I booked a reservation to celebrate my mother's birthday with my sister. We sat at the bar where Julien served us. He provided amazing service and was particularly attentive to accommodating a gluten allergy at our table. My mom was thrilled, and we loved the bison main course—topped off perfectly with a candle on the dessert!

Food is innovative, beautifully presented and very tasty. Service attitudes are also very good: friendly, knowledgeable, especially good detailed descriptions of dishes as presented. However the server numbers were inadequate so we had to flag down servers every time: to get drinks, to get an order in, to get additional wine with the mains, to order dessert. Our assigned server tried to get along without notes. Worked OK until the bills which attributed drinks and dishes wrongly across our two couples. Then, of course, we had to get up and corral another server to get these corrected.

The service and food here is incredible, Chef Cameron's andolini pasta is my favorite dish. The brilliance of the popcorn Parmesan with the fermented corn pasta and red pepper mole is and adventure of flavors! The servers here are knowledgeable and genuine, definitely one of my favorite destinations in Ottawa.
