    Exceptional Dining Experience at Beckta From start to finish, our experience at Beckta was nothing short of amazing. The service was impeccable—though we unfortunately forgot the name of our waitress, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, making us feel truly welcomed and cared for throughout the evening. We opted for the menu dégustation, and every course was a masterpiece. The flavors were expertly balanced, the ingredients fresh and thoughtfully chosen, and each plate was presented beautifully, showcasing the culinary artistry that makes Beckta stand out. A true highlight of the meal was the blue cheese dessert—an absolute wow factor! It was a bold yet perfectly executed creation by the pastry chef, demonstrating incredible skill and thoughtfulness in its composition. Beyond the food, the ambiance was intimate and inviting, striking the perfect balance between elegance and comfort. It’s clear that Beckta is committed to delivering not just a meal, but a memorable dining experience. If you’re looking for a top-tier restaurant in Ottawa, Beckta is a must-visit. We can’t wait to return!

    My daughter and I decided to try out Milestones as we had never been. The food was great - the sirloin was cooked to perfection and we shared the coconut shrimp appetizer and the white chocolate cheesecake. Our server's name was Kael. He was completing his training, but you would never know that he was a newbie. He was attentive, personable and made our dining experience awesome. We noted that the manager was also ensuring that the patrons were well taken care of. We will be coming back.

    Everything was excellent. My vodka negroni was one of the best. My wife's gluten-free options were addressed to her great satisfaction. The octopus was grilled to perfection and fabulous never-heard-of veggies. Would be proud to bring my Montreal frieds to Fauna anytime.

    The restaurant was virtually empty on a Thursday evening. I had the sirloin steak and it was probably the best steak I've ever had. The staff were equally amazing. I highly recommend.
