THE FEMALE SOMMELIER MADE THE EVENING. Booked a table for four on a Saturday; they were very up front about the 2 hour time limit which we appreciated. No one speaking French at our table was not an issue in the least. Our server was lovely and knowledgeable but the real MVP was the Somm. She came out batting like Babe Ruth; knocking our flights and wine descriptions out of the park. When we moved onto choosing a bottle; she took the time to bring several options to the table - call her Mikey Mantle why don’t you. Lovely time; food quality was excellent, cocktail were good, Somm was superb.

Waiter was nice but not impressed. We had to ask for a new glass after apéro. We had champagne followed by red wine. Obviously need to change the glass. For a wine bar we were not impressed. Also when we arrived the hostess told us that we had two hours and needed to be gone in 2 hours. So for a first visit not impressed. We ordered 6 plates in total and we were done in less than one hour- 3 plates being brought at the same time. So not a great experience.

Ma plus grande déception a été le service du vin. Les produits? Rien à dire! Excellente sélection et merveilleuses découvertes! Par contre, on m’a fait dégusté 5 vins et servi mes 2 verres dans le meme et unique verre. On ne l’a jamais changé. Pas une seule fois. Ceci a été une terrible déception, je m’attendais à une façon de faire qui dépasse les normes sachant qui est la propriétaire de l’établissement.

This was the first time we tried Soif. Every plate we had was excellent. What incredibly creative combinations that hit the palate with delight. The service was very good as well although they seemed to rush to take the plates away just a bit too fast. It would be lovely if they offered 1/2 glasses of wine like some other small plate restaurants in Ottawa so one could try a wine combination with each small plate. Very much recommended.
