Location is pretty, we sat outside and it gives like a fancy backyard feel but maybe I came too early in the night because I... found this place a little overhyped. It wasn't really a vibe which is what I was expecting but then again maybe it takes a whileinto the night to get there. We also ordered some food and it was just okay. Service however was actually pretty pleasant thewaitress even gave me a virgin alternative everytime my friends ordered shots so I can still participate! Read more
We went to s o m e w h e r e tonight to celebrate a 15th wedding anniversary. They were so accommodating when I wanted to bring... in some things to decorate our tables- even helping me out! James is bartender extraordinaire and we?ll definitely be comingback for cocktails soon. Aurel was our server and it was so busy but he took excellent care of our bigger group. Food wasdelicious and so beautifully presented. It?s on the pricier side but so worth it- especially for a special occasion. Sadly itwas pouring rain so we didn?t get to sit out on the patio but we will be back! The blackened jerk chicken was to die for! Andthe Japanese dumplings we had as a starter- yummy!

The ambiance on the patio was nice but similar to previous review music too loud at 7:30 and could hardly hear friends at same... table. Food fair to good but not overwhelming. The service was great but the food took almost 2 hours on a slow Monday night andnot complicated order. We were informed the kitchen was backed up? The order arrived at 10 and we were seated at 7:30, withorder by 8:15. Offered shots due to long wait which was nice gesture but were sweet and not great tasting. Would have beenbetter to offer either a few appetizers such as flatbread to start or dessert. Great to continue to bring water but temperaturelukewarm on hot night, either serve cold water or add ice. Cocktails nice but definitely not worth $18.00. Would not come backunfortunately! Read more
My girlfriend and I were in Ottawa for her birthday, and I managed to get a reservation at the somewhere dinner. The service was... excellent and the food was good, like really good. The Japanese dumplings we had were some of the best we've eaten so far,meanwhile my main pasta dish was also really tasty. Since it was my girlfriend's birthday, they brought out 2 slices of cake forthe both of us on the house! I would definetly recommend this spot for a small birthday celebration to anyone that wants a cozyplace around the byward market area! Read more
Had dinner here-didn?t love it. We had: -Oysters: These were buck a shuck so don?t expect amazing flavor. I found the taste... alright although some oysters were more bitter than others -Octopus: The octopus itself was cooked perfectly and seasoned simplyso we could enjoy the natural taste of the meat. However the sides didn?t suit it; the addition of grilled pears created aconfusing flavor combination. There were also bell peppers in there that made the dish even more sweet.. -Truffle Risotto: Myleast favorite dish. The rice was dry and the sauce was excessively cheesy. Bad texture and taste. The restaurant itself isnicely decorated, but the lighting is awful. It gives off nightclub vibes. The food they serve is on the fancier side so thepoor lighting really ruins the presentation and therefore part of the dining experience. Read more
I was very very impressed with somewhere dine bar. Went on Valentine?s Day, and was greeted by multiple sweet servers. The... restaurant?s interior is pleasing and aesthetic. We ordered Grilled Moroccan Octopus as appetizers, and Trofie Pasta andGrilled Salmon as our main dishes. I was surprised by the portion of all, especially the octopus. All dishes were of highquality food, with visual proofs. I would say this restaurant serves better than other top restaurants, and I would recommendothers to visit. Read more
The main downside is the cost - for what you're paying, it's not worth it: average meal, average cocktails, for nearly double... the price of similar places. I guess you're paying for the ambiance and service, which were great. I also can't help but noticethey are very limited on vegetarian options. We overall had a good time but I don't think we'll be back. Read more
