Quite sad that there is only one vegetarian main dish (or none?) and that the only vegetarian Hill times snack has been taken of the menu. The appetizers offer a bit of choice for vegetarians, but nothing really impressive. Very limited vegetarian choices compared to similar restaurants in Ottawa.
Restaurant was *very* loud and I often found myself leaning over to hear what my dinnermates were saying. Our server had a great sense of humor but was arrogant - often at the expense of others at the table. Of the 10+ servers I watched, only two used a napkin to hold the baguette as they sliced bread for customers. The rest used, you guessed it, their hands. Servers handle money and credit cards and are constantly interacting with germy diners. Why are they touching the bread? The hostess interrupted the waiter to speak to my mother about a gift card she had won at an online auction. Unprofessional. No points for style. I ordered the beet salad as an appetizer and was disappointed to receive a plate full of frisee lettuce and one halved roasted beet. If I order a beet salad, I want to eat beets, not weeds. The cheese and meat plate shared by my mother and brother looked good but it was overpriced. Another disappointing note about this dish is that it wasn't served with crackers or nice toasted crustini. It came with the same bread we had been eating for thirty minutes. The same man-handled loaves from across the way. My father ordered French onion soup and sait it was good. It looked fine. Wine was great - but they don't make the wine and, therefore, don't get credit. Wine service - could have been a little more attentive on the refills - especially considering we purchased two bottles. My parents shared the cote de boeuf and seemed to really enjoy it. Subtle hint: don't serve huge platters of "food for two" if you're going to sit your guests at bistro tables. It's clumsy. The table-side service was a nice touch and I know my parents enjoyed that flair. My pork (recommended by the waiter) was disappointing. The menu said nothing about the meat being breaded (something I always try to avoid because it's not something I enjoy) and, sure enough, it came breaded. They must have gotten a bargain on potatoes because my plate was piled high. I really enjoyed my single asparagus spear. Note to chef: filling your clients with salt and carbs will only make them feel bloated and gross. I saw another review that mentioned this and it's true. Bread, breading, more bread, some carbs with carbs on the side and salt. Lots of salt. I would suggest the restaurant tweak their menus to more accurately reflect the dish being served. My husband ordered the poutine with smoked chicken. The cheese curds were unacceptable. Don't use bad cheese on a poutine. It needs to be curd-like and stringy and squeaky. It's like putting oatmeal on a good steak. My brother had rack of lamb and seemed to enjoy it. It came with a jaw-dropping pile of wild rice. Dessert. Most of us were too full (of carbs) so we shared tarte tatin and creme brulee. My brother loved the tarte tatin. The creme brulee was the best I've ever had. I will not be back unless work or a generous family member foots the bill.
We arrived at what seemed to be the dinner rush...
We arrived at what seemed to be the dinner rush, on Friday. Getting in was easy, as we’d made reservations. We were early, but there was a table ready for us. We were served drinks almost instantly, and our order was taken only minutes after that.
It took 20 minutes from the time we’d ordered our food until it arrived at our table, which was fantastic amid the rush. The Swordfish was delectable. It was succulent and flavourful, and well worth the price on the menu. The Coq Au Vin was tender and mouth-watering. Each meal was presented beautifully.
After dinner we partook of the Crème Brûlée, which was some of the best I’ve had to date.
We were thoroughly impressed by both the food and the service, and we would most certainly go back again. We definitely recommend this restaurant who’s looking for great food, as long as you can get past just how busy and loud the environment is.
When you step inside, it is as if you are visiting Paris. The food is authentic and the atmosphere is excellent. Service was quick and polite and the server was able to recommend excellent dishes. It is a bit pricey for a student, but it is definitely worth it on special occasions. If you want excellent French cuisine in Ottawa, there is no other place that comes close!
Great that they could accomodate a party of 10 ( with a reservation made the day before) on a Friday night with no pressure at all to leave quickly( we stayed from 5pm to 9pm). Very interesting decor and ambiance. Food and service were good but a bit expensive and it worries me when I see hamburgers and poutine on the same menu as steak and lobster - however it certainly offers enough choices to please everyone. Underground heated parking at a competitive rate makes for very easy access in the winter. Will be interesting to go back in the summer time on the large terrace. Overall an excellent evening out. Thanks Dave.
