This was the only nice dinner I had out in Ottawa and it didn’t disappoint. The host was extremely attentive to my travel... itinerary, and the food was great. I was hoping to have the elk bolognese, which was on the online version of their menu, but itwasn’t on the current menu so I had the spinach ravioli instead, which was phenomenal! The Martinez cocktail was a great riffon a Manhattan. The Purple Rain cocktail was a bit bland for my tastes, but pretty. Read more
Had a dinner here and it didn’t disappoint. Please try their steady seller mushroom toast. We were curious to how that would... taste, but it was the most delicious toast I’ve tasted. Their steak and frites were delicious as well. Great menu ofdelicious drinks as well. The servers were professional, accommodating and friendly. Highly recommended! Read more
I came to this restaurant for dinner recently. The high ceiling was nice and the atmosphere felt like it was a very nice place... for a business meal. One of the staff also went out of his way and brought me a cup for an unfinished coffee that I brought in.In terms of food, I had the Striploin Steak Frites with Bordelaise sauce. The steak was a very nice cut of striploin with a goodthickness. It was cooked to a nice medium rare and the crust was flavourful with a tint of char. The sauce complimented thefood. The fries were skinny, crunchy, and fresh with a nice salty and sage/rosemary flavour. The fries were a bit surprisingtogether as they were skinny enough that the middle wasn't too overwhelming after but not too oily either (Double fried, longstringy that tasted quite nice with the sauce).

Food was really good, although not exceptional for a high-end restaurant. Cocktails, service and indoor ambience were excellent... though and definitely earn the 5 stars. Read more
The food was exceptional. The cocktails are outstanding! The head mixologist, Stephen Flood, is an absolute genius! You must... go. If you can, sitting at the bar is a special treat. Resevations most definitely recommended. The Tuna Crudo appetizer, theLobster Spaghetti, steak frites, damn! And, dill pickle chip encrusted halibut - chef, wow! The Negroni menu, amaro selectionand wine list are extensive and filled with delightful offerings. Again, don't hesitate, you really need to be here. Read more
The location is a bit hidden. The host's are very friendly and have a great attitude. The place is very busy and hopping with... a open concept that is loud but it works for there setup. The food was remarkable overall but the duck was a little tuff. Thedrinks are plentiful and there are many varieties to suit all needs. If you are looking for something different and tasty,this is a place to go. Read more
