   Great location on Sussex. Sat by window & enjoyed people watching. I had the tenderloin, my friends had the salmon and duck. Our plates were spotless! Not a lot of drink options despite the walls of liquor on display. Will definitely return to try their appetizers.

   My wife and I typically shares tastes of our meals and the winner between us was the mushroom ravioli. My Braised Duck with blueberry risotto was very good. Service was excellent. Value wise we rated our experience better than a 1Elgin at the NAC

   Matthieu was a fantastic server. He accommodated our special needs with grace, was attentive, and solved problems before we were even aware they existed. Joy was a beautiful room with eclectic decor’ comfortable seating spaces, and a great bar. Our food was inspired, imaginative and expertly prepared. Would definitely return.

    Run down and dirty. seating and tables outdated Bathrooms smelled like sewage and dirty. Horrible service Waitress with no communication skills whatsoever took our drink order which she wrote down-15 min later the manager came back saying there was a “misunderstanding “ and she didn’t know what we ordered! We left and I will definitely not come back .

    Joy on SussexResponded on September 12, 2022Hi ottawafoodie, we are truly saddened that your experience was subpar. We will be sure to bring this up with our management team.

    It was the worst experience with service and quality of food. The calamari had one piece of fish and the rest was garnish and potato. The prime rib was served cut into strips instead of served whole and was seasoned so much with salt. It made me wonder what it was. the asparagus was over cooked and stringy that I couldn't cut with a fork. the the price of all of this was way over priced. I wanted to speak with the manager because it too so long and ended up with a sub standard dining experience. The waitress was terrible and delayed with the simplest tasks of making sure that we were getting what we asked for, instead after 30 minutes mentioned that the stove is having problems. I would not ever recommend this restaurant Joy.

    This place came so highly rated I wanted to try it. So disappointing. I had the duck with a blueberry risotto and a cranberry au jus. The duck was cooked well but the risotto was a disaster swimming in oil not an au jus.. tried two bites ..was inedible. My partner had the tenderloin, again beef cooked well but overcooked asparagus, and the potato dauphinoise was grainy. On the positive side the drinks were excellent and the service was very good, but their entrees were lacking.

    Enjoy the ambience.like the interior design.presentation of food is good.just need to reduce the saltiness of gravy. duck breast blueberry rissoto is creative combination.The duck meat is well seaoned and tender.The bar tender was very attentive,accommodating to my request. As I could not drink alcoholic drink,he prepared the mocktail or summer drink to me. The drink was refreshing and suitable for hot weather on that day. Strongly recommend this restaurant.

    Our bill amounted to $200, plus tip and we were asked to leave the table by 10 pm. We were never offered another drink or even dessert. For that reason, we will not be going back and I would not recommend it to friends.

    Delicious food and awesome service. The only thing I would change would be the music: maybe something more calming, like soft jazz or more in a romantic style. Less club music. I highly recommend the place!!

    Had a wonderful valentines date night. Valentines menu was amazing, food was incredible, very good portion sizes for a five course meal. Love that we didn’t feel overly full by dessert. Matt gave us great service. Described all the menu items lovely, and was very attentive. Great drinks as well.

    Went for Valentine’s Diner. We were not impressed with the service, for $80 Per person for the price fixe, we weren’t even told about it, nor greeted, they just brought the first course without even talking to us. the food was not bad but quite basic for what they charge. We waited 15-20 minutes between courses.. this was absolutely the worst part of it, sitting there waiting for over 45 mins total. plus an 18% + tip is mandatory… I know they just reopened, but it was not the best experience sadly especially on Valentine’s Day

    We ordered drinks and never received anything after waiting 45 mins. Others that came after were served and we were even asked to move tables. We even reminded them that they forgot us! Then as we left after not receiving our order they told us to have a great night. Like, okay 😬

    My partner & I went for an early Valentines dinner, and the experience was extremely memorable. The hostesses & servers were very kind, polite & attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The drinks were absolutely beautiful & tasty. The type of pierogies we ordered were not available, but the server brought us the other type and took it off the bill, which was so nice of her! The braised beef was absolutely to die for, but the salmon was the slightest bit unflavored — we feel like it had some more potential than what it came as, but was still very enjoyable. Overall, it was an amazing experience. Rather expensive, but to be expected for such a high-end place in the heart of downtown. I am actively recommending this restaurant to friends and family — thank you so much to the kitchen & front-house staff for a great evening. Much love.
