Our party of four began with cocktails, warm olives, and focaccia, followed by the root vegetable salad, scallops, another round of that irresistible focaccia, the cod, and finally the lamb dish. Every course was exceptional--beautifully prepared, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. We couldn't manage dessert this time, but that just gives us the perfect reason to return. I'm not sure when I will be back, but I hope I will have the opportunity to eat here again.

Busy lunchtime that died down after 3pm and was able to enjoy a bday lunch. My first time here. Had…read moreheard a lot about it. It's been here on Bell's Corners a long time. Quick thoughts... the space is older but nice. Paper napkin type place. Brunch ends at 3pm and then there is another menu. Continental meets Italian style dining with a little Italian style Market upfront. Service was professional, kind but minimal. Ordered was a Caesar salad with a grilled salmon filet added. Very healthy. The dressing was more of a vinaigrette served with lemon wedge. I did not eat the croutons, thats just me. They were ok. Salmon was well seasoned but was missing something, spice or a citrus sauce. I ate it all, as is. Light, light lunch. I never finish a dish and I did! Rolls came with my meal..they were just ok. Took them home! Nothing goes to waste on my table!! My company had the mushroom sandwich on focaccia. It came with a salad. She really liked it. The house white wine was quite good. We wore our coats for much of the visit as unfortunately, it was very cold in there and most seats are against the large windows. Dessert was offered but nothing was done extra for the birthday and that's ok. But good to note. We liked the stain glass art that hung and that was for sale. We also liked that we were not rushed out of there as my company had come from quite aways and we chatted for a bit. Water glasses never refilled though. I could see the cooks making the fresh linguine in the back for dinner service. Yum! I also met the owner. He was cordial. It didn't blow me away here but I'd like to try a pizza and a pasta item one day. I would recommend to others. Good location with plenty of parking. If you see one day on line that they are booked up re seating, call and they will take your reso that way as they likely have space.

This is my family's go-to brunch spot and we cannot recommend this place enough. Everything from…read moretheir AMAZING service to the quality of their food and coffees are perfect. It's a family run business and everyone is always super nice! Every time we go - not even an exaggeration- they always serve guests with the brightest smile. They're so thoughtful and caring and really make you want to come here just for the interactions. Also, can I just say- for some reason, it's always so hard to find GOOD quality black coffee that's not sour and that the portions are fair for its price. LUNA HANDS DOWN has one of the best coffees in Ottawa and the portion size is 10/10. There's also lots of seating with a comfortable sitting environment and it's not too loud even during rush hours during lunch time. They have patios opened during summer, very cozy!

Should have checked in on all the negative reviews everywhere on this place. I would give a -5 if I…read morecould. Surprised it is still in business. Went in to buy some cookies as a treat for my grandsons. I paid cash as they only take cash, debit or e transfer. The worker there was making strange noises so I asked her if she was ok. She yelled "No, your perfume is making me sick!" I was shocked. I told her I was not wearing any perfume nor was I wearing deodorant. She immediately started swearing at me calling me a "Stupid c##t!" Unbelievable now finding out this worker is actually the business owner. My response was right back at her in her low life language. I tossed her box of cookies at the door on my way out...good riddance! She may be "just a girl (her pic is from 30 years ago) trying to help the celiac world" as she responds to everyone's reviews but it sounds like she needs help in another area. This was sheer whack-a-doodle rage. Looking at her videos/pics she is touching the food with bare hands (customers are supposed to believe your hands are clean?) yet she screams at others and insists they wear gloves. If you are that sensitive wear a mask for Pete's sake lady. People use soap to wash their clothes and their hands. Can't wait to see how she responds to this incident and tries to turn it around on me who simply asked if she was ok out of kindness. Stay as far away from this place as you can unless you want your head bit off.

AVOID at all costs** So i was in the neighbourhood and decided I wanted to support a small business I have been following on FB for a while. I understand that these are difficult times and we are all having rough days, but I was truly disappointed when my boyfriend and I visited today for lunch and felt so uncomfortable. There was no music or radio to fill the silence. The owner was snippy and came off as very standoffish and cold in our interactions. We respected all social distance and non touching rules while in the store, so there was no reason to make us feel so unwelcome. Though we were served in a timely manner, there was no friendly smile, no great customer service, no feeling of appreciation for our visit to the bistro. I don't know if she was having a bad day or what, but our experience today makes us never want to return, and not want to recommend To clarify: -we asked for certain things, even asked if she was okay to make sandwiches, and she said yes. - when she said no quesadilla, i said fine, not a problem - she snapped at John to stay on the mat ONCE, and we did. - we stayed on the mat and did look around the store a bit, but stayed in one place. - the customer behind us came in and asked about his order. He waited, and eventually said he would return. She NEVER asked him to come to the cash, and neither did he. - yes we waited inside the cafe for the food. She never told us at the time to please wait outside, we would have if she had said anything to us. The owner of this business is a sour, rude, disrespectful woman, and it's not okay for her to continue to blame, shame, and make WILD untrue accusations about my boyfriend and I

We picked out several items to bring home: a scone, lemon cupcake, chocolate cupcake, a chocolate raspberry parfait, a raspberry bomb, and a brownie with peanut butter icing. We also both each got a smoothie, one blueberry, honey, Greek yogurt and a strawberry banana. Unbeatable flavor with the smoothies. So many different ingredients and the price was very reasonable! The treats were so very good. The peanut butter icing on the brownie was a little too sweet for my taste but omg still so tasty. The raspberry in the parfait was also too sweet (for our taste) but again, the flavor was SO good. I could not believe how tasty all these things were. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for something sweet and gluten free. It's so hard to get a really good gluten free treats around here and this is the place you can get them! This is my new favorite bakery! Also.. LGBT+ love and inclusion. They also do lunch items that I haven't gotten to try yet, but such a reall, REALLY tasty looking menu for those. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more items!

We got 5 items and overall they were very good. Mom said they tasted like regular desserts and she couldn't tell they were gluten-free. I agree. We are not gluten-free, we just love desserts so wanted to check out this new bakery ;) We got a lemon square ($4.50), a Nanaimo Bar ($4.50), carrot cake slice ($6), a blueberry scone ($4) and a slice of maple cheesecake ($5.99). Everything was moist and rich. Nothing was dry nor crumbly. The blueberry scone was my favourite. It was chock-full of big plump blueberries. They have a good variety of baked goods, both sweet and savoury. In the grocery store section they have gluten-free snacks such as crackers and also different gluten-free flours and mixes. Staff were friendly. Lots of free parking in the strip mall parking lot.
