   Sussex & Co. – A New Ottawa Gem Worth Every Bite and Sip We had the pleasure of visiting Sussex & Co. last night to celebrate Mother’s Day early with an evening date night — and what an experience it was! From the get-go, communication with the restaurant was seamless. I reached out via social media requesting a booth, and not only did they respond within minutes, but they followed up with a phone call confirming the reservation. That level of service before we even arrived set the tone for the night. The anticipation was real — their social media teasers had us excited — and they delivered. The design of the space is simply stunning. Warm tones and classy touches give it a cozy yet elegant vibe. The main bar is a showstopper with its extensive liquor selection. I was on the hunt for a tequila I’d never tried, and the bartender delivered — an excellent pick, delicious and reasonably priced. Now for the food: We started with oysters and the burrata. The oysters were fresh, flavourful, and the rosé vinaigrette was a standout touch. The burrata was rich and creamy, and we loved being able to choose the bread it came with — a small detail that made a big difference. For mains, my wife had the steak frites — a surprise hit. Incredible flavour and an unbeatable price. I had the ribeye (medium rare) with dauphinoise potatoes, and let me say this: I’ve eaten at every top steakhouse in Ottawa, and this was hands-down the best steak in the city. Perfectly cooked, beautifully marbled, and seasoned like a dream. The potatoes? The bomb. We kicked things off with a couple of cocktails — an off-menu espresso martini and a whiskey-vermouth martini-style drink. Both on point. The wine list impressed us too. The GM personally offered pairing advice and introduced us to a bottle so good, we ordered a second. Too full for dessert — a rarity — we ended our night in their hidden speakeasy. This space is jaw-dropping. Intimate, stylish, and full of charm.

   Good experience, good meal and great ambience. Only drawbacks is the price as it’s bit pricey. Will still definitely go back though.
