Convivium Osteria

The Osteria, particularly its seafood tapas, came very highly recommended, so we were surprised to enter the restaurant at 6:30pm and find it completely empty. Even so, it took us quite a long time for the sole waitress to come by with a pitcher of water and take our order.

The seafood tapas platter, when it arrived, contained several items not available directly from the menu, and those were generally the best. I think they rotate seasonally so I won't wax too lyrical about the incredible sauteed red bell peppers or addictive nameless white fish with potato. The nibble I had of octopus was incredible. We are definitely coming back for that.

On the other hand, the fried whole fish entree we ordered (a rainbow trout, I think) was dry and bland, and jacked up our total bill to a rather high total.
