    I went to 42N at the Flats with 2 friends after a matinee at Shea's. The space is beautiful. It was busy but not noisy--very conducive to private conversation. Food was delicious I wish I could remember our server's name. He was very friendly and accommodating, knew the menu well, and was quite efficient. It couldn't have been much more convenient to Shea's. All in all, we had a great experience. I would definitely go back.

    The calamari is, possibly, the best I've ever had. A light, flavourful ... I'm not going to call it a crust because it is much more delicate than that. It's not a breading either. But there is a little something on the outside of the calamari that makes it delicious. The aioli is lovely as well. Chicken schnitzel had a little too much oil on the plate, but the seasoning was spot on and every taste fantastic.
