Aiāna Restaurant Collective
Traditions and techniques long forgotten (yet well-loved) are restored here, not only in tribute to what’s been practiced and procured by our nation’s peoples for thousands of years, but also in celebration of the one thing capable of uniting friends, family, and foes alike: food.
We're firm believers that an exceptional dining experience is built from the inside-out: it starts with quality talent and permeates all levels of service from there. This is why we've implemented a service fee in place of the tipping model. It allows us to redistribute gratuities to pay a living wage to ALL of our employees, ensuring – at a minimum – they are able to cover the actual costs of living in our community. It's just one way we plan to make a dent within the hospitality industry

From someone who's dined at every establishment in the city, I would have to say this is one of my best experiences ever. Although due to COVID it was patio dining, the staff only provided some of the most comfortable and best service I've ever experienced in Ottawa. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. Will be back ASAP.

The restaurant itself was really nice, I can't wait to be able to sit inside. The patio Is great. Service amazing! THE FOOD 🤤🤤. The prices...don't go there expecting to spend under $100 unless you're by yourself. The washroom is nice too (I think I may have accidentally used the girls washroom but 🤷🏾♂️). I had a great and pleasant experience. PS incase you were wondering there wasn't any bugs or mosquitoes or anything like that bothering us.

Fabulous evening at Aiana! Wonderful cuisine, superb service, fairly priced. Looking forward to return and feeling grateful that such a good option is available in Ottawa. Highlight was the pasta with cream sauce and five different mushrooms…yum! Amazing cocktails as well :).
Hi Joel, Wow, we were blown away by your positive words, we really appreciate the time you took to write such an amazing review! The Team at Aiāna Restaurant Collective
Very professional and courteous service. Though a tad slow.
Oysters were delicious but not worth $7 a pop even with the caviar.
The halibut was a very generous portion but a tad dry (so a few secs overcooked) and low on flavours without the pastry, asparagus, and mousse. The asparagus were amazing.
Nice wine pairing suggestion (though I usually don’t drink Chardonnay with dinner ;)). Thanks!
Hi Julie, Thanks so much for your feedback! The Team at Aiāna Restaurant Collective
Salad too difficult to swallow. Too big and too expensive.
Magrets de canards: too chewy. Not enough vegetables
Rack of lamb: well cooked. Too much sauce: mustard and green - impossible to identify
Only 1 bottle of Cahor in the cellar????
Much too expensive for the quality
Dear Lise, thank you for taking the time to review us, we are sorry to see we didn’t quite live up to your expectations. Your review is very helpful in improving the Aiāna experience. The Team at Aiāna Restaurant Collective
The server was amazing and really took care of us. The bartender and kitchen were very accommodating as I requested a drink that was not on the menu and requested substitutions for my entrée. The burrata (tomato salad) was nice and rich. The truffle butter was exquisite. The caviar delectable. My partner had the Ontario Striploin which I tasted and found that it was quite thick and hard to cut through by the end of the meal. It came with a side of potato and duck fat between each layer which was delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back for the truffle butter and the fungi entree. How can anybody have any complaints when the service is so good and the food is so delicious.
Also, gratuity was included in the bill which I found to be amazing.

All the food was good, but we never took a bite and said wow. Flax tweel, very nice. Brussels sprouts - SERVING WAY TOO BIG. We did not know we had to order tasting meal in advance- Huge fail for our anniversary dinner.
My new little secret place which I won’t be able to keep from others. I definitely recommend this restaurant to people who are looking for an incredible experience, great vibe, amazing food and outstanding service.

Hi Chris, we can't thank you enough for the kind words about Aiāna. The Team at Aiāna Restaurant Collective
The service was excellent
The food was excellent, truly an art of cuisine and well presented. the only surprise was that it was not mentioned in their website that you pay for a three course meal as in it’s not a restaurant that lets you pay for one meal separately. therefore it was quite too pricey and unexpected.
Hi Nora, thanks a lot for your wonderful review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your experience at Aiāna. We offer table d'hote lunch service ($50) and a la carte menu for dinner. We had introduced a 4-course dinner experience following the 10-guest restrictions and reverted back to al la carte menu for dinner as soon as the government reversed its decision. We look forward to serving you again. The Team at Aiāna Restaurant Collective

My husband and I, along with another couple had dinner on Saturday evening. The food was great, the cocktails even better. And the service was wonderful. When we arrived we weren’t thrilled about the table we had been given, but after mentioning it, the staff went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. Would recommend! Lovely place!
