Our NeXT experience was amazing. Having been recommended by a friend, we had confidence it would be good but Barbara and the rest of the staff exceeded expectations. The food was the highlight with delicious mixes of sweet and spicy along with perfect portion sizes. Having seen the constant stream of diners arriving, we knew it has to be a favorite for many Ottawa diners. It can boast us as repeat customers for sure. Sue and Scott, Nepean

We had not been in years and were very pleasantly surprised to be served by Michael Blackie himself. We asked for wine pairing and it of course matched the dishes wonderfully. We had the lamb keftedes to start. The flavors were amazing. The main courses were Blackies crispy chicken ( lots leftover for lunch today)and the “Schnitz” chicken schnitzel. Again fantastic mix of flavors. We even had room for dessert. Having Michael Blackie himself serve you dinner was a great touch. Obviously sharing his expertise explaining all the combinations of flavors we were to experience in each dish. He was very personable and exchanged friendly banter with each visit to our table. Looking forward to my leftover crispy chicken today for lunch. We will definitely be back again.
