Vanessa! Amazing service. Food is fantastic. Cannot believe how awesome they renovated this…read more(formerly JJ's Pub). Upstairs is a beautiful speakeasy with gambling machines and velvet couches. A big variety of food. The specials are interesting. I chose the cheese ravioli special with wild mushrooms. Friend had marinara pasta with sausage. We had a starter the cheese burrata and the prosciutto on the side. The cheese was soooooo good. Vanessa went out of her way to make us happy. We had to send the pasta back as it was too spicy for my friend. They remade it and it was perfect for her. I had a blanc de blanc champagne but there was no fizz and the waitress happily got me a different sparkling. I loved the ravioli. Great ambiance. Highly recommend.

New Italian restaurant in Ottawa in the 100 block of W Main Street…read more Reservations are two days in advance but the walk up on a Saturday was about a 45 (and that's a long estimate) minute wait at the great bar !! Started off with some great draft beers $5 for a Yungling pint and an $18 bourbon flight that my husband raved about. After a bit of a wait but with drinks !! We got a table and since we had looked at the menu at the bar we were ready to order. (You could order food at the bar too we just chose not to as we were in no rush) We got a loaf of fresh bread that came with olive oil for dipping that had some chili flakes in it that gave it a bit of a zing. (My only thing is that it would have been nice to have some Parmesan to shake into it to give it a bit of body beyond just oil). But all in all it was yummy. Onto our main courses. I got the shrimp and calamari Diablo. And yes. It's hot. Spicy and also temperature from the kitchen. But the flavor was amazing and it was full of calamari rings and the little tentacles and some really good sized shrimps too and the linguini was so good. The sauce you could tell was fresh and full of tomato chunks. The husband got chicken shrimp and sausage carbonara. Again full of flavor and meat and peas and delicious pasta. Oh and dessert was two home made cannoli with the pistachios on the ends and the best not too sweet cream inside. For our two meals and two glasses of house red blend ($5 each) it was 80.00. It was plenty of food to make two fat kids very happy. The servers were very nice. The bartenders were friendly as they were super hopping. All in all we will Be back to try more dishes as they all looked great coming out of the kitchen. This is a great date night spot and something new and different than your normal burger, pizza or bar food kinda place. Try it. You will want to come back !!!

The fried ravs were fine. The old smokey drink was real good though. My chicken marsala was huge. It was quite flavorful, but I think the sauce was a bit thin. The four cheese ravioli was impressive as well. Both came with salads, and I believe that it was homemade creamy garlic dressing. I had a sweet tooth, but tiramasu was sold out. I got the impression that the chef was not too thrilled about making creme Brule so may be next time. Really good food though. I have leftovers.

Definitely don't judge an establishment based on what it looks like from the outside…read more This looked like someone's house but you walk in and it's a cozy restaurant with an amazing patio. We were seated in their second dining room which was away from the bar and main dining room. We were kinda bummed we got sat there but it ended up being ok. There was a large party seated behind us so it was quite noisy. We ordered martinis which were good. For an appetizer we got the fried pickles and those were delicious. Full of dill pickle flavor and the breading was very light. I ordered the salmon and sautéed spinach which was one of the specials. My dinner companion hit the rib eye and blackened shrimp. Both entrees came with a salad and the steak with a potato. Our appetizer and salads came out right away. The salad was very disappointing. Only lettuce pretty much, no tomatoes or anything else. I think it might have had cucumber. Very lack luster. My salmon and spinach was great!! I enjoyed it and the salmon portion was generous. I had enough to take home. The ribeye was cooked medium rare as requested and it was very good. Shrimp was great and had a nice spice to it. The French fries were cold though. Service was ok. I would definitely try them out again but be warned that they are a bit overpriced. Parking is terrible and you need a reservation. The patio was nice and I loved the fire places. There was live music that night. Overall good place for maybe a special occasion.

Although presentation showed yummy and a nice size portion. Dish turned out to be misleading. Omelette was a tad bit scorched and bland. Hash browns and wheat toast was cold.

For starters they are open for lunch !! Yay sushi for lunch !!…read more Started with some appetizers. The spring rolls were ok. I was hoping for fresh wrapped in rice paper but they were deep fried. Not my favorite. For the next week got the tuna takati. Now that was so good !! A beautiful light sear and a delicious taste and the presentation was also so nicely done !!! For mains I got the seafood ceviche salad. My does that have some good heat !! Nice amounts of seafood and you can really taste it all, it isn't overpowered at all like some I have had in the past. Totally one I would order again. Also split a white sox roll with the husband and again a great tasting dish !! The restaurant is clean. The staff is really nice and the ice tea is great as well. Try this place, you won't be disappointed !!!

This restaurant has perhaps been open a few months and they did a really nice job with the space…read more We were warmly greeted and allowed to choose where to sit so we chose to be seated near the window. Shea was our waitress and did a great job. We started with the soft shell crab appetizer which was a bit underwhelming. It was tempura battered but it contained just two pieces of crab, two onions and two pieces of broccoli. I would not get this again as I thought there would be more crab. The tuna tataki appetizer made up for it. The pieces are generous, covered in sesame seeds and melted in your mouth. The dipping sauce was a great addition. We also shared an MJ roll which was wrapped in soy paper and had tempura shrimp, yellowtail, jalapeño and cucumber. It was quite good. We also had a dragon roll which my husband really enjoyed. It had shrimp tempura, BBQ eel, avocado, cucumber and eel sauce. My aunt ordered avocado salad and added chicken. It had generous pieces of cut chicken on top and was a nice looking salad. My husband also enjoyed the gyoza which were six large potstickers filled with chicken. They serve wine and beer, plus have a small selection of sake. They were sold out of all sake except Gekkeikan sake, which we tried cold. The waitress made a little mistake at the end with the bill and credit card payments, which she credited and redid. We paid cash for one meal and card for the rest but the cash item was accidentally added to the total bill and credit card. It was corrected and all was fine. We loved the food and atmosphere and would definitely come back.

Went here for Valentine's Day dinner and it had its hit and misses…read more We just got appetizers and sake. The sake was good. However there was no prices listed on the menu. My plum sake reserved was 30.0 for a small bottle. (Whoops). But it was Valentine's Day so honestly it wasn't a biggie. Onto the food. For starters we got the spring rolls and soup dumplings. The spring rolls were made fresh and very good. Only thing that would have been nice is if they were wrapped with the ends closed up as when you tried to dip them in the delicious sauce that came with the insides fell out a bit. They had a good mix of lettuce, noodles, shrimp and a little shredded crab I believe. (It was dark in there so was hard to tell). The soup dumplings were to die for !! Nothing more to say but small bites of heaven. And they didn't come out so hot that you popped on into your mouth and were hit with boiling insides. Will definitely go back for these again. Now to the meh ones. The crab Rangoon needed more filling and more crab. Kinda bland. And the jalapeño stuffed wontons also needed more peppers and bacon. Just not a ton of flavor other than fried. We did not have room for any of the rolls but they looked interesting. Not a lot of "raw" ones so if that's your think your choices are limited. It's a cute little space the staff was super nice and it was a last minute dinner reservation so that was a plus. They were really hopping to bring out all the food stuffs and we left with the intention of coming back on a less busy day to try more items.

Service was good but wish I could say the same about the pizza…read more Ordered thin but got thick bread, sauce was bland along with the other toppings. Have had other items in the past that were tasty but if you're thinking about getting a pizza stick with the big dogs Alfano's, Bianchi's, Sam's etc.

Decided to try something new for my birthday and went with a friend to play 9 holes. Gorgeous…read morecourse and definitely a deal price on Tuesdays before 11am. Problem came with the course staff. Zero complaints on the maintenance staff they were very aware of golfers and very polite. This was my first time ever golfing more than mini golf. Knowing I would be slow we immediately let a twosome play through. We kept an eye on the twosome behind us to make sure they weren't waiting. It was getting close but they were just slightly slower than us in terms of pace. A course manager (not sure what they're called) waited for me to get some pointers and then politely interrupted asking if we are allowing people to play through. He clearly didn't know we had already let a twosome play through and were keeping a close eye on the twosome behind us. I was already embarrassed enough from playing terrible and just decided to skip the rest of this hole and let the two some behind us play through and my friend continued to finish the hole and I started on the next hole but at least he was polite. Again, the twosome was slightly slower than us so the next couple of holes we were actually waiting a minute or two on them. No big deal they were super thankful and we were fine to wait. Then a female twosome came up behind us as we were waiting for the twosome in front to get off the green, that's when a different course manager came up to us on the fairway and rudely/aggressively yelled at us "you can't just sit there, the ladies behind you are about to tee off!" We pointed to the men infront of us as they started to pull away and stated we were just waiting for them to go. He sarcastically said "oh you really think you can hit that far?" My friend then gets out and hits his ball which lands not 5-10 yards from where the other twosome had just been then makes a joke about had the tree not been there it would've gone farther. Actually it landed just about where one of the men had just been standing. We picked up my ball and I was done playing for the day. My friend finished the next 2 holes. This is probably a great course for a decent price for experienced golfers but definitely not beginner friendly solely because of the staff.

When we first walked…read morein, I wasn't sure we had made a good choice but that changed quickly when the waitress was very friendly and accommodating. We ordered a Patty Melt and a senior dinner of Country fried steak. The Patty Melt was very good and the Country fried steak meal was good and also included a drink and dessert. The cost was reasonable and especially liked paying one price and having a drink and dessert included. Everything seemed freshly cooked to order except the canned green beans. Brightly lit and friendly atmosphere with the owner working the register. It appears a lot of locals come here often. We will return when we are back in town.

My Mom likes the 1 pork chop meal for $10.99 which comes with a large soup, vegetable, potatoes and a small dessert. Great value. Pam was so sweet and packed up our to-go order with care. She put a small tapioca pudding in a container for my mom to go with her meal. Pam was very kind to us and I hope we see her again next time we dine here. My favorite is the breakfast omelette $10.75. The vegetarian omelette is a good portion with hash browns. I did not want toast but it comes with it. My mother also enjoys the senior meatloaf which comes with the same sides as the pork chop. The dining area is a cool gray decor and very clean and modern. They really fixed this place up very well. Overall wholesome food and a great place for a meal, with nice people running the restaurant.
