Last meal in Canada.\n\nWe were on our last day of our 9 day Canadian Rockies trip, just before our 4pm flight from Calgary back to SFO. Needed some lunch spot with quick service, no leftovers and a semblance of quality. The last ruled out most fast food restaurants in the area. \n\nDressed in shorts, T-shirt and open toed sandals. That would rule out all the classy restaurants!\n\nWife had always vetoed going to the OSF at San Pedro square before shows in downtown San Jose. That and the Redwood City branch are the only OSFs within 30 miles of our Sunnyvale residence. \n\nThere happened to be an OSF right outside the Eau Claire shopping mall. Went in at noon on a Friday, and went up the stairs and were seated immediately.\n\nOld style spacious restaurant, with colored glass, large windows, nice wooden furniture and wooden walls with ambiance of old times. \n\nWhile we read the menu, server comes with heated bread and water. Sour dough bread, not my favorite, but when you're hungry you aren't particular.\n\nWife orders the $10.95 CAD lasagna lunch, and I the $10.35 CAD spaghetti with meat sauce.\nMeals come with coffee/tea, soup/salad and spumoni ice cream.\n\nWife gets the minestrone soup, which is pretty hearty, with pieces of potatoes, beans, pasta, and tomatoes. My house salad comes with carrot strips over iceberg lettuce, with thousand island dressing on the side. \n\nAs soon as we are done with the appetizers, the main courses come. Now that's service. \n\nWife likes her lasagna, which is actually a bigger portion than the spaghetti, and comes with layers of pasta over ground beef and pork sauce.\n\nThe spaghetti marinara meat sauce has particles of ground beef, onions, garlic, tomatoes and is thick for the amount of pasta you get. \n\nDoesn't take long for us to finish our meals, as we wolf down the food like it is our last meal!\n\nThe spumoni is a very generous blend of chocolate, cherry and pistachio. Welcome relief on a 79 degree day. No nuts or candies within the ice cream.\n\nWe get out of there after tip and tax for less than $20 USD, a bargain in expensive downtown Calgary, where you have to pay by the hour to park, and can lose your shirt if you don't watch where you go eat!\n\nOSFs only in 14 primarily western states and western Canada. Half of all OSFs in California. You folks on the Atlantic Coast and Gulf of Mexico are SOL!"^^ . . . "4"^^ . "21"^^ .
