The restaurant is located in a small house which adds to the appeal. It was not really busy the evening I went there so it felt spacious. The wait staff was attentive but there were times where the wait between the courses were lengthy. Started...out with the tzaziki which was surprisingly absent of cucumber, which what I am accustomed to. The spinach phyllo was excellent and I wish I had ordered more. The shrimp gnocchi was excellent and probably my favorite of the evening. The tuna tataki being a close runner-up. The open face chicken and moshari ginger did not captivate me. Finished the evening with a creme brulee which was very good. Some of the dishes were overwhelmed with sauces and onions which masked the real flavors. Overall, the evening was good but there was potential that it could have been better.More

I phoned about a month in advance and spoke to Zach. I asked him to reserve us a romantic table for our 1st anniversary. When we were arrived, Zach seated us at the best table in the house. Our waitress Catherine (spelling ?) was there...quickly to take our drink orders and offer advice for dinner. She was awesome. Our food came in very reasonable intervals of time. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Try any of the foods that catch your fancy. I would recommend nearly everything on the menu. I would try some other choices just to see how tasty they were. Cathryn (spelling ?) was an incredible server.More

Amazing food and great service! 100% recommend it. If you haven't tried yet, it's definitely a must. Won't be disappointed.

We booked this online based on reviews and we were NOT disappointed. The restaurant has a very nice comfortable casual atmosphere, the servers are super friendly, helpful and attentive, but the food…it was an amazing Greek feast! Each small dish was prepared with attention to...detail and was off the charts for flavour and presentation. The wine list was plentiful and very reasonable. They recommend 3 dishes per person as a guideline. We may have gone a tad over but we are not dessert eaters, so we went for it!! Order a cocktail and some warm olives with feta and dive into picking your dishes… we chose grilled octopus (best since we left Greece!), ouzo shrimp, dolmades, chicken meatballs, lamb tacos, dates stuffed with Gorgonzola and topped with foie gras (our version of dessert)! Every dish was a home run. Try the Greek wines they are also great. Can’t wait to go back!More

I cannot agree with the reviews I found. The restaurant is nice, it seems to have been created inside a house and the staff is extremely kind. I'm sorry to give a poor rating but this refers to the biblical waiting times between one course...and another but above all to the prices of the menu! Their philosophy is to serve a "double" portion for each dish chosen, therefore the unsuspecting traveler has to pay twice what he has chosen. The bill was expensive and the quality of the food was absolutely not up to par, even considering the very small portions! Absolutely!!More

We were 4 persons for dinner. We were happy to sit on the outdoor deck but right behind us were the garbage cans which when the breeze went by the smell was not pleasant. We ordered 5 plates which pretty much all with the same...base, (except the salad) sautéed green and red pepper and some onion and some feta. Our shared Greek salad had one olive person person, kinda skimpy. The service was indifferent. No one ever came to see how we were enjoying our small plates, or if we wanted more wine or more food.More

Having just tried Aroma Meze, I can tell you that all six dishes I tried were simply amazing. In addition to great food, Aroma has a really nice atmosphere. The only issue I had was with the service. Once our samples started arriving, it was...at a good pace, so basically about 5 or 10 minutes after we had finished a plate, which is good given they are small like a normal tapas. However, after our third portion, there was a gap of about 35-40 until our next serving. This was way too long and left us feeling forgotten about. That said, my girlfriend, who has been to Aroma several times, stated that this long wait between courses was unusual. Overall, it was a very tasty experience and I’m sure we’ll be back.More

Loved this restaurant. Each small plate we had was terrific, loved the beet stack and lamb burger, however everything was really delicious. Very nice atmosphere.

I loved this restaurant! The food was very good (especially the octopus), the waiter very friendly and you can eat at a leisurely pace, not feel like you are being rushed. The ambience was great also. Highly recommend if you are looking to try a...different type of dining style with small plates every 15 minutes or so.More

Somewhat eclectic little spot with ambience an warmth. And the food, though more tapas style is outta this world. Service was attentive and prices very fair. On my to do first thing when we come back to Ottawa.

Great food, very friendly service, best table in the house (table for 2 at the window) and a good wine list with something for everybody. We liked to try different small plates. In our case 6 small plates was enough. The tacos (fish and pulled...meat) were our favourites. We understand the concept of small plates and serving them one by one, but we personally would like to have all the plates on the table and mix and match a little bit (especially with the olives, feta and tzatziki).More

Beautiful patio Attentive and helpful service. Most importantly, the food was delicious with a variety of innovative dishes. Prices were reasonable.
