If you’re from Ottawa and you like good food then you’ve heard of Next. We’d never had the opportunity to eat there and chose to finally do it for our 36th wedding anniversary. It did not disappoint. As with most restaurants these days, the menu is not extensive but the options at NEXT cover a wide range of tastes and preferences and the dishes we chose were all excellent. Really creative inventive combinations of flavours and also visually well presented. Of note, the bao bun and Kapow cauliflower appetizers were memorable as were the rib-eye and short rib curry mains - amazing! Decor is pleasant and contemporary and service is solid and attentive. Barb was our server and she was excellent. We asked for her recommendations and she provided thoughtful guidance and suggestions and helped make our night a success. All in all, NEXT was everything we hoped for on our special night and we will definitely be back!

Dishes are not cheap, but food is good. It's a sharable format where dishes are placed in the middle and you serve yourself. Food was not that hot. I'm not sure why. The waiter was not helpful when asked about food quantity in order to determine how many dishes a couple should order. Anyway, a good "special occasion" / higher price point restaurant.

Chef Blackie presented a delicious Easter brunch, and was so thoughtful when it came to also taking care of our 3 and 4 year old. The cauliflower and eggs benny were among my favourites but everything was delicious. Would recommend for future holidays/celebrations and will be back!

The food was delicious and the service was great. However the restaurant has a cold feel to it, visually, I think it's the white tiles that throw off the feel, but physically, it was quite cold, to the extent that I didn't want to stay for dessert because I was uncomfortable.
