What a find! The ambiance & decor are fun and the food is fantastic. My husband has worked in the food industry and he was pretty impressed by the novel flavours. We had the ceviche, shrimp pappardelle, risotto & burger. Cocktails had some interesting flavours as well (we tried the Bird Watcher), and the deserts, spectacular! Had the flan and, I believe, the semifreddo.Service was amazing - friendly and attentive. Definitely want to come back on our next trip to Ottawa!

This place continues to impress! It has been a while since I enjoyed this restaurant, and it was amazing the first time. Years after, I had the opportunity to come back, which I'm greatfull for. The ambiance is only surpassed by the great service and excellent food. I haven't really spent much time on the main level, but the upstairs is fantastic and can also be booked for private events.

The champagne french fries were fantastic. This has an amazing atmospherical of kitsch. Staff was friendly and attentive. Like the fact that it didn't have an overcomplicated menu the meals that they did have were excellent

10/10 experience. Food,service, atmosphere...everything was perfect. We had the bang bnag shrimp, chicken ballontine, lions mean "steak", sticky toffee pudding and to drink I had the field fare. Not one miss in our opinion. We'll be back to try it all!

A great place for celebrating a birthday! The interior and decor is super cute. You can reserve their bird cage booths which are really nice. Drinks were pretty and food was amazing! We got the risotto, shrimp pasta and ceviche. The risotto portion is small but it was very flavourful. Our server was great and was very accommodating. Def worth a try! :)

We had the best experience hosting our wedding upstairs of the Starling Restaurant. We live out of province so had to do the majority of the planning virtually, which worked out really well. Rory and her team were super professional, organized, and made sure the day flowed smoothly. As a bride I really felt like everything was being taken care of, and could really enjoy and be in the moment with the guests. The food was delicious and everything they prepared had 10/10 reviews from our guests. Can't wait to pop in next time we are in Ottawa!
