Great food! Polite and energetic staff!
I ordered steak Oscar. Steak was alright, at least cooked the way I ordered. Brussle sprouts and squash was nicely done and not over cooked and the garlic mashed potatoes were also quite good. Here is my biggest problem. Was supposed to be served with crab, shrimp and Béarnaise sauce. The 3 shrimp were very nice but the small dollop of crab (dare I say from a can) was weak. The horrifying part was that the Béarnaise sauce was actually cheddar cheese sauce and I would bet the cost of our meal it was an “add water and stir” package. Yuck. My wife had the mango chipotle chicken. Generous portion of chicken, but the mango salsa was sad – including unripe, inedible mango. The chipotle season, was again, likely a “shake from a bottle” store brand seasoning. To top things off there was a hair in her food. The best thing we had there was a glass of Cave Spring Riesling and Trapiche Malbec... and fast service. For $100 tip in I’d rather buy the ingredients and make this at home... and feed 4 people!
Great place to eat. Nice settings. Excellent service.
I like the food and the atmosphere. My BIGGEST issue is the fact that the waitresses all have their LONG HAIR dangling in the food they serve. I raised this issue with the manager in an email and I never heard back. Probably because I cited the City of Ottawa health code that states people who handle food (and I believe waitresses are considered to be handling food) must wear their hair back. It is just gross and I cannot believe this has not been addressed!
