My partner and I had a great dinner here on NYE! We were miraculously able to get a reservation on the day of for 5pm, which was honestly the perfect time.
We started off with some oysters and the bone marrow as appetizers. The oysters were super fresh and absolutely delicious with all the different toppings. I really like the house-made hot sauce on top! The bone marrow was also good but I felt like we didn’t really get much of the actually bone marrow. For our mains, we both got steaks and a side of fried for us to share. I thought that they’d plate the fries so it was odd to see our food come out with a steak and a single pickle-LOL. This didn’t make a difference and we were still able to enjoy our food. We still had room for desert, but wanted to go home, so we got the cheesecake to go. I forgot to take a picture of it because we gobbled it up too quickly. It was one of the best deserts I’ve ever had in a while!
The service was also great! I can’t remember the name of our server but she was really nice. She always made sure our water was filled and that we had everything we needed, which we greatly appreciated. The atmosphere is also very intimate. I love the low lights—perfect for a romantic dinner!
Had a great time overall and I’d love to come back again!

Sussex & Co in ByWard Market is a fantastic spot for dining, especially if you’re looking for a great date night vibe. The service was absolutely outstanding and attentive.
As for the food, the Nova Scotia oysters were incredibly fresh and delicious, and the Wagyu steak was simply perfectly cooked and full of flavour but I find the steak’s portions a little small and pricy. The lamb shank, however, was a bit underwhelming as it was not well marinated and cooked. Thumbs down for it. Overall, it was a good dinning experience for special occasions like Christmas time and so on.

Loved the food and service! However when i walked in i had a reservation for the dining room but the lady kept telling me i had to sit at the bar, until i finally pulled out my phone and she realized i was right i had reserved the dining room, so that was annoying! Anyways the food and service after that was great! Brynna was such a sweetheart!!!Please give her a raise she’s wonderful! The oysters were stellar! I wouldn’t really recommend the bone marrow dish, there was hardly any bone marrow..however the chicken with the garlic sauce was truly delicious!

We came on an adventure for our wedding anniversary… The food was amazing! Tim (our server) was outstanding! Amazing recommendations all around and the cocktails had us ordering more just wanting to try them all. Will be back and soon!!

One of the best culinary experiences I’ve ever had. We went in as a group of 4 and shared several of the appetizers, and each got different cuts of steak. We were blown away by the quality of each dish, the gorgeous presentation (photos couldn’t do it justice) and the exceptional service. The beef tartar, wagyu meatball, oysters, scallop crudo, Caesar salad and comté bread are a must try. The steak frites was perfection. I will be back to enjoy their massive patio a lot this summer! A new gem Ottawa was definitely missing.

If you’re looking for a place that proves simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, this is it. The menu at this steakhouse is refreshingly straightforward — no gimmicks, just perfectly executed dishes that are absolutely packed with flavor. Every bite reflects attention to detail and a real mastery of the ingredients.
I’ll definitely be back for the food — the steak was cooked to perfection — but what truly sets this place apart is the service. From the moment we walked in, the service was top notch. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do.
It’s rare to find a restaurant that nails both the food and the hospitality at this level. A new favorite in Ottawa — highly recommend!

This is the kind of place you bring someone to that takes all the guess work out of making an occassion a little more special. The service our table got is the kind of storybook attention that you assume only exists in the movies, while the food was presented like a carefully orchestrated oil painting that could be hung at the Louvre. Each bite is a revelation of the dish that heightens its essence as you work your way through it (for the Beef Carpaccio, the subtly of the mushroom conserva’s tartness rolls out a solid foundation to savour the Enright Denver Steak’s rich marbling). With a backdrop that makes you feel like your table is the main character, the place to go is Sussex & Co.

Nothing short of amazing! I’ve been twice. The first visit we were a group of four and we ordered a little bit of everything to share with our steaks. Highlights for appies were the Wagu Meatball, The Tartare and my personal favorite was the Charred Broccolini side. Great cocktails too!
My second visit was to celebrate Mother’s Day and the staff went above and beyond to make our visit special.
Will absolutely be back. Love the atmosphere so much. Can’t wait to try their burger patio on my next visit.

I’m genuinely astonished by the positive reviews because our experience last night was incredibly disappointing.
I took my husband here for his birthday dinner, expecting a special evening, and it was almost comical how bad it turned out to be.
We ordered oysters (which were actually very good), but the presentation was awful — no small forks, no side plates, barely any horseradish, and it just felt careless for a steakhouse that positions itself as upscale.
The burrata appetizer was completely lacking flavour and was served with cold, burnt toast. Not slightly overdone — actually burnt and cold.
The biggest letdown was the $90 steak. It was nowhere near the quality we get from Costco at home. For that price point, expectations are high, and this missed the mark entirely. The chimichurri was flavourless and did nothing to elevate it. The Brussels sprouts were so heavily drenched in garlic sauce that I literally choked on my first bite.
The atmosphere is bizarre. It’s SO dark you can barely see your food, the music was far too loud for conversation, and the room was freezing. They had mini space heaters scattered around trying to warm the place up, which just added to the awkward vibe.
The servers were friendly enough, but despite the restaurant being almost empty, we waited far too long between courses and again for the bill.
Overall, we left feeling completely duped. This was supposed to be a birthday dinner, and instead it was a very expensive disappointment. I truly don’t understand how this place has such glowing reviews.
