We went to s o m e w h e r e tonight to celebrate a 15th wedding anniversary. They were so accommodating when I wanted to bring in some things to decorate our tables- even helping me out! James is bartender extraordinaire and we’ll definitely be coming back for cocktails soon. Aurel was our server and it was so busy but he took excellent care of our bigger group. Food was delicious and so beautifully presented. It’s on the pricier side but so worth it- especially for a special occasion. Sadly it was pouring rain so we didn’t get to sit out on the patio but we will be back! The blackened jerk chicken was to die for! And the Japanese dumplings we had as a starter- yummy! Recommend 100%
My girlfriend and I were in Ottawa for her birthday, and I managed to get a reservation at the somewhere dinner. The service was excellent and the food was good, like really good. The Japanese dumplings we had were some of the best we've eaten so far, meanwhile my main pasta dish was also really tasty. Since it was my girlfriend's birthday, they brought out 2 slices of cake for the both of us on the house! I would definetly recommend this spot for a small birthday celebration to anyone that wants a cozy place around the byward market area!
The ambiance on the patio was nice but similar to previous review music too loud at 7:30 and could hardly hear friends at same table. Food fair to good but not overwhelming. The service was great but the food took almost 2 hours on a slow Monday night and not complicated order. We were informed the kitchen was backed up? The order arrived at 10 and we were seated at 7:30, with order by 8:15. Offered shots due to long wait which was nice gesture but were sweet and not great tasting. Would have been better to offer either a few appetizers such as flatbread to start or dessert. Great to continue to bring water but temperature lukewarm on hot night, either serve cold water or add ice. Cocktails nice but definitely not worth $18.00. Would not come back unfortunately!
Cute patio in the back. Drinks were great. Food plating was nice but quality/preparation is questionable- raw oysters were not fresh and had shell pieces; watermelon salad was bland and the bed of spring mix underneath was partially rotten; the octopus was completely over cooked (very mush). No complaints for the fries. The service was good but orders took over 30 mins to come.
Had dinner here-didn’t love it.We had:-Oysters: These were buck a shuck so don’t expect amazing flavor. I found the taste alright although some oysters were more bitter than others-Octopus: The octopus itself was cooked perfectly and seasoned simply so we could enjoy the natural taste of the meat. However the sides didn’t suit it; the addition of grilled pears created a confusing flavor combination. There were also bell peppers in there that made the dish even more sweet..-Truffle Risotto: My least favorite dish. The rice was dry and the sauce was excessively cheesy. Bad texture and taste.The restaurant itself is nicely decorated, but the lighting is awful. It gives off nightclub vibes. The food they serve is on the fancier side so the poor lighting really ruins the presentation and therefore part of the dining experience.
I was very very impressed with somewhere dine bar.Went on Valentine’s Day, and was greeted by multiple sweet servers.The restaurant’s interior is pleasing and aesthetic.We ordered Grilled Moroccan Octopus as appetizers, and Trofie Pasta and Grilled Salmon as our main dishes.I was surprised by the portion of all, especially the octopus.All dishes were of high quality food, with visual proofs.I would say this restaurant serves better than other top restaurants, and I would recommend others to visit.
Tried Somewhere for the first time and our experience was lackluster. The servers and staff were great but the food didn't seem to live up to the price. The beer choices were exceptionally bad for a place that seems to pride themselves on their drink selection. Plenty of great cocktails and wine but not one craft beer available. Worth another try though!
Got engaged at this restaurant on Valentine’s Day! Atmosphere and food was outstanding! Staff were great! Would definitely recommend! Will definitely be a staple for us ❤️
There is a waiter at somewhere who is absolutely amazing, I forgot his name… I think it’s Aurel? So talented so amazing so personable, if you have the chance to come to somewhere make sure you come see Aurel! Very handsome too!!!! Sadly taken though….. The rest of the staff is amazing too, so friendly so amazing so talented! The atmosphere is great, the food is great, the drink is great. If you’re looking for a great night out come here :)
The cutest patio to grab drinks and food at! My friends and I enjoyed everything we ordered.
