mussel mania!

In an impromptu pre-birthday celebration dinner, YuShin, Matt, and I headed downtown to a great little bar/restaurant called Essex. They have a couple of specials, most noteable is the Tuesday all-you-can-eat mussel and fries special for $14. Oh man, did we do it up. The mussels were cooked in a tasty and well-seasoned sauce, the fries are crisp and de-li-cious (i loveee fries). We all went through three rounds before declaring K-O. It really hit the spot since I've been craving mussels for about half a year now =P Yummy.

The restaurant also had a bar area, though it was rather cumbersome since it blocked the entrance and path to the bathroom. But, for a Tuesday night, it was pretty packed (probably due to the half off all drinks special). I'd really want to try this place for a Sunday brunch.
