    Overrated. The quality of the food is good, though my husband's steak was medium rare instead of rare, the service however was mediocre at best. The jaded waiter clearly couldn't be happier to finish his midweek shift. He didn't offer us to try our wine before serving the full glass, and he set the cutlery down as if he was dreading coming in to work. The wait time for food was very short, though on a Wednesday I would hope so.

    Absolutely phenomenal in every aspect. The service was like no other. There was a mishap between the kitchen and the manager with our food; the way they rectified it was beyond satisfactory. Absolutely recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a romantic, quiet and phenomenal dinner experience. They took my dietary restrictions extreamly serious which was very appreciated.

    What a disappointment last night. We clearly informed the restaurant about my wife's gluten and dairy allergies. As well we indicated that subbing cow cheese with goat cheese would be great. Upon arrival our waitress told us she had read the notes and was aware. Much to our surprise, they served her a beet salad....with cow cheese!! Later that evening she became ill as a result. But that wasn't the worst of it. We waited 1 hr and 15 minutes for our main meals. Leading up to that moment they also forgot to serve her gluten free bread, which was store bought and like cardboard. That was 20 minutes after I had finished mine. At this point we had had enough of this atrocious experience. Rather than wait longer, we spoke with both the waitress and maitre'd and asked for our bill. They both lied and told us it would be ready in 2 minutes. Ten minutes later, they showed up with it as we were in the process of leaving and had our coats on. We agreed to sit back down and try the mains. My wife had a sablefish meal that was flavourless and not fresh to say the least. I had a lobster tail meal whereby the lobster was watery and not fresh. Needless to say 1 bite of each meal and the coats were back on and we were settling our reduced bill and leaving. What a disappointment for our special Valentines outing. Never will we go back, and I advise people to do the same.

    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.

    Had a great time, hostess and waitress made us feel welcome and was very comfortable. Great evening for a date night., but at 400$ for two with 1 drink each, I’d expect nothing less.
