    Right from the helpful staff at the door who took our coats and guided us to our table till we bade goodbye after our meal, the entire dining experience at Aiana was outstanding. The ambience was classy with various seating options available, facing the glitzy bar or the lively open kitchen, with soft lighting making for an intimate experience. Our server Kate Curran went out of her way to ensure we had all we needed, explained every dish perfectly, provided wine pairing suggestions and also obliged with photos. The food itself was exemplary – top-notch quality ingredients and such beautiful presentation making each dish almost too pretty to eat! We tried two small plates, two mains and two desserts and every morsel was a gastronomic delight of textures and flavours intricately woven to ensure palate pleasing perfection. The complimentary items including the welcome grape and ginger shot, the amuse bouche of tomato soup with cheddar foam and the dark chocolates with cherry compote at the end of the meal were added touches of thoughtfulness that elevated the experience, as was the little goodie bag presented to us when leaving. Aiana doesn't accept tips, but their service is definitely worthy of it and I highly recommend the restaurant for an exceptional dining experience in downtown Ottawa.

    Aiana has truly outdone itself with its new menu—it’s absolutely jaw-dropping. The quality and execution of each dish are impeccable, but the aged dry duck is something truly special. It’s a must-try, showcasing incredible depth of flavor and expert craftsmanship. The ambiance remains as refined as ever, peaceful, elegant, and respectful. It’s the perfect setting for a high-quality dining experience. If you appreciate fine dining done right, Aiana is an absolute standout.

    One scallop? Who serves an appetizer with ONE scallop! Plate may look like a work of art, but seriously, I’m going there to eat, not admire a painting! The attitude of the server appeared to be that we should feel privileged to dine there and be served by him! Slow, sullen, empty plated! We left after the underwhelming appetizer and went to eat elsewhere!

    This has to be one of Ottawa’s most innovative and special dining experiences. The atmosphere is a blend of smooth and spacious bistro tables and banquette seating, with a stylish Centre bar area and exposed kitchen. It has a definite uptown chic vibe. Music is subtle with a great mix of soft house and jazz fusion with low lighting that sets the tone for an equally special gastronomic experience. Service is impeccable as you would expect from this level of dining. Special note to Oliver for his great attention to making the dinner a special one. Food is clearly locally sourced and it’s all about taste and presentation in a classic degustation style. As visitors to Ottawa, we could easily have mistaken this for a Michelin fine dining experience; it was that good. It is sophisticated dining, but without pretense. The pace of course offerings is relaxed and unhurried. We were impressed by the confidence of the chef and his team to create an ambitious menu selection for us that blended flavors, textures and culinary themes that made each dish not only approachable, but enticing as well. On a cold and snowy January evening, Aiāna was a special dining experience that offered something special - outstanding food, great taste, and personalized service.

    Dear Reid, we truly appreciate your thoughtful review. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the ambiance, service, and culinary experience at Aiāna. Oliver will be delighted by your kind words! We’re grateful for your kind recognition and thrilled to have been part of your visit to Ottawa. We hope to welcome you back again soon. — Team Aiāna

    We came here to celebrate my wife's birthday. Made a reservation. Upon arrrival we were promptly seated at a requested high top by the bar. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. The drink menu on the ipad where you have to click on each drink to read about the ingredients was time consuming. The food menu was fairly small but interesting. All the drinks were too sour even the old fashioned which was strange, we asked to remake them - they came out perfect. For dinner we started off with french onion soup that had an absolute best presentation but it wasnt the classic french onion. It was very very sweet without any kinda bread or croutons or gruyere cheese. Our main course consisted of Beef Cheeks and Shrimp with grits and chorizo. Beautiful presentation. But not so much flavor. We finished off with two desserts that were actually the highlight of our experience - Citrus & Cream, Vanilla & Caramel. Both were delicious. To conclude, this fine dining restaurant has great ambience, beautiful interior, great service. But the food and drinks could be better. It is pricier than other establishments in the area. Service Charge (Tip) is included in the menu pricing.

    Dear Igor, Thank you for celebrating your wife's birthday with us and for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the ambiance, service, and desserts. Your comments on the food and drinks are appreciated, and we’ll certainly share them with our team. We strive to create a refined and memorable experience, and we hope to welcome you again for another visit. Best, The Aiāna Team

    This was a terrible service for a fine dine restaurant. I brought my celiac girlfriend who was unable to eat anything due to them not being accommodating to the allergy. I Do not recommend to anyone who has an allergy as the chef does not want to accommodate anything to complicate the menu. The waiter Sean was very extremely nice and don’t have anything bad to say about him.
    Aiāna Restaurant CollectiveResponded on January 31, 2025
    Dear Michael, Thank you for sharing your feedback. At Aiāna, guest safety is our top priority, and we take allergies very seriously. Our Maître d’ had reached out prior to your visit to communicate that, without a quarantined facility, we could not guarantee a fully celiac-safe experience. While we did offer carefully selected options to minimize risk, we completely understand your decision not to dine with us. We truly appreciate your kind words about Sean and regret that we couldn’t provide the experience you were hoping for. We wish you and your girlfriend the very best and hope you find a dining experience that meets your needs. Best, The Aiāna Team

    I celebrated my birthday there and it was just very classy and the ambiance was beautiful. The food could use a bit of more seasoning, I had the beef cheek and there was almost no salt or seasoning. But the desert was very good! It was popcorn flavoured desert dish - very creative and tasted amazing. The service was 10/10. Overall was a great night thank you to the team. ☺️
