Best Dishes at Penny

The signature appetizer that diners often reorder immediately. Each shrimp is finger-long and naturally sweet, served ice cold. The quality of sourcing is evident—zero fishiness, just pristine seafood prepared simply. At five per order, they're substantial enough to start with or enjoy throughout the meal.

Whole squid stuffed with Swiss chard and tuna, served in a harissa-like sauce. The kitchen's commitment to not messing up exceptional ingredients shines here—the squid is tender, the filling is flavorful, and the sauce adds complexity without overwhelming the delicate seafood.

Penny's signature seafood tower, served cold. Contains oysters, countneck clams, split scallop, mussels, and Argentine red shrimp with garlic aioli. It's the ultimate sampler for understanding Penny's sourcing approach. The variety and quality of each component is exceptional.

A nonchalant reveal—oysters are hidden beneath puff pastry that sits above a silky, luxurious broth. The pastry shatters as you dig in, revealing briny oysters beneath. The contrast of textures and the elegance of the presentation make this a standout among warm preparations.
