Splendid time at a fun place with attentive service. Needed 4 small plates for 2 people. Ordered the scallops, salmon (2), and gnocchi, along with the B-Side Riesling. My absolute favorite was the scallops. Deliciously seared, no sand whatsoever, and in a mushroom-type broth. Everything was flavorful and, true to name, playful. Certainly not cheap but you get what you pay for here.

Had a fabulous time here on NYE. The tasting menu and wine pairing was incredible and we enjoyed everything. Our waitress was so kind and made the night extra special. The atmosphere is really warm and cozy.

Amazing restaurant, great ambiance, the staff was very friendly. The plates were absolutely amazing and flavorful. The soup was creamy and perfectly balanced with the cheese. Ñoquis was a different than the traditional combination, exotic yet delicious. The salmon was amazing, perfectly cooked and crispy. The pork was juicy but a little unbalanced with the beet puree. 2 small plates per person are enough unless you are super hungry. This is a great place to have a food and unique experience. Make your reservations.

We popped in without a reservation and we’re lucky to be seated right away. It was such a treasured experience. We had wine, warm olives, mushroom croquettes, grilled octopus, endive salad, pappardelle, and orange almond cake. We were stuffed and happy.

The food here is incredible and the wine pairings were spot on. I had the gnocchi, mushroom croquettes and my wife had the octopus and the scallops. With a couple apps as well, we left feeling very content. Will definitely be back for other special occasions. The one small critique I have is that the service can be a bit slow to start. We waited 10 minutes for our drinks and then another 15 before our server stopped by again to take our food order, so be prepared to really take your time. Again, still a great experience.

Perfect place to celebrate a family birthday and sample a wide variety of small plates - all bursting with flavour! The service is second to none.

I loved the option to share dishes. The dishes were staggered so as to allow you to finish one set before bringing the next. This gave the evening a very relaxed feel. Each dish was fabulous. The highlight for me was the relish that came with the charcuterie. It was so fresh and tasty and paired with the lamb sausage.

A local fine dining place that we were so glad we found it, right at the edge of the Ottawa downtown Byward market. The place was nicely decorated and super clean. The service was top notch. The chef came talked to us about the dishes and checked on us from time to time. We tried all the small plates on the menu (hmm almost all!), the cold cuts, the steak, the fish cake, the creamy cod, and few more... Every dishes were amazingly tasty and flavourful.I would want to rate this place 6 STARS if I could, the best restaurant of our whole trip!

Wow! Everything was excellent. When I say everything I mean everything. The addition of caramelized butter with the bread took even a simple sourdough bread to the next level. The food was amazing and the way that the dishes were brought out to compliment each other was incredible. The wine that was recommended for the mushroom croquettes paired perfectly. Of the four plates we had I would definitely recommend the gnocchi and mushroom croquettes. The flavours and textures were out of this world and they were truly the best dishes I have had so far in Ottawa. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at play and to top it off the service from Paul was excellent. What a great night out celebrating our anniversary.
