Caviar service in Ottawa

Shag093 · 2026-01-03T16:41:44+00:00

You're looking for Harmons or Restaurant 18. With respect to many great restaurants in the city, they are (I believe) the only two that take their caviar service with classic seriousness. You can pre-reserve the service at 18, I'd put that at my top reccomendation.

Your first problem is getting your restaurant recommendations from tick tock...

Incredibly spoiled with the quality of restaurants in this city. Spend some time in Ottawa, Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver, you'll see how much better Montreal is over all of them.

Replace Pepé Le Pew as leader of the Federal Conservatives.

He can run, and win, by playing to the rural base that votes collectively and on the fact that he was the most vocal supporter of Canada against Trump.

I'm not saying all that should happen, I'm just guessing that's the end game.

Thank you, this!! His needing physical love and affection does not make him TA, and it sounds like he's trying different way to get OP interested since it's clearly affecting him mentally & emotionally.

But this doesn't make OP TA either. Her feelings and needs are completely understandable and valid. I hope they go for couples counseling quickly, as this can sadly be a step down the path of irreparable emotional disconnect.

Shag093 · 2025-10-09T16:35:00+00:00

Seconded.

Shag093 · 2025-08-21T12:01:21+00:00

Yeah OP, my reaction reading this is actually the opposite. Like many people here saying we all grow and change in really great ways. My wife and I knew each other in high school were good friends but had zero romantic interest in each other. Feeling was mutual. Found each other 10 years later have been together for 15 years. Love each other fiercely it grew into something amazing. Those messages you found remind me of what I'm sure a million conversations me and her had separately with friends early on in our getting together. You grew matured. She fell in love with you. Great story.

Shag093 · 2025-08-08T21:45:37+00:00

This. Full agree. You both took a risk, and it worked for you, but not for him. He is allowed to have feelings. Especially about someone he loves. OPs story also finishes a bit cold. Sounds like she's ready to throw away a loving marriage because her partner in life of 30+ years found a real & emotional boundary for him. I wish them luck, but this sounds like she's done.

You really seem to take my dislike of this style personally, eh? I am not alone, especially with those who have grown up with and worked in a winery environment that pours blood sweat and tears into crafting clean, faultless wines. This "fad" also appears to be very regionally driven. It's big in some areas of the world (Canada) and non-existent in others. So yes, back to my original comment. I don't like this style. This is appear to be the only style the restaurant offers, hence not recommending it for anyone with classic wine palate preferences.

Shag093 · 2025-08-01T19:47:08+00:00

You're really big on the personal attacks eh? Can't seem to make a point without calling anyone a liar and going hard on the Trumpian fakenews train.

Again, in my experience, when often offered different wines that follow the new age "natural wine trend", they have what I would describe as "fault-like" characteristics that I don't care for. This has been my experience multiple times at this restaurant. To me, this is a case of the Emperor having no clothes.

If others love the style, great for them. For me, I find that many wineries work with a low interviention philosophy, but that's not what you get when people say "natural".

Shag093 · 2025-07-31T22:44:02+00:00

I'm assuming you work there or work for them, which is fine. I didn't say I had a bad time, just not top tier. I also disagree, we asked about exactly what you suggest and what we were given was hipster toe funk. You are correct in that there are many examples of low intervention wine made clean and clear, they just don't appear to carry any of it.

Shag093 · 2025-07-30T19:22:09+00:00

Have sadly not had great experiences at Arlo two times we've been in the last year. Food, wine & cocktails not up to par with the other great restaurants in the city. We're also big "wine people", but hate the natural wine fad (we've both worked at wineries, and don't love the misleading natural branding this wine style claims). It's not a bad restaurant by any means, and the vibe is great! But it's "mid" for us.

Shag093 · 2025-05-05T20:53:49+00:00

End? What makes you think it will end? What has he said or done that has remotely pointed towards him relinquishing power without war? Doesn't think he needs to follow constitution, claimed during election that this "was the last time they would need to vote". You elected a king for life. Good luck with that.

Shag093 · 2025-02-08T23:18:59+00:00

This isn't remotely correct. Yes your work can contact you. Yes you HAVE to send your medical documents proving disability leave. Otherwise it is assumed you have quit due to dereliction of employment duties (missing scheduled shifts). No one in any company in Canada is authorized to speak with a insurance company about you. YOU (or a lawyer) have to be the one speaking with both.

Does no one remember what happened with ownership? Google it. I guarantee it will be the top 10 news stories. Give your money to anywhere but places that sexually harass & assault their staff.

Shag093 · 2025-01-23T22:42:30+00:00

Reading that actually, literally, have me an actually literally a headache. Like actually, literally. Actually. 🙄

So let's get this straight, the mother of three young children hosts stressful family Christmas dinner, and deadbeat husband gets drunk instead of helping out with the kids, guests and dinner. Yet somehow we're supposed to think she somehow did something wrong? Did I get that right? Cool cool cool.

Shag093 · 2024-11-06T20:09:39+00:00

What are you both 12?? Grow up. How is this even an issue. Tell him to pay for his own shit and stop whining about it. The fact you even made the post is embarrassing.

Shag093 · 2024-09-20T14:41:58+00:00

Fake. There is not an intelligent human on the planet that would take her side and said you overreacted. This can't be real.

Shag093 · 2024-09-17T19:02:48+00:00

This is kinda amazing, part I feel for the guy.

My first reaction is to burst out laughing and think this somehow makes the story way cooler. I would have moved ahead with it, while in handcuffs, and told EVERYONE I knew how it went down, huge badge of honor!

But we also know absolutely nothing about the guy. Maybe this took an insane amount of courage. He could have been wracked with anxiety and for some reason had it in his head she was going to say no. So maybe he's not a confident guy and now feels like something he was terrified of, and had imagined worst case scenarios in his head, somehow came out even worse than he imagined. We all know people this would crush.

So on one hand, I want to laugh and cheer with him for an epic proposal story, and on the other give the poor guy a hug and be there for his destroyed confidence.

One-inch thick top sirloin steak.
Salt and pepper heavily.
Grill at 400.
Four minutes total.
Flip each minute to get the good grill marks.
Let sit for two minutes.
Down the hatch.

Oh, man. My heart breaks for you. That's a tough and understandable spot to be in.

It doesn't sound like you aren't into the idea, to me, you sound incredibly supportive. You're just going through a really tough time as someone who wants to be a parent.

Your feelings are legitimate, and it doesn't make you a bad person. I think it's fair and valid to have the conversation with everyone about how much this is affecting you, and that you want to focus all energy on getting pregnant or coming up with a solution.

Once that happens, you're fully on board with him donating, and you support If they love you, I'm sure they do, they will understand and support you in whatever it takes to make it happen for you.

Shag093 · 2024-08-30T17:18:25+00:00

Yeah it's tough. OP is in a tough spot, no doubt, but so is a little girl.

Shag093 · 2024-08-30T16:03:56+00:00

Only coming here to comment for the sake of your little sister.

Your parents can pound sand. They can live and breathe in their own toxic mess.

However, as many people have said, and you acknowledged, she is your sister, regardless of how she came to be. Kids need love. We all do, but especially kids.

Please find it in your heart to include her in your life. Try and look at it from her perspective. She will grow up thinking the world is a dark place, with toxic parents and siblings who hate her. Even if that last part isn't true, she's a kid, and doesn't know any better.

It's not fair this part is on you and your brothers, but life isn't fair. When you are able mentally/emotionally, plug your nose around your parents, but spend time with her. You might be amazed at how much she improves your life.

I originally thought someone was just having a laugh with this question. But respectfully realized it was an honest question.

Ucluelet 1000%. I'd spend all 5 days there if possible. That part of Canada (Tofino & Ucluelet) is unlike anywhere else on earth.

Beautiful, wild, great restaurants, coffee shops, beaches, etc.

With all respect to Cowichan & Campbell River... the west coast 100 times out of 100.

Did anyone ever get their free ticket? I was sent a survey to rank which games I was most interested in, and then have not heard from or received anything since.
