There’s a great advantage to having a sister restaurant that is a seafood place: Harry’s Savoy Grill has a nice selection of fresh oysters. But we love the regular apps, both standards—like traditional carpaccio and crab-artichoke dip—and Harry’s own, like porkbelly and shiitakes with shredded fennel and a host of other interesting accompaniments. 2020 Naamans Road, Wilmington, 475-3000, harryshospitalitygroup.com

You don’t see French onion soup on many menus these days. At Abbott’s Grill, you do. And we’re glad. We’re also crazy for the calamari, the charcuterie board, and oysters baked with spinach, mushrooms and Asiago. 301 Delaware Ave., Laurel, 280-6172; 249 NE Front St., Milford, 491-6736, abbottsgrillde.com
