We had been waiting to go to this restaurant for years as I am a strict vegetarian/vegan. To note, the menu is vegan…right up until they use a lot of honey and bee products (odd). The food was excellent and creative and Asian-leaning. We particularly loved the tempeh and mole taco and the Maitake mushroom in smoky kelp broth. However, the portions were small and nothing in the 8-course tasting menu (2 of which were desserts) stood out as a main. I left a bit hungry. The two desserts were too similar (both frozen/ice creams). We had the fermented juice pairing which was super interesting but not worth $135. The ambiance is stark and uninspired - think minimalist old Ottawa house. Service was excellent but occasionally difficult to hear/understand food descriptions. For value, I know this is the #31 top-rated restaurant in Canada, but for two diners, if you both have wine/juice pairing, with tax and tip you are near $900. A $100 gift certificate I had been given during COVID was not honoured (I was given a receipt but the actual GC could not be found). I understand the restaurant’s perspective but this was disappointing from a customer service perspective. Would absolutely go back for the food but not at this price.

We do use honey throughout the menu, not just in one dish. This is why our menu is plant-based, not vegan. I am sure you understand why we couldn't honour a copy of a receipt from 2019, which we've explained to you prior to your visit over the phone.
