| - Good: Almost all the seafood is sustainable, so you can enjoy a great meal without feeling guilty about callously depleting the world's oceans. The ambiance is very Ossington: Loud and lively.
Better: Fried lake smelts! Lightly breaded and fried, these crispy delights are eaten whole. Normally I don't like it when my meal is eyeballing me, so I devoured them head first. Much more interesting than french fries.
The lobster mac and cheese was decadent, with just the right amount of truffle oil. The oysters were so tasty that we ordered seconds, and enjoyed them with lemon and fresh horseradish.
Best: The octopus ceviche was out of this world! It was fresh and the consistency was perfectly chewy - nothing slimy or rubbery about this cephalopod. Loved the addition of creamy avocado.
Overall, the best seafood meal I've had in Toronto. Will definitely be going back to try the rest of the menu.
This is actually a 4.5 star review; my only complaints were the mediocre dessert (lemon curd parfait) and that our vegetable sides were served after the rest of the meal.
Funds: $160 for 12 oysters, three seafood dishes, two vegetables, two drinks, dessert and a hefty (well-deserved) tip. Not sure what it entails, but they have a weekend happy hour starting at 3:30... sounds tempting!
