What a delightful evening from beginning to end! It was my birthday and my husband had tried to bring a cake from a bakery to have for dessert but plans went awry when the bakery was closed due to a power failure. This was explained to our server when we arrived astray had been expecting to serve us this cake. The wine choices were excellent, the food delightful. My salmon was perfection...lovely and moist. One of our friends said that the beef tartare was the best that he has ever tasted! At dessert time, they presented our table with four different desserts each with a candle as a surprise to make up for our cake mishap. We were all overwhelmed and delighted! This has always been a favourite spot for lunch but now will also be a destination of choice for a special dinner!! Thank-you

NeXT consistently delivers one of the best dining experiences in Ottawa. The rotating menu keeps things fresh and interesting for returning clients while retaining the same quality we've come to expect from chef Michael Blackie and his team. NeXT's menu can best be described as creative fine dining. A fusion between traditional European and global cuisine (predominantly Asian inspired). We have always ordered the tasting menu option which comes with 8 dishes for sharing spread across 4 waves. 3 waves are savory and the final is dessert. Chef's choice for the dishes, however they will accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences if possible. I would not consider this a small plates type of restaurant if you choose to try the tasting menu, come hungry! The drinks menu is well thought out and the cocktails pair well with the meal. Expect fine dining prices, but we have always felt that the value for your money, especially with the tasting menu is very good.

The food was DELICIOUS!!! The service was great but the music was not very good. It was mostly breakup songs and it just doesn’t seem like the right clientele for that. Maybe play something a little softer like a chill playlist on Spotify. Or even something instrumental. I could hardly hear my friend talking over the music. It didn’t set a very good vibe. BUT everything else was wonderful. Will be back again.

Excellent service. Courteous, knowledgeable and helpful staff contributed to a comfortable, friendly environment. Pricing moderate, ample free parking and easily accessible. Great steak.

Delicious food and excellent service! We highly recommend this restaurant!
