It's
reputation
is
a
bit
ahead
of
what
it
actually
delivers...
It's
like
a
movie
version
of
a
nice
restaurant
but
they're
all
actors
Edit:
ive
been
asked
to
be
more
specific,
here
goes:
We
were
seated
in
a
very
full,
tight
room
for
a
6ish
pm
dinner
and
no
one
spoke
to
us
for
about
15
mins
after
seating.
At
that
point
a
tall,
very
enthusiastic
(overly
enthusiastic)
waiter
tells
us
that
some
amazing
house
bread
will
be
coming
out
soon,
and
apologizes
for
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
menus
because
they
ran
out
of
menus,
and
that
we'd
get
the
next
set
that
become
available.
Ok,
that's
a
first.
5
minutes
after
that,
two
small,
thinnest
possible
slices
of
some
pretty
good
sourdough
are
presented
to
our
hungry
selves
with
great
gusto.
These
are
eaten
in
one
bite
and
we
are
scratching
our
heads
wondering
where
the
rest
was,
especially
since
it's
been
about
20
mins
since
we've
been
seated,
and
we're
hungry.
The
menus
(!!!)
finally
arrive.
Specials
are
described
at
length.
There
are
only
2-3
dishes
that
we're
into.
We
order
dinner
and
a
bottle
of
wine.
The
dinner
comes
out
and
the
waiter
starts
describing
my
wife's
dish
-
his
description
took
a
really
long
time
and
we're
supposed
to
be
sitting
there
looking
at
our
food
while
he's
doing
this?
He
starts
another
long
description
of
my
dish
and
I
said
"that's
ok,
thanks"
and
I
started
eating
and
he
actually
said
"you
don't
want
me
to
describe
the
dish
to
you?"
in
a
sad,
disappointed
way.
And
he
made
me
feel
so
bad
about
it
that
I
stopped
eating
(we're
starving
at
this
point)
and
said
"ok,
let's
hear
it"
and
he
just
started
up
again
from
the
beginning,
as
if
that
was
the
point
of
the
dinner,
and
seemed
genuinely
happy
that
he
got
to
finish
the
description,
no
clue
about
the
fact
that
I'm
starving
and
pretty
annoyed
with
him
by
then.
Ok,
description
done,
we're
eating
and
drinking
the
bottle
of
wine
we
ordered.
Except
that,
again,
we're
generally
left
alone
the
rest
of
the
meal
(which
I
don't
mind),
but
when
he
sees
me
refilling
my
wife's
glass
of
wine
because
it
had
been
empty
a
few
minutes,
he
comes
across
the
room
and
tops
hers
off
by
a
few
more
millimetres
and
then
mine
with
a
kind
of
"oh
I've
got
that"
expression.
Ok
thanks,
man.
Look
the
food
was
creative,
tasted
ok,
but
it
was
nothing
exceptional
in
today's
Ottawa
food
scene.
There
were
only
a
few
dishes
we
even
considered
ordering,
as
we're
not
really
into
chicken
hearts
and
calf
liver
and
such.
The
vibe
there,
particularly
from
this
waiter,
is
not
one
we
ever
want
to
experience.
I
dunno,
I'm
a
huge
fan
and
supporter
of
the
Ottawa
restaurant
scene
-
I
love
that
it's
thriving.
This
is
the
only
new
restaurant
we've
tried
in
5
years
where
my
overall
reaction
was
"Nah."
