We dined there on Saturday night after having a somewhat disappointing experience back in July. In the summer the food was good but not great, the service was sloppy and rushed, and the wine list was surprisingly short and overpriced. Everything seems to have been fixed though - we had a great experience Saturday. Clearly the new chef (Vardy) has brought the food up to where it should be, the wine list was improved (and the sommelier helped a lot too), and the service was great by Ottawa standards (that is to say polite and pleasant but not obviously professional) and not rushed at all. I had a little pasta and pig's cheek appetizer and a main course of duck two ways (magret and what they called pulled confit), both of which were perfect. My companions had the lamb and arctic char mains and they were impressed as well. Mon Nov 13 15:00:12 -0800 2006 15433 mikelbyl 1 2018280 how much was your meal?
