An extraordinary experience from the food to the cocktails, topped off with highly professional & warm service. The cuisine was spectacular & absolutely delicious. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted & delightful. The cocktails were equally impressive; we took the liberty of letting the bartender surprise us with two off-menu creations. Special thanks to our server, Paul, for his exceptional service & contributing to this wonderful experience. It was greatly appreciated!View more

The drinks & desserts were my favorite things here. Those were really really good, the different flavors & textures in the dessert made each bite slightly different & delicious. I think the small plates item were trying to hit all the different flavor & texture profiles but I don't think the flavors worked harmoniously with each other.View more

Some of my favourite dishes in Ottawa have come from this kitchen. However, their pricing has spiralled out of control & I don't see myself ever going back until they return to their old way. Before you go here, have a look at the previous menus on google. Individual plates for $14-18, then two for $35, now 2 for $50.View more

We had an amazing time at the restaurant as we celebrated our wedding anniversary. The service was great & we were surprised at how full the place, but what can you expect on a Saturday evening. We had 2 plates each & shared the food. I highly recommend getting the sourdough & the caramelized butter. I highly recommend.View more

Went here for a work dinner recently. They were very kind & accomodating. The wait staff was friendly & helpful. Plates were good but it was all a tapas concept with mini plates. Not a fan of that personally but overall the food & experience was very good.View more
