Dominion Square Tavern. Found this place by accident. LOVE the décor. Made to look like some Hemingway hangout of the 1920's. The music they play is all old blues and jazz, which I had their tapes. I've had the absinthe a couple of times, which they always serve with water, since it's 69% alcohol. Tried diluting it the first time, but the second time, what the hell. Yeah, it burns, but yeah, it's great.
Had the mussels, which were tastier than hell, and there were plenty of them. Price was good on the food, a little high on the drinks. Located on Metcalfe, just down from Marie Reine du Monde cathedral, and the Marriott. I love the atmosphere, the food, the desserts. Great date place, I imagine.
