ABOUT US

Step into History, Feel the Heartbeat of Our Restaurant

At our restaurant, stepping through the doors is like stepping back in time. Our building, a cherished piece of Ottawa's history, dates all the way back to 1875. We've preserved its rich heritage by embracing its original character, keeping the stories alive within its walls.

As you enter, you'll be captivated by the charm of a bygone era. Original light fixtures gently illuminate the space, casting a warm glow on the memories that reside here. Exposed brick walls whisper tales of the past, reminding us of the vibrant souls who have graced this place before us.

But what truly sets us apart is our exceptional team. Our head of the restaurant has been here since day one, even before the construction dust settled. Brett Creighton, our General Manager, and Paolo di Bello, our executive chef, poured their hearts and sweat into building this establishment from the ground up, with their bare hands. Their unwavering commitment and passion breathe life into every corner, infusing the space with an indescribable sense of pride and ownership.

We're not just a restaurant; we're a family bound by a shared love for creating memorable experiences. Every day, we come together, fueled by the understanding that perfection isn't about consistency; it's about showing up, bringing our best selves, and letting the magic unfold naturally. We're human, not machines, and it's the imperfections and genuine connections that make us who we are.

Now, we invite you to be a part of our story. Experience the heart and soul that permeate every dish, every smile, and every moment spent within these hallowed walls. Your reviews hold immense power, as they reflect the personal connections we strive to forge with each and every guest.

Let your words flow from the heart, sharing your unique experience, and spreading the joy that fills this historic space. We're grateful for your support and the opportunity to continue our legacy, together.
