I booked a last minuted reservation here for my Brother's birthday. My family were all very satisfied with their meals and the service was excellent. Naj was a wonderful server and all staff were super-friendly and accommodating. Would HIGHLY recommend this spot. Local gem.
As a newcomer to the Ottawa restaurant scene, I haven't been overly impressed, until CARBEN that is! The restaurant is modern and trendy but welcoming and accommodating. Service was excellent: fast, friendly, and informative. Plates were beautifully presented and original. I particularly appreciated the use of fresh ingredients in combinations I wouldn't have necessarily thought of (ex strawberry gaspacho with cilantro and fresh yogurt). The main dish was also flavourful and a reasonable portion.
I will certainly return and will bring guests!
Impeccable service, creative dishes with gorgeous plating, balanced cocktails, and my fave wine is on the list. Would recommend to anyone.
