   We had an excellent evening at this restaurant. The layout, featuring smaller, more intimate rooms, greatly enhances noise management. The room we dined in accommodated 6-7 tables, providing a comfortable atmosphere where conversations could be held at a normal volume. It’s an ideal venue for those who prefer a quieter, less crowded setting. The service was outstanding. They were attentive without being intrusive. Every detail was handled proactively, ensuring we never had to ask for anything. We were scouting venues for a wedding dinner, and this establishment is currently our top choice, provided the guest list aligns with the room capacities available for private rental. We are eager to return and explore this option further.

   The food is amazing (5 course tasting menu) and the wine pairings perfect. Our server was outstanding: very friendly and knew her stuff. She took great care of us. The knowledge of the chef(s) of what goes together food wise is a true art!

   We were very underwhelmed by our experience. The charcuterie board was very boring and the hanger steak was far too salty. The server left us feeling ignored as there was a larger table next to us that she doted on and we had to try to get her attention several times as she ignored us. We ended up not getting our after-dinner drinks as the waitress had forgotten them. I would expect this from more mainstream restaurants.

   We've eaten at Beckta many times as it's one of our favorite restaurants, but not tonight. We wound up with a complimentary soup due to an ordering error. It was superb and, along with the green matcha cake, the highlight of our dinner. Unfortunately the mains were underwhelming. Both were much too salty - my husband's cornish hen and my salmon. My Swiss chard was far too oily and also very salty - inedible in fact. We mentioned this to our server and she topped up our wines as partial compensation. It's a shame as normally food is exceptional.

   Dear Linda: I'm so sorry that your main courses were too salty on your recent visit and that it took so much away from your experience. The chef has been made aware of the issue based upon your comments and has made sure that the situation won't be repeated. I really hope we can restore your trust in us on another visit and I'd love to find a way to make this up to you at the same time. -Steve Beckta

   As a table of former waitresses and bartenders, this was by far the best service we’ve ever had. Our waiter was attentive, polite, quick, and we had a wonderful experience. There was another gentleman helping out as well and he was also wonderful, he checked on allergies and made us feel at ease. Overall, the food was great, but the service ensured we had an even better experience. Thank you.

   Did blind tasting menu with wine pairing. Between waitstaff who perfectly explained each course to the perfect presentation and creativity of each dish, the evening was incredible. Beckta was fantastic as always.

   Delicious food. Chef’s cooking philosophy was reflected on their food.

    Came from out of town, researched “”Top 10 restaurants in Ottawa”. After reading rave reviews selected Beckta , which left much to be desired! One of my party received the wrong meal with uncooked potatoes and another meal tasted like it was reheated after sitting too long. The service was quite attentive , but a major disappointment as we were looking forward to an exceptional experience. To their credit, we were not charged for the wrong meal and received some complimentary biscuits to take home, but sadly, the opportunity to make a lasting impression was lost.
