This was my second time at this restaurant and both times I enjoyed my food. The owners and the…read morestaff are very warm, kind and welcoming. The first visit the restaurant was crowded and busy with two large parties (both very lively and friendly). This visit was quiet with about four tables occupied with sit down guests. There seemed to be a lot of pick up orders as quite a few people came in for food and left. The restaurant is very clean with lots of light coming in from the window and doors. It's a casual setting but you could dress up and still feel comfortable. I will definitely go back to this restaurant on my future visits to Ottawa.

While we were waiting for the appetizer we were served bread as well as some black olives. The mussels sauce tasted amazing. My friend says she will be coming back just for that. I chose the chicken for main, they do not offer a piece of chicken they offer two piece or a whole chicken. I could not believe the amount of food for the price. My chicken was really juicy. It was served with salad as well as a side of fries or rice. I picked the option of fries. The salad was ordinary I only had half a cherry tomato, A few pieces of grated carrots as well as a few pieces of onions. The fries were nice and crispy just like I love them. We had a pitcher of water left on the table. That way we could serve ourselves. We both made the mistake of asking for water before we realized it. Free parking with lots of space. They are located in front of movati. I was disappointed that they did not have a cocktail menu. I wish they could make me Discovered some Portugal drinks.

We were able to try a bunch of their appetizers and nothing was really disappointing. We loved everything! We had: - a round of oysters - garlic bok choy - tuna tare tare - this was served in a taco shell of sorts - beef tare tare - this was served on a piece of bread - our favourite! The beef tare tare was definitely the highlight of them all! The spread on the bread was some sort of fig jam I believe, and it paired amazingly with the beef and other toppings on top. Definitely a more unique beef tare tare that I've had recently, and I would totally get it again!

Certainly not a date night kind of restaurant. Couple of things found interesting they serve single serving ketchup, vinegar (only white no malt) salt and pepper. They have a great table cover for each table and offer wood utensils or if you ask you could get silverware . I really wanted to try one of their boils but thought it might be too much so ordered fish & chips. The fish that was cooked properly was delicious with a very light tasty batter. It had four pieces of fish which two were cooked and the other two were not cooked properly. Underneath the fish were fries and lots of them. Would try again but would get to go and ask for well done.

The Moody Foody - Seafood Boil or Seafood *Spoil*?…read more I've always loved coming here to satisfy my seafood boil cravings, but after my last visit... I'm *shook*. Ordered a snow crab and shrimp bag for both myself and my fiancé, and right away, the crab was way too salty. No big deal, right? Wrong. Because I'm pretty sure I ate a bad one--cue five *brutal* days of food poisoning. Now, I *want* to give this place another shot, but honestly? I'm terrified. When seafood is fresh, it's unbeatable, but when it's off... well, I don't need another horror story. Hoping this was just a one-off, but they *really* need to step up their quality control. Proceed with caution, seafood lovers.
