The food was excellent, and the staff was incredibly friendly! However, it was a bit pricey.

This place is great — small menu but everything was done super well. And it came fast for two hungry diners. Great ambience, can go either casual or serve as a nice date spot. The service was really great — super amicable and helpful staff, that clearly worked well together. Will come again for sure to try some more of their tasty sounding dishes.

My favourite restaurant in Ottawa! The food is always amazing, and very well-priced especially compared to other nearby options. They were so quick with my order, too—thumbs up all around.
