Dowrt, not included in the price of the meal, is worth ordering. Cheesecake with maraschino glaze (.73) was quite good, and the Black Forest cake (.75) ranked among the best I have had.

Nice feature The wine list Is limited, but suitable for the restaurant and its cuisine. One nice feature is the availability of house wine by the bottle. I enjoyed the red Butgu'idy, Cuvee Des Saints Peres even if it is non appellation. Town and Country Is very attractive restaurant with dark wood panelling, fireplace in the main room, comfortable seating arrangements and good lighting. While the restaurant, in my opinion, has slipped a bit, I would still recommend it for those seeking unpretentious food at fair prices.

Town and Country is also good for family dining as children's portions are available for $2.93. My dinner for two (food only) was $12.70. made but not particularly tasty. Homemade pickled beets were a very good vegetable substitute. It was the soup course which was by far the most disappointing part of the meal.

Town and Country's soups are supposed to be "homemade," but I have my doubts about the tut key-vegetable I was served. Better, but still only average, was the hot consomme. The small chef's salad was unexciting, but the dressings, while basic, were generally good. Most tables received loaves of bread, for some reason, we were My accompanying baked potato was very good, and credit must be given for the fresh, yellow beans they had not been cooked to death. The most expensive entree, prime rib of beef ($6.93 for a thick slice), was also ordered pnd received an unqualified recommendation.

Not only was the taste perfect, but the kitchen came up with a very rare slice to satisfy a very fussy beefeater. Unfortunately, the mashed potatoes arrived cool' and were sent back. They were obviously home LATE SHOWING TONIGHT 11.45 P.M. DID ASTRONAUTS VISIT THl EARTH 40,000 YIARSAGOT potatoes, vegetable and beverage. Service remains excellent and is among the best to be found in Ottawa.

The combination of an attentive manager and well trained waitresses certainly contributes to the enjoyment of a meal. Prices do not appear to have increased noticeably during the past year and a half (a majority of entrees are under $5), but portions were smaller than on my last visit. I chose the least expensive of the daily specials, grilled pork tenderloin with tomato and sage sauce The dish was well prepared and sauce pleasant, but I question the quality of the meat for its flavor could have been better. By Paula Collins Restaurants do change and return visits are in order especially to those which received recommendations the first time around. While I am pleased to report I found no glaring changes at Town and Country, there were a few disappointments.

The restaurant has a jiew owner, and the changeover may account for some of the deficiencies but the general tone and atmosphere remain untouched. Among the beet Still featured is honest, uncomplicated food, four daily specials are still available, and meals continue to include soup, salad, meat, iTingH7 a mtoiMlft ALSO PART NO. 12 OF "CAPTAIN VIDEO" NAJ0YI STUNNING!

English-speaking Canada has no one quite like him, probably because it lacks the close cultural and geographical unity of the Quebecois community. One would have to multiply the emotional impact of Ian Tyson's Four Strong Winds or Gordon Light-foot's Early Morning Rain by 10 times to come close to the sureness with which Vigneault explores the country of the Quebecois heart. Unique mine In fairness, though, the province's mix of patriotism-politics-arts-culture give the Quebecois singer-composer a unique mine to work. Not far into his opening Thursday, Vigneault sang II me reste un pays, a song frankly on the theme of the drastic political ideals which Quebecois strove for in the 1960s.

A few moments later, he was sitting on a kitchen chair, doing a seated tap dance and belting out a comic song to an old fiddle tune. Despite the drastic difference between the two, both had the same impact on the audience both were about their own experiences and feelings. At the end of the concert, when the applause simply wouldn't stop, Vigneault came out from behind the curtain, microphone in hand, and sang an old French-Canadian folk song that includes the line: "I have loved you for a long time."
