“Best place ever! My favourite restaurant in Ottawa”

— TARCISIO, published Feb 18, 2024

“Service was superb! We have not had such great service at a restaurant in a long time. Our server was top notch. Also, we were very impressed that the chef came around the table to say hello and ask how we liked our meal. We have not had that happen in a long time at a restaurant either. The chef was lovely and we told him we all enjoyed our meals very much. And great cocktails! None of our group had ever been to the Starling before, but I will definitely recommend it to others! Thank you.”
