We thoroughly enjoyed our meal with you. We shared about 11 plates. Everything was grand! My favs included the spicy crispy tuna, coal-roasted eggplant, wood fire halloumi, the whole roasted branzino, and the Turkish lokma. Our server checked in routinely without interrupting our conversational flow. Perfect night.

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.

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.
