    Located in the heart of the market, tucked away off the a major street. Loved the decor & layout - spacious, high ceilings, rocks walls, chandeliers, different levels, and a section with floor to ceiling (inclusive) windows. Our waiter was attentive & friendly but unobtrusive. Menu choices were kept within a reasonable quantity and food was very tasty.

    Our food was delicious. I particularly liked my dinner's rice and charred shishito peppers. My mocktail was mostly ice with very little ginger beer. My host liked his wine. Our waiter recommended we order 2 appetizers and 2 mains, which would have been too much for us to eat as the main courses are substantial. We're glad we didn't take his recommendation. Service was fine up to and including our after-dinner coffees, then our waiter disappeared, It was almost 11pm (we'd arrived for dinner at shortly before our 9pm reservation time) so by then we may have been the last patrons in the restaurant. Did our waiter forget we were there? We flagged down a waitress who was cleaning up the other tables and she brought us our bill. We'll return to the restaurant as the ambiance and food were excellent and they serve dinner late, but we hope our service is better the next time. Or we'll ask for the bill when we get our coffees.

    Great food and atmosphere. We came with our grandchildren from Montreal to have a day in Ottawa and dine at Joeys which is their favorite restaurant (ours also). Greacen was our server and she was great and treated the kids like adults. Thank you Joeys
