Full of warm Mediterranean and Oceanic feelings, the main attraction to this restaurant has got to be the lobster tank near the door, or the fish selections in the display case. Seafood heavy menu makes choosing very difficult yet stimulates appetite while going down the list. Lobster bisque is creamy to the last taste and comes with real lobster bits. Tuna, cooked lightly on the surface but raw in the middle, is served with oriental sauce and rice; difference in taste and texture might take getting used to at first, but eventually become an addiction. Banana panna cotta is smooth yet innovative. Servers are professional, but slow with the bill.

MATAGALI serves one fine butter chicken
Matagali (India)
69 Elm St.
416-599-9994
Tucked in the basement on the quiet strip west of Yonge and Elm, it is surprising that many from Bay Street office community prefer to jam themselves into this small restaurant during lunch hours. Emphasis on small, as tables and plastic cushion chairs support only around 2o people in this green space. Lunch menu serves a variety of traditional Indian items. Butter chicken does not disappoint; boneless chunks of chicken settle in a silky smooth sauce of butter and tomato. Rice and warm fluffy naan are served on the side. Other dishes are said to be average. Beware: they only have one server.

Random Thought On Giving Back
Ever seen those people on the street with signs that say "Free Hugs"? I think it's pretty cool. It's like giving back to society by making others feel better. I'd like to do that sometimes. Except for the fact that I'd be ultra competitive. I'd try and hug more people than others, or even steal their potential hugging people. Of course, there are people that only accept hugs from hot chicks, and if there are hot chicks competing with me, I'd lose for sure! In which case I'd probably have to get plastic surgery. Or implants. Or both. Then victory shall be mine! Mwahahaha!
