 Kerry asked me where I would like to have lunch today and I told her I would love to return to Celli's Osteria in Burlington. I fancied their mushroom pizza  and I recalled that their calamari was not to be missed either.  So we drove to the restaurant, found a parking spot, paid for the parking and then Kerry said things did not seem quite as they should. She peered through the windows and there were no tables set,  no evidence of human  habitation.  The  notice on the front door told us why. They were closing their doors after 10 years. Further notices indicated  an application for zoning for erection of condominiums. Damn. 

 

Plan B was to drive up and down Brant  Street to see if anything else called out to us.  And so we ended up again at August 8 (even though it was really August 29).

Seaweed salad for me and you can just glimpse my sake flask.

 Chicken teriyaki.

A tempura pickle (looking rather pornographic on its plate).  We had to try it but we would not repeat it.

 A selection of dim sum. The dish on the right was the most interesting treatment of calamari.  It was in a mild curry sauce and was cooked such that it still had some bite to it.

 Tempura shrimp and assorted vegetables.

Mango pudding. We showed our ethnocentric bias when we sent it back  noting that it was dessert and should come after. :D:DxD   The server obliged and we felt safe in the arms of a tradition that if you don't eat your dinner you don't get dessert. xD
