    Awesome date night for valentines. Was disappointed at only one thing. The 5 course tasting menu we booked was canceled and instead it was a 3 course with an optional 4th for extra money. Ben our server was fantastic and the food was great. Its was an amazing experience for high end dinning in Ottawa.

    We had dinner on Valentine’s Day, and ordered the specials entree’s. We shared a Caesar salad and oysters on the half as appetizers. Everything was beautifully prepared and presented. Our waiter was excellent…he knew the menu and was able to suggest the perfect cocktail and wine to complement our evening. We went back for a night cap the next night, and the night manager recognized us and came over to introduce herself. She was super friendly and we shared a nice conversation. The Sore Club is a wonderful, classy venue. We’ll be back!

    The meal was very enjoyable and had lots of unique dishes coupled with very amazing techniques. I was a very big fan of the trout ravioli which was so unique and amazing. My only suggestion is not double desert but one more creative entree. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, ambiance was great and it was definitely overall a great experience. Oh the tip is included in the bill which was also kinda cool.

    I am a frequent solo diner and Gitanes is a place to get a wonderful dinner after a day of grinding! Hanger cut on the Steak Frites was amazing even with my “well-done” choice. The White Bronco was a refreshing cocktail and it definitely reminded me of acquitting things if they do not fit. The Sorbet was a nice dessert after feeling lethargic from the good food and good service. 5 big booms! 💥💥💥💥💥
