    Food is great - always creative and delicious. Concern today as my dining guest mentioned a sensitivity to spinach. She realized her green salad was full of fresh spinach. She picked it out but it could have made her quite sick. Either server did not pass this along or kitchen forgot. Allergies are important to take note of - especially when server asks and gets a reply.

    We had a reservation and we were never told that we had a time limit. Had a lovely dinner and when our waitress asked if we wanted to order another drink, we did. She returned a couple minutes later telling us that she had another reservation waiting and we needed to leave right away, so she couldn’t serve us our drinks. Not even an offer to move us to the bar. Food was great as always but that soiled the experience.

    Our server was great. Toast was burnt asked for another toast and server gave us 10% off bill for inconvenience. Was very kind of her.

    Our server Emma really elevated our experience by providing exceptional recommendations on our first time at the restaurant. We ordered foccacia paired with warm olives and each had a pasta dish. Everything was incredibly tasty and unique.

    Wonderful place to spend a cold evening in Ottawa. Food was outstanding, simple menu but delicious. Wine by the glass was expensive.
