The server was prompt and took our drink orders right away. I was very impressed with my Cesar that was garnished with a cheddar cheese cube, a shrimp, a slice of pickle, AND a celery stalk. The drink was a bit strong (may have been the IPA they add in), but how can you complain when you have that much garnish. \n\nMy friend and I shared oysters (Min. order of 6 at $3/oyster), shrimp (Min. order of 6 at $2/shrimp), and the mussels & frites. All of the food was exceptional, and we were pleasantly surprised with the extra oysters and shrimp that the kitchen had thrown in. The pricing of the menu is a bit more expensive than some other pubs, but overall when it comes to good seafood that is around the price you pay in Calgary. \n\nI will definitely be back to try some of the fantastic beers they have on tap, as well as some other items on the menu. I feel as though this could become a new favorite amongst me and my friends."^^ .
