They served us the starters and main course at same time. Like trying to rush us out. We had to rush eat since everything on the table at once. Table went silent as none of us were pleased. Then on other hand had to wait almost 20min for a second drink. On top of that 30$ for a Mediterranean Bowl with cold chicken, canned artichokes not roasted, and canned chickpeas for 30$.Not impressed this time at all. Our prev experiences were better.

I normally dont post negative reviews, but i recommended this restaurant to my coworkers for a going away party and it was just not a great experience, 3 or 4 things on the food menu they didn't have, and even the white wine we wanted they didnt have any left, the worst of it was my coworker got food poisoning. After she had the salmon and parmesean fries, not even 40 minutes later her stomach started hurting and felt bloated, its been 2 days and she had barely been able to leave the bathroom and had to take time off work to recover from this. I just hope that in the future they take more precautions in the kitchen and are more prepared.

Best steak I have had with the rolls of mash potatoes just melts in your mouth ?. Service is quick, the ambiance is super. Week ends make your reservation in advance.

Bubbly white at the door, nice knowledgeable waitress with manners, and the atmosphere is my vibe! I’m from Montreal and I rarely rave about Ottawa. But this is definitely a place I ABSOLUTELY want to go back to!! And the food was so tasty and fresh! We had a blast and I can’t wait to go back! 10/10 recommend.I loved the lettuce wraps the most!
Daphny was the loveliest server ever! Amazing night

We had dinner and it was a busy Saturday night, the fries we ordered were cold and stale, we asked for them to be sent back. They came out again cold but fresher. The entree I wanted wasn't available, the beers on tap were not available. It was very strange. Ambiance was good and the highlight of the experience was our server, Rebecca! She was so sweet, funny and really made up for food.Dietary restrictions: Very few gluten free options.

Joey Rideau is my go to lunch restaurant in downtown Ottawa when travelling for business. The food is always high quality, the atmosphere inviting, and the service provided by Delaney on this day was exceptional. Her friendly and energetic personality added to an excellent food experience. Thank you Joey Rideau!
