| - After driving by Tatlows for several years and thinking it was a Tattoo parlor, I heard from a friend that it was not only a restaurant but a fantastic place to visit.
We have since been there twice, once as a couple and the second time with one of our sons.
There is a small parking lot in front and when you enter the restaurant you are greeted with a very warm and inviting atmosphere. The first time was a Saturday night, so we did wait about 10 minutes, no problem since it gave us time to review the specials. Once seated, our drink order was taken and we continued to ponder over the menu. This is one of the hidden surprises. This place has everything from Chicken Fingers & Poutine to Lamb Chops & Lobster. The prices also range, so don't be afraid to stop in and experience what they have to offer.
My husband ordered the Mussels, no surprise, but here's the deal. I don't like Mussels. I love seafood, but Mussels are just plain gross. Well, let me tell you, I am now a Mussel convert. At least at Tatlows. The crusty bread combined with the tomato-garlic broth and the mussels, had me eating half of my husbands appetizer. I can't honestly remember what we ordered for our main dish, it was good I'm sure, but I the mussels were just so amazing.
We went back a second time, with our son, who not surprisingly had the Chicken Fingers, his order was so large, he didn't finish it. Most likely because we ordered the mussels again and the three of us polished those off quickly, not leaving a whole lot of room for the main dish. I had the Fettucini, which was creamy and full of flavour.
I can't wait to go back! Maybe next weekend, after Thanksgiving.
