   Enjoyed the mezze plate, chicken wings that were crispy and well spiced, and 2 different pizzas - this was lots for 4 people. The server was responsive and friendly, but did not have a clue about wine. To compensate, he let us test taste two and we chose a good Valpolicella. Lovely space - the tables are not too crowded.

   Amazing service and creative cocktails! Came in on a busy night and the bartender didn’t forget about us once. Will be back soon!

   Our dining experience was subpar. Bad and really slow service, incomplete orders, missing items, rude staff. Makes you feel like never going back.

   Two of us ordered the Padang Currie. It was bland and just a lot of rice and green and red peppers. The third in our party had the pizza. It sounded so good on the menu. Hand stretched in a 700 degree oven. It was a small doughy flatbread. The management took it off the bill. That was good. Unfortunately we left hungry, as we had a show to go to.

   Truly, the best meatballs and a must while in Ottawa! Moist, tender angus beef nestled in a deep rich San Marzano tomato sauce accompanied by the most buttery toasted focaccia for sopping up all the goodness! The KFC cauliflower also exceeded our expectations! Not drowned in a typical jarred buffalo sauce but rather spiced to enhance and not to hide the flavours of this brassica. Our server made every guest feel like a VIP. He was very prompt, polite, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the food, wine and cocktails. 10/10. Well done. We will be back!

    Went for brunch. I don’t think they really understand what people are looking in a brunch. The menu is heavy on poached eggs. The serving sizes are too big for the average person (ie. Clarendon or English breakfast) or two small to be a meal (waffles, which came with a paltry amount of fruit). Dishes that should have come with a side of toast did not (smoked meat hash which btw was also pretty devoid of smoked meat. The service was uneven. One in our party asked for pepper so they brought pepper but no salt. Odd. Coffee was served with exactly the number of sugar you requested. refills on coffee was not offered. When you asked for it you also had to ask for more sugar. Toast was not buttered. Butter wasn’t offered and again we had to ask. The food wasn’t bad but I likely wouldn’t go back due to value for money. They isn’t a lot for them to change to be a great bunch spot but they are important things.
