The last few times I've gone to Beckta I've reserved a table in their Wine Bar for a more relaxed, although still a very luxe, atmosphere. The service is always excellent, the food is always delicious and I always leave happier than when I arrived. They also have a fabulous wine and cocktail list (non alcoholic drinks as well) and if you're unsure what to get they will help pair your drink perfectly to your meal. Top of my list for places to go in Ottawa for a higher-end meal. Note - their happy hour this year was very reasonable if you're looking to try them out.

★★★★★ Another fantastic night at JOEY Rideau! The food was amazing, and Serena made the evening. She’s warm, personable, and has a way of making everyone at the table feel welcome. If you’ve never been to a JOEY, I highly recommend stopping in for a bite. And if you want to make it a memorable night out, ask for Serena!

Excellent lunch sharing menu. The fishcake and shrimp tacos were delicious - an interesting blend of flavours in every bite. Our server Ash was knowledgeable, kind and attentive. And peanut butter butterfinger for desert still tracks - yum.

I had a truly amazing experience visiting lavender earlier this week. I had heard a lot of wonderful things about it from friends and family and was curious so I decided to book a reservation for my date. Upon arrival I was greeted and seated very quickly. They had a wide range of options that I'm looking forward to exploring but upon the waiters suggestion we tried the calamari the gnocchi and the ravioli and all of the above were truly spectacular. The service was fast and they took care to Make sure we weren't lacking anything. Additionally I wanted to say if you are in need of planning an event the venue seems perfect they have multiple areas with lavender flowers hanging from the ceiling which create an opportunity to create unforgettable memories.

    My wife and I have returned several times and Fauna never disappoints. The menu is seasonal - there's always something new on offer and it's always excellent. One mainstay on the starter menu is the bison tartare - I get it every time and if it were possible I would order it as a main. Service is the perfect balance of casual and professional. Ambience and decor is perfect. 100% recommend Fauna.
