Fauna restaurant offers an incredible coconut/rhubarb dessert and impeccable food, including the Quebec rack of lamb. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, helping with wine selections. While the menu is small, everything on it is excellent, with some reviews highlighting dishes like lobster bisque, steak prepared to perfection, and the best tartare (veal) many have ever had. The restaurant boasts a beautiful spot and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, making it ideal for special occasions or a fine night out. Although service is usually attentive, there have been instances where a server may overlook guests, affecting the experience. The attention to detail and quality ingredients keep customers returning. One challenge noted is that when the dining room is full, it can be difficult to speak and hear each other, suggesting sound absorption could improve the experience. Overall, Fauna provides a high-end, elegant dining experience with great appetizers and cocktails, ensuring many guests keep coming back for more. It remains a local favorite, recognized for its delicious offerings and knowledgeable staff, making it a go-to spot for visitors to Ottawa.
