They have a great patio that looks so inviting. My wife and I went here for a date night and came away disappointed. We received our drinks promptly and after that didn't see our waitress again until 45 minutes later when our food arrived mostly cold. I sent my meal back since I saw it sitting on the counter about 6 minutes before my wife's meal was ready. Her wagyu beef burger was okay, but nothing special and the loaded potato was lukewarm. Overall not a great visit. I tried to email management about the experience first and never received a response.

Went here for a holiday lunch with a couple of colleagues and I got the mussels and toasted baguette. When it came out, it smelled extremely fishy and half the mussels were closed and the other half were undercooked and mushy. I luckily didn’t get sick from the dish but I wouldn’t order this again.

I really wanted this place to be nice but I cant bring myself to give it more than 3 stars…
The food was average at best. They try to elevate it by putting micro greens on it but in my opinion it was a bit of a lipstick on a pig situation.
And then there’s the service. Or the lack thereof… it took forever to wait for someone to take order and then 2 x forever to actually receive the food.
The space itself is beautiful and that’s pretty much all they have going…

I came here for brunch a few years ago and it was very good. Most recently I went for a coffee and chocolate amandine. It was delicious! I love the ambiance and the fact that it's located in the basement of a church. Very worth checking out!
Kid-friendliness: We came with our baby during a weekday, it was very quiet.

I had the quiche which was good but the portion was extremely small for the price. The salad it came with was mostly lettuce.

The food sure does look pretty, doesn't it? The venue is unique and attractive, and those are the only positive things I have to say about this place. I knew it was going to be a bad experience when I asked the server if the duck was served rare. (It was sort of a trick question because duck is ALWAYS supposed to be served rare.) They told me that no, it's well done. The server said that the Beef Wellington would be cooked medium rare, so even though I REALLY wanted the duck, I opted for the Beef Wellington. It arrived well done to the point where I had to chew it like bubble gum to be able to swallow it. My dinner companion's fish was dry and overcooked. (Do they stick everything in the bread oven at this place?) Of course I'm not going to pay $40 for overcooked meat. The server had the kitchen make me another one and offered a free appetizer in the meantime. We opted for the squid and chorizo. Eating the squid was like eating rubber bands. It was so, so bad. It didn't take long for the server to return with my Wellington. It turns out that it didn't take long because THIS time, it was RAW. It wasn't rare, or even blue. It was RAW! The hostess told me that they rent out the upstairs for events, so obviously, the owner won't care that they lost my business forever so this review is meant to warn other diners. For Heaven's sake, don't waste your money at this converted Church.

We were on a date, they sat us with other people, it was quite awkward. The seafood parpadelle was bland, the service was slow, we were quite disappointed.

The food is tasty and the ambience is cool... Tip: if you are not someone that tends to over eat, share a plate with somebody! The portions are way too big for me, and others. I looked around and lots of food gets wasted as it is hard to finish everything on the plate. I hope they could readjust the portions to waste less. Also, they are not adaptable at all. For example, if you ask for a dish with scrambled eggs instead of poached, they cannot accommodate that simple ask. Weird.

Friday night, one server working, absolute chaos. This was our second and last time dining, the same experience both times. Everything took a long time, drinks were never refilled or asked about ordering another. The table next to us food came out 15 minutes apart. Just a disaster.
Can't live without a loaf of theirmulti-grain sourdough! Excellent place for lunch and dinner.

I've enjoyed the patio here several times & it's consistently good service and creative food and drink choices. Wonderful atmosphere.
My most recent visit was an order to-go & I was served probably the best iced chai latte in Ottawa! Not overly sweet, good blend of spices, perfect amount of ice :)

In a nutshell (outdoor menu): It felt like the kind of food that makes people not like upscale food. Pretty dishes, cute venue, but food was overpriced and had little flavor.
I swear I had asparagus with no oil or spices, and there was a kid cooking on the grill outside...
On top of that, we ended up going on the day of an event and rain. We got moved in and out twice. Staff were really nice about it but seemed unorganized.
