The ambience is absolutely adorable, and the staff are some of the kindest people we’ve met!
Our Server for the day was Emilie & she was the best.
The Highlights:
• Sips: The Sunset Tropicana is a must-try, and the Lavender Mocktail is so refreshing.
• Appetizer: Classic Bruschetta (we loved it!).
• Mains: Lavender Ravioli & Beyond Meat Burger — so scrumptious.
• Dessert: The GF White Chocolate Cheesecake was top notch.
10/10 recommend for your next date night or catch-up with friends.✨
The people, décor, elevated vibe, and beautiful purple-themed lighting created the perfect setting for a milestone celebration. General Manager Hanodin and his team provided exceptional customer service — no request was too big or too small, communication was seamless, and every detail was handled with care. The staff were warm and attentive, the food was delicious, and my guests loved the venue.
It was an unforgettable experience I will never forget. I look forward to returning soon!
We started by sharing the bruschetta, which was incredibly fresh and flavorful. My husband isn’t usually a fan of tomatoes, but even he couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. For our main course, we shared the lavender ravioli—absolutely delicious and the filet mignon. While the filet had great flavor, we did find it a bit tougher than expected for the price, as we’re used to a more melt-in-your-mouth cut. I finished the evening with the crème brûlée, which was amazing. The sugar topping was a bit thicker than I prefer, but it was still a fantastic dessert overall.
What truly made the night special, though, was the exceptional service. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The hostess was so kind and kept a friendly conversation going while we waited (we arrived early), which set the tone for a wonderful evening. Our server, Emilie, was absolutely outstanding, so sweet, warm, and genuinely personable. She was attentive without being overbearing and made us feel completely taken care of. She even apologized for a slight wait due to a large group, but honestly, the timing felt very reasonable given how busy they were. Her positive attitude and attentiveness really elevated our entire experience.
We will definitely be back, especially because of the amazing service. Emilie truly made our date night feel special!
Thank you so much to Shelley, our server, for making our experience the best. You were so friendly, helpful and made my date night special!
We went to view the live jazz band which is a local fixture in this scene and other venues in the vicinity. The “Ottawa Pocket Jazz Band” has a great repertoire of songs and the singing is excellent by the stylish and butter-smooth Floyd Hutchinson. He has a great vocal range and that power! Oooh. The band plays everything with the passion you’d expect. Got to rub shoulders with Floyd and catch up, and met Norm the sax man…smooth operator he is. There was no cover charge for the band, but a handy ‘thanks’ jar and set up to say thank you for a nice experience – didn’t forget to tip the band for the fun evening.
The food is excellent, along with many other superlatives. My wife had the Lavender Ravioli and I had the Chicken Parm – both good size servings – along with a Calamari Appetizer and a Caesar Salad. Wifey had the Lavender Mocktail – ooh that gorgeous purple colour with a dried lime round and the lime tang with the sweet and sour bite hits the right places! For desert we had the Blackberry Tart served on a slate platter drizzled with a coulis. Crumbly creamy deliciousness.
Our server Viggo was fun, attentive and respectful. Loved his great personality even in the short time we interacted. Well-deserved tip. The front welcome staff were attentive and helpful too. Thanks to them.
As we left the restaurant and I was taking a picture, a couple walking by looking for a place to eat asked how we liked it, and they went in based on our experience (and the mention of Jazz).
Would be great if there was a sign outside that explained “live Jazz band”. More eyes on the scene.
A special shout-out to our waitress, Emily, who truly made our evening memorable. She was incredibly welcoming from the moment we sat down, checked on us at the perfect times, and gave great recommendations. Emily was patient, attentive, and had such a warm personality—it honestly felt like she cared about our experience.
Because of her service, the whole visit felt extra special. Will definitely be returning and recommending Lavender Grill to others! ️
Had gnocci & shrimp with the signature lavender cocktail/mocktail – I’d give it all a 8/10. Food could’ve used a bit more flavor, but pretty tasty overall.
Didn’t get to experience the entertainment aspect, unfortunately – so it was pretty chill and not much going on. Would definitely go back for the jazz.
