   Was exactly what we were looking for in a nice night out, and the wine list is top notch.

   It was a wonderful dinner and evening out for our anniversary. The happy atmosphere, the hum of conversations of the many other folks there and buzz of the fauna team quietly ensuring that we were quickly and efficiently attended to, was such a treat. Great to be out again at our favourite go to restaurant. We were very pleased with our delicious dinner of perfectly prepared and presented New Brunswick oysters, scallop ceviche, endive salad, halibut and lamb. The two desserts complemented and completed the meal without being too heavy or sweet. Many thanks team fauna.

   Everything was fantastic, except for the noise level, the music was too loud and not to my taste. It was a challenge to hold a conversation between four people. The dinner and service was great. Our table ordered from every section of the menu and everything was spectacular, both in presentation and taste. Service was discrete, and well informed. All in all a great experience, however if I could recommend anything, I'd recommend they re-think the music selection, then lower the volume.

   Amazing amazing food! Best food I’ve had so far in Ottawa. Normally don’t order fish dishes, but the Arctic Char was out of this world delicious. Same for the dumpling + crab starters.

    Could be challenging for those who don't like sweet-seasoned dishes. The signature ribeye is pretty a must order dish and very much recommended everywhere. However, the taste is just too sweet and greasy and to be honest, the side dishes served along with, are way too sweet as well. I would say the overuse of seasoning & sauces literally removes the original flavor of a steak. Other than that, the crab is a bit smelly. Overall, premium service but disappointed food.

    Went last night for 8pm reso. Food was amazing; great flavours, good portions and enough variety to give everyone something different. Great service from all the staff. Our server was really knowledgeable about everything on the menu, the cocktails and the wines. Fauna is perfect for a special night out or just everyday dining.

    We went on a busy Friday night. A bit noisy but great service and delicious oysters, elk and Cornish hen. I had a spicy margarita that was definitely spicy. We’ll definitely be back to try the ribeye for two!

    Cocktails were very good. Apps were small and overpriced ( 22$ for a single sliced scallop!) and we found salt was used overly generously at times in both apps and mains. Food presentation was nice and the Cod and elk were cooked perfectly. While atmosphere was nice the volume is extremely loud and improvements in sound dampening (ceiling and textures) would improve the ability to converse. Overall we found better value and atmosphere can be found easily elsewhere in Ottawa and would not recommend as a top pick based on that.

    Everything about our experience at Fauna was excellent. The moment you walk through the door you are greeted by such kind and welcoming staff. The ambiance is something special, it draws you in and makes you forget the rest of the world exists for a little while. Our server and sommelier were very knowledgeable, and their personalities truly helped make our experience stand out. They have an extensive wine list with such a lovely selection to choose from. We opted for an Austrian wine which paired wonderfully with the oysters we ordered as our starter. The food was undoubtedly amazing. We chose the elk and the cod, both tasting great and beautifully presented. The portions are very filling- in the best way. I look forward to coming back again, next time leaving enough room to try dessert too. Thanks so much, guys. You made our night and ensured our date was a perfect success.

    Ambience was lovely, waiter was friendly professional and knowledgeable. The food was exquisite, perfect flavors and amazing presentation. Tables are a bit close together but we were still able to enjoy privacy. We thought it closed at 11 so were a bit surprised that it seemed to be closing at 10. It was a Tuesday night and they continually reassured us that there was no rush. Highly recommend.

    We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food and drinks were great. Portions were a bit small for the starters so best not to expect to share. Even though capacity limits have been lifted it did feel a bit unsettling sitting so close to others, especially when a patron at the table next to us started sneezing. Was nice that the waiters are still masked. Vaccine passports no longer required.
