    Our server was great and the tasting menu with wine pairings was fun, though I would probably just order off the menu next time. I regret not asking to switch tables though… we were seated in the lower level right near the door and a window which meant I was staring at a coat wrack and space heater all night, plus freezing my butt off. We didn’t even get to see the restaurant :( the place was only 20% full so there were plenty of other tables available. Considering we spent $600 with tax and tip for 2 people I would have expected a better setup. Wines were also mostly Canadian. Unfortunately we left feeling pretty disappointed.

    What a wonderful experience we had. It had been at least 10 years since I was last at e18teen and was wondering if it would still be as good as it was years ago. Well, it certainly was. Beautiful inside; service was excellent and the meal was delicious. Highly recommended.

    This was a truly outstanding meal from beginning to end. The service was so exceptional that I have to say it ranked as possibly the best service I have *ever* had. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the ambiance is simply exquisite. We will definitely be going back. It was quite an expensive meal by our standards, but it was totally worth it!

    Everything was excellent. The chef's emphasis on serving Canadian-inspired food is a tribute to all Canadian refined food producers. One has to be proud of our achievements throughout the years. We appreciated the Québec foie gras, the Mariposa duck, and the tataki. The maître d' was also outstanding, making us welcome and attentive to accommodating our food wishes. We chose not to mention that the dinner was to underline a birthday. The latter came up quickly with a discreet and nicely sweet chocolate treat to celebrate it. Bravo, we will not hesitate to return at an early opportunity. PS: We are foodies who had a chance to eat at many refined tables in the world, be it the Circus in New York or Le Grand Véfour in Paris.

    This was our first visit at Eighteen and we can’t believe we waited this long because it was an outstanding experience from beginning to end. Our server, Manny, was knowledgeable and friendly, and helped us make some food decisions we did not regret! The entire meal was incredible, and the octopus and the duck were particularly excellent, as was the poached pear for dessert!

    We had an excellent meal! Service was outstanding- hats off to Alex and the manager - they went over and above in ensuring everything was perfect. The birthday offering was unexpected and wonderful to receive. We will recommend to friends and we will be back! Restaurant 18 is now our favourite Ottawa restaurant!
