Review from Barry Z.

What is great food without great atmosphere?
And a great atmosphere is created with exemplary service and
a fitting decor, which at Signatures is a wonderful take on what I would call formal French Country.
The menus are extensive, inlcuding a full course for vegetarians as well as a marathon "Menu de Degustation" and currently "A Taste of Canada", highlighting Canadian ingredients.
For great food, and a trip into the formalities of fine dining, there is no better representative in Ottawa.
I have dined here often, and every time my expectations were happily exceeded.
For groups there are private rooms catering to parties of 4-6 (and up).
For "date" night, a special occasion (Mother's Day), or just for a treat, Signatures is a true destination of a restaurant.
Sidebar: The scallops and risotto here were amazing! -

First, just a caviat to my review. I attended this restaurant for a business event, and therefore the menu was fixed, without much choice. Nevertheless, I would have expected more from this restaurant, based on previous reviews.
There really wasn't anything outstanding about my meal. I had a salad, thick pea and lentil soup, bison roast, and light cheesecake (with almonds, nuts and fruit). The bison roast was certain the best part of the meal, with the others being thoroughly mediocre. While the meal certainly wasn't bad, I was expecting more. I will likely try it again without a fixed menu to see if it was just a bad night... -

Simply put, phenomenal meal. I wanted to treat my friend to a good meal and we weren't disappointed... Not entirely.
From today's menu, we ordered
- Warm roasted pumpkin, apple and romaine salad with a Manchego cheese and prosciutto croquette
- Duck rillette, foie gras au torchon and smoked duck breast, fig and olive compote, condiments
- Duck breast with cocoa nibs, old cheddar creamy potato purée, maïtake mushrooms, roasted Nantes carrots and parsnips
- Seared scallops, corn risotto, chioggia beets, maple syrup foam, curry broth
- Chocolate Liègeois, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, meringue
We really enjoyed our appetizers. Presentation was nice but the texture and taste was impressive. Never have we ever eaten so slow to savouring every bite. The combination of tastes It was combining items to blend the taste. Romaine salad, mildly strong cheese, and pumpkin seeds. Mashed pumpkin with apple slices, crispy posciutto. Makes me wonder what the other appetizers are like.
Our main courses were good but wasn't as spectacular as the appetizers. The cocoa nibs and duck was interesting. The bitter taste of the cocoa nibs over powered the duck, but as it disappeared, all you are left was the duck. The Cheddar potato was an interesting combination. My friend liked the scallops, but had a biased taste having tried fresh scallops out in New Brunswick. She really liked the scallops in New Brunswick.
Dessert was nice. Heavy on the chocolate. Simply put, it was chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce with whipped cream in a cup. Nice to share
Service was spectacular. The waiting staff explained the menu to us on items we didn't understand and pointed out what each item was when serving our meal.
It was a nice house converted into a restaurant. Draw back was we could hear the conversation 2 tables over. But at least it didn't drown out our own conversation. -

Delicious food, excellent service. We chose the Winterlude menu and it was amazing. Highly recommended. It is definately an experience.
One thing to note is no matter where you go there is always pretentious people, talking too loud about how great they are. I wish these people would stay home. -

Great food and excellent service.
The scallops were cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Desserts were beautiful and satisfying.
A perfect place for all occasions.
