When it comes to celebrity sightings, it probably doesn't get much better than this.
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart were spotted in St. John's Monday night.
Indiana Jones and Ally McBeal were snapped at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown, where server Fabian Fitzpatrick got a photo with the couple.

—@markcritchSpotted this morning: Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart in St. John's!
—@Krista_Trix"They had asked me what I'd recommend on the menu, and I asked them if they'd ever had cod with scrunchions," Fitzpatrick told CBC News.
"When I explained that scrunchions are the reason for longevity in Newfoundland, Harrison Ford wanted a double portion," he said, adding Ford devoured every last one.
Scrunchions are a local dish of fried salted pork fat, usually served with fish and brewis or fish and potatoes.
Fitzpatrick said the couple gamely posed for a photo with him, noting Ford's spectacular facial hair was a far cry from his clean-shaven Star Wars look.
"He looked more like Grizzly Adams than Han Solo!" said Fitzpatrick, admitting while he's never seen the blockbuster movie series, he loves Indiana Jones, and Flockhart's TV show Ally McBeal.
There's no word on how long Ford and wife Flockhart were in the city.
