Overall amazing experience. Service was incredible (thank you Leah!) warm, welcoming and very friendly and personable. We don’t often dine at higher end restaurants, but the staff was incredible. It is expensive, and make sure you make a reservation in advance, but if you’re out to celebrate and spoil yourself, I would absolutely recommend. An absolute highlight of our trip, and worth every penny.

We went for the five course blind tasting menu. It was a dining experience, with a wonderful mix of flavors and textures in each dish. The foods we were served were unusual as well, making the evening one to remember. Highly recommended.

I was very impressed with the quality of the food—everything we ordered was delicious and clearly made with care. The flavors were excellent, and the presentation was lovely. However, the service was quite slow, and it took a long time to get our food. The waiter was polite but not very friendly or engaging, which affected the overall dining experience. If you're looking for great food and don't mind a slower pace, it's worth a try—but I hope the service improves in the future. Rita F

A lovely first meal in a beautiful building. It was a slow night due to the hockey game, and the host let me try every red wine. This biscuits were delicious. Indulged in the octopus appetizer and duck entree. One of the best servings of duck I've had. Because it was a slow night, I also enjoyed conversation with the young lady working behind the bar. Glad I switched things up with my latest Ottawa visit and finally came in for a meal.

The ambience was elegant and classy and service was extraordinary. As a person with a gluten intolerance I was disappointed by the very limited choices of GF dessert.
