                                                    We are in Ottawa from out of town for work. There are many restaurants to choose from, and many experiences we wanted to have. Something about the menu here caught our eye, and we did not regret our decision at all. For the one night out we had this restaurant was beyond our expectations. The ambiance is fantastic, we came for a date night, had gorgeous drinks, the staff was so friendly and accommodating. The food.. the food is beyond delicious. The chef really understands concepts of flavours. His playfulness is fun, while execution was on point. I would high recommend this restaurant, and cannot wait to be able to come back
