphia.
Now Square has released two dishes that will appear on their opening menu: a "warm" dish of Serrano ham with saffron, tomato bread, manchego cheese and lentil shoots, as well as a "cold" plate of ginger marinated yellowfin tuna with, shallots, scallions, avocado, sesame oil, and potatoes (pictured above).
In keeping with Tellez' 30-plus years working with sustainable ingredients, the yellowfin on the opening menu will be line-caught tuna from Maine.� Tellez tells us he also sources tuna from Hawaii and the Gulf of Mexico depending on the seasons, but always serves ocean-friendly seafood that is identified as a best choice or worthy alternative by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program.
