Ferris' Oyster Bar/Lounge

I go there because they have delicious oysters, burgers, and yam fries, and a big selection of food for my veggie friends. I mean to order the bottomless soup for lunch ($5 between 11 and 2, I think) but I forget and order something else every time.
Main Pros: Burgers are $8-10 and big enough to have leftovers every time. They have an extensive vegetarian selection, and carry really good micro-brew beers. I've seen people inside wearing everything from suits and nice dresses to jeans and t-shirts (I'm most often on the casual side of the scale).
Main Cons: It's too dark inside, and I've had to wait for a table more than a few times. The booths in the back are really uncomfortable. On weeknights, the desserts are often limited in selection past 8 or so.

Do they actually make their own veggie dogs there? I've never ordered one, but they certainly have delicious veggie burgers.
PS: Not a friendly place for people allergic to peanuts.

I've been a few times, although I'm not a commited fan yet. Perhaps it's a bit too dark and narrow for me, you have to be in the right frame of mind for that.
I suppose I just have a dark and narrow frame of mind :-D

Actually I usually like dark restaurants, such as The Mint, but last time I was there it was so dark, I could hardly see what I was eating, and I had to hold the candle over my dinner just to see what it looked like.

As for the food -- cajun prawns on sweet potato fries is my favourite and earns them a "personal favourite" nod in my restaurant reviews.

That review guide is a great resource, congrats. I have to admit it's been a few years since I've dined at the Zeller's restaurant.

^It's risky going on a first date in a dimly lit restaurant. You can't always be sure of what you're getting...

Haha, thats funny, I eat at the Zellers Restaurant quite often. Its a good cheap greasy spoon, and you always know what youre getting.
As for Ferris', Im meeting some friends there this wednesday night. What should I order?

We have a kid, so places like Zellers are, alas, more the norm than I'd like.
