Went for my birthday after walking past the outdoor patio a few weeks ago, the scenery was absolutely beautiful (we went the end of June) all of the staff was friendly and helpful, noise level was fine, a decent amount of people and I was still able to hear my date. The food I was disappointed in, I got the 4 cheese pizza and maybe it’s a me thing but it wasn’t what I was expecting, no sauce and a floral/sweet taste that didn’t hit my preference. My date got the braised beef which was good but the potatoes were sooooo salty and I like salty foods and I was choking up, we definitely finished our waters. The outdoor section is almost worth going back again.

Service was terrible. It took over an hour to get our food. The dishes where good, but the restaurant was not that busy and most tables around d us waited a very long time for their order.

The ambiance really is lovely. The server was great but the food and drinks were pretty slow to come out. Food was very tasty (potatoes a bit too salty) but the rest of the dishes were delicious!

One of the nicest downtown spots for a casual meal. Great ambiance, delicious menu, and service was 10/10. Great place to take visitors when they come to Ottawa.
