Neighborhood gem

Welcome to OUZO Bar & Dining. A Mediterranean bar and restaurant inspired by our recent travels through the region.
As you enter you'll find the bar, a quintessentially European combination of alfresco, booth & bar seating. With an 80 bottle wine list from sommelier Jean Draillard, an extensive cocktail list from head mixologist Euan Ferderer & the perfect Mediterranean snack menu from head chef Ignacio Morales, the bar is one of a kind. No bookings, no turn times for tables just walk-ins only so come whenever and stay forever.

Upstairs you'll find the dining room. Soaked in natural light from the sky lights and the adjustable roof, the dining room will be the perfect spot for anything from a long lunch to a late dinner. We have created the perfect Mediterranean menu, cooking over woodfire to enhance flavours. From traditional dishes like slow cooked lamb shoulder & taramasalata to burrata & wagyu sirloin, this menu explores a range of flavours and dishes from the Mediterranean.

We booked for the Thursday evening pasta special. The service was good, attentive and timely. The food was really not all that. 3 burratas to share between 6, could use more bread than 1 per person but willing to forgive. The pastas came which were really the let down. We chose to share our pastas as a group and some pastas were fresh and hot, and other pastas were warm at best. The lamb ragu was average, and the cacio e Pepe was obviously made with a lot of cream rather than traditional - our friends cacio e Pepe was literally swimming in a pool of cream by the end of the serving. The tiramisu was pretty poor, a piece to share between 2 people, and didn’t really have any strong note of coffee, just cream. The drinks were nice though! Not terrible for 45 dollars each but wouldn’t recommend to anyone to go.

Hey Jess. Thanks for your review and we are sorry you had this experience at Ouzo. I just want to clarify a few things regarding the pasta night menu. The Foaccica & Burrata are meant to be shared as stated on our website. 1 piece of foaccica per person and 1 burrata to share between 2, so 3 burrata's between 6 is what you were meant to receive. I have passed your feedback onto the chefs regarding the pastas. I am glad you enjoyed the drinks and would love to see you back at Ouzo.

The service was extremely slow. We waited almost an hour for our pasta and they brought wrong dishes. We were 3 people for the pasta night set menu and were given a small tiramisu to share between us (same portion as they give for 2 people)

I booked a table for 14 for my birthday on Sunday 11th May. 2 more people arrived and the wait staff were great at accommodating this! We chose the bottomless brunch menu. The drinks were free flowing and plentiful. There was not enough food for the 16 of us, in particular the pasta, lamb and the tiramisu. The pasta came out and was cold. Despite not having enough food, the food was very good in general. My feedback would be more food would be great, as in some vases we only had one spoonful of pasta and 1 spoonful of tiramisu. Great service though!
