Ottawa Foodies

As I am moving basically across this street from this place (yipee!), I went there last Wednesday for Happy Hour with some friends.

Their food is thoroughly delicious. We sampled a great many things including oysters, calamari, mussels in creole sauce, crawfish, gator, seafood fondue and steamed crab legs.

Everything was fresh, well prepared and delicious. The calamari were perfectly done and in a very light tempura-style batter.

I especially enjoyed how they brought a tray of their house-made sauces (from mild to spicy) and a vinegar bottle filled with pepper-infused vodka to the table.

Our server was somewhat frosty in a "Canada's Next Top Model" kind of way but efficient overall.

On a side note: They have a woman reading tarot cards every evening for $10 and the proceeds all go to Habitat for Humanity. Two of our friends had their cards read and came back to the table thoroughly spooked.

I love their happy hour menu. It's yummy.

I've been there three times and I've always enjoyed the food. Great calamari. It's got more batter than I usually like but it's not over-fried.
