Review Oz Kafe - Ottawa

Michelle Lee
The ambience and food was truly delicious! The pork tenderloin.. one of the best dish I’ve had in a while, everything on that plate was very very delicious. i especially loved the corn. The cocktail, and the appetizer were also nice. The servers were friendly, and I can definitely see myself visiting here again.

Great little place with a beautiful atmosphere. Hands down the best Caesar cocktail I have ever had! Their charcuterie board was outstanding as well. I liked how you could pick what you would like on it.

Starting off positive : great spot and very cozy! Also on point: appetizers. I had the Nordic shrimp my partner had the beet and pear salad. Both were top-notch. The mains however didn’t fare nearly as well. The seared trout had good flavours with only the inkling of being cooked. Cornish hen was nicely done at the accompanying vegetables and gratin could have used more oomph. Presentation and food temperature were both very good. The service started out strong however began to deteriorate throughout the meal. We sat for 20+ minutes after completing our meals without a single check in by any staff. If we had better service that was consistent throughout the experience I’d be able to rate the OZ Kafe better.

Nice back alley restaurant. Reserved in advance for indoor and they contacted us to upgrade us to outdoor after an opening. We had two cheeses and three charcuteries (rilette, terrine, lamb sausage), Spanish white wine and a strawberry tartelette. Wine was great and paired well with our platter. Cheddar was very nice and lightly strong. Meats were nice, especially the terrine and pickled veggies. Would appreciate a bit of fresh bread with them instead of just crispy crosstinis. Strawberry tart crust was way too thick (while fully cooked); we expected the tart to fly off the plate every time we tried to cut it (we don't eat with our hands).

The atmosphere, staff and proprietors make this dining experience well above expectations. It was a very relaxed experience and the tastes were very well orchestrated and paired with each plate from the starters to the main course. The service was attentive but subtle in our dining pleasure. Will be making this a regular occurrence.

This was truly an experience. My belly and I were extremely happy. Great service and atmosphere. I highly recommend.

My husband and I were looking forward to a nice dinner. We chose this restaurant based on location and reviews. Unfortunately we were very disappointed in the food. The cauliflower garlic soup we ordered was lukewarm. The trout dinner was lukewarm. Half the trout was raw. The carrots could barely be cut through and had too much salt. The beef dinner was lukewarm. The wait staff was pleasant. While we were offered free desserts which we were not interested in and then given a free glass of wine, it was disappointing that the manager did not come to talk to us about the food coming out of his kitchen. Will never go back and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Great food and drinks. Awesome vibes for date night or a special day. Had a few appetizers and charcuterie boards

Sharing this review on behalf of guests I took to the restaurant who wanted to share their thoughts, but they are not on Facebook. "Our first impression was wonderful, as we were greeted warmly by the manager upon entering the inviting atmosphere. We took a peek upstairs before being seated on the main level at our reserved table. We loved how the heritage stone and wooden beams of the building were highlighted in the restaurant. I had a Caesar and it was very tasty. My husband was pleased to see that they have a non-alcoholic beer available, as he was driving us quite a distance home after dinner. Our server was attentive to our needs throughout and she was friendly and welcoming. We loved the cauliflower appetizer and very much enjoyed the cured trout. I had the cornish hen, and my husband had the pork rib chop -- we both enjoyed our entrees very much. Overall, everything was top-notch and it was a lovely experience. We are new to Oz Kafe and we were very happy with our first evening there."

The new Oz Kafe location takes everything that was great about the Elgin st location (atmosphere, amazing food, innovative drinks and impeccable next level service) and applies it to this much larger but still cozy new location. Beautiful warm wood beams, exposed rock walls are inviting and charming, and the good 'ol concrete bar makes it feel like home. Veg forward menu left this veg client beyond satisfied, and my dates insisted we wait for the late night menu- we did and were not disappointed. Congrats Oz, it was worth every second of waiting for this gorgeous new location and brand refresh. If you're reading this and haven't gone yet, GO! Much love, m.

Nice little late night cafe hidden away in an alley, very private and has a great atmosphere. They have the best bologna sandwiches I've ever had.

My friend and I had the pleasure of ending our night at Oz and it was absolutely lovely. The space itself is beautiful and cozy, but the staff is what's going to get me to come back. Truly lovely people working at this establishment, really blown away by how welcoming they were even with people walking in at 1am on a Sunday �

My mom celebrated her birthday here with 60 of her closest friends and family. Oz and their wonderful chef made planning and organizing everything so easily. They accommodated all of my mothers allergies and everyone left with their bellies full! Thank you so much for such a glorious night!
