    Lovely spot, great service, great value. We took my mother here for her birthday and everyone left happy and full. There’s clearly a sense of passion for food and drink here as the menu was very innovative. Great addition to Ottawa, we’ll be back.

    Glorious, thoughtful cocktails. Food recommendations that were spot on. And it didn’t break the bank somehow. Fantastic.

    Amamzing food, drinks. Very small downside is they haven't weather proofed yet and every time the door opened, the entire bar area was pretty freezing (Servers looked pretty cold too!). They've said they're fixing it soon and honestly even that could not stop us from enjoying SUCH a delicious meal. Try a fancy cocktail - they go all out and the bar flare is awesome without being cheesy. Really beautiful place - great date night or fun night out with friends.

    Menu selection is awkward ended up with strange combination and too much food. Taste good but not impressive. Will not go back

    We love the food and decor at this relaxed restaurant in the heart of the Byward Market. Our bonus this visit was "1/2 price on all wines every Wednesday". We took friends who had never had the pleasure, and they too look forward to returning for another delicious meal.

    Gourmet cuisine. Large servings so sharing side dishes with main is a great option. Something for everyone of all ages. Ottawa needed a restaurant like this and now they have it.
